Ive just started having ths issue myself. Original resistor blew after a big soaking when i got stuck in a bog hole and flooded the poor nav. No surprises as to what caused the resistor to corrode and blow. Then a the replacement oem resistor blew after about 6 months. I just chucked an ebay...

OP where are you buying your penrite? It goes on sale at supercheap and co regularly. I pick up 10L for around $65 on sale. Ive never bought it not on sale. And i change oil every 6-8 thou km

Looks great. Ive always been cautious with the no name head units. Usually have all the features but slow. Sloppy UI. And buggy. My experience was from old systems a decade ago. The gap may have closed alot since then.

Pulled the starter. 3 of the 4 brushes were seized in their holders. Bit of corrosion from their swim. And the commutator was a bit ugly, uneven wear from stuck brushes and dirty Heaps of meat left on everything. So hand polished the commutator with wet dry. Freed up the brushes. Cleaned oit...

Nice work mate. All coming together it seems. That first drive is going to feel great

Strange things be happening. After a fuel refill it began starting normally. Then today left me high and dry. Absolutely nothing when i turn the key. Hooked up a jump starter and still nothing Bump started with next to no effort. So im thinking that sounds more and more like starter motor?

Yeah runs perfect once running. Ive got it starting without throwing a cel pretty much every time now. Using a little throttle. Im leaning towards starter motor. A quick look on ebay there is a pretty wide variation in prices. Anyone have luck with the cheaper options or stick to oem...

Was all going good. Then started getting the hard starting a few days ago. Tacho going erratic. CEL coming on once started. Can get it to start quicker without throwing the CEL if i use a little throttle while cranking over. Today i pulled the ecu. Cleaned again and got some clear laquer coat...

Whats postage to Melbourne? Does anyone know will it fit zd30?

Ah ok cheers. Yeah i noticed the lacquer start degrading from all the contact cleaner. Ill leave it be and try avoid the big puddles haha

Done the test run this morning. Running like a champ! Thanks for the help guys. Done a search on the forum about how to reset airbag light. Success as well! Love the forum. Cant believe how the ecu has no sealing at all. Tempted to pull it back out and pour resin over the board. Thoughts? Not...

Thanks for the tip rumpig. Got the ecu and the airbag ecu out. They were both covered in a layer of fine dried mud. Pretty piss poor of nossan not to seal the ecu i reckon. I know its not meant to go swimming. But for a 4x4 and how piss poor the sealing was these things happen. For the sake of...

Hard to beat a Rio and cerato for warranty. Get it a year old and might get a deal. I just got a year old honda jazz for my mum. Grouse little car. Amazed at the cabin space for such a small car. And boot is bigger than some cars in the next size class up. Rear seats are trick as. Fold dead...
