    I have an 89 J-Spec 300zx and i have only just read on here about PTUs and how they fail ect :eek:

    Apparently they fail at 100,000-130,000 ?

    As my car reads 134,000+ i am starting to wonder what series mine is

    i am assuming that it is a series 1

    If it is a 1, what is the best thing to do, to either wait till it fails and try to repair it as in this guide

    or can you just buy the newer one and it would bolt right on? Also how much do they cost :confused:

    Thats a Series 1. Get a Series 2 when you can and swap it. No point in fixing them, they will just fail again...

    As for when they fail it seems to be pretty random, not directly related to k's.
