I took the volvo out last nite to go to the shops and as bad luck would have it my secondaries (the big barrels on the carb) decided to clog up just before a white R33 tried to have a go with me. I might as well have raced a datsun 120Y I still would have lost, the car was coughing and spluttering so much. Up till then that evening it was running mint.

I'll have to wait to fix the secondaries as the wife doesn't want me taking the car off the road for a while.

Cam,

the secondaries are probably clogged, I recently rebuilt the carb with a kit and sometimes little bits of casket sealant can fall into the needle holes, should be easy to clean. The other problem is the vacume diaphram opener is stuffed so you have to 'feed' the throttle or it bogs down (not a big problem for me tho').

BOV wise , I can call past after work on the way home or this evening after dinner?

    • Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...
    • 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.
