if it's all the plugs then its proabably the turbo, but if its less than 4 plugs its probably the rings? I dunno

Hey I just wanna thank you guys for all your info/advice (even tho my car is a nissan xD), I've posted on a few forums before, trying my best to explain what's wrong and I usually get rubbish comments from trolls, so thanks again u guys _b

took her to owens and the guy jacked it up and had a quick poke around then shoved a rattle gun on the top and problem solved! Hopefully she stays tight

sweet, cheers for the info's guys. will be doin this friday _b

hmm it can be done with it in the car but is a bit of faffing around and easier with two people. whereas taking it out will be much easier.

sweeeet. by taking 'it' out do you mean the shock and the spring or just the shock? I do recal a D that the bolt fitted into when changing the springs ...

cheers touge, will I have to take the springs out to line it up? its been ages since I put the springs in and im no mechanic

has a flat spot, looks a little fiddly to put grips on and tighten at the same time :\

cheers, because I'm a noob, I have to ask the question how does one find out if the shock has a magical locating D section without pulling the shock out?

so just shove a rattle gun on it and go hard?

My U12 developed a clunking sound at the front right which turned out to be a loose top hat nut. They're standard shocks with cobra super low springs, how do I stop the inside of the shock turning so that I can tighten the top hat nut? or do I have to remove the shock and spring to do so?

all sorted for now _b

that was the initial cause of the problem, but after replacing the plugs and cleaning the spark-plug wells out no oil has re-appeared yet

I'm pretty sure there's not as much power as there used to be, pulling out into traffic and putting my foot down feels different, there's also this hill with a passing lane that I drive a lot and can usually make it up the hill doing 110km/h in 5th and can even slightly gain speed, now when driving ...

got new leads, had to wait for studylink for some mula. replaced the leads and seems to hav fixed the misfire. However she doesn't seem to have as much power as she used to, especially from 0 to 3000 rpm. is this a timing issue?

cool thanks for the info.

I'll grab a new set of leads 2morrow, hopefully it solves the problem.

Thanks,
Is trying a combination of different leads a bad idea? the set I removed were red 'high performance' leads, the ones I replaced them with are standard black ones which look slightly thinner.


If you unplug one cylinder at a time you should be able to work out which one is causing the ...

Hi guys,
Now I'm no mechanic but know enough about cars to be dangerous.
While my levin is in the shop getting fixed I'm driving around a SSS U12 with an SR20DE. It's recently developed a bad misfire. At first it started off missing every now and then under load at about 2-3000rpm then it quickly ...

cool, ok might go hilux diff, not sure, im picking up the parts 2morrow

cheers

kool cheers guys, hey d1 whats ur mate doing to the rear setup like the diff n that? unfortunately the s14 is a 1 wheel wonder

very nice work man, i'd been following your project for a while and was very impressed, bet it goes hard! whats the curb weight of those kp's? much different to the ae85/86's ? i know they are about 860–940 kg, will be a bit heavier with and SR in there but worth it
