      Who is the runaway minister? and what happened to that Presea?

    3. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      like 5 months back a minister (Cant remember the name - pradehsiya sabaa I think) was going to be shot or shot someone else, and had runaway and he was driving that presea and presea met with an accident.. I dont remember, something like that (I remember bits I heard from here and there... here is the link with the presea... http://www.puvath.lk/news.php?newsid=139606&hl=en

      That car is beyond repair I think

  2. Who knew restoration projects are so addictive... Damn, feels like I wanna do another restoration...

      I'm going to buy a beater car soon, you can restore that for me.

      PreseaLover

      haha no I think I"ll pass :D

      I'm looking for something more like another Presea, Mark II...probably something frameless... I don't know Presea is what rocks my boat ... and the next Presea is going to be Navy Blue...

  3. Is it just me or when you buy a new car, does the urge to go somewhere or road trips increase....but you have nowhere to go or no one is available for a trip...sigh

  4. Is it normal you experience people cursing all the time when they get in and out of your car, coz your car is low and its hard to get out... So far almost everyone cursed lol...

  5. Took the car to a car wash and that dudes washed the car with kerosene... Instantly checked google before he continued and saw that its a normal method.. However is this recommended?

      I feel sorry for all the rubber bits on your car. Kerosene degrades rubber.

      I use kerosene to remove where bits of tar stuck on, couldnt find a product that removes tar as efficiently as kerosene

  6. Anyone know a joint where I can get a small mirror cut for the sunshade mirror in the car above my head (as its broken) around kirulapone, kohuwala, boarelsgamuwa route? Searched for a place all these days and couldnt find...

      I called doctor auto.. they said given the interior situation either they will remove it and wash it or keep it and wash it (both carpet and seats)..if removed they take more than a day.. Will be going there tomorrow.. quoted me 7.5max if removed if not 5.5k..seems fair.. have you got stuff done by them ?

    3. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      DONE! Did it from automiraj - pepiliyana...6500/- All seats, roof, carpets and full interior clean.. satisfied to my expectation... Thanks hoonigan for advising on not to go with seat covers and do the cleaning..saved me a good 30k

    4. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      Ok new car pics posted in the "Nissan Presea" thread :)

  8. My beige carpeting is very dirty... Is there any recommended good place to get the entire floor carpeting cleaned and bring them back to good condition?

      @Davy.. I'd like to try, but with my health condition, I cannot bend or stress on the body yet to do any hard work.. I was told to stay put for like that for around 8,10 months... even driving I started 2,3 days back, so DIY's are bit hard to conduct :(

    3. Davy

      Davy

      I see. Hope you get well soon.

    4. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      Thanks Davy :) thought of taking to Automiraj-pepliyana or Kleen Park...

  9. If I replace the GLASS of my power mirror, still it would work when I press the mirror adjusting button yeah? Or do I have to replace the entire mirror to function properly?

    1. asrock

      asrock

      The mirror is attached to a rotating plastic circle like part, if you can detach the mirror from that and attach the new mirror it'll function as usual. Just make sure not to break any plastic bits when detaching the mirror.

    2. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      ahh ok thanks machan

    3. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      Is it possible to detach the mirror from the plastic machan? Have you done it before?

  10. The rear of my car seems to be a bit higher from ground level than my previous car.. Can it be due to the Shocks of the rear? Previous car anyway had size 13 tyres whereas this has 14, can it be the cause?

      PreseaLover

      Yep, the restoration is almost complete.. the paint was finished 2 weeks back.. other things like sound system, replacing old panels, tuneup, service were the things I was doing these days.. only thing left is the cut and polish now which will be done in a weeks time :) all old parts were replaced to look like the car just left the showroom.. the only part I couldnt find was the driver side power mirror beading..

      If you want to compare height difference use https://tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/ and compare tire diameter.

    4. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      ah great thanks rumesh :)

  11. Apart from Delkanda and Panchi, is there any known shop or place where I can find a Driver side MIRROR BEADING?

  12. When you press the OVERDRIVE button and drive, does it consume more fuel? Or is it alright to always have the overdrive on?

