After grieving his losses with two separate and substantial share investments, dezz decides to mourn by way of purchasing a severely depreciating asset

Might start my sparky apprenticeship soon

  • Like 2

black is a lot of work. dont recommend unless the fastidious type.

the gloria is a piece of work. i cant even close the bonnet properly withour leaving fingerprints or imperfections.

Only if you give a shit about the sheer phaggotry of having pristine paintwork 100% of the time

it's a work ute / jetski tow rig / depreciating assett

I have a black Xtrail and DGAF

But if you DGAF then it will not look pimping as dezz desires it to be. If it's going to get dirty then just get a colour that still looks good when it's not super clean.

Like that navy blue or dark green Holden do on the VFs.

Also, not all sparkies are well off. A lot are struggling. Not the ones I f**king work with though. True definition of 1st world problems. Fighting over 20mins of travel time and milking jobs for OT even though some of them are lucky to be on the job at all.

Then find out some of them are ex-desal. Not f**king surprised.

it's a car. Cars get dirty. This is life

I've got the skyline on the front lawn at the moment, running just fine.

It's the dodgy evo I bought that is having issues and is up on stands in the garage atm. Was pulling the brembos off the front on Sunday night to swap to new rotors and pads, only to discover that the previous owner or previous-previous owner had munted the thread on the bottom caliper mounting bolt hole.

So there was nothing I could do but slowly and painfully remove the bolt, crying about doing more damage to the caliper.

can confirm "previous-previous owner"

I didn't own it long enough to change pads lol

You strike me as someone who buys new vinyls at the record store and doesn't listen to them because by the time you get home they've already been out for too long

over the years I bought a LOT of records that I never played

Well... this is the current state of the passenger front rotor, it started making a bit of noise so a few weeks later I eventually decided to change the pads and rotors.

Who can spot the issue?

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
