folding mirror question
Is it possible to wire my folding mirrors into my alarm. at the moment if my windows are down and i walk away from the car, when i press the remote to lock it, the windows do them selves up. was just wondering if there was a way to patch into the wiring that achieves this, to also fold the mirrors in as well?

Relocating car alarm siren
Does it have a valet mode? if so stick it in valet mode, deactivate the alarm as per normal, and then cut the wires. should be fine with that. if not, ware ear defenders and move it quickly lol

Relocating car alarm siren
Agreed, unless the back up battery is dead, easiest way to check is disconnect the car battery, if the siren goes off, its back up is good, if it doesn't, might be time to get the siren overhauled. easiest place to put it is up by the cruse control unit near the drivers side of the window (basically opposite the battery)

water leak comes back to haunt me.
wow i go sleep, and look at the interest I've stirred, don't worry ill be getting loads of car porn pictures, and yes Jeff, you were right, doing a flush made it worse but at least its nice and healthy water / coolent. As for the hesitation issue, i ran down to the car the other night to try changing over the PTU, changed it over, tried starting the car, but she wouldn't fire up on the new PTU, so put the old one back on after cleaning the connections. must of caught it when doing the power steering pipe, as she hasn't been hesitant since.

any one have a twin turbo 300zx engine?
Well, if its the passenger side turbo that's fubar, and the drivers side is ok, my drivers side turbo is leaking oil, but the passenger side is ok, get my engine for £200 complete with turbos, swap your plenum over to my engine, and the drivers side turbo off your car onto the drivers side of my engine, and you have a working twin turbo engine, simples. then all you need is a wiring harness.

water leak comes back to haunt me.
Well progress, the hesitation issue has now gone. car running smoothly again, then today got her up to temp went to move her, and low and behold a bloody swimming pool forming under the car. turned the engine off and checked. Water leak is back, but noticed it does it when the engine is warm, when its stone cold, it doesn't, so going to empty the system out over the weekend and check the top rubber pipe work. also going to get the rad out, take the plenum off, clean everything check the water pump, flush the radiator through, and if needed change the water pump, top inlet pipes, clean all the radiator rubber hoses, water by pass, and polished plenum on. may as well as shes going to be off the road for a few days chasing this water leak. ill update this thread with photos, now I've found my camera, and get a walk through up as well while I'm at it.

Couple of electrical questions from a newbie
First of all Hello and welcome to the forum, Sounds like it could be relay related, if so and you have checked all fuses, then the relay for accessories is on the rear of the fuse box in the foot well, and its a pain in the butt to get to. So first id check all fuses for a blown one, if you are fine, then next would be to check the relays, first remove the kick sill from the drivers side of the car, then remove the plastic trim that covers the fuse box, fuse box is held in with 3 screws, remove the screws, remove the plugs that go into the front of the fuse box, and as you start to remove it, there are more plugs into the rear of the fuse box. Once removed you will see the relays mounted on the back of it. 1 small blue one, 1 normal size blue one, 2 black and a brown relay, all of these apart from the small blue relay, can be changed over for relays in the engine bay fuse box (large t shaped one) check them out one at a time until you either get it working or you eliminate a possible relay failure. But to make it easier, there is one on the rear labeled as ACC. remove and change this one first. While you are there, check to see if you have a targa leak and that its not causing the fuse box to short. as it will run down that side and empty the water out on the rear of the fuse box

any one have a twin turbo 300zx engine?
saffy how much are you looking to pay for a engine, i think is the best one. also is yours auto or manual?
-
any one have a twin turbo 300zx engine?
i have one as well, still has a turbo seal gone on drivers side, but the engine runs and you can see it running before taking it off the car. also has the wiring harness yet you would be better off buying a new one, would also need a new plenum.

car on ebay
I fully agree, to me a good advert, that is well spelt WITH OUT USING ALL CAPS or Enlarging the lettering because they think your eyes are shyte OR BOTH A well thought out informative advert makes it look like they want to sell and that they take care in the upkeep of the vehicle. PS, appearance has two P's in it lol

car on ebay
Guys, not having a go here, but I've put a card in the window with our club name and website on it, I'm sure if she (been noticed as a female driver) pops onto the club and see's all the comments, that shes not going to stick around long. Ok she is selling it. so the likely hood that they will visit the club is minimal. it would be nice if they got a warm welcome. you never know they might of bought the car like that. As for spelling, yes we know there are spell checkers out there. but not many people know how to use them, and as someone already mentioned. it might not be their first language as we have a lot of immigrants who work and live in wellingborough.
