just realised i never started one of these.
Had the car for about a year now,when i bought the car i had quite a few problem ,some that are still being set right now,but i bought the car with the intention of it being a project so its all good.
first thing got the car home to realise it was misfiring badly had to go back to southampton,but they picked it up on a flat bed and sorted the problem for me free of charge ,as they should.
took it to jez at horsham after that for an allignment check to find out it was running 7.5 degree neg camber on the rear and 4 on the front:wack: and both the front lower arms and steering arms were bent.
so we ordered new ones from nissan japan waited about 2 months for them to then turn around and say they no longer produce the steering arms and the lower arms would be another month or so! so jez got onto a couple of other places and ended up having to get tein steering arms from the states(another 4 weeks) eventually they came ,in the mean time i got a full set of adjustable allignment arms(apex) and a forge recirc to have fitted when it was there.
about 6 months had passed in this time so i got it serviced while it was there and had colder plugs fitted too.
It drove much better with this lot fitted but then i found out it had a 2 way(going round a roundabout in the wet:wack
so i got onto garage d and they said they had a helical and did a straight swap for my diff plus knocked of an hour labour too, took it to have that fitted (supposed to take 6 hours) they ended up keeping the car for 3 days! turned out the diff and shafts were from a skyline so not the straight forward job they thought it would be,then when they took it out to "test drive" the car the front drivers shock fell off:annoyed: they sorted it all out for me though and the car drove alot better but i thought the gears were too long , so had polo check it over and it turned out to be a 3:9 ratio so i have now bought a skyline 37:9 (4:11 ratio) diff with shafts.
sorry for the essay lol had loads of stuff happened with this car these are just the worst bits ,!! Good thing is it helped keeping the mileage down! should have started this ages ago and spaced it out a little bit... have loads of litle bits for it spec is ....
