  1. Yeah i think the dude is a little bit sick. He has created around 50 Nissan groups for each car (nissan bluebird, nissan pulsar bla bla).. he doesn't like any other models.. Only Nissans.. so his world IS nissan.
  2. yeah yeah that's the guy.. his 2nd name is Lakshan. Really? I havent gone in his car but what he says is that he has the best pulsar in the country.. well what a f**k up then no wonder he sold his car for a shitty price then.
  3. NO. The FB14 engine comes with Timing chain and not timing belt.
  4. you mean Lakshan's VZR right? He spent a fortune on it to build and then he sold it, I don't understand it man.. Yes i checked the car, its his car... he sold it last year.. @thushanthatjI know the previous owner too he is a friend of mine as far as I know he sold it for a pretty low price and I see this is advertised for a higher price
  5. Nope, was in colombo this weekend. Mine is easier to recognize.. HQ number.
  6. Thought of sharing this valuable information.. specially will be useful for users of old cars... So during my restoration process a part that I had to fix was the gear selector glass as it was broken.. I had two choices, either to replace the entire gear shifter panel which costs around 7k or to find a way to fix the broken glass.. then I found out this place infront of mount lavinia courts, where they completely make a new glass of the gear selector as per the original way, so i gave it a try and they made it exactly as how it was. They do it for any vehicles so if any of you need to fix your gear selector glass, you can get it done from this place. But you need to take the broken sample with you, so they would know the dimensions before making. They only took Rs. 1800 for the job and did it in 2 days. Here is the new one. No one could even figure out this is not the original one right?
  7. thanks boss
  8. Here are few pics of the 1st coat of paint
  9. yakooooo wahahahahahaha
  10. trust me on this mate, if i buy another car i will keep this and buy another... not gonna sell... i wasted too much time, energy and money on this to sell it again
  11. HAHAHA I'm already fed up of washing this well no next plans really.. I've done everything.. want to keep the engine stock and NOT going to lower this because i load the car and go on trips to the hills and can't drive if I lower this more.. so everything is done, and no plans i don't use this car much.. only use this to go on dates, trips and to the salon
  12. yeah cuz my 1st car was a metallic colour, 2nd white, and what's left is black so you know btw the original colour of the previous car was wine red which i changed to white this car will be used by my grand kids also.. thats the plan..
  13. Here are the pics at the end of the car restoration... Couldn't update the blog yet because this time i basically replaced almost a lot of parts and so much to write,,. will update it when i get some free time... didnt do any photoshoot even, just took pics while driving and here you go.. The paint code is DEEP BLACK PEARL btw... Thanks in advance for the compliments
  14. I tried in darley road and panchi but couldnt find this part ?
  15. Guys, in one of my headlights this plastic piece and the rubber part as highlighted in the image below is not there. The bulb is directly fitted to the lamp casing without these. Since the bulbs are H4, I'm guessing the rubber circle and the plastic from many vehicles will fit??.. Anyway at least I'm guessing, these parts in Nissan vehicles will be compatible with any... Does anyone have a broken headlamp which yal don't use, so that I could get that rubber part and the plastic part from that broken headlamp?
  16. After 10 years of use, the air bag sensors and the mechanisms of the airbag deploying in most cars fail and there is nothing you can do about it. Take the car to Ravi and get it checked and he will tell you what to do. Just because the indicator light comes up doesnt mean you have to replace the airbag. most probably you will have to redeploy the existing airbags. It will cost you around a good 10k. Just take the car to Nissan Ravi in Kelaniya. That's the only mechanic I trust.
  17. its called CX-668.. In the tyre itself it is mentioned "low noise"
  18. the tyre shops guys told me that they dont bring the original bridgestone jap tyre anymore because its too pricey, so they import the taiwan one which wares off in just 10k km's.. my previous bridgestone could run only 2 services and it wore off (it was a taiwan one)
  19. They dont bring down the Japanease Bridgestone to SL anymore, its the thaiwan version of Bridgestone they have nowadays!
  20. Bought Nankang for the first time and comparing to Bridgestone, and Westlake there is a huge improvement.. Noise is very less in the highway, and comfort is higher in the Nankang comparing to the other two... Realized the Bridgestone is a shitty tyre after upgrading to Nankang.
  21. Quick  question guys... whats the pressure amount I should pump to my tyres? The guy pumped upto 33 of nitrogen in all 4 tyres for the Nankangs.. he said if i dont put 35 the tyres will be worn out soon.. as i remember in my previous preseas i pumped 30.. is this statement true?

      35 sounds bit too much for a car. Btw i thought you were gonna get Michelin tyres

      @alpha17 If im not wrong, the tyre pressure is mentioned in kpa in all JDM vehicles

      I was going to get michelling for my credit card (under installments), and when i went to D*MO to purchase, they said michellin stock is over and will not arrive for a month and then  the  offer wont be there, so had to go with Nankang, but the nankang is superb, its a huge transformation from bridgestone... very less road noise and higher comfort that bridgestone

      @Magnum sorry mate.lack of experience?

  22. Happy new year to you all
  23. ah i thought you call that long pole that connects the two tyres are called the axle in the rear as well? the entire rear suspension kit was replaced along with this long pole as it came together after replacing this automatically an ABS issue in the car was also fixed, (didnt have to spend additionally on breakliners and racers as well as everything came with it) so it was a win for me
  24. replaced the rear axle of the presea and replaced the tires with Nankang... feels like heaven (roadnoise is really low) and such a compy set of tires... the project is almost coming to and end by the end of next week.. so much to include in the blog as well.. this time every worn out part was replaced the the project was huge.. will update the blog soon..
