  1. Same. It's the oil temp and oil pressure guages that need you to keep an eye on.
  2. I watched my car come off the boat. After the car had been sitting for 6 months the idiots who drove them off thought it would be fun to race it with another Silver GTR to it's parking spot. No respect!
  3. Took a car over recently. I put my GTR over in May and they hardly looked at the thing... easier than getting the modified Commodore over. Still had to get child restraints, unleaded fuel filler neck, etc... When I put another car over just a couple of months ago, things have now changed. You now have to pick up a check list from the DOT that and engineer has to tick and sign off. You still have to do things like side intrusion bars, child restraints, flat drivers mirror but you also have to have an O2 test done on a dyno. Seat belts themselves have to not only be in good condition but also have a particular approval number on them as well as brake lines. I had to replace all of these@ It's all just rubbish red tape to stop people importing. The car was a van for crying out loud! The trick is to find a good engineer that is well respected by the pits - Welshpool are great. A bunch of no nonsense guys (good on 'em). Once this was done it cruised over the pits.
  4. This may be it: The wire going to it is yellow and black striped? And it has a rubber cap that comes off? It is quite possibly and indicator for the timing light. It has been put there to easily check the timing of the car without having to look for an ignition lead. Now I'm not sure exactly how to hook it up. I assume you give the normal power to the timing light and then hook up the connector to the bit inside. One thing I can say is that it is not a Knock Sensor. These are found on the inlet side of the engine. Your car would be coming up with fault code 34 (from memory). It is not an O2 Sensor either as this plugs into the exhaust, and we all know what buring plastic smells like! Nissan, in there infinite wisdom, made all these things with clips on them so they wouldn't run loose in the engine bay. I will try and find where it clips in so you can give it a home. (Somewhere near the strut tower, behind the pwr str tank) What ever you do, don't get rid of it. It is there for a reason. Just tuck it out of the way for the moment. Should make checking the timing a bit easier. What do ya think?
