clutch and flywheel look smoked

spraying your trans with brake clean then washing the oils off the trans case onto your driveway, this is why rags exist

Thank you for your feedback. Firstly I'm no mechanic so I'm learning on the job. Also I'm doing this with basic tools. The angle grinder was only used to cut up the metal insert part of the old seal which was being scrapped anyway. Yes there are probably more "sensible" tools to cut this, but it's what I had. Yes there is the risk of nipping the retainer, but a new retainer is 30USD so a risk I took. I was only hammering the metal of the seal into place on the concrete surface with an extension bar. It didn't require much force, probably because it was a hot day and the rubber was more soft. Every other video I've watched for research purposes the seal has been pre fitted to the retainer before fitting to the car. Probably so you're not hammering the seal around the end of the crank. Also you can actually buy the retainer with the seal pre installed. I imagine you could install the seal, half moon and retainer in various orders, but the end result is all three are installed. Hence the term "more than one way to skin a cat" ( don't tell my cat though as he won't be happy).

Thank you. Not a lot of choice lol.

You too sir. Have to say I've met quite a few Automotive youtubers (also met Mat Armstrong, Ciro, Tavarish, Ben EvilGT, Adam C and Schmee ) and all are proper down to earth. I'd say the reason for that is RUclips is about normal people from normal backgrounds given the opportunity to make content and publish it to the world. TV is done.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oops

Thank you. I was looking at the SGS 3T but when I went to order it was out of stock. However I don't need 3T for the car. I just liked the idea of over compensating. I imagine alot of then are the same design anyway and badged up I believe in America there was a lawsuit because a hardware store bought the same design from China as Snap-on and they weren't very happy they were selling it for a fraction of the price.

I believe you would need to get a certificate of compliance from Nissan to say that it meets the required EU emissions and then apply to ULEZ with said certificate. However this video is regarding removing a fuel tank and "ULEZ compliant" was tongue in cheek. Also I don't venture into A ULEZ zone very often and if I do it's most likely to be work related in my van that is compliant for the car for the rare, Currently no plan for it entry into a ULEZ I'd rather pay the fee than restrict my cars exhaust system.

Thank you. Adam C is in my next video upload.

Will try that. Thought it may be a bit too "agressive". I briefly tried my belt file sander and it was too aggressive and "shaped" the metal.

Cam Belt can be done with engine in.

@@SIMONHOLFORD normal garages want to remove the engine in the coupe which is barbarrick when the 2 specialists in the country simply push the engine over to do the work. not looking forward to the bill i get in july when it goes 3 hours away to get the belt etc done. as im getting cambelt water pump crank angle cam phase sensor front main/oil pump seal steering belt and tensioner pulleys done along with brand new stage 3 hybrid turbo technicks turbo and replacement oem manifold.

@@5cylinder91 Timing belt, water pump, cam sensor, crank pully you can do all that with the engine in by taking out the fan and radiator and boost pipes. Turbos is debatable. Apparently they can be removed from underneath. But requires some clever twisting about to get past the strut towers. So upgraded turbos may well need engine out to get them in.

@@SIMONHOLFORD i changed the turbo 3 times on my old 5 speed 20vt no probs, finnaky would be a big understatement trying to get hands in and twist and turn the turbo certain ways to get it out and in again tho. cambelt etc not a driveway job as i havnt access to engine hoist etc no torque wrench no cam locking tools. nor do i have a second set of hands to help out and im partially disabled having a broken leg and major ops still to come after 6 years of waiting already so lifting and moving stuff is generally a nightmare

@@SIMONHOLFORD luckily if you stay hybrid turbo and dont go for one which requires a 5 bolt downpipe flange adaptor getting more power in the same footprint is not difficult. sadly the turbo manifolds are far and few between. they always crack and the used ones for sale are typically cracked or have been rewelded upteem amount of times.

@@SIMONHOLFORD oh fair enough pal, typically every uk youtuber is miles away, im in the arse end of nowhere called weymouth.

@@SIMONHOLFORD loving the hands on wrenching vids mate, good to see people working on these and the 3000gt vr4s, as they arent the easiest. makes the cambelt engine out job on mine seem not too bad really. not that im doing mine. thats for fcss to sort.

The video is about removing the fuel tank. It's tongue in cheek.

I wouldn't mastic them because the water will work its way in through the roof/window seal then
