Just bought this puppy last night and yep she's already in pieces lol
She's a 1.3 gx with a couple of little niggles

Currently trying to sort the squeaky wipers and narrowed it down to this bit

Gonna go scrappy and get another one amongst other things
So far I have found
Needs a new heater resistor card
Probably a new speedo, can't seem to get more than one light to work
Possibly a new driveshaft as I think the cv has gone on the drivers side
The temp gauge also doesn't work so I'll get Steve on that lol
Apart from that she's a keeper
Plans are to get her looking a bit something like it and then a 1.6 may be going in...
Got a little update here, fixed all the little niggles
Bought a k&n induction kit for her and whacked her on

Now gearing up the 1.4 engine swap, ideally wanted a 1.6 but it's a mission trying to find one

Had a nice surprise when I looked at removing the radiator

Front cross member is not in a good way but I've already ordered a new one

So yeah with a bit of luck I should have her running a 1.4 next week and with a new cross member lol

Pretty tempted by the sr20 lol
1.4 should be going in as soon as the front cross member is done
Yeep Cross member arrived, Taiwanese beastie

I'm really not impressed at how cheap and pathetic it feels, really don't think she'll handle a sr20. I might ring nissan and see how much a proper one costs
Having a bit go with the grinder, it really is some job getting the old one out lol

Managed to get most of the old one removed and trial fit the new one

She is coming on nicely!
