This is looking great mate

Special head how do you mean ?

support bearing type mate!

thanks wocka! your exhaust will be on very very soon, i need to buy some gaskets but, after the MOT...

update :

- oil seal and exhaust gasket due by thursday
- new full set of braided hose ordered
- AP racing rotors ordered

 pics soon

Yesterday I noticed the front wheel lh side was dead, so I need to remove all the hub to change it.
I already popped off the steering knuckle, the caliper is now attached to the strut spring.
I put the wheel back on to undo the driveshaft wheel nut, but I need now to buy a 32mm longer tool to pop it off as it is the only one missing in my tool box...I think a 1meter bar will be sufficient to undo it!

Today I hope to get all my orders to finish in the evening or tomorrow.

depends how fat you are  I find 6'' is enough lol

Lol very true bob ..... with mine i had my big breaker bar wich is around a metre and even then i struggled you know that kind of moment where you straining that hard your face goes red and it all starts going hazey in other words in torque settings it was F.T

lol!!
i'm 82 kg, but sometimes on my minis for exemple and 34mm tool, impossible to pop it off even a 1m bar to help...

i received the bits from Paul today :
- polysbushes engine mounts
- ARC BOV (do you know how to plug it??)
- uprated clutch fork
- toe eye cover (i bought the paint this morning to spray it and put a little coat on the front bumper as the paint flakes a bit)

and i'm annoyed with Nissan they didn't received the oil seal today... 
i will continue to undo all the bits and change the wheel bearing it needs to be changed.

I'm 90Kg but prefer a 3/4 impact gun as don't like being rad faced & dizzy.
Have done it the bar way before & had the handle off one of our trolley jacks to extend the breaker bar to about 1.6M & do it with the car on the ground (wheel on) as a lot easier, also prefer to have someone keeping socket in position to save rounding nut corners off if slips & have a rag over knuckle of bar just in case it shatters ... impact gun is a lone mans best friend ...

sure, but i have no air capacity and no air gun....maybe once i will have a house!!! 

No house, a garage with a bed in the corner is more fun & cheap :-)

Awesome! I Would have a warehouse with a flat up in, but it's not my girlfriend faste so will have a house with a garage beside! It's the next project for us, the house qu'est begins in september!

girlfriend !!! no no no Mr Fred.
You can only have one love & that should be your new virgin white GTiR.
A girlfriend will only waste valuable time & money that should be spent on your true love ;-)
warehouse sounds great, houses are a little boring ... have fun ...

Ah ah Mr. B, your thought make sense to me, but there is enough place in my heart for her and for my cars!!

Back on the sun'. driveshaft nut came as expected with no problems with 1m bar!! and the wheel down the road.
the calipers is stitch to the strut and diveshaft is in the air!
no play on the lower balljoint, and all seems in good condition.

tomorrow, i will try to pull off the driveflange off the bearing with a press, what do you think about that??
and then pull off the cage, or destroy the bearing to access to the cage...press or weld, that's the question...thought?

About the driveshaft, i have this in front of me :

may i need to unscrew the bolts near the oil seal, or may i need to remove all the complete shaft (driveshaft + sideshaft)??  

using this method ? (as stated by nomad and Mr B)

yes don't undo the bolts just lever out the driveshaft complete its easier and quicker that way

Mon Nissan Pulsar me coûte plus d'argent que ma femme lol

lmao!!! where is Brian? brian is in the kitchen! Oh, it's raining today, where is my umbrella!!! 
Nomad, keep your wife and sell the pulsars!!!

haha yes I just phoned the number and it was someone from Jamaica who wanted a hub
phoned it by accident, probably cost me about £10.

the others cheated with the French stuff fred where as mine was straight from memory lol.
wished I could understand other languages fluently then I could hear when people are insulting me 

Even in jamaica they have pulsars! Ah ah! Funny thing!
Good memory if all come from the time you went in here in motorbike!

Back on my car,
Hub is now rebuilt with a new bearing, im still waiting for the oil seal from Nissan as i got a phone call in the morning, it is nowhere apart at Nissan...so i cancelled the mot appointment i had planned for tomorrow morning...

I don't know When i'll get it from Nissan, the man tell me about 1 more week to wait, but unsure.

Excellent progress Fred keep it up

I haven't done French for 14 years, so what I can remember isn't worth remembering  
Think a company in Jamaica made a 700+HP drag pulsar,
