I've been waiting with baited breath for the "currently in development" Conzult ECU software to be released. As I recall the website said it might be out at the end of last year. Anyone heard anything? I've lost their URL! Ta. JC

I'm trying to pull the spur of loom that goes to the ECU out into the engine bay.. and I'll be buggered if I can get it to budge - I've pulled with all my might.. yanked.. sworn.. and thought about cutting the loom.. and I still can't get the ECU cable to budge into the engine bay.. There isn't a bolt/clip up behind the dash is there? Please tell me there isn't...

After messing with the ECU last week the Z is dead. I have unplugged the ECU and tried turning the key but it's exactly the same - dash lights come on as normal but nothing fires/turns over when I turn the key. I was told that even without the ECU the fans should come on and the engine will crank. It's not doing this. Any ideas? Need to get it sorted this weekend.

Does anyone have any tips on changing the rear brake pads ? Is there anything I need to know about the ABS, cause otherwise I'm just going to unbolt the old ones and screw on the new ones - is that ok ? Is it as simple as a fiesta ? Also....... some bastard nicked the z centre logo on my steering wheel and now I have just a glob of glue where my nice logo was, anyone know where I can get another ? 1990 Jap Import. as usual thanks for your help

Jeff, Have you got my Emails with my mobile number dated 08/01/02.I'v replied to the others later than this one but they have both failed.Give me a quick reply if your still going to the yard tomorrow & you've got my number. regards Ken :-)

In the picture below there is a black plastic box on the o/s wing just in front of the bulkhead. It has 1 pipe going to the plenum ballance bar! & a couple of wires from the grey connector. Looked through the cd to no avail. Could this be the cars boost sensor that sends a signal to the boost guage, or not! I need to find the boost sensor to wire my new ELECTRICAL! boost guage too If its not, somebody tell me where to look. Then can you tell me the colour of the wire to cut & connect to run the new gauge. As im runnin' short on fuses now LOL. Thanks.......Harve. ------------------ [This message has been edited by harve (e…

that fence used to have signs all over saying "KEEP AWAY - Grade 2 listed wall" (the wall was falling down). Now it seems osama has paid a visit lol. BTW there was a bike shed there the bike rakc all smashed up and that corrigated iron used ot be the roof. Found that quite amusing myself

After reading some recent posts I thought that I'd post this... Titos Loveshack this way... What do you guys reckon then? ROFL

For doing 30mph in a 30mph zone, are they taking the piss or something? Got myself a producer for my troubles with the words 'Cautioned for speed' written on it, not impressed. I am going to complain as the bike cop who stopped me told me it 'appeared' I was doing 30mph over a mini-island.....WTF....radar gun eye sight? He told me it was for my own safety as the roads are slippy due to them being wet! Told him I had traction control and my car would not be slippin anywhere and does that mean we can't do 30mph in a 30mph zone when it rains? His response.........(silence) What a grade A wanker, made me out to be a criminal too, asked where I was goin, wh…

How can I tell if its running OK? Is a rolling road the only way? The reason I ask this is becuase I have never driven any other Z, nor have I been in any other Z while its moving. How can I tell if my car is running lean? Its running smooth and it started every time straight away. I cant complain about the power, its good, but I have nothing to compair to, except my friends Lancia Delta HF4 Turbo, which I can say has faster acceleration than that, just by feel.
