So Im pulling up the other day and putting the hand-brake-that-is-really-a-foot-brake on and feel a bit more resistance.

I look down and see an orange wire has looped down too far and become disconnected from the immense tange above it.

I've no clues as to where is plugs in, anyone have any ideas?

its the wire that holds your belly button in. If you remove it you are at a very large risk of having one or both or your arse cheeks fall off :P

(ie - NFI - there are a LOT of orange wires under there. Does it have any power running to it? If so, chase it back to the fuse box and then read the cover to see what it does)

if it's under that part, it's probably stereo, AC, window demist or dif lock buttons, check if they all still work.

Also check your brake lights still work, and your handbrake light comes on on the dash

Aha!

So on a night drive tonight I notice it a little darker than normal in the cab.

I look at my dash... all lights seem to be going... air con yes

stereo yeah

Hrm. I know whats missing. an iridescent blue circle in the form of a boost gauge

The bloody light for the boost gauge.

....

At least is wasn't the afro comb holder. *phew*

glad you found it

just imagine the furore the blokes at Nissan japan would be in if they heard the afro comb was malfunctioning

not good, not good in the slightest

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
