Long story short: I moved to Germany and took my Z with me. Now after a year (or so) here I have to comply with ze rules, which means officially exporting ze car and loosing my immunity to parking und speeding offences . Between me and official registration is a battalion of German bureaucracy. I have now passed the German equivalent of the MoT* (TÃœV) provided I produce the paperwork for a few non-standard modified parts of the car (Air filter, Bodykit, Wheels and tyres). Of course I kept those papers as long as it took to jump into the car to test drive them so they are nowhere to be found. The exact paperwork is not required, all I need is copies of some paperwork that could look like it is for these or similar parts: Air filter (P3503-1XCN7) or any air filter as it contains no recognisable markings Nismo N2 Bodykit Falken FK 452 tyres Rotas Torque Wheels If anyone could scan and send a copy of their paperwork for any of the above (or anything similar) I would score a victory in losing battle. Also if anyone knows if it is possible to swap the reverse light from the right to the left side of the car, I would be interested in finding out how that is possible. *A German man paid to find faults with your car no matter what.

New battery in, problem solved! Thanks.

Anyone try recharging from the mains before getting a new battery? FYI if you ever need to change a fuse on the panel in the "passenger compartment" hire a chinese contortionist.

This morning I went to open my Z and to my surprise the key fob was not working. It had been snowing so I thought maybe the signal couldn't get through. Anyway after getting into the car manually (key-in-door) I discovered the entire electrical system is off. It has not been driven in 2 days but the battary was showing completely normal readings on last shut down and I'm skeptical if it is a flat battary as absolutly no indication of any power to any car system is showing. My first inkling is it is a fuse problem. I've looked at the two faily accessable fuse boxes (by drivers foot and under hood next to battary) and there appears to be no problems on first glances but I hear fuse #82 is the master fuse and without knowing where that is located I have no way to check it. Another slight issue was when I opened the under hood fuse box I heard a sound as if something had just fallen into the battary compartment that may have come loose in the fuse box. If anyone (with a complete set of under hood fuses) could confirm in the picture attached if my set of under hood fuses are indeed complete or not, that would be super to rule out a missing and now lost fuse. Obivously the car can't operate a single electrical feature let alone go anywhere so before calling for roadside assistence I would like to get a better idea of the problem. The only abnormality in the last few days is that the weather has been very cold.
