sill damage
something i've been going to sort since i got the car but not got round to it yet, on the rear of the drivers side sill a previous owner has tried jacking the car up so the lip at the bottom on the sill is bent over plus it's pushed the bottom of the sill panel in also, my concern is the targa drain that doesn'e seem to be draining because of this damage, can it be straightened or am i looking at getting the sill cut open & repaired, also got same damage on the passenger side front but thats bottom of the wing so should be easier to resolve.

Old Blaupunkt stereo, non standard connection - any ideas?
i think a lot of stereo's have the bigger connector cut out built in but no pins so that connector may work, it would also work if you bought something with a trailing iso lead

Old Blaupunkt stereo, non standard connection - any ideas?
just looking on the web the bigger top section looks like it is used for steering wheel controls/joystick

Old Blaupunkt stereo, non standard connection - any ideas?
the bottom 2 parts look like standars iso but not sure about the top bigger plug any stereo you buy sould have the iso lead/plug if you know how to do wiring you should be able to also buy the opposite end with short cables to splice into your loom

Fixed my windscreen woes
well i thought i was going to have my windscreen repaired tuesday, well polished to remove the wiper marks in the glass, but when the engineer turned up he also picked up loads of small stonechips in the glass, so reccomended i had a new screen fitted. so with that being done yesterday i can now actually see when the sun hits the screen, only one slight problem while fitting, the top trim sent out was different to the original not allowing it to clip in to the 2nd part on the bodt correctly so i had to have the 'universal trim' fitted instead, slightly wider than the stock one but looks ok on the car, but thank god for screen cover on the insurance the engineer told me retail price on the screen he fitted was £1080 plus fitting and thats not even a genuine nissan screen.:scared:

Recommend an alarm
i have the remains of a ai606 in mine but the interior sensors and siren were both goosed when i bought the car, also whoever fitted it didn't put the drivers door locking actuator in the right place making it virtually impossible to unlock with the key, one of the jobs on my ever growing to do list

any djs here?
you need a 4 in 4 out sound card such as the maya 44 which will allow you to have 2 stereo channels out and 2 stereo in, the time code cd is downloadable from the vdj site also i think there is a good write up on how to set it up with timecode on the vdj forum
