Im waiting on a shipping date from japan on my 1992 fairlady, im hopeing to get the car in about six weeks boats permiting.{ if it takes any longer i will burst!}. I know i need to fit a fog light switch but am i rite in thinking that there is already a fog light in the rear light?. And most importantly do i need to do any thing eather computory or timery to get it to run on uk fuel?.Any more tips on reacently imported cars would be most appreaciated. :hyper:

you will need a fog light unit as well, the thing to be aware of with the ecu is it will be set up to run on 100 ron so if you want unleaded you could get the ecu socketed and a chip from andy P on this forum for about £140

It's not got a fog light on the rear light normally matey but the two inner brake lights are normally converted to fog lights, make sure whoever does the conversion in whatever form puts an illuminated switch as its a recent mot requirement.

 

Not sure about the timing but should be 15 deg iirc, best to get the cambelt done regardless for peace of mind.

 

My best piece of advice would be to get it undersealed properly pronto so as it has no chance of rotting whatso ever!

 

Apart from that change the oil + filter, fuel filter, spark plugs and coolant and your car will be in the best possible state for some time to come!

 

Cheers, Ste

Is this chip a self fit or is it a bit more tecnical than that?

the ecu will need socketing, after this is done it makes chip changes easier, the price is close to what i paid andyp when he socketed my ecu and fitted the chip, he returns the ecu damn sharpish as well
