Got stranded at Brands Hatch near the end of a trackday... CEL on & traction control plus skid lamps illuminated.

Starts but revs bounce from 750-2000rpm approx... Pressing the throttle pedal has no effect & as soon as I dip the clutch & go to engage gear it cuts out.

The fault code P2119 was pulled which says 'Electronic Throttle Control Actuator Bank 1'

I'm assuming that bank 1 is UK RHD drivers side???

Does the code mean I should just replace the driver side bank 1 throttle body to fix the issue?  🤔🙏

Double de-clutching into quick bends at around 7k revs & 85mph whilst also heel & toeing/rev matching isn't possible, surely lol...

Double de-clutching on track at around 85mph & 7k revs into Paddock Hill isn't really an option!

As said, at low revs on road I don't beat the syncro unless I'm really blatting.

I had a similar issue but on my HR... turns out the main wiring harness connector under the passenger seat was the culprit due to dodgy pin connections... I had to clean out every pin connector with a needle file then it solved my roof issue...

Hey all... my 350z GT HR 313 Roadster (82k miles) has a Gearbox syncro issue!

At high revs changing down from 4th to third on track the gear crunches big time (fine at lower revs)

Is this defo a synchro issue & will changing out the box oil & adding molyslip help??? Or is it rebuild time?

Check the wiring and wiring connections under the passenger's seat.

Thought I'd give an update on my roof/passenger seat woes...

Turned out to be a dodgy main harness connection under the passenger seat!

I ended up having to use my needle files on the connector pins & sprayed some contact cleaner & hey presto... Roof working fine & seat does what it's supposed to 😁

I've just DL'd the FSM for Roof (RF) & Electric Seats (SE)... Hopefully this will enlighten me?!?

Cheers! ... I was thinking I may have to take the seat out to inspect... Everything was working perfectly before I parked it up  I gather if there is a fault with the passenger seat, then that'll interrupt the roof opening/closing sequence? .... The car is at my Bro's (75 miles away) ffs

I know when mines been sat for a while it will get stuck at a certain point during the sequence, i just release the button and repress it and it continues, after a few operations it's fine. I'd try giving the linkage a bit of a spray with WD40 and give it a tap to free up any stiction, anywhere there's a pivot.

Doubt that's the cause seeing as the passenger electric seat doesn't work either

Battery fully charged? does the car start? May not be enough power for the roof? Just a guess as i don't have one myself 

The starter motor is fubar too (but that's a different issue) ... Battery is fine & even when bump started same issue with roof/pass seat...

My Zed HR (2007) convertible has been parked up for quite a few months (since Nov 2019)

The roof was working perfectly before being parked up but now when I press the roof button to open, the windows go down but nothing else happens!

The passenger electric seat also does not work which I gather is part of the sequence in opening? It neither slides or reclines whereas the drivers seat works fine... I cannot find any related fuses in any of the fuse boxes in the engine bay or drivers footwell.

Anybody had a similar issue or know the fix?

I'm running DS2500 compound pads with Kinetix dimpled & grooved discs with the Brembo GT setup... Zero issues with squeal or "steering vibration"... Correctly fitted pads (i.e scrupulously cleaned caliper etc before replacement) don't squeal albeit I do agree that you do get a fair amount of brake dust from the Ferodo's... Chances are you have out of balance wheels/tyres &/or worn suspension points imo...

Twilight Grey K51 on my HR 313 Convertible

Has anyone moved their TCS switch (facelift) from its ridiculous position & put it next to the heated seat switches?

Recently did a track day in my 313 Zed roadster & had an issue with high rev misfiring... Now it seems I can smell the gearbox oil when driving/sat at lights etc.

Anyone have an ideas?

Doesn't appear to misfire now though

Will it look weird with grooved discs on the front and standard on the back... 😂

Just fitted Evora dimpled/grooved discs & DS2500 compound pads on the front only on my '07 HR313... Looks fine to me :-P

I use DOT 5.1 Comma synthetic fluid with DS2500 compound pads with Evora dimpled/grooved discs... No fade/boiling on track for me...

Has anyone done a mod so that the brake & throttle pedals are closer together?

Finding it difficult to heel & toe brake on track as the pedals seem too far apart...

I've only ever bought known brand LED's once and one packed up after a few months.

Best results I've had are with AutoBulbsDirect LEDs.

Just ordered a couple of Can-Bus LED sidelight bulbs for my '07 HR313 convertible... Hope they are the correct ones lol

How do you remove the switch finisher cover thingys????

If somebody gives me a clue on how to remove the switch finisher/arm rest thingy I'll be vinyl wrapping mine...

Do you have to remove the complete door card or does it just snap/press fit??

You certainley have done a good job there ilott

 

And the armrest comes out sooo easily!

 

Dan

How do you remove the switch cover/arm rest thingy then?!? lol

Any form of spreader will do the job:

Cheers for the reply... I actually managed to push the pistons into their bores using hand/finger pressure

Just fitted Evora Dimpled/Grooved discs with Ferodo DS2500 compound pads with a DOT 5.1 fluid refresh

Useful guide

But... Is there a specific tool for pushing the caliper pistons back into their bores? ... Are the pistons the wind in/out type??

EDIT: Replaced my discs with Evora Grooved & Dimpled & fitted Ferodo DS2500 compound pads.

I actually was able to push the pistons back with just my fingers (30 yrs of spannering & have always used a specific tool)

My top tip is too always apply copperslip to any bolts/fasteners that you remove to aid easier removal next time around

What would be a suitable tool for pushing the caliper pistons (Brembo)

back into their bores for pad/disc change?? (2007 HR 313)
