Quick one on changing from series 1 to series 2 PTU i understand that you need the harness for the series 2 but is it just a case of cutting the series one harness off and crimping the series 2 harness in?

1 end of the new series 2 harness plugs into the series 1 haarness and the other end in to the new PTU, no cuting/splicing etc, simply plug in and you can't get it wrong. total time should be 10mins including fitting on cam covers.

Ah super cheers Smithy

ive taken the plunge and gone for a brand new series 2 ptu upgrade kit from czp which i was very happy with the price. 200 dollars delivered to the UK now as long as customs are nice it will be a great bargin i expect to pay VAT on it anyway which wont be too much.

Its on next day air so will be here next week some time got it on tarcking number plus ill be happy with a series 2 kit for £140 cheaper than i have seen over here. :thumbup:

I bought a wiring loom from the states, and got a letter saying it was here, but i owed 80 quid duty, not good!

I know Z1 is quite nice and will send out parts listed as samples which i think misses the duty so i hope czp do the same

You don't have to cut and solder, as Smithy says just plug n play, but......

Consider that your car isnt new (which it isnt) so neither are the old connections that are currently connected to the old PTU. So they arnt going to make the best of contact with the new plug!

 

Either way, if you want to solder info is here >> http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=128599&highlight=solder

I was looking at soldering if i was getting a second hand series 2 ptu but as im getting the new conversion kit i will just clean the plugs up and check them for continuity. Wasnt really happy with the idea of soldering so many wires together it creates another weak point imo

I paid £50 for my PTU from american ebay :) Including pnp, and no import tax

Your not selling your new series 2 PTU now are you fella?

smithy

no its like buses wait ages for one to come and then 2 come at once. A mate of mine has got one and must of been keeping it a secret from me my new one is on its way from czp :)
