How is the car coming along, any problems with it?

See'ya:burnout:

Nahh not up and runnig yet. Was gonna try and get it up and runnig last nite but mum cranked out the food and the rellies came round and before u know it im stuffed to the gills and half pissed. not really in the mood :P

I think there are some bigger probs but we will see how it goes with fresh plugs and oil first. The oil was synthetic but was black as and gritty too. i dont think its been changed in 15 odd thousand k. Plus on of the sparks was soild and the rest were getting close. the engine does have 210k on it might need some new gaskets too.

U should see the bruise i got from getting that oil filter off. Had to puit my feet on the wall and basically doa superman accross the engine bay to get at it. The block was pushing into my shoulder and left a nice mark.

EW engine with the oil filter on teh firewall side of the block

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
