Steering column/wheel wiring help.
I dont have any photos but the back of the steering wheel s1 has a copper plate with grooves in it and these grooves link up with 3 copper pins on connected to the white plastic part for the indicator stork. From what it looks like Si you have all the avaliable CC wiring (Yellow connector with green & red wiring connected to it but i think your indicator stork block part is different or the same as mine. I can get you a photo of mine on monday if you like. Cant do much about it now as ive got 2 much on this w/e

Cruise control questions.
I dont think so. From what Nissan fast shows me the CC stork fits on the same Part as the Indicator stork does and as its on the opposite side of the steering column it wouldnt need to be any longer. This pix from a 2k model shows no extension of the steering column and plenty of room for a CC stork.

Z1 Motorsport
If you guys are looking for an alternative US parts supplier. Concept Z Peformance is the highest regarded Parts supplier, all Z enthusits should know about. I have ordered over $3k - $4ks worth of OEM parts from them in the last 8 months and i have never had any problems with them at all. As i use a 3rd party compnay to order parts from CZP for me i get Pricing on parts in AUD within a day of asking for prices and an order will always arrive at my door within 2 weeks. On both the aus300zx and 300zxclub forums CZP has always gotten 100% positive feedback from all members who post feedback and i would recommend them more then anyone else from the US. www.conceptzperformance.com

Cruise control questions.
from what iove gathered about the CC in the z32 there were 3 different CC ECUs or ASCD (Auto Speed Control Device). Now the 89 - 92 models had a 16 bit ECU with a 18 pin connector and then the 92+ models had a 32 bit ECU with a 20 pin connector. Ive discovered recently there was the there was a third part number for the ASCD but i dont know if its no different to the 92 + ECU. I currently have a 89 - 92 18 pin ASCD ECU in my zed now (came with the car) and i was lucky enough to get a 92+ 20 pin ECu but i have no way to connect it atm. Im hoping i can one day;).

Things you`re planning on your Zed over the coming months?
As much as id like to list what im planning to install on my z, i cant spill the beans yet. I want to keep everything a secret for a while, I have spent big bucks so far and still have heaps to get and do and i hope to start my 99 conversion sometime next year if im lucky. But during that time ill continue to drive her and maintain her as she should be.

Anyone have a SMZ version Zed?
unforeuntately not, the only things the auspec smzs get are the bodykit parts. no engine mods, no suspension mod, no carbon fiber interior additions just a standard 95 model with a stillen bodykit really.
-
98 R reg Zed
it does too, didnt even see that. it also must be an early 98 as the front bar is the old version.

98 R reg Zed

Sudden lose of Horn and Cruise COntrol functions
Tried posting this up on the aus300zx forums but didnt get much help there, which has got me a little worried as i dont have a horn or cruise control right now:(. Problem: Well basically my horn/cruise control has stopped working completely. Ive noticed it will work on and off and now its not working at all. I first started noticing this problem when the cruise control would have a couklpe of seconds delay when activating into cruise mode, which at first i didnt think much of, but now the cruise control wont activate at all and i think its becuase the horn isnt earthing properly and it being all linked. It has been like this for a couple of weeks now and i havent had a problem with the horn like this since i brought the car in September 2006. Yes i know the horns work and the cruise control does work as well. Attempts to Fix: - well i removed the steering wheel front pad part and found a connector was unplugged from the top of the pad so i reconnected it and everything seemd to work fine for a day or so. - After it stopped working again my father suggested the copper connectors might need a clean so we pulled the steering wheel off and then cleaned the connectors but didnt seem to fix the horn and i had to goto work so we decided to tackle it the next night. - On the third attempt my father did a test to see if the earth was working by using a screwdriver to link the earth bracket to the steering wheel metal center hub and the horn started working fine again:rant:. But it has now stopped working again after 3 days. Possibly related Causes: Early last year i had a problem with the horn doing the opposite of my current problem where it would just go off and not turn off while im driving it or parked in my driveway. At first we found a tin metal disk inside the steering wheel i think come off the Z badge on the wheel had broken off and was connectating with the metal. Though a few months alater the horn went off again while i was driving on a freeway, after i had removed this metal disk and i had to remove the horn fuse to stop the horn. Im not sure if this could be linked or the cause of my problem. My car is a 89 Japsec NA Auto. Has anyone come across this problem before?

Anyone have a SMZ version Zed?
over here in australia we have ausspec SMZ but come with far less mods then the US SMZ. The auspec SMZ's have all the Aero parts like front bar lip, nose panel, skirts and spoiler and ours are all NA's. But other then that they are as stock as any other 95 NA.

Electric Passenger Seat

Are There Any Zeds In Fast And The Furious
The original fast and furious didnt have any zeds as far as i can remember in the actual movie. But during the credits theres a 2 sec shot of the rear center panel of a z32. There is word of a z32 in the the 4th installment but its unsure whether its a background car or something a character drives. heres a pix. here is the aus300zx forums response to the pix which as u can see we all canned it and thought it was a pretty weak example to put into a movie. Mostly due to the pea shooter exhausts the car has. http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=275350

What is this little box under the ECU?
Guys its the ASCD ECU for the cruise control. the aus300zx tech section use to have photos that would of helped me confirm what the box was but im pretty confident its the ASCD unit. Check the part number, there were two different ASCD ecu units in the zed. The 89-92 16bit ECU which most cruise control zeds have and then the 32bit 92+ ASCD ECU. If u need the number checked ive got both and i hope to install the 92+ ASCD unit one day on my zed.
