Hello fellow SAUWA'ers

It's been just over a week since I arrived in Japan, and many would think that there would be a lot of nice cars here.

I'm staying in Kochi at the moment, and i bet u dont know where that is. It's in the Shikoku Island of Japan, the one shaped a bit like australia, the small one, etc etc... It's a bit smaller than Perth, but hell, the roads are so narrow that many times a car has to give way to an oncoming car to avoid collision.

I'm here for work purposes and also to visit my grandparents (my dad's side, my mum's side is situated in Hiroshima). I work from sunrise to sunset 5 days a week and sleep around 9pm to wake up by around 6-6.30am, a far cry from my leisurely days after my exams when i sleep around 5am and wake up around lunchtime.

Ok, enough of my personal life =P ... cars? I would say around 60-80% of the cars (in Kochi anyway) are those small boxy cars like Honda Life, Daihatsu Mira, Sirion, Micra etc etc. Theyre all riced up big time as well, many have body kits, lowered, sideskirts, loud mufflers (doubt they would have exhaust systems) and white headlights. I have seen a few skylines, ranging from sleek black R32s to white R33 GTR, blue R34 GTR and quite a few 4 door R32 and R33s. I think it's just too difficult to drive a big car. My workmate drives a lowered-below-the-subway Silvia S13, he said cheap ones can be found anywhere between $3000 to $8000 (depends obviously).

I dont have much net access here, I'm at the local library and msn doesnt even work (not even those web messenger things) so my posts will be few and far between.

Drive safely!!! :D

Y@$

    • 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.
