Hmm, think your finger is pointing vaguely in my direction, tassuperkart! Yes, a lesson, for sure, and the only answer I can give is no answer at all; in 39 years I've never had a prang in any of my cars. Yup, I just didn't expect it to happen. Anyway, I have a heap of stuff to give away in the For ...

Hello again It's been a while, but things are finally coming to a resolve regarding the insurance payout for my car, and I basically need some sort of value, if possible. Basically, it's been a fight between me and the NMRA as to the value of the car. They at first offered market value, which I reje...

Re; buying another body. Yeah, thought about that, but t the moment, lots of things are up in the air, including work - it's boring as hell, and after the prang, figured life is too short to be working in something I'm not enjoying (I mean, the office politics - you really don't want to know). Also ...

Re; insurance I just had third party property insurance. Talked to a lawyer about the money and attention I've spent on it, and that the other guy's insurance will prob just offer the market value, which will not be much. He suggested I have a good case to get some money back, with receipts, etc. An...

My (basic) understanding is that the better quality oils have had more testing, and have more additives included, the latter helping keep the oil in better condition throughout its service life, and helping remove gunk from the engine by suspending it in the oil. I remember the days when old oil wou...

Bog stock N12 (E15 motor), auto, hatchback. I always fill up to the same spot in the fuel pipe. Always. I also always work out the fuel consumption while at the pump, so I can see if it's starting to use more fuel, etc. On the open road, I average 90-100km/h, using on average 6.5lt/100km (best was 5...

Yes, two manuals - a workshop one (official Nissan), and one of the Gregory ones. Both say .28mm. I know it's not crucial to be EXACTLY at .28mm - it's not an F15 jet engine - but I'd like to get as close as possible. The engine is not making any valve noise, btw I'll re-do them, and get it so it's ...

checking valve clearance
Decided to check the valve clearance the other day, and it was such a beautiful day, rather than do it at home, did it in a lovely location. Very pleasant, indeed. As far as using a feeler guage, any suggestions? I did it so it slid in and out, just 'sticking' a little...not smoothly in and out, but...
