  1. failed a WOF today for rear brakes not working properly, C33 laurel, rear disc brake with separate handbrake Put it on the rollers, they are working, but not very well. Brake pads about halfish worn. The master cylinder has been changed within last 6 months, previous melted from engine fire. Re bled rear brakes and got no change. Could it be wrong master cylinder? Maybe new brake pads might improve them? any ideas before i start spending money Thanks in advance
  2. id say so. Broadway electrical in Palmerston North send them off to Auckland somewhere to get recalibrated, maybe give them a call? I think it cost about $90
  3. Anyone know of a similar product to POR15? But cheaper?
  4. Hi just thought id see if anyone clued up on nissans could help me? My C33 laurel engine loom had a melt down (RB20e) Will i be able to take one from a R32 skyline or a31 Cefiro? or something else? also running RB20e Thanks in advance
  5. Thought I would chuck up a new thread, as the old one shit itself Had the Carina for a few years now, Nothing much has changed, a few wheel swaps, general maintenance and a touch of low. Smelly 1500cc 3AU Automatic Sigma steels Terrible cellphone pics Future plans: Fit fender mirrors (someone took factory ones off) Bigger dia wheels Maybe manual (probably not) Remove the emissions crap That is all
  6. I think you will find vacuum tubes in that radio..
  7. Then mine, Stuffed my project thread up, lost pics etc. Will try dig some old pics out. Good to see it back on here
  8. hey, who is the local engineer that widens rims? Cheers
  9. For future reference, its was the valve stem seals, Easy job, even without removing head.
  10. Ive been told a compression test isn't going to tell me alot, as it would be the oil control rings worn, and they wouldnt affect the compression much?
  11. The turbo was rebuilt by AutoKraft in Palmy, so Im crossing my fingers thats its valve stem seals (supposibly you can change them with head still on) I have a 10w40 Caltex oil in it.
  12. After a bit of help in regards to whats causing it to smoke, its in a 97 GSR lancer I get blue smoke from the exhaust after it has been idling for a few minutes and i go to take off. No smoke when idling, only when you touch the accelerator , Doesn't smoke when your up and running , and short stops and starts (traffic lights etc) Have done a oil flush and change + filter Turbo has been serviced so its not that Im thinking Rings or valve stem seals? Any help/known problems or further testing suggestions I could try would be great Thanks in advance
