yes if your crank pulley (aka harmonic balancer) is 'out of balance' and noisy then my advice is very simple. start saving. :P

check your balance bolt is done up tight, as it comes loose it will make a noise which sounds like a bearing is stuffed in the PS pump or something. it wont take long for the balancer to wreck the keyway it's located on, and if you are really unluckly things only get worse from there.

BB surely his mechanic friend would pick up a loose h/balancer, he should be able to see that himself!!

thanks guys, it sounds about right what your explaining, its only been happeneing for a week or so, and i've maybe done an hours driving at most. got to get to kirawee tomorrow morning and it should be safe.. i hope!

i'll make note of him to check that out, amoung other things.

thanks again.

My key that fits the harmonic balancer just decided to break a few months ago.

Result was new harmonic balancer and key...the sound was like a rattle in the front end of the motor.

The balancer was still working..(on that is..lol)....not working well though.

3 weeks after thatI heard some other rattles..this was getting worse every day.Turned out the drive shaft bolt(main)..was just about to fall off....the thing was wobbling like a drunk..lol

Result..no damage...2 bolts now..one on top of each other..problem fixed.

4 weeks after my exhaust bolts decided to drop off...ffs....rattled a little before it dropped..lol.

I had not noticed one had dropped off and though nothing of it..until both went.

Result..two new bolts with 2 others for support on top.

A friend of mine suggested I should get a tyre gun and tighten everything up.....with the force put on the car

at even half throttle just shakes,breaks or losens up all the bolts.

Anyway...could be lots of things..good luck finding out.

Edited for bad spelling

Well it made it to the workshop this morning. and i gave him a short list of things to sort out. fingers crossed all will be ok.

if not i'm going to need someone to write me a nice email in japanese to a company over there to get myself a new 34Nur long motor. seems like its the cheepest option out of the lot.

this sounds rather similar to what i had going on.

oh, and andrew stock pistons do have AA stamped on the top. I've seen AA4 too.

I will try get a look if i get it back before i go away, The auction report says that there is n1 but wether thats true or not.

might get myself one of them boroscope things to have a peek inside.

theres auction report link from years ago. And your comment, i.e. Circuit thrashed sllluuut i think it translates to.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
