Nah the COZ pre wired are for US spec zeds ive got a Jspec. Damn i knew this quyestion woukldnt be easy to get an answer. oh well ill keep searching and see what i can find. Cheers Smithy. I may pm u wen i remember to install the lights and ask for your wiring up method. But for now i dont want to install them until ive got a whole bunch of other new parts.

I tried posting this int Help Advice section but didnt get much of an answer so ill try here. Ok i know people say to just cut and wiring in the 2k headlights into the old headlight loom as the connectors are different. But there must be a wiring loom that the 2k zeds had to fit the 2k headlights that would be a simple plug and play method wouldnt there?? I know its probably the hard way to do this but i dont want to cut wires on my $2000 dollar headlights if there is a plug and play method. The other idea i have is to have an adaptor made up that will connect the old 2 connector headlight loom into the the new single connector 2k lights. All i need to know now is where i get the 3 pin connection connector for the 2k connector.

Ok so it must be a connector swap then?? I know there probably isnt any difference in cruise control function with the 32bit computer but i still want to add the unit and thus im just researching atm. Ill eventually figure it out. Like i said ill be upgrading my ECU at some point so that might mean new wiring harness etc etc. And im committed to OEM parts for now.

you guys dont know??? :confused: The second one with the green circuit board. The orange board is the pre 92 model Cruise Control computer. Its a 16bit processor for the cruise control, whereas the 92+ computer is a 32bit processor. From what the guys on the aus300zx forums had told me the upgraded cruise control computer was installed by nissan because The series one ecu is a 16 bit setup and has a 16 pin connector, the series two is 32 bit and has a 20 pin connector, hence the different plugs. Im guessing now in order for me to add the new ASCD in ill need to upgrade my ECU to a 93+ onwards ECU which i do plan to do one day, if im lucky ill try anf get a 2000spec ECU but that will proabbyl be a long shot. But even a 95 or 96 ECU will be fine.

Im talking about these units funky, Series 1: ASCD 89 > 92 Series 2: 92+ ASCD well my goal is to upgrade everything on my zed, that i can find that was upgraded. No its not the stalk with airbag but i will be doing that eventually, so expect questions on that. No im talking about the cruise control ECU in the ECU bay looks like this; this is my current seresi 1 ASCD with a 16bit circuit board that looks like this But the one i got from the wreck has a different number and the board looks like this; maybe this will clear it up.

bump

I acquired a Newer model ASCD cruise control unit from a wreck today part number 18930-40P14, and was wondering how would i go about installing it into my 89 model zed that already has the series 1 ASCD unit. From what ive read the connectors dont match as the newer ASCD is a 32bit ECU whereas my current series 1 ASCD is a 16bit. Can anyone answer this please???

well that sounds more accruate then what the aus300 forums gave me, which they thought was leaking PCV hoses. What would cause the rocket covers to leak. I had my 100k serivce done 10 months ago and i think i remember my mechanic told me about if it leaks in the rocket covers its bad i think. I only ask as i did my normal 10k service a couple of months ago and i added more then the recommended about of oil into the engine just wondering if this would cause oil to leak out fo the engine into the rocket covers. I also forgot to mention i have a rear main seal leak as well but i dout they would be related. I have also been checking the oil on the mainfold and have noticed no more leaking so far.

The last few days i had been smelling something like burnt oil while i was driving and then my gf noticed a few small drops of oil on her driveway after i dropped her off home last night. So i inspected the area under the rear of the engine bay for five minutes but couldnt see ay dripping oil. It was at night to so i couldnt see anything in the engine bay until today when i saw this on the mainfold I tried to get a photo of where i suspect the leak is coming from but i couldnt get a good enough shot with my crappy camera. But to give you a rough idea its coming from just under the plemum here; Coming from what looks like an injector bractor with 2 bolts. Now i know its not the PCV hoses as i check them the day after and they are all fine with now breaks or leaks of anykind. My fear is i may need to do a plemum pull What do you guys think??

probably, not what i would do either but it might give some ppl ideas

Well for me i always thought the 99spec front bar looked abit to plain and not aggressive as most of you guys have put it, for my liking. I was always into big chunky body kits when i first got my zed and i was plaining to get a veliside front bar and then i saw a few wide arch bodykit which i then tunred my focus on getting but since i began my 2000spec conversion ive had to rethink my opinions on the 99spec front bar. The extra lip might work but i dunno yet. For me bodykits are the last thing i want to add to my zed as when you think about it a car should represent who you are, in a way and should showcase what you think looks best on your car to the outside world. I believe that everyone is different and has different tastes in things and just because it looks ugly to some people doesnt mean others wont like it. Atm im focusing on getting as much 99/00 spec parts as possible eg, lights, engine parts, interior parts etc. and then look at the 99spec bodykit. Another ideal could be this. This is what a japanese guy swaped for his 2000spec front bar on his 2000spec ZX.

