I'm not an MOT tester but PistonHeads has been full of talk about it recently.
PISTONHEADS MOT THREAD
Disclaimer:
I do realise PistonHeads has a lot of scaremongering and certainly dont believe if...
Did you try searching "painting headlights"? I found loads of threads. Personally I wouldnt do it but you did ask!
Unless the car is obviously modified to spend the majority of its time on the track, the seats must be able to be fixed in two or three different positions. According to the internet rumour mill...
Not a massive issue if you have some fabrication skills, or know somebody who can. Nobody makes repair panels for these cars although the sills are fairly easy to make, the arches are a little...
I tend to press the pedal down with a length of wood wedged from the Xmember under the seat. True, if you are doing all the brake pipes it is pretty pointless but if you're only changing the 4...
If you keep the brake pedal depressed when removing the brake lines, you will only loose a tiny bit of fluid, the master cylinder will stay at its current level. Its the basic principle of hydraulic...
A few hundred quid to a few grand. Depends how bad it is, how much you want removing, how much you will remove, how much you want masking, how many repairs etc etc etc.
A good place to start would be a wheel alignment. For a proper chassis check, it'll need mounting on a jig (or at least on sill clamps on a bench) and then measuring properly. Why do you need it...
Probably the pin has worn and eroded the hole in the hinge. They are (or at least they were) available from Nissan on their own, without buying the doors! I seem to remember you can buy replacement...
Have any of you guys tried opening the doors whilst the car is jacked up by the rad X-member/ tow hook?
My dad has a diesel one as his cheap smoke, its done nearly 300,000 miles and the biggest repair we've done was fitting a S/H rear axle beam as his had rusted through! Not sure how much longer it...
Early galvanising was a lot less sophisticated than the modern day process, older galvanised cars will be prone to rust for a number of reasons...
Zinc coating is a sacroficial protection, so it can...
Make sure you've got your credit card with you. it wont be cheap! Let us know how much, I think its a bout £70 a section...
As Johnny put it, your posts were always entertaining and you'll be missed but the door is always open! Good luck with everything and make sure you stop by every now and then.:thumbs:

Best case scenario, worst case, head gasket or water pump (very rare) failure.
Thats the one I thought of when you said you'd been caught. It was publicised for almost a year in the local papers, not much help for you out-of-towners though!
My sat nav has tried to get...
There's a couple near me too, as has been said earlier, its to stop people using small minor roads (usually rural villages) as rat-runs.
No idea on what the penalties for using them are but if...
I had my first S13 around 1992/93 so 10 years later...
They present different dangers, the fibres embed into the lung tissue, the dust from the resins irritates the lung lining.
Thats my understanding.
Exactly the same problems with glass fibre.
I've got a Citroen Dispatch and its got to be the worst vehicle I've ever owned. Absolutely no power, struggles to hit 70, drives horrible, unreliable, terrible security (the locks pop out...
They're all we use to take stripes/decals & trim tape off. You need to have the drill spinning as fast as possible, we use a dedicated high-speed air drill specifically for this, apply very little...
2 S13's, 1 S13a & 1 S14 (owned for 13 years!)
Yes, but a stock SR exhaust isn't designed to maximise power, its designed to keep the noise down!:wack:
