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 :) )

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
