Nice, I did a gearbox oil change today and surprisingly the 10mm hex key bolt (filler plug) came out with the use of the breaker bar. I really did think I had to fill it through the speedo drive as I've heard that the filler plugs get rusted in
Sounds good man. What difference did you find after changing the box oil?
Thinking of doing mine again to give it the best chance of survival!

The old oil was disgusting and black ? whereas the new was pretty clear ?. I did notice a little bit of improvement in the shifting as it does feel smoother than before.
Ah right that sounds like needed and good result then! Will look into redoing mine soon, thanks

Awesome, let me know how it goes and no problem ?
I would stop it from rusting (is possible and costs less then let a welder do it's job) and be done with it. Outisde, inside. Done.
I would not mind. Rust prevention outside, inside, done. No rusting expected from that place. Secret is to rust prevent all the other places that are up next.
I use Valvoline yellow wax. Sticky stuff, when applied is thin as water, comes out dripping and that works. Searching for waxoyl gave me shining stuff for the paint.
Techically The N/S is. no? 30cm from Suspension mounting?
If not cut flush and plate? anyone done this and what to do with vents?
And i want them nice cause I do love a k11 and want this one to live

I chop them , make a little mudflap for the inner arch and bumper to hang on to ,
Either use the original vent or chop or block one off, then some foam along the bottom as weather protection

Just makes sense, and if you can get some d22 cab vents ect can stop the damp and rust issue factory have, and mount the bumper ect to it

You would still have thst mani?I got very lucky and found a performance exhaust manifold for £30. Its from the Cube Z10 Alpha, only released in Japan around 2000 I think so super super rare!!!
That with the Almera airbox and an exhuast system off a 1.0 litre model, Nissandra is sounding and feeling very zoomy
For comparison - Z10 on the left, stock on the right.

It probably wasn't replaced in a decade or so.
In my old POLO there was still the first fuel filter when I replaced it after 24! years.
Just opened it out of curiosity

I just can not even think of any reason why it looks like it was connected to the oil pump

My K13, Replaced driver's side control arm, part Borg and Beck BCA7132, seems like a crappy control arm, let's see.
The old arm came out easy with a small pry bar and lots of water trapped inside the rear bushing where the bolt sits.. What a crap design.
Two hours to get the front bush in. The rear bush is easy. There's a little pathway on the upper rear mount that lets you just slide the rear bushing into place. But the front bushing didn't want to line up. My mate held a long pry bar (6 feet long) with one end on the ground and pushed the end of the control arm and that did the trick to line it up and get the bolt in.

Today I gotten three free winter tyres, 4mm and better. Semperit Winter Grip 2. Some customer has gotten three different ex lease tyres from a lease company and don't ask me why but here they usually would have let the leasing person drive on with every winter tyre having 4mm profile or more then that.
Currently I have Semperit Winter Grip, where a quick search on reviews those three tyres I have gotten for free do not perform well in dry circumstances. I look forward testing that. The tyres I have right now, perform notably better in wet circumstances and in dry circumstances I usually zig zag them where I can with pleasure and this later Semperit version has more v-groove so that is better for wet circumstances.
Semperit has been a real tyre company and Continental bought it and decided to keep the brand name.
