Any idea on the diameter? I can't take some off to measure because I still need the car to get to work and Google isn't being all that helpful. Id have to guess its like 14mm or something

Did you just replace the rubber length and clamp? Done a bit of googling and can't work out what sort of hose I need, figure I'll just head to Sprint in the morning and grab something that says fuel and high pressure at the right diameter lol

I've found a fuel leak, seems to be when I'm hand priming the pump that it's wettest but still damp after a run. Down at the bottom of these hoses which I presume is the injector pump? Leaks definitely coming from the hoses, probably just the left one but I'll go ahead and replace both of these...

Guys the mechanic I spoke too said the top end of the fuel systems on these can often leak air into the system, presumably causing the hard start. I didn't ask enough questions to know where too look but I presume he's talking about the liftpump/fuel filter rig? Is there anywhere else I should...

Yeah roger that, I'll get on the shops and see about a silicon one and some better clamps, the ones on there look like they're meant for garden hose but until now haven't caused an issue so haven't even considered swapping them out. Say I pull the turbo and spend a bit of time smashing it with...

Thanks guys, So I started tinkering around and ended up taking it to my local mechanic to put air into the actuator and they couldn't get it to budge, so stuck waste gate for sure. BUT, driving home last night it seems to have freed itself up and drove like normal again... Plan is to fiddle...

Hey guys, hoping someone might have some guidance on this one. Monday morning the car started an ran perfectly normally on the way to work and home. The following morning it didn't want to start. It did, but was coughing and ended up stalling out. After I hand primed the filter it started with...

Just wondering because I'm thinking about doing up a box for storage and stuff to replace the back seat, but rarely need to be able to carry my kids in the back. Car has had anchors installed professionally, if I just kept seat belts, clips etc in there would that still be suitable? Can't find...

Mate I know its been a minute since you posted this but if you're still wondering, I've just installed one in my ute to be used as a platform for a roof top tent. It was easy enough to install and very sturdy. The tub on the D22 is a little narrow though so if you want to have it set up higher...

I've done one of these to my ZD30, I managed to get the heat shield back on by cutting away at it right where it was making contact. I was also lucky enough to not snap a stud off in the turbo but dear god were they a pain in the ass to get out. To be fair to them, my kit showed up with...

I recently had some issues with my car and we were leaning towards injector pump, the guys quoted me $2000 installed. This is country town type mechanic shop but the guy I was dealing with used to work for a Nissan service center back when these cars were coming through all the time.

Hey all, was hoping someone would be able to tell me whether or not the drain/fill plugs are the same on the Gearbox and the Transfer case? I suspect mines due for a service, couldn't tell you when it was done last and the gearbox is getting hot even on fairly cool days without anything on...

I bought two of these some time ago and they're awesome if you've got a bottle of drink but god awful for cans since they bounce around so much with weight in them. I stopped using them for cans a week in I think lol

Yeah that makes sense. Car is still with mechanic, they're driving it when they need to go grab bits and pieces and one of the guys is gonna take it home and back so they can check it over a bit longer of a distance. If they don't find any issues by Wednesday I'm gonna grab it and get it home...

Sorry for bringing this back to life but that bit about fuel draining back sounds a lot like what has just happened to my Nav. Started and drove mint for 20-25 minutes on the way to work before dying going up the last bit of hill. Wouldn't come anywhere near starting without some "Start ya...
