Wheel specs are; 18x 10.5 et-6 18x 12 et 0. So I think I'll have to trial them on my car just because.

Hi guys. I managed to pick up a spares car. This car was actually imported with my blue car originally so it's nice to have them back in the same stable. It's actually reasonable tidy but I want the subframes & interior bits from it. The engine slipped a tooth so I'm hoping to either save it or use it for spares.

Thanks guys I'll have a play over the next week or so & report back.

The engine. The car.

Thanks again. I think I'll take your advise & throw a belt on to check compression. Top man cheers.

Unfortunately I bought the car with the engine partially stripped. The belt was already cut off. Luckily it came with a complete belt & tensioner kit. As it's part stripped should I just pull the heads off & have a look?

I've bought another Gloria for parts but the cambelt had slipped a tooth at idle. Is the engine a tolerance engine with clearance between the piston & valves or will it more than likely have bent a valve? What other damage could it have done?

Cheers for the reply. I read up about matching parts between turbo & n/a. I've found a complete car in Manchester for parts but it would cost me as much to get it back as it's worth.

I have the Nissan Gloria & I want to source parts to convert it to manual. I have the pedals & the clutch cylinder from my old skyline & from my old nissan 200sx. These are basically the same but I'm after all the mechanical parts. Can you guys recommend & breaker or a forum member that could help with the gearbox, prop, clutch etc? Any help would be appreciated.

I found some google images of the exhaust set up around the box.

Hello mate. Loooong time no see. It would be good to catch up with you. Pop over I'm still in Kingswood. I'll be going to cars and coffee at Queens square the 2nd weekend of may. Bring the S15.

That's amazing I didn't know they made tuned versions. I had a quick Google but couldn't find any interior shots

I'm new to the forum & I've got to say the build quality on this forum is truly inspiring. That exhaust system sounds stunning.

Thanks for the info. The car was originally a de according to the vin plate.
