Yes it is and that's your clutch fork as I said it was in my first post.samgtir said:
If it's loose then it sound like you may have punched or cracked the fork. I'm sure you said you have a new one in there when you changed your clutch?
Taking the engine out is easy. In fact i'm putting an engine back in tomorrow for someone in Southport.
It did have a new fork I got a new one for free from a mate at nissan pity I didnt pay for it or I could have had it done under warranty, ive had to buy a 1.2 clio today as im moving to winchester on the 27th and cant see my r being done by then, a mate has offered my a grand for my motor as it is, im unsure what to do!!!!! thankyou very much for your help at least I know what the problem is.

I'd interprate it as the lower (higher number i.e. -600 is better than -200) the negative vacuum the better.MORF114 said:

Take that advice.Keira said:
The neg vacuum reading is a rough guide line but not writen in stone.
I notice a big change. -300 to -700 when I changed my induction setup from panel filter to Apexi 80mm intake.
If you have conserns, the most reliable test would be cylinder compression.
im sure, instead of just enjoying the bloody things whilst they're working fine, people feel like they're missing out on something if their gtir doesn't have a problem so go looking for them :lol:Braveheart said:
my road car was one of the most reliable cars i've ever owned 8)
i've seen 2 odd failures on sr20's that were smoking their tits off but were holding compression fine, test showed good compression, leak down test, all seemed fine, change of turbo to a known good one, still smoked their tits off, engine came apart, ringland gone
Tbh, even stevie wonder would know if there was an issue with one of the pistons :lol:
If it smokes bad, whether whilst being driven or on idle, theres an issue, if it doesn't theres nothing worth worrying about, alot of them with standard engines will puff a little bit at high rpm on gearchanges these days but they're getting on abit now
If my heartbeat gets up in the bpms im puffing like a good one aswell but that doesn't mean im off down the doctors worrying that i'm about to give up the ghost :lol:This isn't a dig at anyone before any panties get in a twist but it cracks me up tbh to see people pulling out a compression tester and a paper clip to run a fault code everytime theres a slight misfire, puff of smoke, odd noise etc.ect. Stop worrying about it, you'll soon know when something does go wrong :lol:
If the bloody things is driving well, isn't knocking its tits off and doesn't create a carbon footprint the size of chinas where the hell is the problem :lol:

just enjoy
oh, and whilst on the subject (sort of) another thing puzzles me
whats the point in owning something like this and not driving it, I just don't get why some see the need to "tuck it up" and store it in the warm and dry over the winter :der: whats that al about ??
get out and drive, thats what it's for :-D
dont you know they will definately break if they go out in the cold :lol:stevepudney said:
tbh, i dont see why anyone would try to convince themselves that these heaps of shite will ever be seen as a classic. They have no heritage, no place in rallying history and absolutely nothing going for them what-so-ever :lol:

My point being if the rough guide he put up for having good vacumm at such a such - vacuum is obviously a load of bollocks everything in my engine is running sweet as can be very good compression and runs good i have problems with my R, just not in the engine i dont need to look for them.

And who is storing their car up for the winter i think i might of missed something in the post cant see anyone talking about storing their car and not wanting to go out and enjoy driving it ?
My gearbox is ****ed and is getting taken out today and im in summer and dont really get bad cold enough weather to call a season here winter so that rules me out, so who is that aimed at ?

Ahhhh... just breath in that cool air.
There fun and take up as much time as a jigsaw puzzle addiction.
If you have the time, use it and if you treat it like sh1t it will break.
I'm afraid mine will be a pile of spares at the end of it's life and no doubt a source of parts during... ;-)
If your car's performing ok... enjoy it and feed it fluids and parts.... :doh: :shock: :lol:
