Busy day today

[Bry]

Today I managed to underseal the car (was in amazing condition underneath) change the diff and gearbox oil,fit the metal subframe collars, fit new fuel filter and Walbro fuel pump,re-gas the aircon and whilst I had the time listened to the tapping I get sometimes on start up with stethescopes and confimed it's the VVT sprocket (noise comes from the very front of the engine).The metal collars have made the car turn in much better and as a result now drifts very nicely with only a tiny bit of increased noise inside the cabin.
Next jobs will be coolant change/brake fluid change,aux belts and then the fun stuff can start I'll start with adding a front pipe and de-cat to my Nismo system,then I'll fit some decent ARB's,should be close to my birthday then (august) so I'll ask the missus for a front mount I/C
I could go on but you guys get the picture :thumbs:

Didnt take long to get going that What did you use to underseal the car?

Mine has an underseal, which doesnt even diserve that name. I'll be changing suspension soon so thought while i had it up i'd do the arches and parts that are missed under the car, but not sure what to use?

Someone mentioned to me (in the pub ) that you can get a very light silicone based underseal... anyone know what this is? I'd be interested in trying it if it's any good.

I'm very lucky as a very good friend of mine works for Toyota,so all the work I do on my car is at Toyota's.The underseal was toyota's factory underseal and we used two large tins of it sprayed on with the air gun.It was shocking to see how little underseal Nissan put on these cars,it was also amazing to see the condition of the underneath of my car,it looks as though it's been wrapped in clingfilm for most of its life

What all did you spray? Everything? I.e. just point, close your eyes and fire

Ok, reason i'm asking is i'm looking to do this shortly, Anyone any idea if you can get stuff that paints on, and if so what its called?

 

[Bry]

You can get Waxoyl underseal in large tins that can be hand brushed on.Halfrauds sell it

 

[Topper]

I've heard about that stuff, think my dad's car has it on. I'll have a look in Halfrauds, cheers :thumbs:
