"pit" warning message on Japanese 350z Roadster im

Hi,

 

I am new to this site, but I have had my 350z for about 6 months - but I have a couple of questions which I was hoping people might be able to help me with. I have tried searching the forums, but didn't find the answers I was looking for. OK - to give you some background:

I have a Japanese import - 350Z roadster, six speed manual, Jap Sat Nav, Bose Stereo TV etc. First registered in Japan 1/10/03 - Non Brembo brakes, tan and black webbing seats.

 

OK - Now on with the questions; most stupid first:

 

1. What does JDM stand for?

2. Even though I have had my car serviced by a Nissan Service Centre since it has been in this country - after I had the car a while an error message appeared on the Sat Nav Screen (in Japanese) with a picture of a spanner in green and the words "PIT" - I have attached this picture. I had this screen translated and apparently it means that I need to have my oil filter changing (which I don't btw) and I understand that this "service warning" light can be reset in the cockpit - Nissan dealers have told me that UK Spec models don't have a "service wanring light" so they can't reset it. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know a fix for it?

3. What the flip-flop is an Auto DJ and how does it work? (I have a button near the roof that says auto DJ)

4. I have read on this site that imported models are restricted in speed - now (obviously, I haven't done this) but hypothetically, if I had undertaken a Mercedes who wouldn't move out of the fast lane at 125 mph - does that mean that my car is restricted or not?

5. Also I read that Japanese models have smaller fuel tanks - however, even when buying the cheap-skate fuel, I can still stick 60 quids worth in - how much can kids driving UK models put in their tank?

6. In the large central console bit, I have a wired phone adapter (but for a Japanese phone) - can I get a converter to convert that to fit a Sony Ericsson?

7. In the large central console bit, I have a random button - no idea what it does, the button is round and black if that helps?

8. I have heard that Japanese models have wing mirros that fold in when you turn the engine off and tilt down when you stick it into reverse - mine don't - would this be because I'm simple, or is it because the little fella that owned the car before me didn't get that option installed?

 

Any helps with these questions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Q2. I've always had the same question and never got round to sorting -Someone mentioned ECU test - how do I go about sorting this out? Secondly there is a very useful and specialist import centre for JDM Zeds / Nissans - DSA Automotives - I'm sure they can confirm what ths PIT message means. Would ring them but currently in office so need to be careful.

 

Moderators - Am I allowed to post this centres tel number?

Is this the connector to Q.6. I posted this about a week ago, but had no luck so far sourcing. I am told that you need a cradle from Japan rather than a UK cradle. :thumbs:

Uk cars there have the telephone kit... are they pics from japan?
