BESIDES CLEANING THE POINTS, TRY RESETTING IT.
ALSO CHECK FUEL LEVEL IN CARB BOWL,
CHECK IF FUEL IS BEING PUMPED IN WHEN YOU DEPRESS ACCELERATOR PUMP.

TRY ALSO SETTING THE MOTOR BACK TO TDC.

Nice colour dude, very similair to my car's colour.

However, besides the different look I'm wanting, as you might know,
these cars are old, they have picked up many tiny dents over the years, and I dont want to start grinding and Bodyfilling much.
These Hail type dents show very easily with Metalic, base coat paints, and the last thing I want is to see these little dents especially in the sun.
So, The need for graphics, put a break up in what one sees on the car and these tiny little dents are not so noticable.

Hey guys, thanks for the opinions.

However does anyone have pics of any Dattos with any type graphic designs on them.

I have tried playing with designs on PAINTSHOP etc, but theyre aint the best.

About 2 weeks ago, whilst parked outside my mates place, Some @sshole hit my sedan right at the rear corner portion next to my tail light, luckily, my tailight was saved.{hit & run}.

So now I thinking about getting the whole car resprayed, cause it was due anyway.

I am wanting to change the colour from metalic prussian blue to WHITE.
I am also considering having Blue flames put on the bonnet,fenders sections, and a little just on the front doors.

My question is,
what do you all think {opinions},
Have any of u seen any dattos like these, with the fire designs, If yes, please post pics.


And, is there anyone from SOuth Africa, that can tell me where I can get those wheel arch flare kits, that our aussie neighbours have.

I'm tired of having my datto looking 90%standard, I'm now wanting a more wicked, sporty look.

Anti-clockwise is correct.

Try using some penetrating, lubricating spray like WD40, etc.
Let it sit for approx an hour, then try again

-Get a long bar to attach to the spanner or wrench u r using .
-Put on pulley bolt.
-wedge it to the ground.
-put car in neutral.
-crank motor.

This will loosten the bolt.

infact if u are useing wood in any part of the stereo it should be MDF


Aint we talking door panel heres?.

If you havnt noticed,
most vehicals, when door pads are modified to fit in split systems etc, mainly fibre glass is used to fit them in.
Beside MDF only, chipboard, plywood are brilliant enough to use as spacers.
Even sub, bass reflex boxes nowadays are made from perspec type material, which give those subs major oomph.

What ever you do, dont expect 6x9s on your door panels to sound like subs, they just wouldnt.
Wood, perspecs, fibre glass, plastic mainly help for better acoustics, mainly bass.
If yould like a little bass out of you Y sedan, I'd suggest, either putting in a sub in the boot, with a proper built bass-reflex box, other wise, just put in a pair of 6 or 8 inch sub woofers on the back board, preferably using chip board.

Having 6x9s on the door panels will just sound loud, which will give Tin sounding bass and not the deep hollow, humming type.

Anyone wanting good clear sound, without danaging much of the interior, I would like say,
-Go 6inch mids on the front door pads.
-a pair of tweeters mounted either at top corner of the windsreen or a either sides of the door posts, Just stick it on.
-A good set of 8 inch subs, 6x9s or limpids on the back board.
-And for bass, a set of subs in the boot, with a good spec built box.
Why I say SPec built box.
Any sub put in a good, specification built bass reflex box will sound good.
What I've noticed over the years, with myself entering sound comps etc, guys coming in with major 12, 15, 17 inch subs sound like $hit, cause of the boxes they built.
Having a bigger box, doesnt nessecarilly mean better bass
