Yep UK car, Full Nissan History, already HPI checked and everything looks fine so will be taking a look today. I think I might move for it if it all feels OK. Thanks for the feedback!
try and find out if the brake pads have been changed, if not i would budget to change these all round (not too costly, did mine with ebc redstuff for £100), the oem ones can tend to disintergrate with age
martin spent quite while cleaning the wheels up when he got them, flatting the rims and polishing them
never use wheel cleaner as this will stain the lips (they're either too acid or alkaline)
dont use a sponge to clean as this will scratch, use a wash mitt
i use an ab lance with super snow foam this allows the cleaner to dwell without touching the wheels
dont allow dirt to sit for too long as this will stain
a good wheel wax helps with the cleaning
you could strip back the lacquer and use a good wheel wax like poorboys
mine aren't lacquered, they just take a little more maintenance
nitromors is aggressive stuff, def dont use this with the tyres on the rims, nitromors will blister rubber, its applied to expand rubber for certain applications
these things are normally a cheap resistor which alters the signal from the maf to the ecu, giving a false reading for either airflow or air temp
99% of the time they dont do a lot, worst case scenario, long term, they can cause the ecu to overfuel causing pinking or under fuel causing the valves to burn out
"I had a friend who had a similar problem with a relay in a IPDM in a Nissan truck. Even though the relays are not listed as separate parts, they snap in and out easily. He was able to adapt an individual relay from a different IPDM. "
hmm........ so the whole unit doesnt need replacing
