Hi all OK swapped the loom for a new one and have replaced the IACV. But I have been left with a misfire. All injectors are connected and I cant find any problems with hoses etc. Do you think it could be that the sensor on attached to the hose on off the IACV is stuffed? There was oil in my air pipes so this will no be in the sensor Im guessing. Would this cause a misfire? Thanks for any help Ill try your ideas on Saturday and see how we go.

A few weeks ago there was a thread about High idle speed on car converted from Auto to Manual. It was mentioned that one of the pins on the ECU needed to be Earthed to ensure the ECU recieves the correct TPS signal. I've been ask by a friend about this, but i can't find the thread and beleive me I have been trying but to no avail.

Just want to hear peoples opinions on changing my Grey Tweed OEM interior to a Blue Seude OEM interior from a 92 model. Is it worth the change, does it look good in a zed???

Having a problem with my dash lights and rear lights, in that neither work! Iv narrowed it down to a earthing problem (i think) as i have checked all the fuses and changed the headlight pod and still no joy.... When i turn the lights on the front lights work, but the air con temp lights do not dim, none of the dash or auto box lights come on and neither do the rear lights. if anyone had any better ideas as to what it could be then im open to ideas, but i think its an earth coming off the light pod that is the problem.. So, has anyone got any ideas as to what wire i need to re-earth?

Whats the best way of getting more stopping power. brake fade not so important as Im not track-daying it. Looking for more bite. Is it worth upgrading rear brakes at same time. Will them Brembo with 350mm discs do the job? or is there better? I thought the brembos were from the Skyline GTR and 6 pots? ta

I know, im asking too many questions, but i guess a new owner, i have to ask someone ha ha ha My car feels fine, steering is same all way full lock to full lock, But, once the speed goes over around 40 to 50 the steering wheel slowly goes off center by about an eight of a turn to the left. Once the speed drops below about 40 it once again goes back to sitting at normal position. I have a red hicas light, and once that lights up, the problem doesn't happen. Now from my understanding hicas is the rear steering ? but i was told this was disconnected due to it being terrible, again not sure if that is true ? how does this happen, and why and mo…

Whacked the ZED on consult the other day and was playing with everything as you do! I noticed that I could not switch on the fast side of the fan but it worked on the slow side. Has anyone else experienced this? and what did you do to fix it? I'm thinking that as I bought the car as a basket case with the headgasket gone its probably important to make sure all the cooling is correct. :rolleyes: jase

On the way back tonight and had a bit of belt squeeling, then the alternator light came on and loss power steering. Had a look and the crankshaft pulley has almost come off!! It is at an angle crashing into the crank case sending iron filings everywhere. Has this happened to anyone else? All I hear all the time is people having trouble getting these things off - not them falling off! Guess I need a new one... Cheers, Darren.

As above, did a search and found nothing. I am looking at a low standard type. Cheers.

Had to travel to Bath the other day to visit my bro and decided to borrow a tom tom gps from work.. Had it set to show my speed and to my amazement when my speedo was reading 60, the tom tom showed I was doing 76Mph. When I was doing 70 the tom tom showed 89Mph!! Even worse we're I would normaly cruise at 80 on a duel carrage way or motor way the tom tom showed 106Mph!! I know i've got 18" rims on the back so can appreciate the rolling radius will afect the in car speedo to a certain extent but this is way out!! No wonder when I was sticking at 70 and the police pulled me recently when it was wet to inform we I was border line to weather they would have me or …

This morning around 9.40am, Silver standard looking 300zx with a pram handle spoiler, driving out of Cortonwood Retail Park, looked like a K reg??

When i come to a stop at traffic lights for example, the car stalls unless i slowly roll to a stop or put it in neutral before stopping (its auto by the way). Does this mean the gearbox is on its way out? because im assuming its staying in too high gear thus stalling it. Ive noticied lately that it keeps going into 'power mode' when it feels like it to, i have to switch it into 'hold mode' then back to 'normal 'for it to come out of 'powermode'. please help

wot advantages do you get from fitting one of these also is it a straight fit :rolleyes:

Is there anyway to adjust the clutch pedal? the car has a receipt for a rps??? clutch, fitted about 2 years ago. but the pedal seems to have soft movement until half way through pressing it, when you can then feel the real resistance can the pedal be adjusted anyway so the bite is a bit higher, and that the pedal feels the same through all the travel of pressing?

Im doing a boost leak check on sat and will almost certainly need replacement silicone pipes. What are the common diameters?? Going to get it in 1.5 meter lengths from ebay.

Got my car back last night after leaving it with Jimmer for the last 3 weeks for him to do a full engine rebuild. I just want to thank him for doing such a top class job on my car and making sure everything was done to the highest possible standard. There probably wasn't a day went by that he didn't call to let me know about progress or that other parts looked worn and could do with replacing. Of course this rebuild could of been of totally been avoided if the replacement engine and turbos I had changed less than 1000 miles ago were fitted properly. Needless to say I've learned my lesson the hard way like a few other people on the forum. Anyhoo here's what was …
