[will930]

[frank]

[will930]

[frank]

it was on bluey mate, but just for you......... i,ve done it to my current steed
(you can see the clutch cover, and just beyond it the thrust race)

 

[gtsnissanb]

Might wanna get a clip on that hose Frank lol

 

[will930]

humm frank but surely you want it furthur down towards the actual brearing? otherwise you risk oil on the friction plate?

why would i wanna drill it in the wrong place will ffs :suspect:

 

[will930]

heh im just checking... did you use a cone bit on that? or one of them boring bits???

then use some what motobike chain oil in a can with a straw?

a drill then a reamer will, but a cone would be fine eh, and yes chainlube

 

[Scott]

Did you weld the hole up afterwards frank?

 

[will930]

well like me frank has no dusty covers around the gbox so im guessing not....

i will most likely make a small plate to screw over the top

 

[will930]

btw dumb question but isnt a reamer the bit with the drill like bit in the middle and then bigger section around the edge? haha knowing my luck the bit would fall inside

and i could see a cone going into the pressure plate

 

[frank]

well like me frank has no dusty covers around the gbox so im guessing not....

aye extra ventilation eh will, not as big as the gap at the bottom tho

 

[will930]

if that were the case dude might as well have a fully open clutch and fly and just have a couple of brackets haha

 

[r-reg-sr]

Might wanna get a clip on that hose Frank lol

frank tells the pipe not to move, and so it listens:grinning:

 

[will930]

right i am getting fed up with this god damn car!!!!!!!! i simply dont want it anymore... i think the g/box is on its way out at the input shaft bearings which would suggest its noise is loud etc and its getting louder even with the clutch depressed

which could suggest the noise when im foinf along as it sounds like straight cut gears all the time

so its either put my old gear box back on or get this one sorted or go for something different

maybe some sort of dog box but i dont really have the dosh to do that... and obviously there mainly for the 1.3 box so then id new neew shafts and linkage... light flywheel and a new clutch etc its a mickey take really

if this car doesnt get sorted and run soon im going to scrap the ######

 

[will930]

also another rant... my dash lights have gone haywire again!

fuel comsumption is about 75 miles for £30 quids worth of petrol which is a rip off

i managed to sort the idle out i thought but came back this evening

now its sorted doesnt feel as rapid as it was before

ill be back with more im sure!

 

[will930]

Well itss the input shaft so looks like ill be doing gbox soon! But if its floppin bout ill need to rrecenter clutch wont i?

 

[frank]

you should,nt have to will, and 75mls on £30 is baaaad

 

[will930]

Humm i know and i drive moderately too :-(

 

[r-reg-sr]

check the sensors are in spec
coolant sensor
temp gauge sensor
and i got a few here you could try and a lamda ho too

 

[will930]

weel coolant gauge is fine if im honest but to check the rest id need a multimeter

 

[will930]

this car is doing my head in i just dont want to drive it lol

 

[will930]

well im going to need a new gear box any one have one? my other one was left out in the rain and is a mess and has a potential hole in it!!!!!!!!!!!

what options do i have???????????

 

[r-reg-sr]

your share option

this one
http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/43842-gearbox-options

 

[will930]

well its been confirmed that the g/box is on its way out so ill be picking up the new box on wednesday to fit next week at some point

on a plus side hes going to run the consult software through to find any problems which could be causing my poor consumption

however on the plus side i fitted my amp and sub yesterday and its pretty sweet

i followed this simple diagram at the bottom http://www.caraudiohelp.com/how_to_install_a_car_amp/how_to_install_a_car_amp.htm

 

[r-reg-sr]

nice job mate,what box did you settle for?
who is the mystery "he"

 

[will930]

oh poo matt humphries (mph)

so gnna take a day out in oxford with the rents and missus.... its gnna be scrape time in the crappy old micra

 

[r-reg-sr]

cool day out
which crapy micra? youve bought a banged up one yeh?

 

[will930]

Well im talking about my car r reg

The missus wont let me sell it let alone scrap it!

After the gbox is in and economy is sorted im gnna just drive it and not tinker so i have no problems!

 

[will930]

well collected gear box today and all is well, done really good mpg going to oxford and back which im pleased with, low down power seems a little low, but maybe its because the noise from the gb ox putting me off haha

but all is going alright atm will be swapping them on monday hopefully i can manage it in the day haha and i will try my best.... i will also remove the clutch while im there just to check it and run some brake cleaner through it

anyone reckon ill get a little money for the gear box?

also MPH (Mat Humphries) is a very nice bloke showed me around the cars and all the goodies in the store room, felt odd nosing around a main dealer like that haha....

but i will getting a new air filter and spark plugs, and clean the tb again and seal it on with silicone!

 

[will930]

also he reckons that the middle cat will be able to handle the emmissions on its own so sweeeeet

 

[Noddie]

also he reckons that the middle cat will be able to handle the emmissions on its own so sweeeeet

I doubt this tbh. Mine didnt pass with just a middle cat (and it was an sr20 one). I dont think they get hot enough. but good luck.

 

[will930]

I doubt this tbh. Mine didnt pass with just a middle cat (and it was an sr20 one). I dont think they get hot enough. but good luck.

only repeating what he told me, he said providing the engine is running right it will be fine, im still going to swap to the 1st cat just encase...

 

[Scott]

Yeah passsing with only one cat is possible. My brothers pulsar passed fine with only one

 

[will930]

well the garage im going to will pass me as ill give them a discount on bodywork, even if they do fail it, i get 2 weeks to correct it

 

[will930]

right monday is the day i hope the weather stays good going to have a small clean up and get busy with matt black hehe

but what is the honest back way to get the g/box in line

like lifting it up
jacking it up
lifting from above

i thinking get it inline twist till spline joins friction plate and then twist till it goes onto the dowels?

 

[will930]

anybody?

well heres a couple of pics of the new gear box it does look mint he even showed me the engine it came from which also looked mint indeed with a note on it saying do not remove any parts from this engine... then he can do a straight swap hehe

only just took it out my boot today haha... havent really been using my car as i simply dont want to drive it lol

 

[Stani1029]

not sure thats the correct gearbox mate.....you get it off a facelift?? and the facelift ones might be a straight fit. its defo different from the usual preface cg10/cg13 boxes

 

[frank]

its a preface 1.0 one eh, and dont try and fit it with 3 locating dowels in will

 

[will930]

its frpm a pre facelift cg10 apparently which is wt i want

 

[will930]

its a preface 1.0 one eh, and dont try and fit it with 3 locating dowels in will

why not?

is it because theres only two in total? lol

 

[will930]
