what make is the wing?

I couldn't tell you bud since this came from Japan with her. But seems to be the genuine version anyway (considering the amount of msg's I get of people who want to buy it of me )

Nice work keeping the look, all it needed was a freshen up, well ware !

Thanks you recognize the side skirts? :P

Lovely example of a zenki 14.
Always loved this one.

Thanks
you might as well have seen me in Killarney in case you were up as well

Really like that wing......looks good man!

thanks buddy




On another note:

Next plans:

-spraying and fitting my new front bumper (paint getting matched up as we speak)
-getting a badass alarm (currently researching which one I'm going for)
-getting a nice radio/sound system. I know how that sounds but I do love my music!

and of course:

MANY MANY road trips!!

OH NOES!

what is it with Nessy and the coolant leak problems :S

after all the nice upgrades (new waterpump,new thermostat, new thermostat housing, new fan, refurbished pullyes etc) i have now another coolant leak

was on a spin the other day and my trusty yashio factory gauge suddenly went up to 100 degrees (coolant temp) and when i came back home (was close to my place thank god) i had no coolant left.
put in some coolant, nothing came out and stayed all in until next morning.

drove away again and same happened, heated up very quickly and had not much coolant left.


now i just tested it again (cant jack her up in the driveway atm), water in, all good, turning car on and let it run..... leaking starts.

seems to come from the rad (bottom) directly so did a pic there.

the water seems to come out from the bottom only (inbetween where the rad and metal is, u can see it a bit on the pic)

is that the rad on the way out?
couldnt jack her up so cant see if its a hose but pretty sure its not and coming from the bottom of the rad.

any ideas?

probably go for a new rad now as well ha, yaaay shiny new parts

[hi_im_fil]

Is it a standard rad? They're known for leaking and partially blocking. Go for a new alloy one if you think its the rad. Quick and easy fix/upgrade

[lady89]

yes standard one, matter of time I suppose, I cant remember seeing that poodle thing at the bottom of it (barely visible on the pic) so was wondering if that's the sign now to get a new one

[lady89]

Just ordered a new Alloy rad!
Cant wait to replace the old one, thank god it's an easy job to do as well, stuck in the driveway where I can barely work on a car
But that will be fine!

On another note:

Where can I get Samco hoses or similar ones locally or in Ireland?
Might as well order some and replace the standard ones.

Thinking about it now....the standard parts lasted a good while, considering I did around 10 trackdays in it too :O

Love Nissan
