cheers tony

player_hater- nice car mate, wheels look nice aswell

LOL I just gave it a good hose down, then wiped over everything with warm soapy water, then wiped it down again with an old (clean) rag, and then used some tyre shine on the black rubber parts, then let it dry for an hour or so...

If you look close enough, the IC piping and strut brace still need a good polish but that can wait til later on.

tire shine :O:O:O:O too oily and with the heat it spreads everywhere and makes an ugly mess. do the washing and wiping part make sure u do a good job cleaning all the grease and oils off and then after blow the engine down with the compressor (be carefull around the electronics) to get rid of excess water build up let it dry up good and then silicone spray it!! trust me its the best and only way it should b done :domokun:

Oh will have to try that one next time. As for the tyre shine, it still looks great now after driving around for the night so maybe its just with different tyre shines. I only used a fairly no name brand one? And not the foamy one lol.

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
