    Black Ek9 on the A55 North Wales

    ...hanging it in gear through a tunnel today. :) Assume it was a genuine '9 though I was in the back seat of a pretty rain covered Avensis at the time.

    HIDs: O/S bulb not cycling high/low beam

    I know this is a slight thread revival but I thought, as the lights now work, it would be useful to state the solution in case anyone has the same problem: Yep, it was the earths. Make sure theyre to bare metal, and then grease the area after fitting the earth to prevent corrosion.

    Headlight Adjustment

    Do you mean that the teeth on the cogs are worn? Remember they're not screws as such...

    Removing coin tray and driver's side vent

    Got this sorted in the daylight. Your best way to attack the job is to remove the large lower panel that wraps underneath the steering wheel. This gives you access to the back of the coin tray/ vent.

    EK9 Type R

    As stated, Champ White is more 'Racing Magnolia' anyway. Ive had two fresh imports now though, and they both came with a fine coating of dock-crust that I couldnt shift with a mitt and bubbles. Halfrauds has started to stock three different types of clay bar kits now. They aint cheap and...

    Mazda MX5 question.

    I'd love an original mx5. Remember reading an interview with a guy in EVO or similar who had imported a small-turbo'd one. Said it was all the car he'd ever need as the 200 odd brake it generated complimented the chassis perfectly. Bottom line as long as its lowered, had roll hoops and some...

    Removing coin tray and driver's side vent

    Hi guys... did a search for this but I'm kinda after more detail than the results gave me. As you can see, my alarm LED has decided it liked the view behind the vent better. Gonna rectify this tomorrow, so can anyone give me any pointers or things to watch out for? I can get quite a lot of...

    traffic police just stopped me

    You may well be offered a speed awareness course. I was at 69 in a 60. Still costs you but it's the points that potentially do more damage on the long run.

    Black or c/w ek9?

    JDM cars should only be bought in white. Fact. :)

    FORZA FANS ... Back me up!!!!!

    Is it only me that likes the fact that hardly anyone knows about the EK9? I was a bit upset when it arrived on GT5... Nah... keep the chavs dreaming of their Corsas...

    HIDs: O/S bulb not cycling high/low beam

    Yeah they are definitely dual units and the ballasts were connected. The guy from accessory zone emailed me earlier saying it was probably badly earthed... as did the mechanic from next door when he asked me how I got on. Will have another go next weekend (I'm a dab hand at bumper/ headlight...

    Respray, your opinion wanted!

    Midnight purple is so synonymous with Nissan that you might as well start putting Nismo parts on it too. It'd just be wrong! The CW looks good but it might look like you were trying to make a 'fake Type R'. If you were going for white I'd use Grand Prix white off the S2000 and NSX...

    My Mugen RNR's :-)

    Tell you what... that looks beautiful! Always turned my nose up slightly at phoenix yellow '9s but with those rims the car looks really cohesive. As stated before, what offset/size are these and is your suspension stock?

    Saving for an EK9!

    I saved up because I hate debt. Took two years but was worth it!

    HIDs: O/S bulb not cycling high/low beam

    Hi people. Spent the afternoon fitting an aftermarket HID kit (Accessory Zone H4-s) to my ek9. They look fab but as the title says, the O/S bulb is stuck on main beam (Or indeed it could be angled up and stuck on dip). I've used the search function (no joy) and indeed Google but most HID...
