    Fitting a k11 throttle body........... help please

    Just pulled mine last night.. pretty straightforward... 1. Remove the airbox. One bolt to the right(near where the intake connects to it) holds it to the engine and one underneath that you loosen from the left side holds it to the top of the TB. You have to rock it a bit while pulling straight...

    Petrol pooling in intake manifold?

    Pulled the TB.. cleaned it up with some carb cleaner.. decided to resolder it again, properly this time... had a slight lapse of attention and picked up the soldering iron like i pick up a dremmel... got a nice burn on my fingertip... resoldered, resealed the cover.. going to reinstall tomorrow.

    Petrol pooling in intake manifold?

    Gone down a long list of things.. Yay.. need a new TB :( ...going to try to clean this one up first... Already did the resoldering once before, but that did nothing... I hate modern cars with all their fancy electronics... give me a classic any day! A big ol' truck with enough room to sit beside...

    Petrol pooling in intake manifold?

    So I can pull the whole rail with no problems? I was thinking of the seals in the manifold, but then saw Frank's post... I definately agree with you.. We go through a lot of o-rings on a high pressure pump at work and I just flip them and reinstall.. no problems with the pump.. it's just a lot...

    Petrol pooling in intake manifold?

    If I rock the car slightly it moves like water.. so I am fairly certain It's not oil.. possibly a mix though as it is slightly brown, but it smells of petrol That is what I'm thinking.. the manual says that you must replace the seals when you remove the injectors.. is this strictly neccesary if...

    Petrol pooling in intake manifold?

    I have a 98 GX 1.0 that has been running poorly for some time now(lack of power, running too rich, and hesitating severely under acceleration) Today I had a look down the throttle body while holding the throttle wide open and saw a pool of petrol. I have never seen something like this on an...

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    Cursed the rust and corrosion caused by all the salt used on the roads here.. broke a bolt that holds the front suspension arm on.. half of it came out, the other half is bonded to the rubber, so anytime I turn it, it turns right back the way it was :( Nissan people had to order a new one, so...

    K11 nervous ride on a snow ?

    I've lived in Norway for 4 years now, but I'm originally from Tennessee in the states. No one there knows how to drive in the snow. Even a little frost, and everyone seems to go insane. But it's normal there to only get a light dusting of snow a couple of times a year.

    K11 nervous ride on a snow ?

    I've had no problems with mine in the snow.. but ICE is a different story.. it just won't dig in. My advice to everyone though would be that when it snows, forget your normal driving behavior. Drive your car like it has the traction of a bar of soap in a bath tub. Think several(10-20) seconds...

    Urgently needed: K11 lower suspension arms

    I am urgently in need of a right side lower suspension arm for a 98 3dr k11. I have searched ebay for parts, but unfortunately I can't seem to find anyone willing to ship to Norway, or I can't contact the seller to get information about the parts. I don't see any point in paying £225 here for...

    Poll: Rocker Covers; Painted, Polished, or Brushed?

    I like the idea of the sanded lettering. This looks really nice when done with satin finishes. In regards to the HT leads.. Perhaps something like this may work if you can't actually find affordable leads.. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/heatshrink.php I always love to see...

    Poll: Rocker Covers; Painted, Polished, or Brushed?

    I was thinking of something similar.. but in red/white, or just do brushed even though I know that's very time consuming.

    Poll: Rocker Covers; Painted, Polished, or Brushed?

    Thinking of doing a bit of tidying up in the engine bay and would like to do something with the rocker covers. What are your thoughts on doing covers?
