Sure is.. was happy with today because the sun was finally out + wasn't raining.. meant I could atleast give it a bit of a go when I got it..

Hopefully weather will be decent i'll try and get some good photos and put them up..

already scraped the front bar on the driveway - was waiting for this - so might have to find the driveway from hell thread.. mines a beauty!

Goto also put some decent petrol in it.. but for the time being i'm happy - think it's got caltex in it..

only had it 5 mins when a blue VL turbo decided to have a go.. just cruised.. can't be bothered wasting my time - wanted to let it warm up.. lol - just smiled and kept goin

Didn't realise the front bar was quite that special - will have to take more care getting it up my driveway..

If you like the look of it, take very good care of it, they only offered that option for 1998 40th anniversary editions and only a few purchasers took the option. Most of the 40's have the standard Series 2 front bar.....

edit: I believe nissan called that trim level (with the GTR look alike spoilers) the GTS25t Type-MR. I have the Nissan brochure around here somewhere.... Not to be mistaken for the 280 Type-MR of course (2.8litre GTSt)......

edit2: someone with Nissan FAST software can confirm that :P

^^ Cheers for the info mate.. anything extra on what the 40th anniv cars had would be great!..

Just got home from driving - been taking it pretty easy, really want to give it a good service - + had the g/f in the car with me..

Went well, once again - front bar scraped a tiny bit.. so i'm going to have to work on entry.. took it at a good angle - fine getting out - just getting in that's a pain..

great car - love it.. goes weel - + it's so cold outside tonight & with jap radio (e.g. no radio) was just lovin listenin to it spool.. than release..

awesome ride..

time for sleep..

    • 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.
