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 :) )

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
