The GLL models had the amp under the passenger seat

The antitheft box is located under the passenger seat. The amp is also located under the passenger (I think) on models that have it.

The ecu's in z31s do have diagnostic codes you can lookup. I believe the ECU flashes lights to represent codes. Read more here https://dev.z31library.com/xenonzcar_archive/z31/ECUcodes.html

But where is it? I thought under the passenger seat?

Passenger side kick panel. Behind the plastic trim piece under the glove box on the side of the body. Have you checked the FSM and XenonZcar?

You're probably referring to the standardized OBD-II plug that is found on all late model vehicles. The Z31 predates this common standard.

Yeah. The 96 300zx is the only 300zx with OBD-II. Vehicles before 1996, so any z31, does not have OBD-II
