  1. Car's booked in for Thursday, hopefully find out whats up with it then.
  2. Felt bad for you coming all that way and getting stranded! least we got you home ha, none the less appreciated!
  3. I'd like to thank Richie for his help today, been much appreciated, like said, even with everything iv touched removed there's still something drawing the current Another thing is, when the car is turned on, even driving, as soon as I turn the fan on all the lights turn on to do with vdc, but that fuse is ok...
  4. Something drained battery. Car started once connecting to mates car and ran fine n charged. Plugged into diagnostics at redline, and no faults on ecu or immobiliser. Found when I turn the interior fan on abs,tc & esp turn on... "/
  5. Update; Went out last night and it started with no problems, so I took it for a test drive over the space of the next two hours going to random places, turning it on and off, Then I was sitting in idle in a parking space in tests away to head home and abs, traction control and esp. Lights came on, Thena noise from the clutch, as the engine starterd to die dropping below idle revs, so I put clutch in and it died. Tried to restart and wouldn't turn on. It's got a new battery battery. Everything worked last night, but somethings randomly tripped the immobiliser again. "/ Any idea? Is it a simple job of replacing the BCM for a new one?
  6. Ok so got this box yesterday morning, and was very excited to see its contents! displayed: On the car: Pictures dont even do it justice, to see it in person, its awesome! Got this all all the hub, etc to fit too... HOWEVER... Since fitting my interior, i must have tripped something, cause immobiliser activated overnight, drained my battery, locked my out my car, had to go through my arch to pull bonnet cable...cutting my hands leaving blood everywhere...but i was determined. so iv got a new battery in the car, but immobiliser still wont disengaged, removed all my interior again to try source problem...but still doing it, and cant get the sequence of on off of the ignition to work to reset it...so yeah having a REALLY bad day. but still really happy with my interior...going to avoid doing the steering wheel for a while, rather have a working car for least a week... ''/ but nether the less, thats your update
  7. Still cant get manual key to work, even with a bottle of wd40! however, iv went through the driver side arch and pulled the bonnet catch (REALLY EASY) ... so not a stress. new battery (probably didnt need one, but replaced anyway) Checked all fuses, all fine. Immobiliser still activated. cant disarm the thing!!! keep trying various things that nissan have suggested (guys at nissan said they wouldnt know how to fix it other than messing about with guesswork)...not going anywhere near there now... they did say, its timing crucial, so even once out of a hundred go's it should work. so going to spend rest of the night at this on off, quickly for 6 times, and aso the on 5 seconds, off 10, repeat, etc. but what a headache. still dont even know what the original problem was that tripped it.
  8. only electrics i touched was plugging the aftermarket stereo back into its harness...but it had already been previously in. the first problem was it wouldnt allow power to the starter, and now nothing works. neither the keys. just tried the manual lock, and its going to bend a key before it opens... ''/
  9. I had locked it just before i had went in. so all entry points are locked...i have no way what so ever to get in... ''/ not going very well...
  10. First off, i was refitting my newly refinished interior, ie reconnecting the stereo, etc. later that night, when i went to start the car, it wouldnt even try to turn over. the battery volts in center console say its just over 12. so its got plenty. but it wont even engage the starter, so my guess is immobiliser. so i messed about trying to lock, and unlock, then went in to calm down. came back out later, and it wouldnt even unlock the car now (where as it did before). i tried the manual lock aswell, and its stiff shut. i took my spare key out to try that. that doesnt work either (and it did before.) so my dilema. i cant get into the car. at all and i still dont know how to solve it in the first place. any help? im getting extremely stressed. ha! Much thanks!
  11. When i bought the car, it already had a Milltek from Y-piece back. so i had them make it from the the flange and split. took them like an hour and half, but think it was £250which may seem alot but...its a split pipe design and everywhere seemed to charge a lot ha.but least now its interchangable with my other back box...so if police give me a 7 day ticket, its not a problem
  12. Ha sure does, hopefully get to the next Aberdeen meet! Got an update coming soon. Got some good stuff happening within next month or so!