      Wonder why there is a OD off option in the first place :)

    3. Davy

      Davy

      "Pressing" the ODO (overdrive off) button causes your transmission to not shift into top gear. So naturally there will be higher fuel consumption.

      Usage of the ODO button is simple driver's ed. Read up!

      ah ok thanks davy :)

  13. Anyone got a Power Antenna or an Antenna Circuit that fits a Nissan Presea R11, FB14, FB15 or N16?

      Got it :) the N16 circuits fits the presea too and fixed it and now its fine :)

    3. asrock

      asrock

      Great! is your antenna working alright now?

    4. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      Yep :) Actually it worked before too, but even after taking the key out I heard the motor running.. there was a issue in the previous motor- timer, so after replacing the circuit, it was fixed :)

  14. Upgraded the car sound system into the latest Kenwood Double Din Setup that was launched few days back.. Pure Bliss! Caters all my double din requirements!

  15. Found this Kenwood coaxial speaker set for 6k.. Didnt buy it yet coz they said its genuine kenwood, but behind the speaker it says "Made in China".. Doenst this mean its chinese and its not genuine???

  16. Managed to put the puppy face and clear an entire Center Panel for my car from customs without a single tax charge, which I bought from Yahoo Auctions :D

      PreseaLover

      For the item, the proxy site warehouse charge, the domestic shipping charge to the proxy site, and then from warehouse to SL inlcuding the comission, it all costed only Rs. 8000/- .... in SL I couldnt find this panel, and those who had said i have to buy the entire dashboard if I want it..at the customs they didnt tax me..

    3. asrock

      That's not bad. Take care when ur installing it. Can you DIY?

    4. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      no I don't do DIY... I did a lot of DIY's to my last car and f**ked it up real bad and learned it the hard way, so this time I'm going to give it to a professional to do a better job :D

    4. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      tried my best machan, but he only reduced 75k from that.His argument was "look at the car & tell me, can i sell this for any lesser". bought it for that price coz the engine and body was in good condition.I asked for previous emission test reports and when i checked the emission reports odo value since 2011, it was accurate & has driven only around 5k km's as he works in col and the car was is in NW

  18. Can someone please englighten me what we call this OUTER rear door beading i have highligted in Red in this image.. Is it the the BODY WEATHER STRIP or the REAR DOOR MOLDING? http://i.imgur.com/7zi4Tnb.jpg

      I would throw firecrackers at autolanka if I bought a presea :P

      No, I just heard another presealover going to cut and polish his presea windows and I was like 'Wah? you can do it on windows too?'

    3. NRX

      PreseaLover

      sure... this guys said he will update me of his restoration process in 2,3 weeks so I'll keep you posted too :)

  22. So I found a guy who is in the process of modifying his Presea with an R34 Face.. Are there any who knows or have seen a Presea modified with the S15 face?

    1. asrock

      asrock

      why the hell some one wants to do that?

    2. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      No idea.. there are few preseas in thailand with that modification.. I guess he is inspired to do that..

    3. Magnum

      Magnum

      The only face swap I like is the R34 swap on the Stagea

  23. This is Bill... Bill has a friend Nick-named PL... PL has an indomitable spirit and a murderous will towards the Presea... Bill Understands his passion... Bill see's a Presea on the road.. Bill asks the owner if he is willing to sell it for PL... Bill is smart... Be like Bill!

      Desperation is a tender trap @matro... When a man runs out of options, he decides to take the plunge... I have to do whatever it takes to mend my heart.. Elakiri was the last option...sigh

  24. Umm.. I'm getting a little bit nervous now because there is not a single refina in any classified site advertised for sale and all are sold out..just when i decided I'd buy any colour with just english numbers...speechless!.

      Persia's are nice cars. I sold my Refina about 2 years ago. Comfortable, rock solid, cheap parts. Cuts through wind due its low profile and shape. I loved the car. Then I bought a prius. Nice car but no character or lovable at all. Still miss the prius.

    3. knightowl

      knightowl

      Sorry the Presea

    4. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      @Knightowl - damn man, nice to get to know another presea lover :) If I knew you before I would have bought your car when you sold.. tough luck :( Do you know anyone who uses a refina and up for sale? my previous car was also a refina..

  25. Anyone owns a Bimmer with the colour ALPINE WHITE III ?
