Ok list of probs with my Z. Hopefully someone can sort.

 

Why does the electronics illumination panel under the speedo read backwards??? Plus none of the lights work on it properly :(

 

There seems to be a blowing on the left hand exhaust and a small clicky, tappet like sound but not. The sound is from the exhaust not the engine.

 

Mine is a 92 TT Jap manual. Does it have cruise control? and if so how the f**k can I turn it on. I know I sound stupid but Until 3 months I'd never been near one of these cars, let alone drive one. I couldn't turn the window washers on until the garage showed me. LOL

 

Is there anything that can repair or make good cracked leather? The drivers seat is starting to look worn.

Cruise control buttons should be on the steering wheel (if OEM). Not all Zeds had cruise as standard though..

 

Good leather restoration kit - http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=36539&highlight=woolies

Could have a cruise steering wheel retro fitted though ;) Cruise control on/off switch is located on the right hand pod (the one with the headlight switch on it) :)

Ok so I don't think I have cruise control. No biggie. Its just those backwards lights list it on there.

If the text is backwards, someone's put the plastic strip in back to front... if you take it apart and put it in right, there'll be no bulb behind the Cruise Con section so it won't illuminate anymore... search remove speedo for links (very easy to do - few screws, and some electrical connectors to remove)

ooh another thing. Last year or so the car had new rubbers for the targa top. I still keep getting dripped on when its wet. Its ok in town, but on a long journey I get out the car looking like I pissed myself. I've inspected all the rubbers and they are good. Could it be they are badly fitted?

targa rubbers could be good but door rubbers crap, check the join between the two seals, try a bit of peanut oil on em
