I was sure it was corectly fitted, all the holes aligned apart from the pushrod holes that were eclipsed a few mm.
Ill go and collect the new gasket soon and have another crack!
Quite miss the Sunny, be good to get it going and tearing up the streets again.


Re: Swaybar.
I dont know anything about it sorry, it was a mates who was trying different combos to suit the 3SGE KE30 he was building.
Sadly hes currently dead so I cant ask him.
No visible branding or anything, just some vivid scribbles on the front face which is more likely Phil's Measurements.

I aint dead, just on Hiatus.

Car is pretty good averall, new shocks in the front, new drivers door glass, painted & polished wheels, front spook, Rev counter, Some vaccum-cleaner hose cold-air double direct ducting, general tidying.
For some fucked reason the brake lights are constantly on, drains battery which i suspect stems from a charging problem anyway..meh

Had to jet down the road to do some shit the other week, put newish battery in without clamping it down. Yeah, the last corner i turned before returning to my driveway the battery fell into the fan and carved the side out of it. Man i was stoked. Even the acid paint-stripping my engine & bay,made my whole fucking week. Hence the Rapid removal of the side-window

Heres Tom with the weather;
