I have been using the autobox diagnstics test, and i'm no expert when it comes to something like a "line pressure solenoid" or a "clutch overrun solenoid"... It's all well & good being able to identify what the fault code is, but if you are new to the car and don't know what those parts are, where they are located and what you should do next... it's as good as.... Is there anywhere that has a guide to where all the line pressure solenoids and solenoids and circuits e.t.c that are mentioned in the gearbox diag?

I pressed my switch down to make the rear wiper do a little sweep.. then the button which I pressed down gently made a click, and now it wont let me do the sweep anymore lol, it's broken!!! I'm guessing I need to pull the pod off and clip something back in?? any advice appreciated

My car is pretty much spot on in everyway, exterior, interior.. except this bloody auto gearbox which as I have mentioned in the help section. I'm debating on getting a manual conversion, but was wondering if this is really solving the problem, also what will insurance be like when they realise it's been tinkered with in way that it's no-longer an auto.. and will this affect re-sale?.. Also, I don't really want to sell the car, because of a) prices at the moment b) the auto/man conv is almost half of what the car is worth... Obviously it's fate rests in my hands (or wallet) until I decide whether it's worth keeping and restoring, or getting something else and live h…

Drove down today to drop off some more bits! I hadn't seen the car in the flesh for about 2 months and i have to say Phil has done an absolutely outstanding job with this!!!:bow: It looks like a car again and Phil has put in many hours of work!! Some more updated photo's and a couple of questions. 1. The 1 piece prop where it goes into the gearbox (2nd Picture) Does this look normal as we think it could go in further? It is an Inland Empire one if anyone else is using this as well. Just need to know if this looks normal? 2. Wiring for the neutral and reverse switches. Which of the plugs do you use to wire in a neutral switch? There are 3, which i tried…

Waiting to get into the red car park.....Driver looked follicle challenged :eek:

Sorry only subscribed members are allowed to sell or post for wanted items Subscription only costs £20 so well worth it ;) All the best Mike

Drivers side under dash by the diag plug theres a connector with nothing in it? and cant find what should be in it lol any ideas people? p.s. sorry for the poor pics its the plug on the right.

Just found out my car has many vac leaks, all leaks are sorted bar 1, the passenger side turbo has a big leak according to my mechanic, he said that if you gradually floor it u will hear the leak, it is quite hard to hear as the exhausts are loud, its going in to be hooked up to a smoke leak detector to pinpoint the leak, I hope its not going to be to much trouble, looks like I will have to keep the boost right down till I get it sorted. Bloody car, does my head in sometimes.

Does anyone have an icon on their desktop that directs them straight to this site ?? I use one for E-bay, facebook, mail etc and they work great. I think they are used on vista only but could be wrong. If there isn`t one availabe, maybee someone could make one?? :)

Firstly, since getting my zed, it had a few probs, but with some tlc, and care its been getting better and better. It has been running perfectly for last 6 months, no probs with anything and is a dream to own. Last night, went out for a quick beer, weather was good, cant deny it, i drove hard maybe too hard. Got back and let it cool down. Until just now. Go to get a paper. Turn the key, and the most god awful whine and clatter is coming from starter motor. After a few heated words with each other, she aint playing. Jack up and have a look. Fooking top bolt on the starter has fallen off somewhere, thus the teeth are not engaging, hence the dam noise. Now wil…

Hi. Am i right in thinking the screens are bonded in? and are not a salvageable part?

H reg parked up in the high street about 9 this morning

I was driving home from work today, when all of a sudden the engine started to make a rattling sound, the sound gradualy got worse until i decided to pull up and investigate what noise was. when i opened the bonnet smoke poured out, i looked underneath the car and there seems to be what looks like water dripping from behind the plastic floor pan that covers the underneath of the engine. i tried to re-start the car to get me home and it started for a few seconds then just died out. ive noticed the temp guage is showing normal temp. can anyone help? by the way its a series 2 twin turbo. cheers si

Various comments on various sites regarding boost solenoids and hesitation under high speed/boost Comment 1 i had this problem 1 day after tinkering with the engine in my 2001 classic. was like hitting a brick wall at about 4000rpm. i sh*t myself! i checked all the boost pipes for leaks when i got home, turned out i had knocked the bottom pipe off the boost solenoid, oopsie! Re-fitted the pipe, prob solved. i would check all the boost pipes. Comment 2 I don't have any boost problems taking it of the bcs. First thing to check is boost leak. Might worth trying the car without the dv as they can be a problem. A doddy boost solenoid could cause boost issue al…

Hi there everyone, Bit of a strange one that I'm hoping somebody can help with. Cant get to the car at the moment to find out myself, does anyone know the distance from the center of the hub to the center of the caliper mounting holes? Thats on the front by the way. I'm making some brackets to fit Brembo calipers with 350Z discs. Many thanks, Rob

my z is seriously slow, timed it on stopwatch tonight over 3 runs, best i got was 9.3 then 9.7 then 9.8, not in that order tho, its also pap on fuel, i get about 45 miles on 20 quid, it runs smooth as silk and is quiet as a mouse, shows all clear on the ecu diag, and shows plenty boost pressure on the aftermarket guage, there is no smoke whatsoever at all no matter how long it ticks over, or how hard you accellerate!! i realise autos are gonna be a bit less fuel eficient/slower etc but ive had five of these cars and this is definately the slowest by far, so what do i do??? do i take it to jeff ( 300 miles away, fuel will cost me fortune) or do i give it to nissan, or does…

I drove my car quite hard today in the heat, after letting it cool down I noticed blueish smoke coming out of the nearside exhaust, it only seemed to thicken as the car cooled. After switching it off and starting it up several hours later I let it idle again, this time, there was no smoke. Whats causing this? & by changing the oil will it help to stop it smoking? cheers, Dan

im not sure if my auto is behaving itsself or not it seems to shift well particually in the first two gears but seems to shift later into third unless i back off a bit. there are no fault codes from the basic check and the oil looks clean and not burnt. should an oil change and a clean of the filter sort it out or could it be a solinoid. is it likly there is any physical damage to the box?

Evening boys and girls. Very long time no speak! I've finally got the zed MOTed this morning and it's now taxed and on the road. I'm after a few electrical connectors to finish things off properly if anyone's got any going spare. I need the following: TPS connectors, both of them on the loom side. Water temp sensor (the one with two pins). Lamda sensor, loom side and sensor side. Another one at the back, no idea what it is but it's exactly the same as the TPS inline one. Knock sensor, loom side and sensor side. I'm also after radiator brackets that would fit a big Koyo rad. Ta Happy zedding everyone!
