best bet, talk to Jetwreck as he has sorted through these problems for someone at least once before.

mmm.. Nagoya...

Have you changed your aircon filter (in the passenger footwell behind glove box) I pulled one out for someone and it was marked that it was changed 2 years prior at 70k. Only thing was the car was purchased in Oz with 42k 2 years prior.... the plot thickened.

So that sticker has the km it was changed at or the km to change it next?

Penrite also make a compatible oil for matic J which is full synthetic.

I payed closer attention today when I put the car into Drive... The clunking seems to come from the rear.. Obviously the diff has backlash.. BUT the car lurches Forward when it does into Drive.

Sound strange?

I'll so a service on the box, I'll use penrite 100% synthetic, it is matic J compatible.. Dno what you guys think of penrite, but I even use it to oil my BBQ.. (Jokes right)

Is the filter a gauze type? So it is serviceable, no need for replacing?

Checked out the AC filter... no date or anything on it.

slightly off topic

found this behind the glove box

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