    Seats

    http://www.corbeau-seats.com/sports-road-seats Check out the RRB... in black Had my eye on these seats for a few month... heard nothing but good things Though id share
  14. Beside Asda? was getting a spot of lunch
  15. Cheers man! and iv had bad history with those suicide jacks! but had no choice to use it as my mate had my other one! ha. thanks though
  16. Small update; New wheel nuts: Oh and New wheels too! Specs are 9.5J Front, 10J Rear...however fronts are hard up against brake calipers so waiting on spacers, which means arch rolling also! And before anyone comments about the arch gap, they wont be going on until i get my coilovers which will be after winter Also interiors stripped, Center console and various bits getting sent away to get custom dipped. Also new double din!
  17. Well, i drove around with the backbox completely off for a day or so to get an idea what id be living with (all my previous cars have had loud exhausts however) So i had an idea, i enjoy'd the note that came off of it, i kept the milltek resonator pipe to keep the noise a bit down when going through residential streets (it works) so yeah overall, i can drive daily with not too much noise, but put the foot down and it makes a fair echo...does vibrate a little (but iv checked, and its more noise vibration than anything else, but its worth it!...Done a few Tunnel runs...and wow, Car Porn as my mates have told me.
  18. Only a small update; Had Exhaust pipes custom made, it is now interchangable with the miltek backbox, still has miltek centerpipe/resonated and y-piece. Had another go at the handbrake, ordered glitery purple shoe laces off amazon, turned out ok! Also changed my Air Filter. (Had a service not that long ago before i bought it) Got other bits and bobs coming, so will update sometime, Cheers!
  19. Just give you the heads up, after a period of time, those flat rings in the tail pipe ends break lose and rattle/rotate...well it happened to mine (same exhaust) to fix i simply pry'd them out and removed the fluff and @*!#. looked better and got rid of the rattle! Not saying it will happen to yours, but its something to keep an eye on bud
  20. Well, on the odd day im feeling nice, i pick my girlfriend up from the nursery across the street (< that sounds wrong...moving on) but yeah, if im sitting about waiting, feel free to pop over and say hello man
  21. Ha! yeah....i took the miltek backbox off to size up trying to sort a new backbox to be made, see how i go. I am guessing its Redline Performance you work at?
  22. i agree 100%, for some reason aberdeen is the most common place for private number plates, its ridiculous how many private plates are around here! just the mentality i guess ha.
  23. This are all already included in my "To Do List"...Which is actually REALLY extensive. The purple calipers will be sweet, unsure how to go about them as of yet, but wish to put gold flake through it to give it a shine to it much like the gold ones. its stuff iv wanted to do to other cars, or ideas iv taken from research. but much of my interior will be getting taken apart soon to be sent away for some work but all will show soon enough
  24. Right, so this morning, after looking through random japanese @*!# on google images, i got the idea to try Tsuka-Maki (the handles of a samurai sword). This is by all means a first try to see what it would look like on a standard trim handbrake. i wish to get longer Black laces (flat type) and carry it on further down the lever.i also want to run purple electrical tape all the way down the handbrake first so the diamond shapes you see past the black laces will be purple...Fingers crossed it works! just keep trying till it comes out perfect. pretty easy to be fair. Oh and dont mind the gear stick ha! it was from my drift mx5, and due to its size aids leverage for easy quick gear changes when sideways, and i got too used to it, and the old worn standard gear knob was too small. so this is here. (for now). Onto the update since purchase: As above, you can see one of THE top 10 - £10 mods. its a "Broadway" Mirror. find them on ebay, it simply clips onto the standard mirror, not only looks awesome but there so much more rear viewage! Also the Purple interior lights from hong kong!...see how long they last. Also bought purple sidelights that look good, sure a photo will show them laters. As above, you can see the colour difference for the rear quarters - same on the rear window. all in all, im really wanting to go out and buy the stuff i want/need/lust ... Coilovers, New Bumper, Wheels done, etc...but due to the winter i believe will be harsh, i am trying to hold off. ill see how long it lasts! I will make sure i will keep this updated
