Front Tire Replacement

Replaced front tires to Pirelli P Zero Nero.
It cost 33,000 yen including nitro filling, labor charge and disposal of old tires (shown in the picture above).
I'm not satisfied with the fact that the P zero system is no longer available in Japan.



The picture below shows the work in progress in Meguro branch of Yatoh Tire shop.

Oil leak trouble

My mechanic found the cause of oil leak was the faulty high pressure hose. The genuine part was no more available, so that he made the one by making use of universal type from Earl's.

He also replaced the faulty switch of oil pressure meter, which haven't worked almost for 6 months. The part (shown in the picture above) was the one I bought from AFRA.

Oil leak

I found an oil spill on the garage floor.

Can't tell if it came from Power steering system or not. But since I found fluid level reached less than minimum, I poured 1/4 litres of power steering fluid just bought at Autobacks Daikanyama, which claimed its function of stopping leakage. Let's see how it works.

There is another concern about an odd sound I hear when travelling at low speed. I have no idea from where it comes.

Oil change

Oil change on Dec. 16th after the 3,000 km/6 months interval.
Used to fill AGIP Racing for a few years, and this time tried ERG Olikron 5W50 for the first time, which was recommended by my mechanic, saying that other brands raised their prices due to the Euro's climb.

Auction

Dispatched to a winning bidder. The price was JPY 6,000 total.
