NA rocks :P but lack of turbo push gets annoying only sumtimes. Problems you should look at is the history of the car like accidents, genuine km's, respray jobs and stuff like that. Some ppl find out one day that their cars arent so genuine which is quite unfortunate! The RB is a very strong engine and is great, so good i know a bimmer that has one under the bonnet!

I must admit that RB engine is very solid block no frizzles (is that a word???)

Let me put it this way my 1994 R33 never had engine problem, no leak of any kind. once I was worried that there is not even one drop of oil in my drive way :mad:

if you can do the compression test while it is under warranty. but I tell you SGIO or RAC wont do it cuz RB engine's compression test is hard to do.... well that;s what they told me.

cheers

The RB series is a pretty solid engine range. The R31's had RB30DE's same as VL's. My old VL went past 200k on the clock and its going. I treated it like a whore (my first car) and it still loves it. VLs were widely known for having the RB series engine in it built by Nissan.

    • 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.
