Titus that’s not a Scottish problem though that’s a UK wide issue. There are too fewer meets and too fewer members who attend. There are various reasons for that and I’ve seen both sides of the coin. I appreciate Coventry is over 400 miles from you but it’s not an insignificant distance from me, in fact from some parts of southwest England it is over 300 miles. In a car that does 20 to the gallon and ownership base that isn’t compromised of millionaires that adds up. Btw meets are open to all, you don’t even have to be a member, it’s a free world... I do agree with your main sentiment though. The fee regardless how small does not warrent itself. An ability to send PMs in a small community that many of us talk outside the forum anyways, makes that less worthwhile. The amount of items for sale on here, is a fraction of what’s available. Forums in general not just this one are suffering and many are dying. Facebook is the reason, end of. To be a forum is not enough, you need to be a club and to be a club you need to do more than provide a forum.

I think temporarily il just get under there and manually close it. As you can imagine driving it in this weather with the heat jammed on, even if it’s not blowing it still raises the temp, is a little uncomfortable.

It only blows hot. I should hook it up to consult, on board tests show all the actuators work etc, the error codes are nonsense to me. It’s a long standing issue and I have a fiddle with it then give up regularly.

Balls. I was hoping you’d say it’s a normally closed 12v solenoid. Your right the Climate control is very clever for the cars age, or over complicated and annoying is the other way of putting it.

Brilliant. Do you know is it a simple normally closed affair that opens when 12v is supplied or does it work proportionally on a 4-20ma supply or something? Ie is it solenoid or more like a flow control valve?

All done. I used 4PK870 and 4PK1000. Snug but all good with the undersized pulley. #note those sizes were particular for my pulley set up and would be too small for a stock car.

Is that valve, the one with the blue/red circle below the hot supply? Ie if it’s closed cold matrix?

Belts and radiator replaced. The belts I went for Continental units in 1000mm and 870mm. My old power steering belt was past its best once I removed it. New belts were a snug fit... just for Jeff. Radiator I ordered a generic aluminium unit from EBay. It turned up emblazoned in Japspeed logos and cost significantly less than the ones on thier website:lol: Not bad for an hours work and no more coolant loss or squealing!

Do the Stillen centre consol covers come up often?

They always were more expensive though. There are various market factors involved there, America’s lack of Skyline and the limited EU market being just two. There simply isn’t that huge source of cars from Japan to flood the market in either market.

You can get the belts from any motor factor, they just need to be the correct size. Mine came from Euro Car Parts via eBay, Contibelt branded which is a division of Continental tyres.

Sure you’ve got the right one? The reverse switch is ok the neutral switch is a nightmare.

Don’t spose you’ve got the rear seat belts?

That’s the paradox with lots of these things, if your selling it’s worth nothing and if your buying you can’t find anything. Last week I sold a fish tank that cost me £1000 for 1p. I’d had it for sale for weeks. Couldn’t even get £50!

I haven’t lifted a finger mate. Howard’s done the lot. So blame him! :lol: In all seriousness though it’s a real microclimate here, so I wouldn’t bank on the forecast. What rain they’ve forecast has been very localised. I had a call last night saying it’s started, (we’re waiting for it) the clouds rolled in the sky went black, thunder and I’m think here we go then the heath set fire and not a drop of rain fell :no:

I do about 50k miles a year for Work (not in a Z32 thank god!) and I’ve had it and rarely used it then. Each to their own.

Thank you for the additional info Andrew. It was in the recess of my mind as I was concerned what impact would be had as my sensor is open circuit. After looking, I’ve deleted my PRVR so the impact, not much. Still intend to fix it though.

The stock fuel rail has a thermometer that tells the ECU. I believe fuel pressure is effected in this scenario.

Your right it’s rubbish. Oh I forget it can be of use in average speed camera zones. If you want to sit there doing nothing take the train! :lol:

Because it’s usless clutter in a sports car in a country where you cannot cruise for more than 10 yards. The only time I’ve ever been able to use cruise control is aboard or at 4am. It’s about as pointless as the BOVs you hate so much.

I don’t I’m afraid mate. Maybe they don’t do them anymore. Have a look on eBay mate.

Think you can get discs and pads made by brembo for reasonable cost from Euro Car Parts.

Well stop being a bell end and fix it then. :lol:

The lamp is dim because there’s insufficient power, wether that’s due to high resistance or low current I couldn’t say.

You could pop off the ECU plug and continuity test the wire. I had a similar issue which turned out the ECU plug wasn’t sat right.
