I better go and check that I still have it then! Part# 62040-37P00

AndrewG (Sunday)Thanks!I missed that, where?I imagine that he will be selling the Zed for something more practical like an Espace!Congratulations Stephen!Ooh, looks just like the one I have.Unfortunately, I don't thing they will ship overseas.Au Revoir René
Where did you get your £225? They do half days too: https://www.goodwood.com/experiences/driving/goodwood-track-days/I would be up for a Goodwood day.You're welcome!The reason why LEDs will stay on when simply substituted for a filament lamp in a "low fuel circuit" is as follows. Most LEDs have a forward voltage drop of around 1.2V and a current flow of around 10mA to light up. When supplying 12V to them you need to include and additional resistor to drop the 12V down to 1.2V and limit the current to 10mA. Using ohms law the value of that additional resistor can be calculated as R = V/I where R is the resistor, V is voltage and I is current. So to get 10.8V drop at 10mA we need a resistor of 1080 ohms. This is almost the same value as the thermistors used in the "low fuel circuits" when submerged in fuel - 1 to 1.5K ohms - so the LED will light up.Yes, looking at your photo you still have the badge backing in place. When removed (it pops out) you will see this:
If you decide to stay with the OEM badge then I have one you can have. Alternatively you can go for an GZA aftermarket badge in Red (or Black) and available from US suppliers.
What are your plans for the centre 'Z' emblem?Great fix Andy. What was the replacement thermistor part number? Essentially the circuit works by supplying +12v (whilst the ignition is on) to the bulb which then grounds through the thermistor. Current passes through the circuit and is limited by the resistance of the thermistor which varies with temperature. When the thermistor is exposed it is no longer cooled by the fuel and heats up dropping it's resistance to almost zero ohms, inreasing the current in the circuit and the lamp comes on. When submerged the thermistor is cooled by the fuel and it's resistance increases limiting the current flow to the point that the bulb turns off.*** SOLD *** Pair of MSP manifolds. Please note that some material has been ground away on one of the manifolds (arrowed). The wall thickness is 3mm at the thinnest point. Also arrowed is where one of the heat shield lugs has been ground away. Otherwise they are in good condition. I don't have the fitting kit items. £250 including P&P to UK addresses. Priced to sell - no offers please.
UK spec in Blue. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?186302-Car-of-The-Year-2016-entries-!!&p=1938227&viewfull=1#post1938227 M25 Surrey area.Welcome back! Still selling s/h parts?Do you happen to know which Toad model is fitted?Firstly, have you replaced the battery in the fob? Do you have a spare fob to try?
