get the sherrifs to break the guys arm? theyre usually pretty obliging :D

-D

id rather sort em out at the counter than having to get the sherrifs to put them in a kung fu grip and boot em out the door.... just makes them angrier for nextr time.

must say its pretty entertaining seeing a massive biker getting taken down, and start screaming like an 8 year old girl with a grazed knee at the hands of a small asian sherrif though

How's this.

Brother was driving his n14 pulsar last night. Went through a deep puddle of water and got into his airbox into the engine and blew the motor. One piston is sitting higher then the others and there's a bent conrod. Took the plugs out and u rock the engine and can see water in cylinder 3.

Insurance covers it tho. Damm sr20's

Hydrolock, it happens. Luckily his insurance covers him, always wondered about that

That sounds a bit weird to me. The airbox has a hole on the side for intake, and the box is pretty deep - so it should easily be able to drain out or at worst sit at the bottom. The N14 airbox works opposite to skyline one too - with air coming in the bottom and into the engine through the filter at the top, so I would have thought it would be pretty hard to get hydrolock?

Never had any issues in my N14 - it used to run a pod, gone back to the panel. I drove it through a semi-flood in Melbourne a few years ago when was a foot of water going across the highway - handled it perfectly (was using a pod filter back then).

how do i find the correct KNURL diamater for extended nissan wheel studs, M12x1.25 to suit C34 Stagea ?

I bought 20 "Ichiba-brand" 50mm long studs, came with 13.75 knurl - wont fit

Now ordered 20 more with 12.75 knurl, got to wait another 3 weeks till they arrive to see if they fit.

getting to be too expensive to keep "guessing" the size.

Ive measured a used one today from the rear and it seems to be around 12.5mm knurl diameter....... Im hoping its similar to the ones Ive reordered just now 'cause they are 13yrs old & used?

confused :P

thanks

Ive paid for this second set already, $100 del.

if these dont work will definately try J.I.S. - cheers

oh, I torque them on with a nut rather than bash them on.

got to grab a nut to undo the wheel hub bolt on rear LHS - cant insert new studs due to the parkbrake setup. nut must be 34 or 36mm !!

now I need to see what nissans use 13.75mm knurl - possibly GTR/navara/patrol/"insert Nissan model here"

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
