Trevor

Just read your blog....looks like you had a great time there. One of my favourite tracks but never had the nerve (or the right car) to take around it but love visiting the circuit to watch various race events. Great to see Moff out there after the accident, was she running better than before? any mods to do for the future after shaking her down?

Hi Rod Does sound like a deep rattle...see how the flush works and let us know the result. As for replacement, should be able to do it in situ but may be a bit tight. Again, let us know how it all goes but if it isn't tappet rattle then I wouldn't delay doing the camchain as this is a common failure on some Nissans

Hi Graeme.....welcome to the Forum That's very unfortunate, especially as you say it was below the maximum wade height...surely it should be able to handle that type of activity as it is sold as a Utility vehicle? Keep us informed on how you get on with it all Cheers, Trevor

Hi Rod....welcome to the Forum I know what you mean about dealer prices and never buy any parts from them over all the years, especially as you can get parts of equal quality for a fraction of the price. Are you sure it is a hydraulic tappet and not timing chain/belt tensioner or associated components. I would usually just run a flush through the engine to clean out any oilways that may be sludged up and then put a quality oil back in...usually does the job. Let us know what you find Cheers, Trevor

Hi Andrew....Have answered your question in the introduction post

Hi Fred....welcome to the Forum Sorry, can't shed much light on your query but I would certainly entertain aftermarket wheels for winter use, cheaper if damaged and need to be replaced. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Alysia....welcome to the Forum Any one of those should work but also try http://www.iceboxauto.com/ as they can supply cameras that work with the system. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Steve.....welcome to the Forum Great looking car, and now very rare! Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi...and welcome to the Forum Very rare car indeed ! Good to have you onboard

Hi....welcome to the Forum There are plenty of OBDII readers on eBay but very few of them will read Nissan diagnostics beyond a code read unfortunately. I struggled to find one for my XTrail and ended up using my Snap On Scanner on it as it was the only one with enough coverage....maybe worth looking for a secondhand one? Let us know if you do find anything out there Cheers, Trevor

You could run a trickle charger to it while it is still connected

I'm sure there is another post on this forum regarding a similar fault....worth a search to see if any useful information. Otherwise, there would be some sort of filter in the pickup pump that may block or allow air to enter the system

Hi Jay....welcome to the Forum R34 is a superb car....feel free to post up some piccys if you like. Good to have you onboard Cheers Trevor

Hi....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

There could be several issues affecting the power supply to the pump, system relay, crank sensor, immobiliser, fuel cut off valve, fuel pressure switch to name but a few. Probably best to run a diagnostic on the other systems to see if any live data reveals an issue. Also, worth checking all earth straps as these can be problematic on Nissans

It would be worth separating the keys as they can corrupt if on the same keyring. Also, if you constantly press the button away from the car, this can also roll the code on and the car has to relearn the code to start up. Battery life can be diminished by a faulty fob or just cheap batteries, so worth checking but if both fobs don't work then I would imagine it to be a fault with the car instead. Sometimes on some Nissans, the buttons break off the circuit boards inside the fob and you can get a repair kit for this on eBay.

Not sure if you can use a bent screwdriver tip and some pliers to extract it as it should be on a detent which stops it from pulling out ordinarily. Just needs a little bit more force I'd say. You could delete out the previous photos and use compression software for all new ones, that should solve the issue

Looking forward to seeing how you're getting on with it all

I have had some in the past and quite honestly they do look quite cheap....maybe try some UK manufactured or OE ones...big difference!

Maybe worth roughing up the edges slightly with sandpaper to key it up and then try something like Araldite

Hi....and welcome to the Forum Cheers Trevor

Certainly looks the business....gives it nice clean lines now

Not sure about where to source a new button but can you post up a picture of the broken one so we can see if there is a fix you can do

Hi....welcome to the Forum Probably best to post up any issues as they occur and we'll do our best to answer them Cheers, Trevor

They certainly do make a difference, not only to the turbulence and also the noise levels. Looking forward to seeing how they look on the car.
