  1. Thanks for the ideas. Will have a go at cleaning the contacts. Thought it was odd, did try the motor off the reg with no load too. But perhaps the contacts are that bad it can't even turn the motor in the up rotation
  2. N15 Sentra Left front electric window will go down but won't go up from either master switch or the left front switch. -Confirmed button down vs button up there is +12v or -12v at the plug for the motor (Two pin plug looks to just reverse polarity) -Grabbed a second hand motor and plugged it in - still no good -Jumped the second hand one off a battery and confirmed the motor does actually move both ways. What on earth have I missed? Something common on Nissans that is causing this?
  3. Couldn't find Prius engine with ITBs in here though
  4. One final addition that's been on the wanted to do list for years. Previous owner had put some horrible silver foil tape on the bumper to cover some damage and it wasn't pretty (much like most of the car up close lol)
  5. Finished the CF plenum project months ago, looks alot better from a distance thanks to a few errors in the final resin/sand/clearcoat process. Even survived the heat of a trackday.
  6. Did actually finish up the airbox - just dont have any finished photos. Incorporated a duct behind the bumper too. Anyway, latest time filler is a carbon plenum back half. Old one was a stock piece with a patch welded in to allow room for aftermarket trumpets (clearance issues for cylinder one). Very much early stages here but basic shape came out nice. Used a similar technique as last time - expanding foam covered in fibreglass then body filler for final shaping. Most of the shape in this is still the original plenum. Scratches are just from resting it on a workbench when taking it out of the mould. Still needs a sand and another layer of resin so no issue there. Plus trimming etc
  7. Our race from os drag day https://www.instagram.com/p/CIuwCbxnQCG/?igshid=v11qyj100gqo
  8. Still to do a third layer to hide a few mistakes, a good resin coat to sand / clear plus some tidying up but it coming together.
  9. Used some of the 3M Super 77 rarher than resin to hold the first layer in place. Boy oh boy that stuff is tacky! Have to be careful haha
  10. Had a go last night at doing the upper half. Decided to just do two layers to feel things out incase I screwed up prep work and it wouldn't release... But it's off safely. Few errors and some flaws but learning as I go
  11. Wax bottle said 5-7 coats for first time use so will get my Mr Miyagi on! Guess more sanding is tonights plan then ha
  12. Hmmm good point. Might hit those with the block and round them off some more if that's going to make it easier for me.
  13. This was a project from back in April's lockdown. Cut apart a stock grille and fibreglassed it up. Foolishly never took photos of it without filler or paint.
  14. Just made a purchase of some CF cloth, resin and assorted supplies. Going to try an airbox for starters, stand by for fail pics. Edit: Planning on making it in two pieces. Not setup for vacuum bagging, am planning on laying the CF much like what the guys did with the carbon 240z mentioned earlier. Plug(?) below of what I'll be making it over. Photo pre final sand/clear coat. Spent waaay too long making that out of MDF, expanding foam, fiberglass and bog so hopefully doesn't get destroyed lol.
