    Nismo clutch

    The clutch plate has some material left on it but it's cracked, it looks to me as if its been slipped or slipping a lot. It takes some proper heat to make the metal go blue/rainbow like that. In short (and i could be wrong) it's been cooked.

    2 Days 2 Smashed cars

    Sorry to hear about all these crashes but it is getting towards the worst time for it. Black ice has had me twice in the past but heve never done any real damage lucky for me. The worst was my clio when the back snapped out on a corner and hit the curb bending the rear stub axle, it has made...

    Bushes and drums

    Ok mate theres 3 main parts:- brake cylinder.... this is the bit with the bleed nipple that you would need to change if you snapped the nipple Shoes Drum..... if you change this then you may aswell change the lot, usually there is a ring of rust where the shoes dont make contact and it...

    MA10 turbo?

    Lamo i didn't say i wasn't crazy though:laugh: my final decision to go ahead was made today on the way to work when a gust of headwind knocked 10mph off my speed.... needs more get-up-and-go (i think most of it's got up and gone):glance:

    MA10 turbo?

    I said knock it back 5 degrees:grinning: As in if the standard setting is 8°BTDC i would try it at 3 keeping the vac advance in place if i could... i will no doubt have problems with this conversion because if it was easy everyone would do it, I am good at problem solving though... not as...

    correct plugs?

    Halfords overcharge for things like this and will try to sell you what they have in rather than ordering in whats best. Any local motorfactor will be able to get you the NGK plugs that you need (BPR5ES) at a good price, most should have them in stock as i am sure they fit a few older cars...

    MA10 turbo?

    Look out fpr a WIP thread over the winter, picked up a box of bits that will make a MA10 at the weekend...... used to build engines for a living so this looks a straightforward little lump to build compared to say a VM diesel :glance: just going to get the head skimmed and the block...

    ball joint??? or maybe somthing else...u tell me?

    another way is to jack the car up so that 1 of the front wheels is a couple of inches off the ground then shake it left and right then up and down, you will feel if there is any movement in the joints. up-down = bottom balljoint left-right = trackrod end then spin the wheel, fast. If it...

    Arrrrg!! Diesel Oil!

    I use the vauxhall 10/40 semi synthetic.... local motorfactor sells it for about £11 for 5L..... we use it at work so i pay less than that but it is good stuff, modern vauxhalls use it and have a service interval of 20k:upside: I would leave it in for a couple of hundred miles then another...

    MA10 turbo?

    well after talking to a mate who did a simmilar conversion to a nova SR i am wondering weather some type of ecu is required to handle the sparks, he just retarded the timeing and says it was flat as a pancake untill it hit boost.... any ideas are welcome.

    Do you have a micrometer? that would tell you if there was a differance in valve lift.

    MA10 turbo?

    I think about 80 bhp would be nice:laugh: nicely over 100bhp/tonne, its for the new year really (might be changing jobs) but i really want to do this... It would be worth it for the WTF? looks on peoples faces when a dump valve goes off on a K10 Fueling though.... thats what kills most...

    MA10 turbo?

    Fuel- Reconditioned R5 GTTurbo carb on an adaptor plate Sparks- either knock the timing back accross the board (bit of a bodge and would sap power off-boost) or use the boost sensing retard modual from a 5 turbo? That sound decent?:laugh: to be fare its just that the idea...

    MA10 turbo?

    Tonight 1 of my mates offered me a turbo which he believes to me a GT25 or very simmilar, i know Renault5 GTT carbs and recon kits sell for peanuts on fleabay and that the engine has a standard compression of about 9:1. I know there will be more to it than that, mainly the exhaust system...
