has anyone used this on exterior panels and if so what make and spec ?

How the devils do you remove/fit it?? I've found it, near enough broken my back getting down there but can't seem to figure out how to remove it completely! The screw in the top corner which seems to be holding it to the metal mounting bracket is impossible to get to as there's just not enough clearance. I've removed the two screws visible below the ecu box which appeared to be holding the metal mounting bracket to the body but the thing still won't budge. Any ideas?? I've had to remove the plastic piping which direct air to the feet to get at all of this so far....it's all in bits so would like to finish the job today if possible! lol

Ive just changed the left 02 sensor and today i get a code 33 again? why is this.. Jesus it was a bad enough job i wouldnt want to do it again!:confused1:

I am looking for some new car wax for my 300, and found this on the bay. I have heard about this product from people i work with saying it is great.

Mate of mine has just got a 200SX & is starting to mod it. He has just picked up a cheap AVCR but it has no pressure sensor or solenoid valve - does anyone have any of these parts available or know anyone that can get spare parts? Thanks :)

you wanted to change your electric driver and electric pasenger seat for some lighter ones ..what would be your choice .??..budget around 600 quid the pair .???? so thats bride seats out for a start :) looked at corbeau cant see any recliners and cobra seeem expensive and without subframes...

I've fitted the 330mm discs and the 8 pot calipers :) look the bees knees :) I have some issues tho :( 1. There is loads of travel when you apply the brake, but if you release and and apply again it's a lot firmer, still not as firm as I'd like the pedal to be but definatly better. (This is when the car is travelling) 2. When you brake at any speed above 60mph I get major steering wheel shake :( at first I thought a wheel was coming off, but they were fine when checked. All the bleeding was done on the front and rear but we didn't bleed the the whole system. I'm wondering if It could be rust on the hub that's not allowing the disc to sit flush? …

Car drove fine with no problems only last weekend. Drove up from London to Stoke last night and performance was fine...was only when I pulled into some services and it got quieter that I noticed there was quite a loud clicking/tapping noise coming from the engine. Seems to get louder and faster with revs. Can't think what it might be and as I said, performance doesn't seem to have been affected but very disconcerting, especially as I have to drive all the way back down to London tomorrow! Any ideas as to what it might be?? I did poke my head in the bay but can't figure out exactly where it's coming from. Almost sounds like when my AC compressor went but I know i…

Just a quick question, I have Plasma dials fitted bot want to change the normal dash bulbs for LED. I know the dash itself are 501's but the side pods look like these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280535459479&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Anyone used them? Do you think they will work? Cheers Dave

I had an advisory last mot for drivers side upper link arm which is fully adjustable would i have to replace both sides as i dont want to go back to standard ones or have to fit new both sides?

The door lock on the drivers side has a small plastic quadrant on the end of the key barrel that can break and leave the key and central locking inoperative, locking the drivers door and using the passenger door to get in and out is a royal pain but is the only way unless you fit an alarm with the central locking option. So why not just buy the offending part and replace it, well in Nissan's wisdom they decided that they would only sell the part connected to a brand new key and barrel so a small piece of plastic becomes a £60 wallet hit. But there is an option which with a little work is free and will get you drivers door lock and central locking fully working a…

Problem being my steering... at times it under responds. for example the steering wheel turns more than the driving wheels do. secondly,the steering goes from normal weight, to very light quite often. and thirdly. at times the steering wheel will turn either more to the left or more to the right at higher speeds, so much so that the steering wheel is almost 1/4 turned when going straight. but this gradually reduces as the speed does. what the hell is wrong with it??

Hi, I have two problems if any one could give me some advice would be brill. First one, is the oil pressure gauge has been working fine, but now is slow and on idle only goes up to about 40psi will go up when revved but only half way up, dont want to **** the engine by driving it:-( engine sounds fine and no noise when revved ect any way of checking the gauge might have give up but Iam quite new to zeds lol. Second one, is some times the revs will go up to just under 2k and when this happens you get a little white smoke out the back not loads, the revs will come back down its like something is sticking open. any help would be great. cheers mark
