When rebuilding after removal, I use either a normal nut, and spin on with fingers and then just tighten last few flats, or in have used genuine Nissan nuts which are a spanner size smaller than the norm for that thread diameter 12mm vs 13mm as norm iirc. Only issue witj genuine Nissan ones is that ...

Really RR you do spout utter bollox sometimes! With all the bent spanners at my disposal, plus some I modifed with oxy flame, 'that' nut is always a pain, especially if the manifolds not been off since leaving the factory. Copious soaking with proper penetrating liquid (not WD40 or AJL will start to...

There's a how to on here somewhere that I did iirc along with pics of the spanners I modified. Also some pics on my old SST project thread too 're turbo removal iirc. The bastard nut is the crux, remove that and life's a whole lot easier! The elbow can be done either way, I've done both leaving on d...

Bloody hell Mike arent you getting arty with your photos?? :lol: either that or you haven't sussed the zoom function and can't get the whole car in the frame... :lol: Great work by all the volunteers again this year, sore throats and feet all round no doubt, offset only slightly by caffeine and cake...

Nor do I really, hence the 1st option is attendance, to enjoy the plaudits of your peers, secondly if circumstances dictate you cannot attend (as opposed to not being bothered) then arrangement via scimitarians or at 1st event of 2019, and as last resort postage and I'd suggest at recipients cost (s...

To be fair, my poibt was, i think a few wish to attend, but cost either in time or fuel, makes it difficult to justify. Historically when there are no issues, compies tend not to bother, so the fact that people are less inclined suggests things are OK or they would make the effort to attend to chang...

The lack of interest in attendance does seem to produce 2 thoughts:- Firstly Peter and Mike are doing a good job and most are almost universally happy with the SSSC offering, or theyd be ready to travel, attend a DM and make changes Secondly, why not save the costs for all (hire of room, travel etc)...

I have no plans to, having attended all? in the last 20 yrs, either as competitor or club official or both, I'm sure you boys can manage without me :lol: For the record i plan on competing next season, with SSSC/CM series but the handicap scoring system of either SSSC or CM favours the mildly modifi...

Welcome

That you have BC, that you have

Great work Brian chassis doesnt look too bad considering the age and abuse it's had, bit like the Coupes

2019 blue book is due anyway?

Faves look like the manifolds been loose or had knackered gaskets and has marked the faces. Just needs linishing smooth

Nice job Geoff

Stick them on eBay and put Dub retro VW in the title and you should get 500 quid Jim. If the were 13s I'd have had them already or Ben wouldve. Lighter than 1 piece by a margin too
