You are completely right, my mistake. It was 'cam' angle sensor
so just the optical one in the dizzy
OP
OP
Yeah, just took it apart and put it back together, might have just been an error logged from when i covered up the little hole. No real improvement after tbh, but the car seemed ok before.
Took a little 0-60 vid today, no going to put it up becuase its out of focus and torque steer while holding the wheel and camera made for a rather pathetic vid. I counted around 6-7 seconds (with lots of wheel spin) so should be able to get it down a bit
That sounds very fast to me so im not sure i believe it. What do you guys think? realistic? Il try to get another video up but it will mean getting someone to sit and film the clocks.

It's tricky because I didn't start going as soon as I set the rev's but I think at the beginning the speedo took a little while to catch up so the point that I 'took off' is hard to judge.

Yeah, why not
cos 10 seconds is too long lol, my old 10 could beat that lol, havent see the vid but give yourself more credit than 10 secs
get an ecu talk you can do speed trials on that

Ha, yeah, im pretty sure its a fair bit faster than 10 secondscos 10 seconds is too long lol, my old 10 could beat that lol, havent see the vid but give yourself more credit than 10 secs

Once I win the Euromillions...
So this afternoon and this evening iv been making my adjustable panhard rod.
First i took off the old rod and made a jig from it to aid making of the new one:
Whilst doing this i realised that one end has to fit over a 17mm bolt! silly me assumed that it would be the same as the other side and the same as the thread:S assumptions eh?
so had to turn out one of the bushes:
Then it was a case of welding it all together
And here it is finished! My welds have improved so much with the new tig welder
There is enough adjustment on it for any kind of lowering/raising of the car, the only thing i will be adding is a lock nut to stop the turnbuckle turning once its adjusted.
Just looking forward to fitting it now (Y)
That's fantastic work, Noddie! 100% worth selling them to Micra Maniacs

Today I fitted the helix clutch and a spar gearbox I had, plus my lightened flywheel. Haven't really had chance to test it as the starter motor doesn't seem to work atm. Bump started the car though and it seems very good, flywheel has made a nice difference and the clutch feels fine (lighter if anything, with a smooth engagement). Pics to follow. Tomorrow il try to work out what's going on with the starter motor.

Nah, pretty sure the wiring is ok. I dunno, seems like its jammed, there is current to it because the fuel pumps slows with the extra load. But no sound from the motor I don't think. Il check it over properly tomorrow.you hav,nt left the earth strap off the starter bolt have you ed ?

Dropped the engine today, bloody power steering is tricky, managed to get the fluid everywhere :s
Also damaged one of the gearbox seals as i was getting the drive shafts out so gonna have to give nissan a ring after easter.
All in all, a productive few hours
Had to get my mum to lower the jacks which i held the engine steady, she loves getting involved i think

spent an hour or so cleaning the 'bay with oven cleaner and an alloy wheel brush. worked pretty well, i didnt go mad, just wanted to get rid of the worst of the grime
Also started to swap over the engine pipes and what not, having a bit of trouble with the flywheel bolts, anyone got any good ways to stop the engine turning over?

thats what i always do. works well for me everytime
Nice! Where did you get that dash compartment/cup holder from and is it fixed permanently to the dash or does it sit quite happily there?This arrived a couple of days ago!
came in gray/brown
plastic primer, 2 coats of white, then 4 of laccer(sp). really nice and shiny.
and now i can drink hot chocolate on the move and not get it all over my trousers
p.s, im a man so i obviousely dont drink hot chocolate, i drink manly coffee
Oh, and more importantly, do they fit in Face-Lift K11s?

The car is pretty much back together, running very nice with new cg/cga inlet and injectors there is a slight clicking/tapping sound which i dont remember from before but when i listen through the cam cover it doesnt sound like its coming from there, i kinda sounds like the injector solenoids, at least thats what i hope it is
Bad news is my p/s pump broken so need a new one (if anyone has one for sale please let me know).
Also cut down my shifter, gear changes feel much better but will test is properly when i get back on the road.

someone wanted pics of the conrods, here you go:
Mistery plug if anyone knows what its for??
A couple of progress shots (much more done since just no pics yet
and finally the short shifter i made up, round tube would have been better but that box fitted a treat and its hidden anyway

lol just saying if i had some.
connects to the oil sensor at the back of the block above the oil filter

arrr, thanks!
yeah, but have you see how they have been butchered? they would get stress fractures in no time... £500 odd wasted in 30 mins of filing.

they wernt clearing the cage things around the bottom of the conrods so they were filed down so the bolts would wind in further :S

been doing a few bits and bobs yesterday and today:
made myself a short shifter (seems to work well but not be able to drive the car yet so we'll see
also fitted high flow fuel pump in line, seems to work, very loud! and its taken my fuel pressure up from 2 to 3 bar so not sure if the pressure regulator can handle the extra flow. will see how it runs once the power steering is sorted.
and sorted the IC piping, I was gonna buy new stuff but realised that i have enough already so sorted for free

car is running really well now, slightly richer than before for some reason so feels much better with that little bit of boost im allowing myself for the moment
been having real trouble with it running lean since the new engine/turbo inlet was fitted so after making a bung to pressurise the inlet system i worked out it was the badly made inlet manifold i did a couple of years back :S poor welding/design coming back to bite me in the bum. we live and learn eh. Anyway, fitted stock manifold and injector rail for now, runny lovely. still a very slight leak from inlet system but nothing major.
NB: to those of us running boost, be careful that the plate coving the MAF PCB is properly sealed, i had a big leak from mine.
So today was the MOT, passed emissions fine but there is a fair bit of sill welding to be done, outers are a fail and inner are advisories so might as well do it all now.
and needs a new tyre and a couple of little things.
Spoke to the tester about 'frank style' steel wheels with spun centres, he seemed fine with it so will make a push to finish mine
THE END IS IN SIGHT
(and so much fun driving it to and from the MOT centre!)
