Removing Exhaust Cats
You can do it with a hammer and a long drift, but i did it once on my dads car when his cat was knackered and waiting for a new one to come, it sounded very tinny, not very nice. I have downpipes and decats from chris@getgreddy well worth the money spent. Baz

Removing Exhaust Cats
They're the cat temp sensors, you need to remove them and cable tie them up out of the way. If you cut the wires a light will stay on on the dash. Baz

Replacing the rear wheel hub
Hi Mate, There not hard to do at all, remove the disk and handbrake assembly, remove the outer bolts in the 2 stabilizer arms and the 1 in the bottom of the shocker, remove the 32mm nut from the end of the drive shaft, this then allows you to pull the top forwards and undo the 4 bolts holding the bearing assembly and nut on the handbrake shoe centering pin.. I would buy new bearings, there available from MJP. I think that makes sense. HTH Baz

whining in 2nd gear
Could be the same problem i had on mine in 2nd and 4th, noisy main shaft bearings in the box, i've just replaced all the bearings in the box and replaced all the synchro's too to save having it apart again later on. A full set of bearings from Nissan was about £330. Symptoms were a whining under load and at idle but disappeared with the clutch down. Baz

Compression test
"usually worth testing 'wet' to avoid erroneous results - drop of oil in the cylinder" ( Rich ) This is incorrect, adding oil into the cylinder will give incorrect readings and hide any piston ring probs, adding oil is only done if you have low compression and want to distinguish between rings and valves causing a problem.

Ahhh!!! Not Another Dump Valve Question!!!
I got them as a kit, but you can buy a set of stainless pipes with the BOV flanges to replace the rubber ones from DTA in the traders section. I removed the recircs and bloked up the hoses to them. Baz

rear wheelbearing
The only difference between the two is a small pin in the hub assy to locate the pivot for the handbrake shoes, you can buy them from any normal motor factors but they still include the fixed part of the hub and were more expensive than MJP who's selling genuine parts. Baz
