  1. had a discussion about this a while back.. viewtopic.php?f=13&t=60702
  2. it also says in the advert, cloth trim, it looks like leather to me.
  3. I'm already thinking of my annual Australia trip @the end of the year/early next, don't normally think of it till around October, but this weather is getting me down

    Bumper Damage

    the alignment is out also, because it's been pushed in on the offside, but suppose that can be rectified easily

    Bumper Damage

    It's a company vehicle, so I guess the company will be paying. there also seems to be some polystyrene stuff behind the bumper, will that be OK?
  6. Hi Guys. the guy next door, as reversed into my car looking at the pics, do you think it will need a new bumper, the fitting lugs on the indicator pod have broken off, and also a bad dent where the neighbour tow bar hit it
  7. I think if I decide to go to OZ again, I'll be finding some way to keep it connected, sounds a real ball ache. 350Z ECU Resetting Procedures Please read all instructions and be familiar with them before any attempts. A stop watch or an analog clock with a second’s needle will be useful. ECU Resetting Procedures Timing is extremely critical. If it is NOT DONE within the specify time, the ECU will not reset and the Check Engine Light (CEL) will continue to remain ON. A stop watch or an analog clock with a second’s needle will be useful. Operations Procedures 1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON†and wait 3 seconds. 2. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds. 2a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD). 2b. Fully release the accelerator pedal. 3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking. 4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking) 5. Wait about 10 second. 6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds. 7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink). 8. Turn ignition switch to “OFF†position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone. If the CEL light continues to remain ON, repeat the above steps. Timing is EXTREMELY critical to resetting the ECU. Accelerator Pedal Release Position Learning Operation Procedure 1. Make sure that the accelerator pedal is fully released. 2. Turn ignition switch “ON†and wait at least 2 seconds. 3. Turn ignition switch “OFF†wait at least 10 seconds. 4. Turn ignition switch “ON†and wait at least 2 seconds. 5. Turn ignition switch “OFF†wait at least 10 seconds. Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning Operation Procedures 1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released. 2. Turn ignition switch is “ONâ€. 3. Turn ignition switch is “OFF†wait at least 10 seconds. Make sure that the throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound. Idle Air Volume Learning (Throttle Position Learning) It is better to count the time accurately with a clock. Operation Procedures 1. Perform “Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learningâ€. 2. Perform “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learningâ€. 3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature. 4. Turn ignition switch “OFF†and wait at least 10 seconds. 5. Conform that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON†and wait 3 seconds. 6. Repeat the following (steps 7a, 7b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds. 7a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD) 7b. Fully release the accelerator pedal. 8. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 20 seconds until the Check Engine Light (CEL) stops blinking and turned ON. 9. Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the CEL is ON. 10. Start engine and let it idle. 11. Wait 20 seconds. 12. Rev up the engine two or three times and make sure the idle speed and ignition timing are within the specifications. The Easy Method: After experimenting with different timing, and reading posts by other members, I've come up with a condensed method of doing this reset. This method works EVERY time, even w/o a stopwatch. I've used this method successfully a dozen times, or so, now w/o a watch. After a few times, you won't need a watch or instructions. You'll get so darn good at it, you'll find yourself doing it while waiting at a traffic light. Timing is not as critical with this method...no stop watch needed. Just count in your head...one-one thousand, two-one thousand, etc, or use stop watch. The most critical step is step #3....wait 10 sec, instead of 7. 1. Ignition "ON", count to 3. 2. Depress/Release pedal 5 times...hard and fast. 3. Count to 10 (not 7!) and fully depress pedal 4. Count to 12 (SES should be blinking), release pedal 5. Count to 10, depress pedal 6. Count to 10, release pedal. 7. Turn off ignition, then start engine. Done! Accelerator Pedal Release Position Learning Operation Procedure 1. Make sure that the accelerator pedal is fully released. 2. Turn ignition switch “ON†and wait at least 2 seconds. 3. Turn ignition switch “OFF†wait at least 10 seconds. 4. Turn ignition switch “ON†and wait at least 2 seconds. 5. Turn ignition switch “OFF†wait at least 10 seconds. Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning Operation Procedures 1.

  8. this is news to me, no wonder I had problems, when returning from 6 weeks in Australia, and finding it wouldn't start

    Exhaust options!

    I have a Scorpion, (the blue Z in this vid)
  10. I only came on the Sunday, throughly enjoyed it, and the sun shone too, many thanks for all the people that organised it.
  11. it's certainly on the inside, might wait till summer, and hope it goes away. BTW, do you need to take the headlight out to change the bulbs?
  12. gas mark 5? is it a easy job to remove the headlight, joking aside how warm should the oven be, I don't want a molten mess when it's done.
  13. Hi guys. Is there a way to get rid of this, I've used a hair dryer, but it always comes back. suppose the seal as gone somewhere.

  16. Try the space cake http://www.babashops.nl/
  17. this is from last year, if anybody's interested http://s238.photobucket.com/albums/ff78 ... CF0457.mp4
  18. Pretty sure that's punishable by removal of the man card, only women worry that far off!
