Hey all, I have an old Remac alarm in my 91 NA6C and I want to disconnect the bugger!! Unsure of model as it came with the car, but it seems fairly basic. We've been away for about a month and returned to find the battery flat, so I took the battery out and charged it, but now the alarm seems to hav...

Cool, thanks guys. I had a quote last year in Auckland to respray, that was about $1500. I'm guessing it'd either be crap work or I'd still be waiting now for the guy to finish the work!!

Is it worth doing a respray before putting a car up for sale?? And, can anyone recommend a good car painter down here in Wellington? My red 91 NA has a bad case of flaking clearcoat down the drivers side and in a few other places too and I'm thinking that a fresh coat of paint will help when I put i...

Hey Guys, I'm on the move from Auckland to Wellington, so I'm on the hunt for a new mechanic to take care of my 91 NA6. There's some stuff I can do for myself, but I'm not afraid to admit my limitations when it comes to something more than general maintenance. I've seen a similar post from a couple ...

Thanks for that Growler. I put a brand new set of leads in not so long ago and was still getting the misfire until yesterday when we took the rocker cover off and re-did the mechanic's work on the gasket. Only one run since then, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for now. Always good to get referral...

Just a bit of an update on this one. My retired engineer father was nosing under the bonnet the other day (he's damned handy when you're a novice like me!) and found oil in the plug holes and around the seam of the rocker cover... suggesting the gasket was perished and in need of replacement. We did...

Thanks for all the info guys! I have the car booked in for a regular service and they're going to check the timing and compression while it's in. I've only had the car since January and I don't know how well it was maintained prior to us taking it over, so I'm progressively working through all the t...

Thanks guys, It's due for an oil & filter change very shortly, so I will get the mechanic to do a compression test and check the timing for me. Thankfully, no sign of oil in the coolant, water in the engine or air bubbles in the radiator. As you say, it's not conclusive, but I'm taking it as a posit...

Hi All, sorry for the length of this post, but I figure the more you know the better you may be able to help here! I've had an annoying misfire in my 91 NA6 ever since the waterpump and cambelt were replaced back in January. The car was overheating on a drive back from Akl airport to West Akl and we...

Hey thanks for that blackbetty, I have to admit, I still haven't rolled up my sleeves and had a look at this!

Now that the weathers getting cooler and the calendar not so full I'll hopefully get a free weekend to dig into this properly.

Thanks guys, will give that a go this weekend!

Hi all... Bit of a new guy here, inherited my 91 Eunos Roadster a few months back from the sister-in-law who now lives overseas. The car has been in storage rather neglected up until recently and I'm working through all the little bits and pieces one at a time... current task is the passenger window...
