Pulled the rocker cover off the SkyHatch this arvo and cleaned out the Gauze filter in there for the Breather.

GM engine doesn't seem to have a PCV valve.

Got a lot of Crudd out of it and the rocker cover, smeared some liquid gasket on either side of the old CORK gasket and reassembled.

I'll get a new gasket soon and have a better go at the same process just for fun.

also... Engine has always had a bit of a Tractorish sound which was a little concerning but meh... She Be Right Mate.

The other day while under the car I noticed the aircon idler pulley looked a little suss so today I pulled it out for a looky see...

It's plastic and obviously something has hit up underneath and Broken it.

So currently there is no A/C belt or pulley but also NO Weird Noises! Sounds totally normal. :laugh:

Just have to source a new pulley before the true summer heat hits.

Edit* Oooh... also put my old Stocker R33 gearknob on for Extra KillerWasps.

It's a bit worn out but feels much nicer than the Original. :thumbsup:

Got my locknuts removed finally and replaced with some fresh ones.

Just purchased some Federal 595's to go on the rims to pass rego on the 34.

Still have a strange clunking noise in the back rear suspension of the 34, sounds like blown suspension to be honest.

Should still pass rego with it though because they don't normally take them for a spin.

Mate I'm probably being real simple here but I'll say it anyway .... coz it did happen,

A few years ago I had a 'clunking' noise in the rear of mine and thought it was suspension, it spent all day in a workshop trying to find the problem. At 4pm they rang me to tell me they have fixed it, they tightened up the jack & wheel brace etc so it didn't knock on the inside of the left guard anymore. I slapped myself around and remained redfaced for a week!! :wacko:

Never located the clunk in the rear of the Micra though. Checked Zaust, Jack, Spare, Shocks, Wheels etc... John McGrath and Nissan couldn't find it either. :/

Meh, she gone now. :)

maybe shock, ball joint, hicas rack or all three Daniel :(

cheery fellow aren't I

How many K's on it ?

Capital steering + suspension will sus it out and give a quote :thumbsup: (and that parts free :) )

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
