Gents, a technical query.
I’ve got two resistances in the top of my fuse box (well…opposite end to relays). I assume they are the resistances shown in the ‘Bible’ for the injector banks. Am I correct?

Secondly, there are two ceramic type of things with what appears to be resistance wire wound around them mounted on the chassis tube almost directly under (but about 12” away) the upper steering uj. I’ve renewed the insulated lucar connectors but I don’t know what these two ‘things’ are. I think they are wired in series, if my memory serves me right. Any ideas (I’ve thought maybe heater motor)??

Anyone got any ideas?

Thought I'd best add that the car is a V8S, and the 2 ceramic formers/things are mounted on the chassis ....but quite close to the top steering UJ. They look like the ballast resistors used with the 6V coils that Nissan used.

The things mounted to the chassis are resistors for the dash illumination I took mine out as the were fubar

The two resistors,i think one is for replacing the lamba sensor on catted cars,I may well be wrong though

Colin,
Tnx for the reply.
That would explain why my dash illumination on the switch has only 2 settings - - ON & OFF!

Rather than the usual dim or dimmer I suppose ?
