Re: Bonnet Gas struts

As others have said, very useful addition. Hold the bonnet securely. Easy to fit. Cheap to buy. I find the oem stay gets in the way when working under the bonnet, but these don't at all.

Long story short, buy them, fit them. No more to be said 👍

Re: Lowering my QQ

I understand why you'd want to lower a car, I've done it myself in the past, but not with a car like the qq. It kind of defeats the purpose of having a car like the qq, higher driving position etc Anyway, it's your car so up to you. I would use eibach springs if I was to do it. https://www.eibachsho...

Re: Why do we need dashcams ?

If nissan were to implement a system that could record and basically replace any dashcam then I'm sure it would be an added extra at a ridiculously high cost, which would massively exceed the cost of just buying a dedicated dashcam. Myself and many others have hard wired their cams so that they come...

Re: J11b Headlight replacement (Adaptive Lighting System)

Seems like a hell of a lot of cost and effort for very little gain.

Just get some decent led bulbs and make sure they are properly aligned.

Re: Led map lights blowing fuse.

Thanks Gel.

Surely if they required resistors wouldn't that apply to the number plate bulbs, rear map lights etc etc also?

Yeah I tried a 15amp fuse in place of the original 10 and they blew that too.

Led map lights blowing fuse.

I've swapped the number plate lights to led and they work fine. The same bulbs in the front map lights don't even light up and blow the fuse straight away. Can't seem to figure out why. I have led in the boot and in the interior rear lights so it's not as though the car doesnt agree with led bulbs. ...

Re: Wheel colour change

I think the flash chrome would actually look really good with the Ink blue, it would make the colour really stand out.

I'm looking at getting my wheels powder coated soon too as the diamond cut wheels have alot of the dreaded "white worm". But I'll be going for a dark anthracite.

Re: Horn

Fitted the piaa slim dual tone horns today. They fitted in nice and snug, all that was needed was an extra hole drilled in the original bracket to take the 2nd horn.

Sounds a million times better, I'm no longer embarrassed to honk the horn!

Re: Phone calls via Bluetooth problem

Is your phone software up to date? Not sure if that will make a difference but just a thought.
