  1. Had mine fitted along with a service and MOT, the mechanic was very impressed with the results
  2. That's good news, thanks bud Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
  3. I had a lot of trouble trying to start mine after I'd disconnected the battery for 2 months while I was in OZ, I finely got it to fire up, then it went into limp mode. got told you need to reset the ECU, seems to be a bit of a ball ache (see below) so haven't done it since. 350Z ECU Resetting Procedures Please read all instructions and be familiar with them before any attempts. A stop watch or an analog clock with a second’s needle will be useful. ECU Resetting Procedures Timing is extremely critical. If it is NOT DONE within the specify time, the ECU will not reset and the Check Engine Light (CEL) will continue to remain ON. A stop watch or an analog clock with a second’s needle will be useful. Operations Procedures 1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON†and wait 3 seconds. 2. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds. 2a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD). 2b. Fully release the accelerator pedal. 3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking. 4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking) 5. Wait about 10 second. 6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds. 7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink). 8. Turn ignition switch to “OFF†position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone. If the CEL light continues to remain ON, repeat the above steps. Timing is EXTREMELY critical to resetting the ECU. Accelerator Pedal Release Position Learning Operation Procedure 1. Make sure that the accelerator pedal is fully released. 2. Turn ignition switch “ON†and wait at least 2 seconds. 3. Turn ignition switch “OFF†wait at least 10 seconds. 4. Turn ignition switch “ON†and wait at least 2 seconds. 5. Turn ignition switch “OFF†wait at least 10 seconds. Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning Operation Procedures 1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released. 2. Turn ignition switch is “ONâ€. 3. Turn ignition switch is “OFF†wait at least 10 seconds. Make sure that the throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound. Idle Air Volume Learning (Throttle Position Learning) It is better to count the time accurately with a clock. Operation Procedures 1. Perform “Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learningâ€. 2. Perform “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learningâ€. 3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature. 4. Turn ignition switch “OFF†and wait at least 10 seconds. 5. Conform that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON†and wait 3 seconds. 6. Repeat the following (steps 7a, 7b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds. 7a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD) 7b. Fully release the accelerator pedal. 8. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 20 seconds until the Check Engine Light (CEL) stops blinking and turned ON. 9. Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the CEL is ON. 10. Start engine and let it idle. 11. Wait 20 seconds. 12. Rev up the engine two or three times and make sure the idle speed and ignition timing are within the specifications. The Easy Method: After experimenting with different timing, and reading posts by other members, I've come up with a condensed method of doing this reset. This method works EVERY time, even w/o a stopwatch. I've used this method successfully a dozen times, or so, now w/o a watch. After a few times, you won't need a watch or instructions. You'll get so darn good at it, you'll find yourself doing it while waiting at a traffic light. Timing is not as critical with this method...no stop watch needed. Just count in your head...one-one thousand, two-one thousand, etc, or use stop watch. The most critical step is step #3....wait 10 sec, instead of 7. 1. Ignition "ON", count to 3. 2. Depress/Release pedal 5 times...hard and fast. 3. Count to 10 (not 7!) and fully depress pedal 4. Count to 12 (SES should be blinking), release pedal 5. Count to 10, depress pedal 6. Count to 10, release pedal. 7. Turn off ignition, then start engine. Done! Accelerator Pedal Release Position Learning Operation Procedure 1. Make sure that the accelerator pedal is fully released. 2. Turn ignition switch “ON†and wait at least 2 seconds. 3. Turn ignition switch “OFF†wait at least 10 seconds. 4. Turn ignition switch “ON†and wait at least 2 seconds. 5. Turn ignition switch “OFF†wait at least 10 seconds. Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning Operation Procedures 1.

  4. Does the bumper need to come off to fit these lights?
  5. Hi Guys. Great event, short notice I know, but worth the trip out. http://www.carsinthepark.org.uk/
  6. are these wired into the low beam circuit?
  7. Bump Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
  8. yes, it's normal, just had my seats out, and the passenger seat as one less plug
  9. These are still for sale,as the guy above hasn't got back to me, need to get rid as I haven't the space to keep them.
  10. Done , I used a Dremel with the seat in situ to elongate the hole

    Alloys !!

    this my car and the wheels I bought. inc hubcentric spacers and Falken tyres, £1160 delivered not a bad price if your on a budget available in black http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/dotz-gtr-19
  12. Yes, I loosened all the bolts to see I could get a bit of movement, put that's as close as I could get to lining up the hole, so it looks like I'll have drill out the bracket to elongate the hole.
  13. Hi Guys. I've just transfered a pair of leather seats from a 2007 GT facelift into a non GT 2004 which had cloth seats, everything was OK till I came to the back floor bolt on the drivers seat nearest the door, as you can see from the pic the hole doesn't line up. were the seats changed in anyway on the facelift?
  14. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2 Great:D
  15. Sorry, forgot to mention that. Near Skipton, north Yorkshire. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
  16. REDUCED Good condition £50 + shipping Or collect in person, will supply more pics if needed
  17. Hi Guys. I need to disconnect the battery, to work on the car, how long do I have before I need to do a reset.
  18. that's the message I wanted to here
  19. Right, I have some pics kindly taken from the guy I'm thinking of buying the seats from, it all look like it should work & match up.
  20. many thanks like you said, I could be in luck
