power steering fluid leak
cheers for taht im have to inspect and see where ive got damp its difficult to see just by looking with ebverything in place. i take it removing the lines is simply a case of undo each end undo retaining clip s then slide out?. replace refill bleed out air..

power steering fluid leak
is that the sort inch diameter one i spotted? im gonna get in underneath tomorrow looks to me like a job best inspected from below. dont think the pot itself is leaking. theres not excessive fluid round it. i take it the one your reffering to vods in the one i can see running down the side of the rad towards teh steering rack? there are rust joins on that with dampness on them. im guessing best just to pull it out and have anew one knocked upa nd fit it.

surface rust removal
yup esp if its a poor weld that has become porus and has become containated. its all to do with the shroud of the welding torch and the gass setting. the quality of the rod loads of things. i saw a very expensive piece of stainless the other day with shit welds that are rusting a few months after placement. :( poor quality job in general tbf(not the exhaust the handrail i was looking at)

oh dear bolt thinking
i was thinking about outsmarting him with a strange flap system that allows air to pass but prevents dirt entering because of the direction of travelof the wheel :D

oh dear bolt thinking
thats what i was thinking but i was also thinking that wouldnt be agreat idea because of the shite off the road getting in the arch

surface rust removal
it is its 304 grade i believe you would need 316 to truly fend off the rust bug. and even then over time some oxidation would occur. if it contains iron it will rust eventually

oh dear bolt thinking
i was looking at my car today front on and thought hey where do those intercooler ducts actually go....so i had a sneeky peek in teh arch. no venting there. i did notice a cheeky piece of plastic taht direrts dirty road air towards my brakes for cooling swish ey. but where is all this air shes sucking in those two side holes going? does it reroute into the engine bay does it hit a brick wall? if i assume correctly that it just goes into the wing and does nothing it seems silly. should be be opening up a pathway for the air to go and thus increase teh cooling capacity of these smic and therefore lower intake temps and produce more bhp? im sure mr nissan is blantly smarter than me and has redirected them to a secret location unknown to me.
