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

Hey everyone, Just wanted to post up the new updated page for my Z of Cardomain.com. When i first posted my cars profile back in June 07, my goals where to add a big bodykit but ive realised i really want to make my car into a 2000spec model as best i can replucate that model. I have been researching the later model Zs throughly and found alot of improvements went into the z32 over the 10 years of production so i want to add those improvements as much as possible. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2645958 Im still building the site and theres plenty of stuff i still need to do but I hope that something useful is there for someone to use on their own Z Lastest Pics: These are my new rims i got already polished by another aus300zx member, love them to bits and the good news is the 2000spec models came with this as an option i think:P New rear bumper lights i got from ebay

The early 89 to 94 model zeds had the strip a grey colour and then nissan made the strip the same colour as the car colour which improved the look somewhat. When my 89 model was imported the strip was grey like the photo and then when i got hit in a accident and the insurance company replaced my front bar the panel beaters painted the center strip to match the car colour. At first i was gonna complain but then i posted on the forums and found out it was a update to the front bar from the 94 models onwould.

Wow everyone likes the new polished rims:), Im going to give them a good clean today but i need to polish them up myself a bit to get them looking even better. I didnt polish them myself i brought them already polished from a forums member on the aus300zx.com forums. As soon as i saw the pix i put my hand up for them and i havent stopped smiling every time i look at my car zed with her new shiny rims. Unforumately the center caps aren't polished and was thinking of getting chromed ones from the US but im not 100% if the center caps are different in the 2000spec photos.

Yeh i love the polished look, i think it has transformed my car heaps since putting them on. I have also discovered the 2000spec Version R zed had chromed stockies as an option rim choice (I think)

Finally my tyre woes are over, You see when i brought my car in 2006 the goodyear tyres that came with the car had gone all hard from the trip over from Japan. The hard rubber made the tyres make this rolling sound which when all 4 wheels where on was very loud and annoying to listento. About 1 month after owning the car i got what i thought were 6 zx rims with good tyres on them to only find 6 skyline rims with 3 x 2 different pairs of tyres on all 6 rims Anyways atm they were better then the tyres that came with the car so i made do with the tyres i had. A few months back i finally transfered my 2 rear tyres from the skyline rims to my zx rims but couldnt do the fronts as the tyre specs where different. (ones on the car where 205 and the ones on my zx rims where 225) Anyways after a few weeks one of the tyres blow on my while driving and couldnt be repaired so had to use one fo the shit tyres from before. And now 2day i have my new polished zx rims i got from Mike480 I love them and even though they are 2 different sets of tyres they all match spec wise. Fronts Kumhos ECSTA AST 225/50R16s Rears are Falkens Ziex ZE-326 225/50R16s Here are the old rims Here are the new polished ZX rims:) Stunning Beautiful
