I have imported Obj files into Zbrush from Maya with no problems before ?

Have you tried converting a different object to Obj and tried to import that instead to see if its a problem with the scene you are trying to get into Zbrush ?

ur import steps looks fine to me, i dont see why they would not work, thats how i import to ZB,
maybe when u are exporting your obj you choose wrong options [which i doubt]

OK, Then lets try somethinsg else,
try searching the net for a free model in obj format and see if you can import that.
If you cant import it, then the problem is with Zbrush. If you can import it, then the problem is with how you are exporting from Maya.
Let me know how you get on

downloading models

I download a model from this site and then it opens up maya when it's done but nothing is there. What's going on?
