I have an embarrasing tale of gaskets... 10 years ago, restoring the 1600, I got a new Nissan gasket. I put it on the body, since that's where the old one had been. Of course, the trunk sat 1/2" up w
And something that I've learned from spending too much time in the junkyard there aren't too many variations on the master cylinder theme. If you're willing to use non- standard lines, only 3 dimensi
Actuate the clutch once or twice. You may have to devise a lever of some sort to move the arm. That'll relieve any tension between the clutch plate and the flywheel/pressure plate sandwich. hth, Toby
As Gordon said- no, and the 4 speed and 5 speed transmissions have significantly different ratios as well. There were alternate ratios available from NISMO, but I have no idea if they're still availa
It might be worth changing the valve guide seals. It can be done with compressed air, or a bit of rope fed into the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Or, if you're not losing more than a quart pe
Ok, purists, avert your eyes; what's the collective wisdom about the CA18DE engine? It looks like it has a decent DOHC head, but with small, long- stroke pistons. It also seems to be in plentiful sup
That works- just make sure you have a really good straightedge to smooth the and then dunk the lump of clay into water and measure the relative displacement. As you say, displacement IS displacement.

I'd bet that would work just finethe hardest part is getting the covers back onto the seats. The covers are almost never attached to the pads by much- usually a few hog rings at most. I've got some S
Also, if it creates a slightly smoother surface, it will reduce the surface boundary layer, and thus drag. Roadster content- while it might look good, this will NOT significantly improve your mpg in
I've used DP over 1790 etch prime, and it works just fine. There's a sealer that you can use over unknown base coats- and I've used DP diluted as a sealer, also with moderate success... the secret s
If it does it in neutral, it's in the gearbox itself. And it doesn't sound like the kind of failure that the transmission will survive for long... sorry, Toby
was what I used in a 2002. I bought 2 of each 'style' and compared them.... frankly, there's very little difference. The more expensive version was a little brighter (but not much) and the ones with
in theory, you're rightbolt 'em on and go. If it's a fresh motor, I'd richen the mix just a bit until it breaks in- just to be safe. I've had good luck with the 'high cylinder pressure' break in for
