  1. Hi,

    My little bits worth,

    I have the same controller, when i initially installed the D1 all i got was the same as you reported a few flickers, after a bit of web searching i found out the connector block between the controller and your accelerator can be pushed together 180 deg out,

    As soon as i pushed them together and cable tied, all works correctly, Wondered why there was a large cable tie in the box

    A bit peculiar, what i thought was the logical way to connect the blocks together, Wasn't, i had to turn one block 180 deg, push together, then Cable Tie.

    Now All Good, Works well

     

    that's interesting, thanks for that mate I'll have a butchers tomorrow :thumbs:

  2. I have a D1 spec throttle controller that I bought earlier this year from eBay.

    When I eventually got round to fitting it i found it didn't function.

    I only got the odd flicker...

    As it had been a fair few months since I bought it, I couldn't exactly send the thing back.

     

    Being an electrical engineer I had a look at trying to find the problem.

    I summised that it had 12v going in to the controller but no 12v going from there to the display unit.

  3. Unfortunately the time has come that I need to buy a sensible family car after the Mrs just giving birth to our second child.

    so it is with a heavy heart and long deliberation that I have to put my pride and joy up for sale.

     

    She is an 04 plate GM Zed with a tad over 85k miles on the clock.

    All the usual GT refinements such as electric heated seats, Bose stereo, Air-conditioning, 18 inch alloys.

    previous owner had a gaming Sat-Nav fitted into the cubby above the stereo. This turns on/off with the ignition.

     

    MODIFICATIONS;

    Over the 4 years I have owned the zed I had added the following,

    •JWT popcharger

    •Horsham Developments plenum spacer

    •Tarmac Sports bonnet struts

    •rickdon slam panel

    •Scorpion stainless steel back box

    •Japspeed silenced decats

    •Silvertec front indicator bulbs

    •led sidelight, interior and numberplate bulbs

    •Tarmac Sports INGs style front lip

    •OEM side spats and G35 rear spats

    •Honda s2000 stubby ariel

    •Pioneer CD/DVD headunit

    •14N boot divider

    •Stillen side window louvers

     

    I also had the front end completely resprayed by RT Performance last year, purely because I wanted get rid of all the stone chips. At the same time, I got them to fit clear front reflectors and the front and rear spats and a JDM front Z badge.

    The clutch was changed 2 years ago by Horsham Developments along with a new Driftworks lighter flywheel and front superpro Anti-roll bar bushes.

     

    More recently I had a company out to do an engine carbon emissions clean.

     

    All 4 tyres are in good condition with plenty of tread left.

     

    The Zed is due go in to a garage on Friday to have an oil change, new K&N oil filter and new Gates micro V alternator and air-con belts. I also have a set of OEM rear drop links that I will get them to fit.

     

    BAD BITS;

    as with all cars of this age, there are a few scuffs on the front alloys. this never bothered me because my intention was to change them for 370Z alloys, I just never got round to it due to my recent arrival.

    There is a small scuff on the front lip where I scraped the kerb the other week.

    There are hardly any car park dinks as I had them all taken out when I first bought the car.

  4. I've got a Scorpion back box combined with the oem Y pipe and silenced decats (make im unsure of).

    whenever I rev the car and the revs are falling or I'm on overrun after acceleration, the system makes a rasp as the revs drop. I've been told it's back pressure, but it's starting to get a tad annoying. I've checked to see if there are any splits or blows in the system but 'Nada!

    can someone shed some much needed light on this. and would an aftermarket Y pipe help?

     

    cheers guys :thumbs:
