    Speedo Issue

    Gave this a try last night and still no speedo, next step is to take my clocks apart and check to see if the signal is reaching them........ I'm actually quite enjoying this diagnostic stuff! Did you check the info i showed you? No point in dismantling the speedo if you can check the VSS (vehicle speed sense) wire from the AC Control unit. If your POD speedo isnt working either then its unlikely to be your speedo. Also, long shot, but if you end uup needing to replace your speedo - lomoto has one for sale currently. if you replace the speedo i'll have the broken one Husky, PM tim (lomoto). I mentioned on his thread that you or Dene8 may be interested. Se here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=22261

  7. Nope... i didnt. Although i painted the lip with a paint brush - not cans.
  8. Its another glovebox style cubby like the one on the other side... keep an eye out on eBay for people breaking zeds - you'd get one from there... That said, wasnt someone on here last week selling pretty much the whole of their car, as they were making it race ready?? I cant remember... have a look around.
  9. That is sex. Im loving the wheels. I painted mine too with cans.
  10. In just under 2 years on this forum, i've only ever read about 1 auto gearbox problem... and im sure that was just a piece of plastic that had snapped and was stopping the lever move...! .. thats not to say that there havent been other failures... i've just not read about them
  11. I've only heard excellent things about L&G, so they're worth a look... but i couldnt tell you if they do geometry etc.
  12. Welcome pal. Before buying a car - check the insurance first. I had a group 16 e46 328ci coupe and was paying £800 a year, then bought the zed and it went right up to £2550! I was 23 at the time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with imports either... you'll save upto £2k on the purchase price, while getting pretty much the same car (if you shop around and get one with brembos/leather etc). Then you can spend the leftover cash on mods
  13. Difference between a manual and a tip? One's an automatic car, and the other's a manual I've had a tiptronic for almost 2 years now, and i love it. It drives very well, and i can get anything between 16 and 31 mpg depending on how im driving and the roads im on. The auto-box is very good... and the tiptronic mode is very useful when going for a b-road blast! That said, i do occasionally wish i had a manual, but not often.
  14. I went out at lunch and they were still on last months issue Anyone got the official release date?
  15. Thats beautiful. I'd love something like that (and somewhere to use it!)
  16. Cool...! And its about time too
  17. Hey Tim, welcome back! Try PM-ing Husky or Dene8 as they may be interested in the speedo assembly
  18. Dont you mean, Goodbye, as we'll never see him again now

    Speedo Issue

    I think the kmh - mph converter is inside the speedo housing. The visio things are £80?? I think i mapd £27 or something like that, and i was gutted as the guy had sold one for £17 the week before. Defo get one though - it makes a huge difference when driving, i cant live without it! Good luck with the problem.
  20. My zed has gone flat twice, and both times it DIDNT make a clicking noise when trying to start it. Nothing at all happened when i turned the key. Then when jumping it i had no problems at all, and jumped off a Rav 4 and a Renault Clio... not big power cars! Whether it makes a difference that mines a JDM with a smaller battery, i dont know?
  21. Have you posted up on Driftworks Steve? I know the OP day on the 11th sold out, and i saw loads of conversation about it on there

    Speedo Issue

    Do your indicators still make a clicking noise when they're on? I've blown the fuse before which controls that noise, and the speedo's. Its the one directly below the empty slot in the footwell fuse box... 15A i think. If it still makes the indicator noise, it must be something else. I know that the speed pulse wire comes through the AC Control Unit which is a white box in the center console - you need to remove the gear surround to get to it. If i were you i'd get a multimeter and check that its producing a signal when you're moving (get someone else to drive perhaps ). See my thread below detailing which pin the speed wire is: "Now, the VSS wire is found on the middle plug (grey - M49), and is pin 26 - which if you're looking down on it is the top row, 3rd hole from the left. My wire was brown with a white stripe. I found the wiring info in this document - on page 47: " http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=18962
