Ad@mus, Amen to that.
Seriously, this is the best Nissan forum I've ever seen. And it wouldn't be the way it is without all of you guys. It's the users and moderators who make the forum what it is. If I ever need to know something, this is the first place to ask. I feel like here's no room for bullshit and people take you seriously, instead of just pretending to be funny and and trying to piss people off. This is the thin line between Nissanzone.pl and others.
Btw. I have a dilemma. I decided that I should by new oil for the upcoming oil change. There are two options, both of them are on sale at the moment.
1. Nissan 5W-40 KE900-90042 ACEA A3/B4 API SL/CF 29,90€/5L
2. Comma Motorsport 5W-50 ACEA A3/B3 API SL/CF 27,90€/5L + a free 250ml can of injector cleaner
I've tried the first one, but only for about 1,5kkm, because I used it after the overhaul.
So, as the old expression goes, "I'm throwing the ball to the audience." Help me to decide!

Nothing special has happened so far. I eventually ended uo buying a can of Comma 5W-50, just because I haven't tried it already.
Gave the car a proper wash + a TFC treatment last week. Because of all the dust in the air, I should do the whole thing again this week.
Today is the first day of my holiday (yay!!!), so I did some shopping.
40€ from a breaker 60km's from here. There were some available from a local breaker too, but since the owner is an asshole, I won't be doing business with him anymore.
Plans for the rest of the week:
-IF gods aren't against me, I will change the tires. Bought a new set of adapter rings for the TN3's.
-Replace the brake booster and it's vacuum hoses
-Pick up some interior parts. I have to borrow a trailer from my dad, so it takes a little planning.

Done.
The difference is like night and day.

Did a little shopping yesterday. Got some small parts that I've been needing for a long time, but never had the time or the money to get them.
The ventilator has a valve that is sealed by some kind of plastic foam. The actual foam had perished some time during its life. This caused an unpleasant effect of cold air blowing straight to your face in the winter. I swapped both of the nozzles and that seems to fix the problem.
Next, as a teaser of what is going to happen in the future:
Out with the old.
In with the new.

The saga continues.
Last saturday I had some time to work a bit more with the interior. The donor car was a 1998 WP11 Si, so it had mechanical rear window lifters. I don't fancy the idea of having excess holes on my rear doors, so I thought it's time for a little DIY.
I carefully removed the cloths from the Si door cards. After that I machine washed them with a 30'C quick wash program and let them dry completely.
I purchased a 250ml can of BISON TIX contact glue. Good stuff, easy to apply, dries fast, but smells terrible.
It came with a applying tool.
Here you can see the original door card with the washed Si cloth.
The original cloth came off even more easily. I wonder if it was ever glued properly... Anyway, in this picture I have applied the glue to both surfaces. They must dry for 10-25 minutes, or until the glue doesn't stick to your fingers anymore.
The next step is the actual fitment. Now, patience is the word, since you only get one chance to fit it properly. The glue sticks instantly, so there's no further chances of fiddling the position.
RH- side door card ready.
And both of them installed.
Being loyal to my habits, I finally gave the car a wash.
The next day, after suffering the hangover of last night, I wen't to my childhood home and swapped the summer tires. I purchased new fitment rings for all 4 (Steyrtek 72,6/66,1)
The outcome looks something like this.
Well, nothing lasts forever. Especially nice weather in Finland. When I wen't to work this morning, It looked like this outside.
I think that summer has forgotten us completely...

Next sunday it's time for some service again. I completed my arsenal today when I did a little shopping.
I also replaced this
With this
The old one was 14kkm/6 months old.
Motox has proved to be something I'm not willing to use anymore.
