the difference between FF and RR coilpacks.... as far as i can tell, it's the orientation of a small vent/drain hole on the rubber seal just under the main body of the coilpack.....
the rear is on the same side as the connector socket...

the front is on the opposite side...

the rubber can turn, so if you needed a rear and only had a spare front..... just saying :)

Fantastically, clear high def images you post up Britlude, but like a lot of forum members, of which I'm one, the images we post up are generally, putting it bluntly, cr*p.
So would you mind letting us all know, in a simple to follow idiot proof way, how you do it please.
Cheers.

i take pics then upload them to Photobucket.
on photobucket (which is free as long as you don't go mental storing thousands of pics) they are stored on the internet in a bigger format than most forums. with the forum hosting the pictures (the add pic thingy in the top of the reply box) they are usually a smaller size to keep the space taken up storing them smaller, and thus the forum costs lower...
the individual pictures on photobucket have the email/forum link already laid out to just copy and paste into the reply to thread box... it looks complicated (i've changed the square bracket into curley ones, just to show what the code looks like.)
{URL=http://s301.photobucket.com/user/thisYup/media/nsx%20stuff/tarty%20nsx%20pix/z01052011442800x600.jpg.html]{IMG]http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn41/thisYup/nsx%20stuff/tarty%20nsx%20pix/z01052011442800x600.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
it doesn't matter how confusing it looks, it's not you that has to understand it, it's an instruction for the forum software to look on the internet for a pic, get it, and put it in the thread!
with the correct brackets, it looks like this!

currently my photobucket is 79% full... but that does have 2360 pics and 10 videos!!!! that was before i started dumping all my pics on my facebook page, and kept photobucket for forums etc. facebook has the habit of changing the specific URL of individual photos (but they stay in place on your facebook page) which means bad links later on if you use facebook as the picture host, photobucket keeps the same URL forever...hopefully!!!!
photobucket.com
Photobucket now do NOT support 3rd party hosting, unless you want to stump up $400 per year to enable linking to pics on their site! now i've had to edit all the links to use Flickr as the host site......

Thanks, I'll see how I get on, just a shame you've got to be computer genius to do it :):)

well this afternoon/evening took a bit of a turn! i had a squeek coming from the engine when i turned on the AC... belt needed a little tighten, no big deal!
tightened the belt (i know you're all waiting for the uh-oh moment), fires the car up, turned on the AC. no squeek, checked pump spinning... all ok, checked inspection window in the dryer under the bonnet, all good, checked the AC rad fans.... uh-oh, passenger side fan not runnng!!!!
drivers side ok, passenger fuse blown... replace, blows again.... try and move fan with fingers (fuse still out, don't want blood!) very stiff, but with a little working it moves freely one way, but tightens and eventually locks the other way. ironically the way that is free is the wrong way!
ok, something up with motor, so lets take it out.. consult manual... remove bumper... err no!!!!! turns out you CAN get the motor out without having to remove the bumper, or drain the AC system, it's just a bit of a faff!
obviously the motor isn't designed for repair, the traditional 'no servicable parts inside' scenario, but it's just a motor, not rocket science (or steampunk hats!).
prise open the retaining tabs, remove end cover, clean out the rust that has accumulated and flaked over 24 years that's jamming up the rotor/magnet space, give it all a good spray with Gibbs oil to stop further corrosion, wipe off excess and re assemble!
2 1/2hours start to finish, and the fuse doesn't blow now!
so, latest update, 8/6/16 adjusted AC belt,replaced fuse!
apologies, no pics, i was up to my armpits in car bits and on a mission to get it done as it's a school night!

A while ago I purchased a replacement drivers interior door handle as a replacement for the one in the car (obviously) that had broken… the plastic bit! Because I was bored I thought I’d replace the leather grab bit as it was marked and tatty before fitting it…..
I’d already removed the leather then put it back for the pic…. So it was actually smoother/polished originally

Anyhow, this was the original and the replacement leather cut to shape!

The edges were then thinned using a sanding band and the edge folded and stuck down… and then basketball stitched as per original to the handle…

Here’s the before and after, the handle I took off, and the retrimmed replacement….

You can see how polished it was…..

Good work Jonathan, all you have to do now is explain to Sarah why she has two identical holes in her best leather jacket! Not sure moths would work .
