Hey Guys!

So, I just inherited a 2001 Nissan Pulsar from my Uncle.
It's a bit of a change from the Ford Falcon I've had for the last 8 years that is right about to crap itself... but with the Falcon I knew it inside out -- the Pulsar not so much!

Anyway -- so yeah she seems to run okay, all good there -- but the heater won't turn off! The fans turn off all right, but there is always crap tonnes of heat coming through the vents.

I've checked the temperature control cable, it's attached to the knob and seems to be extending and retracting, but I can't see where the cable leads off to.

I'm hoping to not have to pull the whole dash out to check where it leads to, is there an easy way to check the heater flap, or do I need to spend a few hours with a screw driver?

Also on an unrelated note... the chassis frame that holds the car stereo appears to be self grounding (I've never seen that before!) --- I'm about to rip the amplifier and subwoofer out of the old Falcon and whack it into my Pulsar. Can I be lazy and run the grounding cable for the amplifier to that chassis piece, or is it still recommended I cut up some carpet and bolt it to a cleaned section of the floor? (I don't want to run the amp all the way to the boot, WAAAY too much wiring).

Speaking of Amp... in the Falcon you could cheat with inserting the power cable for the amp and run it through the accelerator cable grommet in the firewall... is there any decent pre-existing grommets in the N16? (Confession: I haven't even bothered to check for myself yet, so if turns out there is f***ing heaps, I apologise in advance).

Cheers!
