Hi, During the process of changing/looking at new O2 sensors I found this - might help someone else so... I have not tried this yet - but according to Lucas - should work for all Zirconia sensors. The document is here: http://www.lucaselectrical.co.uk/catalogues/LucasLamdaXCB462_Full.pdf Here is a précis of the test.. Lambda sensors, unlike other types of sensor fitted to an engine, have an optimum performance life cycle, which generally lasts about 45 000 to 60 000 thousand miles. The decrease in performance happens gradually to a point where the sensor will become tired or lazy. The sensor still works but the reaction times are slow. Reg…

Hi everyone :) I have just removed the headlights from my Z ... OMG THAT was fun...My knuckles look like corned beef! One of them had let in a little moisture (hence the removal), so I have done the hair-dryer trick and got the glass off and removed the grey plastic tray. No problem with that...However, the reflector dish behind the projector lens really needs cleaning. It is seriously mucky, and I would really like to take it out and give it a proper clean, rather than just dab at it with a cotton-ball on a stick, but I just can't figure out how to get the little ****er out! Anyone know how to do it? Cheers! :)

After the issues with trying to remove my sensors that are dead. Two options i need a bit of tech help with. What causes them to die, have i have cleaned the connectors but still nothing? After chatting to Bee Gee Vinz, he had his relocated, im thinking of putting them further down the pipes, to make more accessible from under the zed. if doing this, what size nut do i need to weld onto the pipes aqnd where is best to situate them. Anyone else done this. Stu

Hi, Can anyone tell me what clips are used to hold the door runner finishing guide on? It's the part that the window guide runs through that can only really be seen when the window is down. It's item 80906/7 on http://www.300zx.lv/catalog/?gr=J&sec=809 and there are 4 holes, 1 round and then 3 oval shaped. The parts catalogue only shows the 1 top round clip so can anyone tell me what's on there cars for the other 3 oval ones? Thanks Vijay

Evening folks, I've noticed a strong smell of petrol and hugely reduced fuel economy over the last week or so. This is combined with the zed taking a while to kick in when starting and idling at what sounds like increased revs but not displaying very high on the dial. I had a look this morning and found a pretty fast drip which would account for the fuel loss, it's only happening when the engine has been running for a few minutes. I've attached a couple of pics showing the area, not very well highlighted as I only have paint!! Could you guys offer any advice on this, reckon it's a five minute job or something more serious? Many thanks in advance,…

in desperation, i need some advice on my front wheels and them scrubbing on the suspension. the story goes - ive recently got some 245/19s on the front (to replace my 225/18s). now the problem is that theyre right up against the elbow joint in the first picture, and i mean the wheels are almost being prevented from going to full lock. the first picture shows that even with that side of the car jacked up i can barely get my finger in the gap between the tyre and the joint - it doesnt look it but that's crushing my finger! needless to say that when going over even the smallest bump, i get some horrible rubbing sounds (oddly enough only from the offside though - ye…

Thanks to the DVLA and they're slow ass service of getting a replacement log book to me due to useless previous owner, my zed will still be off the road for another week or so. So this weekend I plan on giving it a good old clean as the previous owner had it stood for 2 years, and the paint is looking rather faded etc. I can do all of that fine, but the engine bay is manky, very very manky. Basically, you can't see the engine lol. What's the best way to clear all of the grime and crap from the engine? I don't want to take the risk of jet washing it or steam cleaning it, don't trust old electrics much! What would you chaps and chapesses recommend? …
