hi i've been having no end of problem with my blower motor not running. i've changed the relay and the amp but none of these seemed to have made a change to the situation. i tested the motor in the past wired directly to the a battery and it worked fine. i can only assume that there is either a positive or negative power supply issue. i have to make a temporary fix till the weather changes, just in case i have to make an emergency trip anywhere. I have read that the power can be by-passed and a switch can be put in place, can anyone sketch me a quick diagram outlining where the wires are to go on the plug going to the motor and which ones they are. i may find that there is a loose negative somewhere and only have to re-make that one but just in case i have to do the lot i need to know which wire goes where. The rest of the system works and i can hear the vents and servos working when selections are made. This is for the auto climate control system and not the manual type on a 91 N/A 300zx. Thanks in advance for any help. :confused1:

Send me an e-mail with your address : christopher.ottey@gmail.com We can then sort out a plan. We often travel from Kings lynn to Swindon via Northampton so it's no biggie for me to drop by. Chris

i have to put a scissor jack under the car first to lift it to the height that a trolley jack can get under it. There is a 3 inch clearance between the lowest part of my exhaust system and the road surface 5 inches between the road and the sill without looking under the car, so to speak. Hope that helps for a quick guide. This week ,I'm having the tyres replaced with some 45's instead of 40's that i now have in use. Talk about rattles and squeeks I've had this car since end Feb and i have taken care of five seriously annoying squeeks from rubber on plastic Contact and at least 21 rattles including, just today, the rear washer motor harness has a plug for the tail fin brake light i had mine removed but the plug was left cable tied to the harness which was knocking on the boot lid trim......only while the boot was closed.....took me ages to locate. The windows we won't even mention as the doors sound like a bag of bolts with the windows wound down partway, they must be fully open or closed , no grey area. The only time i get a chilled cruise is when i'm by myself. My Z dislikes anyone but me in it ( That's how it feels anyway ) Thanks for the replies:flowers:

I have HSK adjustable shock absorbers and find them a very hard ride. it has been suggested that i replace these with the originals to soften the ride. The current ones could be adjusted to soften the ride a little but not a lot. Does it make sense to do the swap ? If so what is a decent price range for the originals...........or has anyone got a set that they have knocking about. I will be putting the HSK set up for sale after the change over. I've also been told that the originals are a bit taller, is this true? The ride with the current ones is great on flat roads and corners/roundabouts are a pleasure. The local back roads are a nightmare for bumps , lumps and potholes and i have to use them frequently. Going a smoother route can add over a mile or two to the journey, which is quite crap when you just want to run to the corner shop. I also feel like i'm downgrading....going against the current so to speak. It's fine when i'm by myself as i'm used to the rigid ride but my wife and kids are winging...... I think it would probably be easier to contemplate replacing them, but will never openly admit it. HE! HE! Anyway, i just thought i'd ask the question an see what you guys think........THIS IS NOT A VOTE TO REPLACE THE KIDS OR NOT i know some of you guys have more or less already done this .......i might even have read somewhere that some one has even had THE SNIP......jammy sod !!! bit extreme though.........i think. :whistling:

RIP Norman, i used to love his films..

Hi Gibster-TT I just had a look at your car................i can see why you are thinking of calling it a day as you have more or less overindulged in the modding of your car. As great as it looks, it represents a lot if time spent working on it and you are now starting to think of the time it will take to complete................. You are living the dream of many Zed owner. Space , time , funding and the ability to understand instruction......not only that but the nerve to make big changes. I suspect that part of you is thinking what will happen when you actually complete it and what will you apply yourself to then? You seem to be a natural achiever of goals and ( IMO ) it would almost be going against your grain, to not complete the job.....You even painted the gearbox....c'mon. Stick to it mate. The experience and knowledge you will have gained to pass on to the rest of us NEWBIES will be so valuable and your car will be like a certificate of all you know. You may even be able to give a lecture at Zedaholics about the repercussions of overindulgence and knowing when to stop. The other side of this is Think of the ride ..........I'd love to own your car when it's finished. Mind you, if you really sick of the whole she-bang you should just donate the whole lot to me ( i'm not too proud ) and rest assured that you have done a great thing for a fellow human being ..............then you can help me finish it ...HE! HE! Naaaa! stick to it mate, you've come a long way, wish i lived in your neck of the woods i'd sure help give you the encouragement you need.

Welcome to the club mate, you will not regret your decision to get a Zed. This is the best place for advice and being pointed in the right direction. best of luck to you Chris

OK, how about a longitude and latitude then cuz Derby is a big place!

JeffTT E-mail me with payment details through paypal if you want, for that price i'ts worth me having it as a spare christopher.ottey@gmail.com

He! He!

Yes i agree, but i thought someone else might've read it and had something constructive to offer.......you did,........ but you didn't Naaaa, i just didn't read the date or anything just saw, read it, replied.... Thanks for making me feel like a donkey though( there's always one ) I would totally make my day if he has got some more pictures....in HD ( an i'd be like " In your Face Slick Pete, What ya got to say now ? ..... an stuff! ) Anyway..... I pulled the amp out and took it apart to find it was perfect inside, no broken contacts or signs of burned out terminals etc so that's sorted, i'm gonna run that through with a tester and cancel that out of the equation, Then I'm onto the relay, which i'm looking for a replacement ( anything to advise there " MISTER " Slick? )

Hi have you got any better pics as i'm having the same problem as you and would like to sort it. Did you find out how much a replacement part costed?

Not Much College Girls though..Running The Zed doesn't leave much money in the pocket to buy them the drinks!.. Now that is an " Inheritance " Good looking car shaggy, not my type of thing for the age i am now,but back in the day.....before the greys started showing......... Anyway You don't need money to buy drinks, what you need is a couple of cup holders and a thermos full of coffee.......an some banter.....you'll be alright ! .

ps i'm in didcot so the other side of Oxford, but there is a free jar of this stuff waiting for you bud Nice one mate, i usually go from Oxford to Swindon so it's easy for me to drop by en-route i'll message you in advance. cheers

I agree with both sides of the debate here. I think what we are missing is that a someone can tell if they are neglected on purpose or not. Sometimes you walk into a shop and the assistant is sooooooo bored that they sometimes " mung out " and you could be waving a white flag and couldn't get their attention. They are paid from the neck down and knew that when they took the job no matter what the rate is. These are not the rude type , just gormless......but harmless. Then you have the ones that have acknowledged that they see you but choose not to rush, these are often the better paid ones and are expected to use a bit of brain. They have done the job sooooo long and you are just another punter. The focus is getting through the day, you are a by-product of the banter they have at work....and boy do they like to let you know it. you can tell the difference between being served at Mc D****ds by a manager or by a trainee. OH! Yes ...there is attitude there also, as i found out not a week ago........ I've had
