Has anyone got a heater matrix?

Hi Peeps Where can I get hold of in the UK an auto box cooler? I spoke to Luke at the Z Centre saturday and his wisdom is second to none and he says he may be stocking these soon. However I'd be interested in who may stock them now and how easy are they to fit? Thanks in advance.

When one turns on the lights (side or heads) the Air Con display, clock backlight and some other stuff dims! I want to turn this feature off, or add a switch - anyone have any ideas - before I start burying my head in the Zeds circuit diagrams???

Check out my updated ad in the For Sale section for a video footage of the SAW-system in action. Those who wondered about the shift-delay can observe my hands and the rev-meter, or listen to the engine. The shift delay is below 0.5s I'd guess. I'm running on a Level 10 upgraded tranny though, so the original one can be a tad slower. Maciej ------------------ www.ess-racing.com

All this talk of dealers screwing up with Z parts, is making me scared! My local dealership is really shit, anyone know of a decent Z specialist in Falkirk/Stirling or even Edinburgh Area?

Hi Guy's Anybody know easiest place around the dashbord area to take switched 12v and Earth from. Cheers Dave.

I'm hoping that someone might have already solved this potential problem. I'd like to fit a Turbo Timer, but, and here's the problem, I have a Cobra alarm fitted that I have upgraded to total closure. So, there are 2 problems as I see it: 1. Locking the car from the 'blipper' obviously arms the alarm. How can this work if the engine is still running on the timer. 2. The Cobra has a passive immobiliser, i.e. It sets itself after about a minute and a half. What will happen if the TT is running? Hope someone can help. Tim PS: Has anyone considered the Audi system of running a small additional oil pump to 'cool' the turbos after switching t…

Not wishing to start another "SE is best" row but i had one of their MAXFLOW twin airfilter jobbies put onto my car back in December 2000. Deciding to give my ZED some TLC i cleaned it top to toe on Saturday and took off the Z badge panel in between the headlights to clean all round it.I was expecting to be in stunned at the delights of the SE NISSAN MAXFLOW airfilter system and what did i find was....Wait for it.....Wait..... two paper cylindrical air filters pushed...YES PUSHED onto the W shaped twin pipe unit made by SE. There was no airtight seal between the filters and the plastic W pipe and to top it all off the filters were not even securely attached to the W …

Will the later PTU plug straight into where the earlier one came out, or does the wiring have to be altered. I have a UK 1993 twin turbo auto. I've seen a later one for sale on the web at Courtesy Nissan of Texas for $180.

Guys, I could really do with some help here. About a month back my auto box gave out. I was getting drive for a few seconds after startup, then it dropped out and wouldn't engage with any gear selection. It appears one or more of the clutches had disintegrated and clogged up the tranny oil filter (falling away when the engine was switched off). I spoke to several garages about this and they agreed (independantly) that it is a fairly common problem and a soft rebuild was about the only option. After some consideration I took my car to Mister Transmission in Charlton and they appeared to do a good job for £1500. However, within about 500 miles it lost 3rd gear. Mi…
