Nissan 300ZX TT 1991 Black (NRD)
The car was bought in July 2019 as a winter project. It had been sitting on a drive for 10 years and needed a bit of love and rebuilding. The engine although in place, wasn't connected up, so that needed doing. There was an after market intercooler kit to fit and a bumper to fettle into place. Everything was done myself and I have learnt a lot about zeds through this project! The car is now running, albeit with a seized caliper! At the moment it is staying on the drive until the caliper, timing belt and other service related jobs are done when I can then MOT it and start using her. Future plans include: Tidying up engine bay, fitting decent boot lid, spraying all alloys the same colour, finishing the ICE system inside and working out why its the only zed that will drive onto my really steep drive!

ECU information
When I put a TT ECU in the car by accident it ran really smoothly until 3000rpm when it had no power. When I put the NA ECU back in it started doing it's hesitating cough as you first press the accelerator, pulling away from stand still can be difficult as it keeps bogging down and trying to stall. It's done it for years, but now its time to fix it. So I thought get another ECU and start from there, especially as the TT ecu ran smooth and it pulled away fine. In the past I have changed the MAF, all filters, spark plugs, checked all wiring and it still does it, so hoping it's the ECU!

ECU information
I'm trying to find out what the codes on the ECU mean with the end goal of buying another NA ECU. When ever I type anything with the words "ECU" and "codes" into Google, all I get are the fault codes. I have a spare ECU with a big "36" on it, but I think it's a TT ECU. I've seen ones for sale with "21" and ""25" I think. Does anyone know of a list of all the different codes and what they mean? I want to buy a NA manual ECU as mine might be causing problems and wish to troubleshoot Thanks!

Magnificent Motors - Eastbourne
Magnificent Motors at Eastbourne is being held on Saturday 2nd May & Sunday 3rd May 2020. Tickets to show your car are free, but you must got to the website and pre-book as it fills up fast. Link to website here: http://www.magnificentmotors.co.uk/ Both days start with a calvocade, a convoy down the seafront to the show ground (The Western Lawns), then you get parked up and spend the day either at the show or around Eastbourne as the seafront is a 5 min walk from the town centre. There are plenty of hotels for accommodation, with most actually on the seafront. I have booked both of my Nissan's in for the show and would be good to have some more plus the club banner turn up? Any questions, just ask!

Drivers door won't unlock
When mine did this (iin a supermarket car park!) it was the plastic door lock mechanism that had given up. After removing the door card and swapping them out, its been fine since and actually feels stronger when turning the key https://conceptzperformance.com/czp-billet-aluminum-door-lock-cylinder-mechanism-upgrade-nissan-300zx-z32-czp-80550-cnc_p_40822.php

London Ultra Low Emission Zone
We have ULEZ in Brighton city centre now. Our training buses for the Noobs are not allowed in the zone (engines are not compliant) so the trainees never learn how to drive around the city centre (busiest/craziest/dangerous roads in the whole city) then they are dumped into it the first day in service....
