Very useful! What are the other bushes? Subframe/diff?

LOvely wheels what are they? Also liking the front fenders, are they the ones you see on ebay? Or something different? Very nice!

I've no clue if my fans work, I can't recall ever hearing them but I do have an extra intercooler, any way of ensuring the fans should be on so I can check/observe them?

sad times I get a slight petrol smell at times, where are the details about this pipe?

I have berk hfcs and a constant warning light but always manage an MOT fine, the garage has experience though so it always gets a look at.

Woo  also have a 54 plate, saves on the road tax and perfectly decent  many years of happyness to come!

The buster guide makes things louder not quieter, if you have buzzing without the mod then adding the mod only makes it worse!

Can you confirm that when the stereo is switched off (power off) the buzzing goes?

Wheel is very offputting sadly  Clearer daylight photos would help too.

Most people know the GT's at the ones to go for and the price difference is minimal anyways

all together it might appear solid but often taking it bit by bit it's less strong,anyways good luck!

I just whacked mine with a hammer and a piece of wood, that said I didn't remove the hub side until the body end had been shifted to ensure there was no twisting.

How deteriorated is the rubber? I had a qashqai engine mount disintegrate in my hands after some prodding with a screwdriver

would a ball joint separator fork help?

different issue but a caliper slide rubber got stuck on the missus car and I ended up melting it slightly.... The rubber will melt before the metal.

the bananas are a deeper clunk while the drop links are a higher pitch sound

Mines red and it's onl;y ever lived outside, considering it's 13 years old now it still looks vibrant and bright, certainly doesn't look faded and most people think it looks 5-6 years old when I've given it a good clean. I don't particularly look after it very well so It's just naturally vibrant I guess. Haven't seen more than 4-5 red's in the flesh but none of them ever looked faded like some cheapy corsa or something

Red's a nice colour and reasonably rare so go for it! Even a newish one is 9 years old now so it's unlikly to fall off a cliff if the colour looks good!

Is it possible to set the warning pressure? I like gadgets, gadgets are cool

Another superb job from the guru 

 

Are you doing re-profiled steering wheels now?

and if so how much!

Daft question, on the Nismo V3 the vents in front of the wheel arches take the reflectors, on this version they just look like vents, is that correct?

How are the vents/grill in the normal V3 mounted v3 here? Looks like mesh could be added across the back but the vertical struts would be more complicated?

ah the wrap isn't totally opaque so the new panels would be in black probably while the body would be red and the difference would be noticable

You would want to check in with the bodyshop but I would imagine you want at least 4-6 weeks between spray and wrap as well?

Definetly! It's more working out the budget, either I have to spray the new kit parts in which case with the corrections to the existing car panels it seems like that would eat my whole budget or correct what's staying, prep the new parts to the minimum and then wrap the whole thing in a bit. which feels like only paying to tart up 1/2 the cars surface.

Random question as part of my long term future plans!

Is it possible to wrap bodykit panels directly ie without painting them up to the full standard and then wrapping on top? I'm pondering getting front and rear bumpers and skirts (possibly even front wings)

If I was to get the car wrapped I'd want to fix some existing paint issues before wrapping to ensure that the paintwork is in good quality when the wrapps applied and removed (few chips on the bonnet, laqure peeling on the A pillar in 1 area) Obviously if I'm also preping and paint all my new pannels that's almost a full respray and then a wrap which seems a little overkill, may as well get the full respray, however if I can just correct the remaining pannels and wrap the new parts directly without a spray that's a lot cheaper.

ANyone done this?

MD, can you take a pic of the purple wire you spliced into? I was thinking it was the one Taybo spliced into thd 2nd time round but he says splicing into that one still gives him problems so dont want to do it until I find out Im splicing the correct wire lol

SUre thing, here you go..

Make sense?

got it reached up and found the cable, wrapped in a cable tie, spliced into the purple wire and everything is working as it should! Should have kept my mouth shut then id be looking smart!

I'm in the same boat as you MD! This is the purple wire I spliced to to begin with. Then found out this is wrong. There is a split conduit loom wire behind the speaker in my Revup and I have found the purple wire in that lot to splice into but mine is still doing the same as yours. Still haven't had time for a 3rd attempt atm.

Here is where I splice behind the speaker.

 

Hm I've put my hands in but I can't feel any cabling behind the speaker area accept the one which I've already spliced into which goes into the door and then back to the car.

The switch reversal isn't a problem just chuckling at my luck!

Anyone have a picture of the purple wire to splice into behind the speaker? I removed the speaker but have a couple lots of wiring harnesses but they are all insulated so don't want to cut through all the wiring harnesses to find the right one especially seen as its susceptible to water ingress. Thanks in advance

when people say behind the speaker what do they mean? There's no wires begin my speaker! (it is the big speaker right?) wired mine up but it refuses to open or close the mirrors automatically so guess over wired the purple wire wrong, also my open close switch is now reversed, doing well!

Very DIY-able if your thinking of doing it  I got mine from Alex and fitted it myself

sounding very much like its failing to charge! You can trickle charger overnight to keep it topped up while sorting the issue

Never sure if my fans work as I've an extra oil cooler, hmmmm!

Do your belts sqeak on start up?

Is your battery actually draining or is it not charging? Only takes a handful of starts to use enough of a fully charged battery to stop you starting again.
