  1. Check my earlier post on this. I loosen up the black plastic connector that clamps around the column. Adjust it to touch the back of the wheel. If the horn works good after, cruise should work too.
  2. Found the problem with it. The pink and white wire goes to the handle and grounds out to turn the light. Not that bad to fix.
  3. What trips the rear cargo light to come on when the hatch is open? Sometimes it comes on and sometimes it dont and will flicker when driving on occasion. Driving me nuts and want to fix it before I rip it out.
  4. Just bought the Exedy brand clutch from amazon of all places. 126 bucks with no tax and free shipping. Thanks for all the info.
  5. I'm needing to replace my clutch and I'm finding on rockauto.com that there is alot of different brands. They start from 107 bucks all the way to 500. I don't want junk but don't want to break the bank. Any thoughts?
  6. Mine was doing the same thing. Turned out to be the copper ring on the back of the steering wheel was not touching the little copper pins on the steering column. If you pull the column cover off you'll can see if there touching.
  7. Are the two hoses that go to the accordion tube for the air intake breathers for the valve covers? Want to make a custom air intake so could I just put a breather filter on them instead of running them back into the motor.
  8. Check the strut rod to be sure it is locating the lca in the right position. Take measurements to a common point of the frame from each lca to make sure there even.
  9. Check out www.rockauto.com they have some rubber products.
  10. I have a lift and a couple of transmission jacks. I guess I'll install some headers and weld up a exhaust while I'm there. Restoring a couple of cars so this might take a while.
  11. far as i know the clutch is stock. I know when my brother had it, he usually took off in second gear. He really sucked at driving a 5speed. I knocked over a second off his quarter mile time in his mustang cobra when we used to go and test and tune.
  12. I was thinking maybe rear main leaking was a possibility
  13. Hey everyone, I noticed today on the interstate pulling a hill that the clutch is slipping some. If the cruise is set, it will jump up a 1k on the tach. From a dead stop it's grabs really good. It slid my sub box against the hatch. There's no chatter and it's not jumpy taking off just slipping around 65mph(3000k). Any suggestions?
  14. Is there a fasten seat belt light on the dash flashing when you turn the key? My 95 does and thats what I use as a timer to start the truck. Gives the fuel pump time to cycle on and off and it starts a lot faster that way
  15. Thanks for the info. The white plastic internals were all broken up but I had all the pieces and used fiberglass and resin to rebuild it all. Horn was working somewhat until I noticed the black collar on the steering column that has the brass connectors that ride on the back of the wheel were not touching very well. Adjusted everything and now the horn works really good and the cruise control will set without having to beat on the bottom of the wheel.
  16. I checked the refrigerant tonight and it was 40psi at 84 degrees outside. I let the a/c run for a few minutes before checking. I guess I need to tint the windows to help with the inside temps. It like setting in a fish bowl in the afternoon.
  17. Hey everyone, I had a quick question about the steering wheel. I have a 95 with no airbag and the guts inside that work the horn is all busted up. Does anyone know what years use the same horn center as the 95? The junkyard has a 94 and a 93. I hadnt went yet to look and didnt know if any other nissans would work? thanks
  18. Yea that's what I was thinking. Just can't get over how much the compressor bogs it down. Turning it off is like hitting the nitrous button. It's so instant. Could being low on freon cause the compressor to bog down?
  19. Hey everyone, on my 95 when I turn on the a/c it cools ok but really cuts the power down. Sometimes when merging on the interstate I have to turn it off until I get up to speed. Is the common or is this the beginning of problems down the road? Thanks
  20. Thanks everybody. Should have new pc tomorrow
  21. Hopefully I don't look too dumb asking this question, but where can I find a couple of the forum stickers? I'm working off a iPhone as my home pc crashed and there's not a search function that I see. Thanks and want to show support for the site.
  22. I like the no inspection. The rear bumper was rusted between the license plate and the frame mounts so I cut the rotten metal out and put steel plate in. Then I cut out a square in the new metal and placed expanded metal. Put lights in behind the grate and now there protected.
  23. Thanks for the help. Here in Alabama there is no type of inspection. I bought the truck in Kentucky and when I brought it home they didn't even check the VIN. Really like the truck and for only thousand bucks, can't beat it.
  24. Yea they only come on with the low beams. Everything is stock on the wiring. I will check on the power wire you mentioned. Thanks
  25. Mine has the factory fog lights. I just to be able to have the fog lights on without running the headlights. I'll look at the wiring harness to see where I can piggyback into so the fog light switch will activate
