that certainly looks like the connector and the whole part looks simliar to what is behind the boss. I didnt end up taking the boss off today, just the steering wheel as was running out of time. Would I be right in thinking this is not a hicas compatible boss?

right so i managed to take the dash apart today. The hicas light was disconnected (and up in top right :D) so now ive hoked it back up. Without hicas fuse in the light is on, with fuse in it doesnt come straight on but when driving it like this before the back end was a bit skitty so havent taken it for a drive with it in and the light connected yet. Tried to put the car into the hicas diagnostic several times, obviously with the fuse in, but I cant seem to get it done. Thought i would then check the boss but is there any way to tell by looking at it whether it is hicas compatible? I have attached this pic because the horn also does not work but there seems to be an extra connection with nothing attached. Any help much appreciated

I stole this from the for sale thread but here is mine

Will get the dash opened on sunday me thinks and check the bulb then. Havent had a chance yet but if the boss wasnt compatible the light should be on anyway, now I'm pretty certain there should be one at least anyway. Strange my owners manual says european only for the light :hammer:

do you both have same dash layout as above? lol very conflicting

Thanks for the reply, rushed image I know and apologies to anyone I may have offended by using this pic but is the light along where i have circled? if so my next step is to check whether bulb removed!

I am in the process of trying to get the HICAS on my car back up and running. Fuse had been taken out by previous owner which I have now put back in. When trying to put into diagnostic mode, having a lot of trouble. In the manual I have, it states that only European models have the HICAS light, is this correct? I have the dash with no turbo gauge. Anyway, aside from this I can only assume that the steering wheel boss is not HICAS compatible but wondered whether there was anything else to try or how to check before I just order a new one?

Just paid my first year via paypal

Haha, well i must admit that I have been saving since April so havent done any fishing yet this season anyway! Im hoping that I won't have to fork out too much more money before the end of the year but it hasnt been 24 hours yet and I'm already watching a few auctions on ebay for some minor bits :P It was actually kings car so already has the forum stickers on there :2guns: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?164429-nissan-300zx-2-2-twin-turbo-manual-black-SOLD

Well I am now a member of the owners club, need to get myself subscribed!

Well went to see my first one yesterday, walked away after 5 mins! Not a good example and didnt think it would be fair to test drive and base my experiences on that! Richard - Any rough costs on a manual conversion? and would there be any downsides to a decent conversion rather than a manual box originally? Ian - Don't suppose you would be interested in showing off your car a bit at some point do ya? :thumbup1: And until i can afford the 2nd car ill do 2 trips if i have to for the fishing! Already accepted the drum kit isn't gunna fit, but thats what a vocalist and his car is for right?

Wow, cheers for the quick responses guys. It looked from pics like rods should fit so pleased about that, I did think about the ground clearance but most of the lakes I fish have pretty decent access so should be okay there. Im based down near guildford. Anybody round this area at all?

Hi all, I have been looking and admiring the zx for a long time and now in a position where I am actually looking to do something about it I was just after a couple of bits of info. I am not a fan of auto's generally but would love to know some opinions on how good the auto boxes are in these or whether it would be worth sticking with the manuals. Being a car thats not easily available for test drives, any comparisons would be nice. 2ndly, anyone on here a carp fisherman? If so can you get rods in the car? :punk: Thanks Daz
