  1. Ah, I spent about 2 hours driving around Montreal collecting small hardware parts to finish off the slide pin rebuild in the rear disc. I found that I was missing the anti-rattle clips and the rubber boots were torn. Both found and to be installed tomorrow at lunch!

  2. Since the cruise and headlight switch are in the same stalk and that the wires are routed funny around the column I would suspect that they were routed in a different way or maybe that a wire was pinched on re-installation. Since just a #2 phillips will get all of the panels off I suggest you take a look and see if anything is amiss under there. A pinched wire is obvious, maybe a light tug on the ignition wires to ensure that they are well attached? Other than that I cannot help... maybe someone else can??

  3. Don't bother trying to weld aluminum without the correct sheilding gas. It won't work as the elements in the aluminum will instantaneously combine with the nitrogen and oxygen in the air and create pores in the heated material. The pores are not themselves atached to each other.

  4. I believe that is a whole sender assembly. The pump and internal hoses and clamps are not a part of the assembly from what I've read here and seen. Parts guys still have a bit of a time trying to figure out what sender goes with what pump! Take a look at aaanissanparts.com for FSM pictures.

  5. Today I re-installedmy manual hubs after a dinkle-puss pissed off with four of the six bolts that held the driver's side hub on. I took about two hours of phone work anddriving around last night to no avail and ended up taking a whole new set of bolts from work.

  6. Thanks guys, I didn't really give the pin a chance Friday but i showed up late aaaand everthing else went downhill from there. I'll be getting a triangular file and PB Blaster at Canadian Tire later today and take another run at the pin.

  7. Beat on the driver's side rear cailper for 35 minutes with heat and wd40. Caliper is stuck to the inside and not even the little 4lb hammer I have can move the thing....sooo pulled the old pads off of the right side and stuffed one in the left and put in three new pads. And once again I hate salt more than anything else on planet earth right now.... Quebec....dammit.

  8. My bad was assuming that the timing marks were 3 degrees each.... they are, as I have been told, 5 degrees each. And now my fuel consumption has gone down about 5 percent. Yay for NPORA and the gentle-folk on here. Word to the Precise 1. Adamzan and Don my homie at the dealership!!

     

    Thanks guys!

  9. Sweet! Thanks for the information..... I didn't see that ajustable shock while I was down there but there is a switch behind the handbrake. LSD could be fun during the spring. I currently have some cheap-ass tires in a 265-75-15 on the truck but they are on stocck steelies, not alloy rims.... but check on everything else. Sunroof, power windows, door locks, mirrors, Grant Challenger steering wheel :lmao: and the dual trip odometers... Though that 4 speaker system is now down to one speaker only. I would love to figure out how to bypass the amp and try out the other speakers but that will be for when it gets warmer and there isn't an oil leak, grease coming out of places like the front transfer case or inner cv joint, leaky injectors and funky running engine.... All on the list of things to fix.

     

  10. There should be a thread started called "Guess That Noise"  I'm sure there is a lot of questions about odd sounds out there. For a week I have been shaking the exhaust trying to pin down the location of a vibration noise in the rear when I am shifting gears....ehhh  that's for another thread

    I hear that one and I found it was the exhaust just about an inch after it hops over the rear axle. Mine is rattling on the shock upper body tube. It's damn near impossible to see there.

  11. I installed a Grant steering wheel; the Classic Series Challenger (because it remindes me of Vanishing Point). Super easy mod, and done because the original was too far away from me to be comfortable and covered half the dash. I have not yet figured out how to get the self-cancelling turn singals back to working but I am thinking about it.

     

    The original steering wheel had been chemically abused and the surface is no longer attached to the steel ring. And it was disgusting to look at. (Fiancee's comment!!)
