Keep up the good progress! On a side note- have you thought about posting all of your vids in one thread? Might make it easier for people to watch some of your older videos without opening YouTube (for those of us on our phones)

Is this the same as the no reverse lights issue you posted in another thread and should I merge the two topics?

No I fixed both problems now... the taillights was a broken wire, and the reverse lights was corrosion on the bulb sockets and not having the car in the on position when trying to get the lights to turn on haha

Ugh, I've gotten the corrosion in the bulb socket issue before.
Which reminds me, I need to fab up some kind of protection panel for my tail lights in the truck.

I merged a bunch of your threads into one mega thread. It'll make it easier for people to follow you since they only have to subscribe to one thread.

Nice work man. You should make a cooling panel for a video. Easy to make and work great.

So, where is a good, ACTIVE Nissan forum???

The ones that show under google seem to have little to no activity.

Where are all the Nissan owners getting assistance?

Visitors and traffic are actually up, but posting is down a bit. The search button is getting used like you wouldn't believe.

Keep up the good work JR!

Thank you Papa Smurf!!!

I'm taking off Regina's face in the episode of my build, aka the front bumper, headlights, and fenders. I'm doing this in prep for painting my engine bay!!!

I've always dreamed of a white engine bay. I figure I'd be able to quickly spot and identify any fluid leaks. I'd be forced to keep it clean, but with a fresh start, wipe down maintenance might not be so bad. Anyway, one of the things I've never gotten around to doing on any of my cars. Someday... someday.

So, I'm stoked for you! I bet you're not doing white. What color will you do?

Yes, I am subscribed to your channel and I'll keep a watch for updates. I liked how your bay turned out, though I am no fan of glitter; that stuff gets everywhere. I am working on my electrical harness. Old owner of my coupe cut part of the instrument cluster and matched the cables wrong, and 1/2 of the engine harness melted together; slow fun progress changing all the burned cables from a donor harness I got form a 92 convertible in a Live Oak junk yard. I tried to figure out how to post pics but only got as far as making a reply. haha! not computer oriented at all. Keep the updates and the DIY coming! lots of peeps still working on their 240sx I see them everywhere here in Gville and all around north central FL. God Bless.
