It's something along the lines of this:

Looks like an Australian colloquialism the term "rotor button"

 

[Snikty]

Hahah, wow sorry guys...not sure what you call em. This is what I'm talking about, need one to suit the ST...found a suitable dizzy cap just need the rotor button (do you guys use the term dizzy cap??). Now I'm gonna be paranoid about eveything I say This is what I'm talkin about....

Now that's a weird looking Rotor....button

Any names or numbers on the part you're replacing?

colloquialism

a whadda? :laugh:

I think its the same as a 1.5 cherry turbo, either that or a bluebird 1.8

 

[Snikty]

Thanks so much, Ed.

Don't think we got cherry turbos over here but shouldn't be a prob to find a bluebird one. Really appreciate the quick response

 

[Micra 110]

It's not the same according to this site http://www2.qha.com/catalogues/ZC1-01.pdf

the cherry turbo was sold in Oz as the Pulsar ET Turbo they use the same E15ET
engine

 

[Micra 110]

righto, they're not very common parts then? I can't seem to find any on the web at this time....

 

[Snikty]

Yes we did get ET Pulsars, that's what we've used for the distributor cap...the rotor must be slightly different...

Thanks for posting that list, Micra110. I've sent it over to my mechanic and hopefully he can work something out. Really appreciate the help.

 

[Micra 110]

A pleasure, glad to be of some assistance

Pm me about this man

 

[Ed]

Post here? I used to get mine from halfords in the UK but they dont do stuff like that any more. I used either a bluebird 1.8 one or a cherry 1.5 one. I cant remember for sure now.

 

[smidge]

hey Ed do you happen to know the engine model/code in the 1.8 bluebird?

 

[Snikty]

If your chasing these parts over here smidge, I used one suitable for an ET pulsar/cherry which is engine code E15ET. Bluebird is a CA18DET.

 

[smidge]

oh okay sweet, so both dizzy cap AND rotor from an ET work.. nice

 

[Snikty]

Originally my mechanic thought he would have to slightly modify the rotor from the ET but when he put it all together he said worked fine with no alteration needed.

 

[jeffers]

hey all. iv replaced my rotor arm now and it was one off a cherry 1.5 turbo.
just thought id let all know for future reference

 

[Ed]

I should charge for all this help I'm giving away recently!!!! lol

all in the spirit of sharing mate... i work in recording studios and i'll tell people anything they want to know about how i do things, just cause i tell them doesn't mean they can do it themselves as easily, fast or particularly, make money from my advice...

Very good point.Yes its very easy to profit from information but this is a club at the end of the day,share our opinions,ideas etc to help other member on the site. . .don't hold back because you think your doing yourself out of a few quid likefwn
Some of the people here get treated like the have contributed nothing to the club even though there paying members and I myself feel like this something.

I take pride in knowing I helped someone(smidge) on the other side of the world get there car as close to the way it was when it left the nissan factory as possible

 

[smidge]

much appreciated barry! its so close mate, now its just a matter of nissan australia getting off their sorry asses and getting me some new parts

i went from knowing absolutely 0 about the way the twincharging system works on my car to knowing which vac line went where without even needing a diagram with a little help from you guys and a lot of research, i'll be happy to help out other people in the same position (which isn't gonna be many eh, these cars aren't exactly common...)
