placed the battery....no joy. Got a new charger (the orignial was giving the correct voltage) and it's working. Computers/electronics can f**k off to f**k.
that, or the filament has broken and shorted from the brake circuit over to the tail light circuit, and it's back feeding. Used to get it on 200sx's, and the pop-up lights would operate as you braked. Air brakes :D
oil filter is at a strange awkward angle, need a cup type filter tool. the rest is simple. well worth stripping and cleaning the egr valve and j shaped boost pipe

Doesn't take too long. Half hour and a bit of sealer. Feel free to call. Don't do PM's

no experience......except the half dozen engines I've rebuild after bits of weld falling off the inside of manifolds, destroying turbos, and sending bits of metal into the valves
oh please don't dare to lecture me on this stuff. I've fitted more than you could possibly imagine. I wrote the book on the correct way to do the manifold conversion to a 200sx s13 (relocating the ABS pump as it hit.......etc) One of their UK sellers gave me bits for free to trial fit to get it...
how long is a piece of string?
I've seen stock power cars completely grenade a gearbox, and I've seen 250-300bhp run just fine for a very long time. It's entirely down to how it's driven really
