Indicator help please
The hazard switch effectively bridges the stalk switch for L&R indicators, so you symptoms suggest the stalk is malfunctioning or the local wiring is faulty. You could also check the connector to the stalk.

Indicator help please
The green repeater lights in the top of the instrument panel are doing what (for stalk operation and hazard switch)?

air con not working
My apologies, my post above implies that the engine should be off, FSM states that engine should be running, have another go...

air con not working
Rich, I get the same readings as groover's results above (on entry to diags - 15 with a dash under it and demist symbol). This is without the engine started (should be running as per FSM diag instructions). I can't start the engine at the moment as I'm servicing the car, but have you got the engine running?

no cig lighter
Here are the pages from the '96 FSM for the relevant sections for the cigarette lighter circuit. The '96 diagrams are easier to follow than those published in earlier FSMs. The 20A fuse shown on EL-170 (fuse position 5 - kick space fuse block) is shown incorrectly on EL-11 as going to the horn. The accessory fuse is on the reverse side of the kick space fuse block. The "blue" fuse is in the fusible link holder in the engine bay o/s back of suspension turret. You can use the diagrams to trace back the fault to the battery. el-10.pdf el-11.pdf el-170.pdf

Did you take a look at pages HA-119 -> HA-123 to follow self-diagnostics steps?

So you think a zed is expensive now to run!!
If the second invoice is from SE, then the prices for the injectors and ICs are inline with the published prices in their catalogue of that period.

air con not working
Ignition ON, push "AUTO" and "OFF" buttons for 5 seconds+ puts the system into self-diagnostics. The self-diagnostics are described in the FSM section HA pages 118 and on: http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/manual/manual/ha/118.gif

Any electronic techs out there!
Alternatively, you could wire it into the interior light circuit controlled by the door switches (diode connected).

Colour code required!
My series 2 UK brochure has Panther Black (GL1) as one of the colour options (a solid colour).

This fills me with joy
Why, because he dosen't care what people think and wants to "get a rise out of people in Mailibu with all their money with his angry fast crazy RX7" It's not my cup of tea, but it made me smile watching the video, and that's good enough for me.

Boot installs....... and Targa Panels eek!!
No it dosen't, and it won't fit over the rears either now. However, there may be a solution to keep the spare and use an oversized spacer to clear the brakes. I came across a post on TT.net that mentioned it, but haven't mocked it up yet to see if it works.

Z32 Crash Test
I know, I stumbled across it whilst researching for the launch of the Z32. Maybe someone else can add some information about the video clip...
