Interesting to hear... I know about 3 months ago my rear left drum was locked (I actually drove with it for 1 month cause I didn't know any better) and I got my mechanic friend to adjust my hand-brake since it was 9+ clicks haha.. When he unmounted the tire and uncovered the drums to work with...

ok, well of course that 1% was correct, it's not 18, but it's at least 6 lol... Anyways, it wasn't the battery, the chokes in the carb throat were frozen solid haha... plus i had fuel lines that decided to freeze! anyways, it's back and kickin'... I'm definately investing in both fuel...

How ironic, my freaking car won't start now :mad: :mad: :mad: There were some pretty crazy winds last night and now there's a LOT of snow in the engine bay. I tried clearing some of it off the wires and such but it still won't turn over. I think my battery might not have enough cold cranking...

The remote on from the back of the head unit is usually a blue wire (it probably varies from the manufacturers) but as a last resort, try using the thin red wire going into your head unit and see if it comes to life... Double check all your fuses are in snug and are not blown!! And thanks...

Haha, I don't sand blast, I do it alllll by hand.... lmao, well, with machinery in hand :laugh: I don't sand blast though.. I use a rather large sander and a grinder for them loverly pits of rust... It's a little more fun then sand blasting imo... You really respect your work after haha! I can't...

Lmao, if I had my own garage my car would be done haha... Stupid Canadian weather... In the summer I'm gunna be spamming this place with pictures and such :) Until then I think I might figure out how to become a member on these forums! Any deals for foreigners :wasntme: :laugh:

Sorry, there must've been a misunderstanding... There's two power lines going into the head unit... Red and Orange. Orange is constant, and Red is only used when the unit is turned on. I don't mean hook it to the power cable coming from the battery to the amp. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Not true m8, the red isn't constant power, orange is :) I thought so at first but I conducted some tests and you can actually use the red power as a remote turn-on! That's of course if you don't have a remote turn-on cable from your headunit... If you have one, just ignore all this haha..

http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b316/Burfoot/Enough%20snow%20already/ 50cm in total last night, there was already about 10-20 on the ground before... check it out, it's pretty wild! I'll enlarge the pics later, but you'll get the idea haha

oo goodie haha... Are you seriously considering wiring this yourself when you don't know the difference between a power/lead on/ground wire? :grinning: We'll help you out m8! 1. Thick red wire = Power cable, usually runs from the battery to the trunk and has a fuse inline somewhere...

Well, I'll tell you what I will do... I'll keep a tabs on the wires that we especially grungy or the ones that were problematic and I'll report them here eh? That way you can check your car, or if you have similar problems you'll know what to target... but since we just got pummeled with 50cm of...

Awesome, just keep an eye on your temp gauge hehe... Canadian Tire + Part Source = same thing hehe... Only difference is that part source is more geared (no pun intended) towards cars :) Unfortunately I'm not 100% sure if you can get new quarter panels (especially from the dealer) nevermind the...

Aww boooo, it's already sold http://www.allstarautosales.com/autolnk.html Oh well.. $2700 is a little out of my range anyways... I'll stick with what I have =) Just a random tidbit of info, I read back and saw you asked where I got Micra parts from, I've got connections really (my...

I look forward to it hehe.. how much are they asking!! I might invest in it and use the one I got now as a parts car lol. or a practice drift car/field beater hehe OR I'll convince my bud to buy it cause he's got a good chunk of money and no car atm... I would love to have another Micra to...

Yea, that was my attitude at first "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" ... but I do enjoy electronics and wiring, and since there are so few wires, I figured it would be a good learning experience :) atm it's not top priority or anything, but it's still something I would enjoy doing!

so i got my k10 ma12 to 150km/h (no it was not illegal :wasntme: ) and needless to say the car's aerodynamics are poo. The only reason I went these speeds was a)i was going downhill on a 4-lane empty highway b)i just got my struts replaced and c)i got a wheel balance .... so in conclusion, after...

check to make sure you got your speakers wired properly and that you're matching the ohm loads properly (ie if the unit can only handle 4-8 ohm, don't try and run it on 2 ohm) your unit might have a safety circuit that'll kick in when it notices the speakers are pulling too much current...

yea, i've got the same problem... i replaced my headunit and blam, my cig lighter has no power... i haven't bothered crawling under to give it a visual inspection, but i guarantee that one of those wires are tied into the headunit's wiring!

That's good news :blush: I'll definately re-use what I've got instead of hunting down parts lol Brilliant idea, it actually crossed my mind a couple times.. this way the car would still be usable if I had an emergency or something (like getting hungry and needing food hehe) I'll...

Yea, it definitely wouldn't be a crap job with the wiring... Everything would be covered, zip-tied and out of the way, maybe even colourful haha. I'm not sure if I can get the proper replacement clips though... hmm... Well, if worse comes to worse I can just use the old clips no? Just clean them...
