LED Dash lighting question
i was working from a 5 band resistor where band 4 the multiplier, but it does make sense that the ohmage is too high, 4700 i im surprised you got any light at all lol Send me an EMAIL groover@300zx.co.uk with your address i have hundreds of 470 and 520 resistors, i will send you a pack. Cheers Graham

LED Dash lighting question
Should still be bright, have you made sure the dimmer is up full on the dash? What are all the colours on the resistor, you may have too higher resistence making them dim. Also and i have had this in the past with red leds where the positive and negative had been reversed in the led and the long leg was on the - leg, is your led clear so you can see the diode shape in the dome? long leg + should be the small filament in the led.

LED Dash lighting question
You need a resistor on an led to prevent overheat and complete destruction of the led. Place the resistor on the long + leg of the led. They then will only light one way when plugged into the dash or pod. Yellow violet and red is 472 ohms so should be fine.

A question about Scottish Independence...
Biggest mistake ever breaking up the British Isles, we would still have to fund Scotland if they went independent, so they only want to be independent of rules and laws, infact some of the laws are different up there, but cant see what the benefit is, or is it because i dont really care lol

Rear windscreen defroster
You probably wont be able to re solder the whole track, too much heat, be better off cutting the track that is hanging off and buy yourself r a repair kit, which is basically a metalised paint pen and redraw the track http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_203667_langId_-1_categoryId_255229

Rear windscreen defroster
Time control unit in the footwell, im only suggesting the route not the main cause. Check the tracks on the rear window and the plug.

Rear windscreen defroster
Are your wing mirror heaters after market addition wired to the rear demist button or factory? Check the tracks on the rear window for any obvious breaks or deep scratch, check the wire and connector to the window and make sure the plug hasnt semi snapped off. IIRC the rear demister runs through the TCU as its a timed device turned off to prevent overheating, check fuse.

at the end of my teather!!!!!
The viscous fan is supposed to be turning or do you mean the electric fan? if the electric fan is on constantly then your left temp sensor is either duff or corroded connection. It will affect the fuelling, so check that first.

The after market ally or TT rad is thicker than the N/A, iirc you need to modify the bottom brackets to fit, top brackets just stop it moving about and as far as fan shroud, i binned mine, its not essential on an N/A for cooling and have noticed no rise in temps in over a year of not having it.
