Hello all

Havn't been on here for a while been busy as usual, but do regret to say that I've just sold my skyline last month but still have it

til next month when my new car arrives I got $8500 trade in for it, I just bought a brand new 2011 Nissan 370Z coupe with 6sp manual in the carbon silver (dark silver)

with the 19inch rays alloys, I'm going to miss the skyline big time sometimes during bad times it was the only reaon why I got up in the morning with the drive to work in it

going to miss the turbo rush as well, but it just got to the stage where I was spending far too much money on it and I am trying to save for a house as well but now thats gone

out the window again with this new car oh well, I think this new car will be lasting me a long long time, but I will always have the good memories of

the skyline, and will always have a place in my heart for one maybe years down the track I might be able to afford another skyline as a weekend car but thats wishful thinking at the moment.

Thanks for all the help and advice that you guys have given me over the years that I've had the skyline.

Thanks again.

All the best with your new replacement.

I'm sure you've got some nice pics to go with those happy driving memories?

I wonder why you'd buy a new 370Z whilst the 370GT is on offer; thus saving some moolah for your house?

Yes I do have a lot of photos of the skyline, in fact probably hundreds of photos

and to answer why I bought the 370Z is I've always been interested in the Z's I was initially looking at

geting a second hand 350Z but decided to bite the bullet and get the latest, also my Dad bought a brand new Z in 1977

the 260Z, so I guess in a way now its my turn to own a Z.

Though I sincerely hope I dont acheive the same outcome he did, he wiped his out 12months later and nearly lost his life

he got t-boned right in the drivers side door, the only thing that saved him was the side intrusion bars in the door that had

just came out as a safety feature back then, I've got a few photos of his stacked Z and believe me it aint pretty, But he's kinda

excited as well as I am that I'm getting a new Z.

    • 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.
