Just Serviced
Hey I serviced my car this week. Changed the oil & oil filter. Cleaned out Cone filter, but across two interesting things.
Oil Filter. This was the first time ever that I fitted a Gud filter into my SX. I always by the original one from Nissan. The first thing I noticed is that the original one is a cooler colour , but the quaility of the Nissan brand is better. The sealing rubber looks more tolerant & the filter holes are not as neat as the Nissan one.
So I'm going to spend the extra R40.00 I put the Nissan one instead. This I advise everybody to do.
Also. i have a cone filter & at the last event I was telling Toby that as soon as the car gets to operating temperature the idle goes funny. I pulled the air filter out & saw that the AFM was filled with gunk . I pulled the AFM & cleaned it out. (Watch the two little wires..very sensitive) Once everything wa back & driving from Buccleuch to randburg, I noticed the car didn't idle funny anymore. (yeah).
The oil used is Mobile one as I got a good price for it.

You can get the Filter from any nissan. & yes you can say 200sx, but the 1.8 litre.
I never had a problem, they always had it.
Sorry about not doing it at your place, but maybe we an schedule it this weekend.
Using carb cleaner is good & metholated spirits as well. Anything that will degrease it without leaving a residue will work.
mine was badly gunked up.

Well the reason I want help is 'cos I took the AFM off the other day and looked in but can't see these wires you guys talk about. I have carb cleaner so I could just spray it into the little hole at the bottom of the AFM? Is that right?
Can't do this weekend WooHaa - I'm taking my SX to a security shop to have a new alarm system fitted. This one doesn't unlock the doors when you switch off, which means it will work nicely with a turbo timer
