Ok so ive been away from this forum for a around two years since i sold my r . i purchased an ep3 after and recently sold it . This was to make way for a brand new ford fiesta st but the waiting time is a joke so i have canceled it . So now im looking to kill to birds with one stone , as its...

Sold!!!

Hi all , anyone know where this switch is .

Ok been having trouble with my r for ages now. turning into a bit of a nightmare. In oct2010 it over heated badly. I gathered parts and had the head skimmed polished etc . In jan put it back together started fine, ran ok but water still going in oil . Also after the car gets hot the water...

As in title ive just fired my car up and there is a light on the dash looks like a sausage with 3 heat lines coming off it . This was on the car before the overheating problem so its no suprise its still there . Problem is i cant seem to get it to go out ,ive dissconnected the plugs under...

Ive looked at the gtirworkshopmanual but it doesnt say what the lobes are doing . And I couldnt find anything on this forum. Ive set no1 piston tdc . So on piston no1 no valves should be open when I insert both cams On no1, Am I right in saying the inlet lobe should have just past the...

Looks like i may found the reason my car overheated . I was driving the car hard but temps were fine . Got stuck in traffic jam and I switched the engine off then back on 5 seconds later . Water temp went straight up to 3/4 of the scale and i knew something was wrong as the car started to rev...

Can anyone shed any light where this goes . I heard it drop on the floor when i was removing the chain tensioner . looked on nissan4u and gtirworkshopmanual and cant see it anywhere . Although it could have come from somewhere else as ive removed the head in situ.

Is there a special tool or a specific technique to removing the crank bolt on our cars . There's loads of pulley holding tools out there , but not for Nissan .

Trying to get my piston Tdc . The marks on the crank pulley are no-where near Tdc on piston number one, I've been turning the crank what feels like forever and it doesn't seem to be changing at all. Infact pistons 2 and 3 are closer to being Tdc when the marks come round. Any help would be...

Im currently in the process of shimming the head I need alot of shims and guides . Phoned nissan and these are now £25 each . Found shims for $10 on frs sport so would be loads cheaper .

Just agreed to have the folowing done to my head seeing as its off . Open up and flow inlet and exhaust ports Open valve throats cut valve seats clean valves + cap valve stem oil seals machine head face degrease and rebuild. Also can port inlet and exhaust manifolds at extra cost

It seems I have blown the headgasket but wont know until ive got the head off . Ive taken both the inlet and exhaust manifolds off and rocker cover. But now im stuck with what to do next, do i just start removing cams first or untension the chain ,or is there somthing else to do. Do I mark...

Thinking of upgrading soon to either of these .Running 1.2 on standard unit and im still on factory internals and want to keep it that way for a while . Looking to run around 350-370ish purely because of the g/box. I know the disco potato(t2860 can run 360bhp) and has a rep for spooling fast...

Anyone ever done this ,would like to know if can cause det, overfuelling etc . Read some threads of other forums about fords and subarus running without them without issue . The argumant was that the ecu takes no value from the lambda/o2 sensor at WOT so wont cause running issues . Is the...

I was fiddling about with alternator bracket underneath the car and forgot to re-plug the sensor back in before driving . Once warm i went to high boost setting and noticed the car pulled noticably harder and longer from a lower in the rev range. That sweet smell of fuel that you get...

Took the car out tonight seems to hold standard boost fine . Which is 0.6 with the avcr off . On high boost set at 1.2 bar with foot to the floor boost gets to about 1bar then drops to 0.9 then back up to 1.1 then back down to 0.9 then eventually up to 1.2 . Thought it maybe a boost leak at...

While I'm waiting for aa I'm baffled as to what's happend . Was driving with the avcr off and all was well then put the avcr to high boost went round a couple off bends on and off throttle and pulled well then as I got to about 5krpm heard a loud pop and lossed power and car sputterd with...

Fitted a front mount the weekend ,after car was fully warmed up at idle i gave it a quick 5min blast round the block. Everything seemed ok . When I got back to check things were ok under the bonnet ,i put my hand i my new shiny intercooler pipe and it was very very hot. I would say it was...

Its the top ones im after but i think the bottom ones are the same . Could do with a set tonight if anyones got any in west mids I have a bike so dont mind coming to you. Really wanted to get my car back on the road this weekend.
