Had my z on the dynamometer today and it gave me a report off, 250bhp and 270 toque.I found i had a crack in my bov pipe which was pissing out air when reving it,could this have been the problem?? or what else could i check??Boost gauge reads 10 PSI.I have a k&n induction kit and 4inch straight through single exit exhaust.If anyone can help cheers.

3:45 pm . I was going the other way in a dark red Zed , flashed you , but I was a bit late , I think .

ive been checking my car out and the egr is on until it gets to 1688 rpm 15 mph 19 degrees timing temp 54 degrees its off up the range until it switches back on at 3188 rpm 27.5 mph 32 degrees timing temp 56 degrees it seems to switch ono and off in relation to the timing so at 15degrees its ON when it switched to 19 degrees its OFF up till 32 degrees. does this sound right if not what would be the symptoms of this switching on and off respectively.

as above where you buy em and does any one know the spec as i only had one that i was carrying about trying to find replacement ones and i cant find it now lol i bought the unit second hand from here ages ago! Si

yellow zed lavant straight on the way past goodwood, sunday afternoon. looking good

I've trawled all the exhaust threads and I think I found an answer to one question, but need some additional advice please...... Decided to de-cat my jap TT and have a Mongoose cat back system and some new downpipes ready to fit. Managed to squeeze under the car today (built some wooden ramps) and I noticed the existing exhaust has a smaller attached pipe running back to the front wheel arch (and I assume into the engine bay) on both sides along with a further sensor nearer the cats. My new down pipes don't have connections for any of these but I've read that they're not needed as I'm de-cating and all these bits are for the cats. So is this correct? If it…

mentioned before but after real detail now... How much work will it be to fit a pair of s14 coolers to replace my zed ones? the car has a 99spec front, but how much work / power gains... are these coolers ive got going to be worth the hasstle? Id luv a fmic but no spare cash and plenty of other things to do on the zed first, but was thinking these would be a cheap upgrade in the mean time.... guys are running upwards of 16psi on these coolers on 200s so they must be strong... but are they worth the hasstle?

hi just wondering what people think of the blue flame exhausts that they are selling off the shelf on ebay ones that look near standard? and also the stainless decat pipes that are for sale on ebay too? just had mot done and now nolonger needs a cat test for some reason :D Thanks Si

I checked FAQ and cant find answers to these two... Was giving my car a bit of stick on a private airstrip and under load the speedo suddenly went to zero and stayed there. I slowed right down and went into second and it started working again!!! Never done it before. Was wondering if this was a common thing or maybe a sympton of something else? Is working fine now. :confused: secondly, my gears crunch going into fourth, but only under load. My mates R32 GTR does exactly the same. Is this a common thing for nissan gearboxs when they are old. It doesnt mean its about to die does it? I cant afford a new box! :mac1: I have just had an RPS clutch upgrade, do y…

Hi guys Can anyone tell me if i can use a conzults cable with datascan? I already own conzults, which has helped me numerous times. but Datascan looks better a a driving aid. I as hoping to have permanently plugged in and be able to switch between the two programs. Regards Kev

The two zeds who turned up at the bluewater meet last week, one was a two tone grey. I wasnt there but my mates spotted you.

Me fuel gauge is up it me thinks, the light came on at just under quarter tank. Should this be normal or is the needle out of position. Cheers, Scrawni.

Yellow zed on A10 with yellow sunstrip. near to white hart lane. I flashed and waved but you ignored me!!!!! :mac1:

hello all,may anyone know where i might be able to get hold of some centre wheel nuts which holds the centre cap inplace for my impul alloys as one went off in the other direction as i was driving today :headvswal

does anyone know please? Front and rear.

saw a few yesterday at pease pottage services and m23 going down towards bolney village :nana2:

Aftermarket bodykit and cheapmarket beanie cap :p I was in my Z and flashed but you didn't look, was it you near the rugby stadium?

after a lot of leaking down the sides im having difficulty keeping it up. my triple-gauge A-pillar i mean :p it came supplied with velcro which did the job for a while but rainwater from my leaky targa pulled the sticky velcro away from the frame. there's a screw-hole near the top of the plastic pillar, and a rectangular hole in the same place in the metal frame behind. would a grub-screw do this job (i asked around for these and apparently they're difficult to get hold of :confused: ) at the moment all thats keeping my a-pillar up is the remaining velcro and the bloody sun visor!!!

Where can i find a drawing of cylinder layout.? Tried search but nothing. Steve.

Hi Everyone, Good to meet everyone who was down Bolney yesterday, what a day.... Some one from the forum said that my exhaust system was a Blitz system, I have attached some pics if anyone can confirm this?

Whats the maximum offset you can have? is 46 rear and 42 front unfeasible?

Hi I'm new, Right, yesterday I picked up my zed from storage which its been for the last 3 months and drove home, travelled 110 miles then got home without a problem, brakes felt good and sharp. Then after tea I went out to get some fuel from the local shell garage, on the way there the brakes felt rather spoungey, on the way back home the brakes deteriorated to full failure, the pedal travels right to the floor with no stopping power at all! At this I returned to the garage and checked the brake fluid which was below the low mark, so I topped up to max, the brakes pumped up ok so I left, when I went to brake again the brakes completely failed again, they pump up…

guys, it appears my maf is dead (or dieing) but before i commit to buying a new one i was after a conzult / someone willing to let me bolt their maf onto my car to check that it solves the hessitation. Be few beers in it for any help... also anyone got a spare TT maf that works they want to sell assuming mine is dead... car still drives so i can travel to someone fairly local if that helps.... cheers all
