Default Help With My ZR1

So I bought a used ZR1 off auto-trader. I feel like I got a good deal and thats really all that matters. However, I have a couple of questions.

Is this how the driver side cargo compartment is supposed to look?

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/pict...ctureid=129792

My couple had two compartments with lids. I know in the ZO6 and ZR1 the battery is in the passenger side compartment. I've never looked at the driver side on a brand new ZO6 or ZR1. The guy in the parts department at the local Chevy dealership said there is no part listing for a door or even a compartment liner. This just doesn't look right with the carpet edges showing. What am I missing?

My front left TPMS is showing 49 psi, but a digital hand-held guage shows 28. Why would it be off by so much? These are aftermarket CCW's.

Will the NAV read DVD's with MP3's burned on them?

That's not how it should look. Only 1 lid back there and it's on the pass. side and holds the battery. The drivers side is just plain carpet. Not a hole like you have.

Not often, but sometimes they don't get put back in the same spot they came from. Check all 4 to make sure that one of your TPMS might really be at 48 psi. If that's not the case I'm guessing it's bad.

Dont have a clue about the DVD question.

Looks like someone cut the carpet open. The ZR1 shouldn't have access to the cubby hole on the drivers side and is usually covered by your carpet.

Could be a faulty tpms. I'd try getting a tire place or the dealer to resync the sensor with the car. Also I'd toss the digital reader, I had a bad experience with one before because it was reading a consistent 5-7lbs too low.


Not sure about the NAV. If your Z06s did in the past then the ZR1 will since its the same head unit.

Take a closer look at things to see if your used car was on the juice.

I'm curious how you came up with that theory.

They are part of the fuel system due to us running 3 pumps vs the Z06 only running 2 if I am correct.

The Z06 has the battery cubby on the right and a cubby on the left.
Buy the cubby box and install it. Just an idea.

Don't think it will fit because of the fuel modules in there

Epiphany: Looking at it again I see the outline of something on the carpet. I am going with someone installed a stealth box subwoofer from JL audio in there.

I am going to agree with whatcop? here. For the most part anyway. LOL. You can see the outline in carpet that something heavy such as a sub was sitting there in the corner. Looks like you will need a new rear carpet or put a sub back there yourself.

Is this the equivalent of pasting a kick me sign on your back?

I would go with putting the sub back in there
