Thanks guys for the reply. I plan to do paint work and replace parts first. The accessories come later coz most important is body must 'leng ceng' (remove rust) hahahaha...

I'm using Titan Abs and that make me don't mind rough ride. I welcome any suggestion to improve ride. i love it coz it's manual. maybe rear anti roll bar too (how much?)...

I know fkmfkm was long time sentra-man and bro vr2turbo is sifu level...

smile_big.gif u guys cheer my day....Sr citizen mar hahaha...but i'm just taxi driver level oni hahaha. fkm drifter level...

Body not badly rust, but time to refresh. Wanna sell also not worth so keep pakai lah, especially for everyday driving. Do nice-nice oso kena people scratch later.

fkm, Normally service my 4 abs about 1-2 years once, RM100 per abs. Change abs doesn't make our car become merc like some claim, but sporty ride bit lah.

my concern is engine mounting, my old-type workshop (familiar with Nissan) dont recommend to change (they said won't last long either)

Steering rack or drive shaft got sound also when i turn steering while on still.

What do u think about stainless steel radiator? last long? hard to service? better cooling?
Look up, look down, look left & right.. but dun forget to look at urself.

Absorb for me last quite long. Only when goes very soft then only change.
Engine mounting no need to change if you can stand the vibration and sometimes knocking
Drive shaft make little noise can still use, if (again) you can stand the noise. Change when noise is loud. This way can prolong their use. Actually my mechanic ask me to do that....ha! ha!
I think you mean aluminum radiator? What is wrong with your original one?

Engine mounting issue: My mechanic suggest slight movement at engine bay cause the pickup a bit slow during overtake and there is a "thud" sound when release clutch while rolling slow speed (eg 0-10 kmj). That is where he think mounting rubber loose bit but no problem he said. Just wish to fix the "thud" sound(it was there when bought second hand).

Drive shaft: Recently only happen, not yet refer to mechanic. When turn steering at still got "kruk-kruk-kruk" snd from front-left.

Stainless steel radiator: The frame is built with stainless steel and the cooling fin is aluminum (no crack worry but dunno can service o not). Normally our radiator got fiber cover always crack when old (good things is-can service/replace and use back the fin). Nothing wrong with ori, just gatai-gatai.... hahahah

Got thud sound, probably mounting broken/squashed already. Engine now sitting lower and near sub frame, when change gear to accelerate, engine movement hit sub frame.
When turning steering at still, means not moving? If yes, then not drive shaft. Damaged drive shaft will have sound, when doing full turn left or right depending which is damaged?
Radiator have both fiber and metal cover and both can be serviced.....
