• Broken headlight fixing needs to be repaired replaced.
• Sort out grubby interior
• Repair/Repaint bumpers previous owners must of thought it was a dodgems car (scuff marks)
• Figure out a way to get original nissan alarm/immobiliser working inc. LED inside. (to be binned)
• Sort out speedo lights (think one has blown - no good for speed cameras at night)
• Change some interior pieces make it look pretty!
• Usual service etc.
• Remove Side Bump Strips.
• Remove Rear Wiper - Blanking Plug for now. (need to sort out some smoothing)
• DEBADGE IT! (only the nissan badges remain - for now)

[Shaun]

thas what the other guysaidbout the culla on his

other guy?! lol didn't even think i would be in this situation with a K11 in the first place. but that 40cc and fuel injection makes a hell of a difference!

[Shaun]

oh and on another note i may have to spend £16 on an iso adaptor as i can't live without music in the car and eBay takes ages!

[pjg1979]

When I had my stereo I just cut the connector block off and used a terminal block, just so I knew which cable did what really. Welldone on getting yourself a Super S though.

Well looking at the list of planned mods you're obviously gonna be spending on this k11, so you're gonna be putting money into two cars. There's a name for people like you... lucky ####ers.

[markbognor]

Looks really smart Shaun, good luck with it!

Noooooo! if you noticed it's mainly repair/replace jobs nothing really expensive! just needed something to run around in

[Shaun]

Looks really smart Shaun, good luck with it!

Thankyou! gonna take off the wretched rear wiper tomorrow - what were they thinking having it across like that?!

[R-REG-SR]

aye that wiper across like that, saved me when a scaffold bar hit my rear glass and the wiper got the hit instead of the glass

Yep that scaffold bar was like "you ugly wiper!" *smack*

Update: First Mechanical Problem.
Gearstick/ Gear selector?
seems you have to manually pull it all over the place, when in neutral sitting still if you move your gear stick towards 1st and release should bounce back to middle?
same happens if you push it over towards 5th.
mine just sits there stuck, also seems to be some sounds when selecting gears sometimes like a spring or an obstruction?
Any ideas from people that have played around this area before?
Do NOT want a garage monkey touching it.

[6.5x55]

That happened to my K11, stick flopped to one side. It's a spring underneath the car that holds the gear stick in the upright position.

Ah ok but see mine doesn't flop (lol)
it needs to be manually moved everywhere!
but will check this now thankyou!

[Shaun]

Update:
Overspray on the bonnet has been removed thanks to Mckenziecz (again) which means i can cross this off my list!


(little blurry sorry but shiny!)


Shiny side!

sounds most likey to be dried/seized gear selector linkages coupled with usual snapped return spring. take apart the selector link bushes for a good clean/regrease. rehook return spring if snapped. if there's any play in the bushes, i'd replace with a good condition linkage cos worn bushes cause difficulty in selecting 1st/2nd gear and gearstick rattle

Oh dear... i hear the rattle sometimes!

Thankyou!

[Shaun]

Right went out and took some photos, Led for immobiliser on inside center console doesn't even twitch probably because the alarm etc had been cut. CV boot Mckenziecz is gonna help with.
Overview:


Leak from rocker cover? or inspection cover?


Two connections that go nowhere:


Alarm/immobiliser (not connected - someone had cut it!)


Power for alarm:


Shabby headlight fix:


Fried and re-wired fuses (how could i tell which is which?)


CV boot gone:




And finally a good bit:

Holts Tyre Weld/Spray Thing! Just in case a nail is unfriendly. Thanks for looking.

[frank]

those fuses shaun are, top down
injectors
alternator
r/h headlamp
l/h headlamp
and that one connector is the power steering switch aint it

Ah thanks Frank, that would make sense as i don't have it so i can leave that be. do you think it would be worth trying to rebuild that fuse block section? it just looks nasty.

someone,s done a proper job there shaun , i would leave it personally

Ok, do you have any thoughts on the non blinking Led in the car? does it's power come straight from the alarm unit in the bay?

[Shaun]

Okay still need some help with the alarm and internal led does anyone think Nissan would be cheap enough for this? lol
Also took bump strips off yesterday and found nothing works when removing the residue so looks shabby
Here's a picture of it after a wash. Only the one as I'm on my iPhone as we don't have any Internet at the moment.

[frank]

its a retrofit alarm aint it shaun ? if its been disconnected just bin it

[Shaun]

What do you mean by retrofit? it is Nissan just not connected. would still like an alarm in the future so maybe your right and as it's doing nothing right now might as well bin it

[Shaun]

Update:
Firstly got a Mushroom filter on now instead of the standard air box, will plan an actual cold air feed for it when i have finished some other bits, and got a new headunit in the car (Free upgrade from a friend) no pictures of these yet.

Secured a crack in the front bumper the previous owner(s) had left me:


Got a couple of friends on the back of the car:



Removed side strips but am left with a misty clearcoat


Removed all that bloody heatshielding! rusted as hell 2hrs for one spring!



As he stands now:



Got loads planned, but being a little hush right now

[frank]

What do you mean by retrofit? :

i doubt if it was factory fitted shaun (optional extra probably eh)
