Sounds like a typical high port motor to me...LOL!
Sounds that way because there are no baffles inside the rocker cover.
Mine is so bad that sometimes the detonation sensor picks it up on the Power FC and the MIL flashes like crazy...LOL!
The intake manifold also doesn't help matters, but who cares...turn the stereo up more and it goes away!

but they all get replaced with (black) poly equivilents

Did you change the shifter bushings without removing the rear engine mount? i tried to do mine but i coulnt get it off cos it wouldnt clear the mount.
sure did it wont if you just try and un-do the 14mm nut you can see, theres two 12mm nuts on top that you need to un-do which drops the whole bar down
Ive loosened them in this picture the bar has dropped down, arrows indicate where they are,
move the shifter linkage out the way make it a bit easier as its pretty tight in there, also if you can remove the whole stabilising bar its incredibly difficult to get it all bolted back together under the car once you have put the bushing in, struggled for about 2 hours under the car trying..... removed the bar and it took me 5 minutes including walking to the garage and bolting it in the vice

I did try and undo those two nuts but they didnt budge, i'll have a go again sunday, try and fit my solid shifter bracket at the same time

do it whilst the engines outyeah nice job sam, them bushes do look good,
do you need to remove the exhaust?
im with you on that joe, where did you get them from?
no need to remove the exhaust just undo the heatshield and push it back out the way
Il take it for a drive tomorrow and report back, feels sweet already though
feels good
just put some MT90 in aswell, car has started sounding like a tractor though......
Flexi hose on the downpipe will be blowing, I had mine replaced a year or two back
A big white box appeared at my door monday morning at 8.10am
It was empty
Naaaaat :lol:
JWT 9lb Flywheel
JWT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate
B15 Disc
Alignment tool, gearbox seals, both crank seals and an OEM throwout bearing and clips
Thus completing the GSpec Stage 3 Clutch Kit
I lost my camera then during the dismantling stage found it at the remantling stage.
Everything out
Nissans new engine technology "Special Greg" :lol:
Flywheel all torqued up, but wait whats that on the floor....? :roll:
flywheel off and back on again..
Clutch all bolted up
and then amazingly I lost my camera again.... later found it on the fuel rail :roll:
How I left it whilst asking the question about the mysterious bolt
but I now have a horrible grinding/bearing type noise which is quite a racket with some whining in 3rd and 4th gear, coupled with clunks at low speed, and experienced some bucking on the motorway earlier like loss of power bucking any ideas???
Ive checked over everything 3-4 times shafts are in properly as far as I can tell.... think the diff may have lunched it
