    Just a couple of questions i couldn't find the answer to in search.

    Is there somewhere i can download a pdf of the user manual for my Z32?

    Its an 89 Aus delivered.

    How does the auto air con work? I understand setting the temp and letting it do the rest. but whats REC and ECON do?

    Also, the computer settings (Hold, A/T and POWER)
    Is there anything that explains this properly? Is it as simple as it changing at a higher RPM in power and the opposite in hold and automatic in A/T?

    Thats pretty much it. Thanks. Any usefull liks would be appreciated :thumbup:

    Not that I know of. If you find it, let me know. There are service manuals out there though...

    Unless someone changed the pod to a Climate Control one, your car isn't Aus delivered... (and your sig pic seems to be a 93+ Jspec one). Anyway, Auto turns on the aircon. Rec is recirculating air in the cabin and Econ is just air, no aircon.

    I can't help you with your Auto questions though... ;)

    Check the tech section for a pdf service manual

    REC, is recycle. ECON is just the fan (no cooling).

    Does that have the owners manual on it or just the service manual?

    Not wanting to hijack your thread, but .....

    to carry on from preceding posts, I have an Ausspec owner's manual in very nice condition. What would be the easiest way to get it into electronic form?

    Cheers,

    Peter

    A good photocopier/scanner multifunction device... I've got one at work that I'd gladly use and make the end result available to the world, but I don't have a manual.

    No sorry yours probably is not Aus Delivered

    All (early at least - not sure about the last ones) Aus delivered had Manual Airconditioning, not the climate control "auto' type. Changing from the manual system to the auto one, would, I think, be a massive job. I doubt that anyone would have converted an Aus Spec to Climate control.

    Need a shot from the back to tell if its AUS delivered or not, if it has the 2 red reflectors then its probably Australian Delivered.

    Nice looking car BTW. Nice buy

    Edit : just noticed your car has the front side indicators, prob J-Spec.

    JSPEC buddy. Hope you didn't buy it from a dealer as an AUSSPEC...I'd be going back there with your cranky pants on...good AUSSPEC's command a slightly dearer price.
