Have quite a lot that needs doing to my Z which is sadly off the road again (fortunately only because of no tax this time), and would like to find somewhere local to me - York. I've had some work done at the Nissan garage in Malton, and while they were very nice people, they won't do things non-nissan to the car and charge quite a bit. I've no longer got a driveway or garage and so can't do the larger jobs myself :( Searched around quite a bit and not found anything other than the Nissan authorised place in Malton, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated :)

A mates just bought one of these cars and ive fallen in love with them and i must have one but as i know absolutly ZERO about them i was wondering if you fellas could help me get up to speed :) i'll be looking for a U.K spec because of insurance and iam not to bothered about the gearbox type as i expect both types to be rare in U.K spec :cry: so what to pay and to look out for? just one last thing what year did production start and finish ;) Many thx guys :bow:

It seems that I am getting detonation around idle on my car. It is around 1000rpm, below that and above that there is none, but on that particular RPM there is, what sounds like, detting. Sounds like there are stones rattling around the plenum. As many people know that I have just finished a rebuild, although the basic timing is correct the actual timing will be out. The idle is also very low and unstable. Can bad timing cause the detting at idle? I presume it can. The battery is also very very low and hardly manages to start the car. The battery is also not holding the charge, probably for 2 reasons; it is an old battery and it is has been off charge for 7-8 …

I keep seeing this Silver Z in Norwich Own up who is it. There is also a red one who i have now met and another bright red one occasionally parked in the knocked down multi story.

OK, so now it looks like my power loss is attributed to the fact one or both of my "cat's" have collapsed. My turbo's are OK, my intercoolers have been replaced and re-tested and I have ZERO boost leaks. :( I have a SCORPION stainless steel exhast, so does anyone know where I can get replacement pipes or second hand "cats"?? Does the whole system have to be dropped to put these on? Cheers Guys

Over the Weekend i was proper booting the motor down the dual carrage way and i mean proper you get the idea, and doing it for about 10 mile right anyway when i exited it and was driving normally everytime i put my foot down i got a big puff of smoke come out and i mean big. Obvisly this would be somthing to worry about but i let it cool down topped my water up which i had checked in the morning and was fine and has been since. Keep in mind it was a very hot day and was doing a fair bit.

Nice looking Zed mate - I was in the dark blue SWB going towards Ripon. Had just enjoyed a blast with the Targa panels off and was heading back into the city for an ice-cream in the Market Square.

Having problems with my car. When driving after engine warmed up and very little throttle and only at :confused: approx 2000rpm get what i think is a bad misfire which causes the car to judder. When checking ecu get a code 34 (Det sensor) only. I have then reset the ecu and left car to idle recheck the ecu and get code 55. Take the car for a drive and as soon as the car misfires recheck the ecu and code 34. Is it possible for the det sensor to cause this type of misfire (judder) when failing or is it more like ptu failing (series 1 ptu) . I have been through all the connectors and have replaced the injector harness ( which made the engine run smoother ) but are a bit st…

Just got back from the coast. on way i floored accelerator to overtake two cars, on full boost(stock gauge) but when releasing accelerator on over-run saw cloud of white smoke in mirror :cry: went for another overtake and same happened again, only did it on full throttle. :cry: :cry: stopped in pub car park and opened bonnet to find that the dipstick had popped out a little and hot oil was spitting out!! after drowning sorrows in pub drove home (bout 30miles) but this time no matter how hard i gunned it no smoke. however i think i'm getting really paranoid cos when i slowed near home i could smell a clutch burning smell and the auto box seemed noisier than normal …
