Hey... how much and how long ago did you do any maintenance on it? it sounds like a hunting issue and could be down to lots of thing or a combination or things.. to start with see if you can put it on conzult or ECUtalk or get the error codes (if any)... I'd check and clean all electrical connectors in the engine bay, common culprit is the ecu temp sender unit, the one on the left of the top water pipe with two prongs).... connectors (CAS, injectors, coils PTU, TPS..ect) , check tps voltage, air filter and MAF, plugs. a proper boost/vac test is also a good thing to check, vac leaks can cause all sort of running issues. this is a good guide on erratic idle... http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.335 and this one on hesitation.. http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/PICS/hesitation/hesitation.html and a very good it of information and guide.. http://twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=922678

A/C #11 (2nd row 4th fuse), Blower #13 & 14 (2nd row, 6th and 7th fuse)

yes... but obviously it's dependent on temp... there are a couple of fuses that control the system.

thanks guys... :thumbup1::thumbup1: I'll pass them on... :)

Hey Guys, I've got a friend who is building an MR2 track car with his son and wants friendly helpful advice about this type of project. If anyone had recommendations that would be great.. :)

this any good... http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/wheel-fitment-and-tire-size-guide-nissan-300zx.html I just did a search on interweb...

have a word with Silverline (Steve) he gets them from the US and can advise exactly what you want. Personally i wouldn't bother fixing your standard ones and then upgrading later... would be a wasted expense.

Ah yes... patience and time... and then when you think they are perfect... they just don't lime up right with the textured lens...lol.. (but no-one will notice :))

I see... emailed anyway.... you might find them useful.. :)

Hi José, I can email you a set of instructions for removal of light and for fitting the clear lens.

so do you think it's the actual speedo unit in the cluster? have you had it apart and checked it for any visual problems? and in my opinion turbo timers are a bit of a waste of time :).

DO NOT TAKE IT TO ANY mechanic that isn't familiar with Zeds... it will just cost you a lot of money and won't get fixed. is it blowing water into the overflow? is it loosing water? is there oil in the water or water in the oil? have you checked the connector for the ecu temp sender unit? ( the two prong unit) what coolant are you using? was the rad swap for a new rad and new rad cap?

is there a way to bleed the ABS section?

not quite as often as you like... they do an iron check and if you give too often it could show as low ... so I'd say one a month would be a good show. My wife was a regular and she was told that if she showed as having low iron it would be three strikes and you're out... i.e. taken off the register.

LOL.. very good.... Orange was my favourite colour when I was a kid... glad I got over that.. :)

I like that... :) ...

looks like its quite popular in the USA as a mod but lost of mentions on the net of some spec cars having it as standard.... http://www.kahtec.com/smart_stop.htm the very fast strange looking led flash is indeed only seen on video recordings and is due to the refresh rate.. like in this one...

and in case you hadn't found it.. this one is very good and shows everything about pulling the dash... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?151390-Series-4-manual-air-con-to-digital-conversion-%28pic-heavy%29&highlight=matrix

yeah, I've got to do my heater matrix and been looking at doing the job... you are 100% correct as well as other repairs (like lifting vents & targa drain) are made really easy and might as well check them at the same time.

agreed... I only put the post there to show options and info... :)

this might be a bit of help... http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.341 on this pic you can clearly see the two hoses that go to and from the heater matrix... these are joined together or blocked off for the bypass.

Si, there are plenty of post of fixing the heater code and by-pass with pics... do a search and it should give you a better idea of what to look for..

So are you both saying that rear LED break lights for cars DON'T actually flash, it just looks like it on TV???

Hi and welcome... like tomfromthenorth said twice (lol) if you are running the fan the car will be using the air con and idle higher. if not then you have an issue with what cold be many things from timing to a good clean out... this is a good one to get started on... http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.335

I've got a half way one on mine.... can't say I'm impressed... reminds me of this: strange but that was my favourite Thunderbird.. :)
