GappySmeg Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Continuing apace with fitting my new head unit... learnt a few new things... 1) the electrical connectors used by Nissan are the stupidest, most difficult to disconnect, pieces of crap of I've ever encountered! (This is my first ever Jap car BTW) 2) the extra weight on the boot lid caused by a thin layer of frost, is enough to turn it into a highly effective guillotine!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 stoopid connectors and odd looking ribbon looms yes, but everything electrical still works on my 92' Sunny winter daily - bet many other manufactures of the same era cant boast the same ie your astras, rover 200's escorts and 309's.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimboy2 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 There is a weight in the boot lid too. Whip off the inside panel and remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 There is a weight in the boot lid too. Whip off the inside panel and remove it. What's the purpose of the weight? Does removing it affect car handling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisL Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I should hope not mate its only a couple of kilos and I have taken a lot more weight than that out of mine hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Is its purpose just as weight or a dampener to reduce vibrations which i have read elsewhere on here? Edited January 17, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
