Hi all, My fuel damper has started ticking/throbbing, its an audible tack, tack, tack kind of noise. It's the one at the back under the Plenum. Now the questions: Do I need to replace it ? Is it a major issue waiting to happen ? How much are they ? Thanks in advance

Not that it makes any difference, Nissan quoted me for the Platinum plugs (they are the recommended type) when I inquired about a Nissan P3 at the dealers fyi £260 plus the plugs

Fingers crossed i'm wrong, but have always wondered if the constant heating and cooling of the cast aluminium would be an issue, could always have been a flaw in the cast that was never detected. Good luck with the tests

If you look closely, around the top of the bolthole. It looks like the plenum is cracked, that could cause a capillary action and allow the oil to seep up and out. If you take that off, be prepared to replace it as torquing it down could finish it off.

Order a non painted brushed finish, rough it up with some 400's wet and dry, etch prime it, prime it and then paint gloss black with a rattle can (or ultra careful with a fine brush set) Once dry, dremmel out the lettering and paint your colour of choice

No worries, i'd have considered Mirrors Edge always liked the demo and never bought it ?!? If you don't shift them let me know, can always do a bank transfer

What PS4 games ? I'll give you £12 each Seriously though, what games ? I may take them off your hands for the £21 via paypal

Love: 1. Summer with the top down 2. The looks/attention it grabs, still looks great for an old girl 3. Low down grunt 4. V6, who doesn't ? 5. These forums Hate: 1. Winter driving, too cold for the top down 2. Headlight washers 3. Quirky sounds that fill you with sheer panic 4. Too much choice for mods, can never decide what to do. 5. The Mrs kicking off about fuel costs compared to the Ka !?!

Sweet jesus, just googled those splitfire coil packs, those are mega cheap...... Can't wait for mine to fail

Perhaps a personal tutor, fully private 1 to 1 tuition ?

And expensive...

No worries, hope you have better luck this time

Get something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/DOUBLE-SIDED-ACRYLIC-ULTRA-metres-x/dp/B00H4F7PB6/ref=sr_1_45?ie=UTF8&qid=1481828947&sr=8-45&keywords=double+sided+tape To re-fit: Start the car and go for a 20 minute drive, get it warm. Then: I'd peel them off carefully, remove the old tape from them with a single sided blade (cut towards your chum not your thumb) once removed, clean any residue with white spirits. Then while they are off, rub down all the sharp edges with 600 wet and dry paper (use it dry) then wipe down again with the spirit. Next apply the fresh tape and trim with the blade if needed. With the backing on, dry fit and bend to shape where needed so they stay in place/shape without the tape holding them. Next, clean the vent with the spirit, dry off with a microfiber (don't just let it flash off) peel the backing tape and apply to the vent starting at the bottom and firmly press into place. Wipe over with the spirit to remove greasy paw prints, then fire the car up again and go for a drive, get some heat through the vents and see how they are. Take the microfiber with you to apply pressure if they lift a little. If they don't, then you can sit back and admire your work

Persistent little thing ain't ya.....

Ouch ! cost more to service a watch than a Z ?!? Mental.

You want to get yourself one of those Casio calculator watches, proper kit them ! Within budget too

Hello and welcome to the best color owners club

Yeah the edges are a little sharp, that's why I suggested knocking them off with a bit of 600's paper, better and easier to do before fitting

Yeah all bookmarked up. Lock or delete if you like mods

Thanks mate, did a search for Bulbs but didn't find those....

Bonus pic of them fitted

photo tommorow then As requested, sorry for the delay Also, did Nissan weld the bleeding golfballs on ?? Had to wreck it getting it off, good job I read the guide to clamp the shaft as they were tight. Had to use plumbers wrench to twist it off !!

Just wondering, is there a complete list of all the bulbs ? ie: size, style etc Thinking of doing an LED swap on interior and the rear number plate lights. Also, any pitfalls to look out for ? Blowing fuses etc Thanks in advance

No, no instructions. Im just fussy and if metal has been cut to shape I always knock the sharp edges off. Did you scrub the vents before drying ? Got to ensure there is no product or whatever on them. Also, if it was a cold day, I would run your car for a while get it warm and put some heat through those vents will help the tape to adhere.
