my car is goin to panel beater next week and im deciding whether to get the arial taken out and smoothed over, i dont realy need it cos i have the arial for the tv, but im just wanna know if this arial controlls the radio as well or is that only the car arial that gets the radio reception... i have no idea...

also im htinkin of shaving my door handles, is there alot of work involved for this, do they have to respray the whole doors?

any info would be great...

cheers...ben.

the antenna at the rear is for radio, it would be a good idea to keep it, jsut cut the top stem of the stem and glue into the top with sellys no more gaps ;P

shaved doors, well you have to weld a piece into the spot where the handle was, reconfiger the wire inside to get it to work without handles(as they levers) and you would need to snad and bog it down alot to make look flat(whant welding it bents/warps the metal from the heat of welder)

your car would look different and be unique, but it will cost you ALOT to get done. I would buy spare doors and have them painted just incase you need to change doors, or you need parts :)

get the interior the same colour as the car at the same time, its worth it. and looks better. its old but it looks better when all the same colour. most of the parts will be off anyway.

yeah i never use my arial also. its just a connection that u dont connect when hooking up a head unit to make it not work i think.

as for the doors...well i always wanted to bog up my key holes and make em flush but i heard that because its bog on plastic there might be a chance of cracking or paint discolour or peeling later on. who knows....i might give it a wack one day

    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
