  1. Saw these on a Camry with carbon vinyl wrap bonnet and roof the other day. That is where those things belong other than a bin lol. Even my wife laughed at it.
  2. Bumping this thread as I have recently had the dreaded intermittent ac issue which of course started happening on a 40 deg. day and I would like to share my findings. The ac used to work fine, then 1 day decided it had enough of life and the compressor wouldn't kick in although idle up was still working. 2 days later it started working again, lasted a week and then quit for good. I took the car to an ac place to check it out, was a little low on gas so got it recharged, it started working but was intermittent, ac guy suspected pressure switch so I went and got one from an a32 maxima and fitted it and refilled the gas again. Ac worked ok for about a month, had a few intermittent episodes but ok mostly. The other day the ac quit again and this time wouldn't come back to life. would work fine if bridged at relay or pressure switch, got my multimeter out and started testing, seemed to be no signal to the pressure switch to activate the compressor. As previously mentioned in this thread, I started looking at the thermistor as this cuts the compressor in and out. I decided to plug in a spare one I had from an s15 I had stripped. I was a bit hesitant as I thought I would have to pull the dash out. As it turns out it is accessible by just removing the glove box lid and backing plate. Within 10 minutes I was able to unplug the thermistor and then plug in the spare I had from the s15 (plug was different so I just wired it in). Ac started working again. In my case I believe it was just a bad connection at the plug because when I plugged the original back in, everything was fine. Had I needed to replace the thermistor I would have left the original where it was and just put the new one in a different spot on the core. You can get access to the core by removing the 2 screws that hold the ac power module thingy in and remove it. Through that hole you can reach in with your fingers and push the thermistor into the core, I would then drill a small hole through the plastic casing to feed the plug through and then use some silicon to seal it back up. So for anyone else that has this issue with their ac compressor not kicking in and everything else checks out ok, give this a go. Doesn't take long at all to plug in another thermistor and test. You could probably get one out of just about any Nissan of the era (e.g a32/33 maxima, s14/15)that uses a similar climate control system for testing purposes b4 u go ordering brand new parts. Having working icy cold ac again is bloody brilliant

  4. Price as per forum rules and location may help
  5. Your speedo is probably being optimistic at high speed
  6. Running on methanol
  7. Weather should be good over there now. Time to go to the track and show us some time slips. We can sit here and argue for an eternity or u can do a few a few passes and u will then either be crowned the king of -5's or be flamed for the rest of your days. Good luck either way [emoji3]
  8. ^I seriously doubt they will be anywhere near as good as re050a. They have a hardness rating of 140 which is quite soft and come out as factory tyres on many performance cars such as ss commondores all the way through to some Ferrari's, believe it or not. They where my favourite street tyre until I started tracking. There is also many different versions of them and they have been around for quite a while now but are still in production. Anyways, they are an awesome tyre, especially when you get them cheap. You definitely scored when you bought that pair. I suppose if the kuhmos are no good, you can always just skid them out of existence
  9. My a1rm's are also pretty quiet. They do start to squeal a bit after a track day but then settle down again after a few days of street driving. quite dusty though.
  10. Welcome. Nice pickup for $500 and I like what you've done with it so far. Keep the updates coming.
  11. Fair enough, thanks for the feedback Daz
  12. Double post. Network fail[emoji107]
  13. Bad experience? I was considering taking my shitty 33 gtst there for a few minor repairs as most of the cars I have seen come out of there seem to have been done well. Pm me if you prefer.
