hey guys my ptu has finally called it quits, the engine just wont start getting it opened and fix would cost close to 500 which i dont have.

i cant seem to find a second hand one for a resonable price.

if anyone was a spare one lying around, for a resonable price ill take it, need to get the z running again so my brother can use it to get to work (he wreaked his bmw) i dont mind him using it since im moving to ozzy next week (ill pick up a second generation ptu from there)

so yea if anyone could help i will be forever thankful.

msg me or scream me an email whenever you can. dtran2097@gmail.com

thanks.

Do yourself a favour and buy a PTU from an R32 with the plugs. A bit of soldering and your PTU problems will be forever forgotten.

No problems with the second gen PTU but you'll need to part with a fair bit more folding stuff than a second hand skyline version. I'm sure someone could help out with the soldering, where are you located.

If you're soldering adverse, or don't have an iron you can use Spade terminals instead, just get the smallest size. You also have to use tape instead of the plastic insulators as they're too bulky. Get them from Dick Smith for $5 a pack.

@TT im auckland but yea no worries imma let my brother sort it out... one of his mates is gonna source him a second hand ptu...should last him a few months lol

my mate in oz said he can pick me up a brand new second gen oem ptu for 400, a fair amount of dosh but it will save time in sourcing which i dont have. ill just pick that up when i get to ozzy.

when im there ill check it out and if any members looking for a second gen ptu i could probably help them.

@gammy hehehehe sorry buddy but i had no clue what you were talking about... have no clue when it comes to soldering lol
thanks for the help anywayz gammy, i had to google some of the stuff you said lol

thanks for the help guys i would go down TT path but time is at the short for me.

Wow that is cheap. I think I paid about $80 for my skyline PTU many moons ago.

Davo, I can do the soldering for you if you get a PTU with the plugs. Just bring the car around with a few beers. Shouldn't take more than an hour.