All the 99 spec Headlights are for RHD zeds The US guys get there lights from Japan and your right since the US zeds stopped production at 96 the 99spec headlights were only designed for the Jspec which is a RHD car. I know now thanx to some aus300zx.com forums members who have the headlights installed the CZP pre-wired versions are only for the US zed light wiring harness and dont fit Jspec zeds so the cheaper versions are the way to go for Jspec model zeds. As ive stated in the FAQ section the place im planning on getting my headlights from has them at $1549.99 USD which = £761.93 GBP not including shipping. I emailed them and they only accept Credit cards for overseas transactions:(. They also have 99/00spec tailights for $390 USD with center panel which is £191.76 GBP pretty cheap i think.

Cheers thanx smithy, i really want to get these headlights asap and i finally have enough money to get a pair:D. Even if the lights dont come in the plug and play version im hoping for, i will get them professionally wired up like what you did:).

Sweet thank you smithy, So what your saying is the unwired versions ive seen come with the HID globes and the ballasts and stuff i just have to wire it up to my wireing loom. IS it better for me to get the pre wired versions then?? I do want to tell everyone where im getting the headlights from but i want to get the lights first before i tell everyone as this plan my not work, as ive only just found out this shop existed in the US but the US forums gave them the thumbs up with buying parts from them. Ive already emailed them about the lights but dont expect a response till tomorrow so ill play it safe for now and just continue to ask questions but i can say they sell the headlights for $1549.99 USD (not including shipping) And they sell 2000spec tailights for $390 USD complete with centre panel.:)

I think the US guys have the problem with the projector angel but im still researching the lights atm. But thanx for the tip

Whats the difference. Projector different angel??? I thought cuz the lights didnt come in the US model zeds they were all Jspec lights.

I tried posting this in the FAQs section but didnt get much response. So ill try here as well Im in the market for the 99spec Xenon healdights and ive been shopping around and found very cheap set for sale in the US. Now I have a 89 Jspec model zed and my only concern is install the headlights. I have seen the pre-wired version and no wired version and it seems from what ive read in the aus300zx.com forums the pre wired version wont work for the Jspec models cuz they are designed for the US zeds. Has anyone on this forum brought and installed the 99spec xenon headlights and know how to do it. If i buy just the healdights, do i have to buy a HID kit anyways or is it just plug and play??? I know ill probably get a few members say dont spend you money on headlights just buy a kit for $300 but i wont my zed to have OEM parts on it and here in Australia the OEM Xenon headlgiths are very rare so i want to add that to my car. Atm im looking at $1900 delivered to my door from the US.

Sry bout the 3 post guys, pictures didnt show first time and then io accidently post the same pic twice

Recently i found a japanese guys personal 2000spec model website and have been looking at all the photos of his zed and found some interesting things. While i was checking the maintance section he made i found a picture of this Which seems to show a different designed brake master cylinder to what ive previously seen on all zeds, does anyone know anything about this new cylinder.

Cheers thanx Legrath, i will look into smithy version but ill see if an original nissan one is obtainable (probably not) but thanx for the tip. Whats there a special auto gearnob for the Version R or was the Navan gearnobs the only options???

Im not sure if you guys can answer my question or let me its true or not but the other day i found a guys personal 300zx page by accident (i was trying to goto the http://www.z32-zone.com website to check prices) and come up with this site www.z32.com Not sure if anyone on here has be to this site or not but he has a few scans of pictures from the 99spec Bochure and i just wanted to ask if any of the material in those photos were actually in the 99spec model zeds?? In this photo im curious to know if the door sills are chrome or painted silver and does the 300zx logo light up??? And what about the Shifters were these optional extras for the 99spec??? This picture shows the differences in interior styles for the 99spec, im guessing the left pics are of the Verison R and the other is just the Version S model. Any help with actual facts would be much appreicated on this thanx guys

Its ok i had the rims swapped over and then had to get the uni-directional tyres swapped as they were rotating the wrong way. ill put an updated pic of all 4 rims facing the rite way asap
