well I see why they call its a UFO valve.

Is it just me or do the first set of pics make it look like a scale model? Lookin forward to see where this ends up.

the socket size is 13/16ths

This actually makes a huge difference. Always have to mess around with the old search feature and even then it didn't give the best results. Thanks

Hey got around to it today and everything seems to have worked out. Only thing was the sensor wouldn't go all the way back in. I suspect there's a bunch of old teflon tape in there. This led me to believe there was too much on the thread the first time I tried putting it back in and when I took...

Wow that easy eh? Will pick up some of that tape tomorrow and post back with results. Funny how something so simple can make such a mess if it isn't taken care of. Thanks for your help porkpie. Oh by the way, if I go pulling it out with an engine full of oil can I expect similar results as if...

Hey my K10 has had this an oil leak since I bought it. I always thought it was from the exhaust as I never was able to get a good look. However today I was feeling around and I think I've discovered the real source of the leak. It's almost impossible to see it looking down into the bay, but I...

Finally replaced my filthy air filter. Anyone know if an abnormally dirty filter could cause the same symptoms as having an overly rich fuel mixture?

This thread is soo confusing. From Canada and have never heard the term "caught out" used like this. Seems to be something along the lines of cars that have a bit of cosmetic damage and are out on the road? But then that doesn't seem right as some don't have any damage. Can someone help me...

Was replacing the plugs and found them all very black. One even had a bit of oil in the gap between the threads and the part that sparks. Ordered a gasket for the valve cover. Also was thinking about playing around with the fuel mixture.

Hmm I believe I have seen some similar to the pics you posted, but can't be too sure as I was fairly wasted at the time. Thought it had a few more vertical slats almost like a waffle pattern, though I could defo be mistaken. Found it interesting because on the back of the car it had Datsun on...

When I first got my micra I looked around a lot on this forum and never saw another one with the same grill as mine so I was all stoked thinking its rare or something. After having it for a bit I started to see all the ones around here and realized it is just the canadian spec you guys are...

Yeah the connectors on mine look the same - same number of wires and colour of wires. Is that the only difference that matters between the EGR carb and the other one?

Here are some more pictures of the carb.

Sent in a request for better quality images of each part. Hopefully I'll be able to post them sometime in the near future...
