I've been slowly working through some jobs that need doing on the z lately and whilst trying to move the PTU onto the top of the nearside strut I thought I'd make a tidy job of it and get rid of some of the excess wire. When I stripped some of the loom back I was surprised to find it held together with bits of tape. I was also surprised to find a brown wire joined to one of the black wires from the 7 pin PTU connector. What is this brown wire for? And is it meant to be joined to the PTU wire? I'd have thought the PTU wires are so important that they're meant to be solely for the ignition circuit. Is this join and all of the loom being taped a sign that the loom as been messed around with? Or did Nissan make them like this? :confused:
Onto the next job....I've bought some new rear droplinks (just standard ones not adjustable) with energy suspension bushes and I can't work out if there's meant to be a set way to put the bushes onto the droplink as one side is flat and one side is rounded and one set of bushes has a small recess in the middle and one set has a bit sticking out. Any advice on this?
Finally.....trying to replace disks and pads all round I've broken the pad retaining clip on the front nearside. Anyone got one of these lying around they could send me? :)
