This is what I recorded yesterday using ECUtalk. I edited the video down to 4:15, just from the time I got on the interstate and exited again. Apologies for all the clicking picked up by the microphone, the only thing I can think is it was rubbing on the leather seat? I think everything looks normal. Car did not go into safety boost, which is what I was hoping I would get so I could record what the engine was doing when it occurs. My theory of a faulty MAF seems to be disproved by this recording, at 6,000 rpm with 3.26 volts on the throttle (and about 10.5 psi boost) the MAF was at 4.16 v (this is at approx. 110 mph, in 3rd gear- automatic transmission).…

Bought these years ago, can anyone confirm that they are for a Z32 and not a z31 please?

Can anyone tell me which way the fuel flows through the FRP? Is the nozzle pointing to the left the return to the tank?

I have a few problems had to keep my car parked at work for a week due to having no brakes. Basically what happened is when i bought the car the brakes were hardly there drove home at 60mph took me a while as it was 300mile trip one way :) i was advised when i bought the car that it needs new brake discs which i was supplied by the seller, it obviously needed new pads. when i took it apart i realised that inner brake pad had still half of it there so tried to push the pistons. no chance. So ordered reconditioned 30mm aluminium brake calipers from brakeparts.co.uk but the brake pad pins does not fit they are too short which surprised me as the ones on the car was…

Hi everyone, The warning lights on my Z31 stay on all the time. And at idle they brighten up as I rev the engine. Can anyone help with this problem please. Regards 300silver

Was having a look round a new owners car the other night and the exhaust seemed to be blowing on the passenger side. Anyway, he said its been misfiring etc. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I think the injector is back in cylinder number 2 (passenger side). Pulling the coil pack plug on the cylinder and there was no drop in revs. Timing etc was perfect. I tried it with a screwdriver on the back of the injector and couldn't feel the pulse. Pulled the spark plug and the guy said it was getting spark in the side of the plenum. But a SMALL puff of white smoke came out of the cylinder (I didn't see it). S I'm gonna mind my multimeter to test the injector, but I…

Hi How can I make my clock on the centre cosole brighter? Si's looks 5x brighter than mine!

So I purchased one of those Consult USP boxes on Ebay with "Nissan-14" on it, downloaded VCP drivers for it from FTDIchip.com. All seemed to work on my Windows 7 laptop, and when plugged in to the 300zx TT. Connected ok (COM 9) and went through all the steps of choosing gauges to display. Everything seemed fine- except for one anomaly. It would not show the speed. I tried both imperial and metric (mph and km/h). My speedometer is working perfectly. Once I started driving with the laptop plugged in, about a mile from my home the power steering suddenly stopped working, and within a minute the HICAS light came on. I pulled codes, it said I had a code 14- vehicle s…

Hey guys. Right... what with being a nissan nut for years I have sat in my shed: 1 S14 diff (I believe lsd) 1 R32 gtst diff (lsd) 1 s13 diff (open but welded) 1 s13 diff (??) ratios vary and seem to not be what the internet says. I wanted to use my S13 (open but welded) diff on my Z32 and went to fit it before my last drift day. The crown wheel assembly dropped in no problem and engaged with the input gear but the shaft flanges (so I could use the Z32 shafts) did not fit... no matter what i did. It looks like they are physically a different size. Now these are all R200 diffs, and I know people swap and change between S/R body …

Hi everyone, I have a twin turbo, manual, 1993 300zx. Unfortunately my gear box (manual) is just broke. I was driving one day and suddenly the gear stick just dropped, it would not go in to any gear :( it was totally un-driveable. Would not go in to any gear at all, even reverse. Blocked one lane off (rush hour) for 45 mins untill the recovery truck came and took it to my mechanics. Please see the attached photos for reference. It seems the gear linkage has just snapped off. Some people say it is a common problem, but i cant find a replacement anywhere? This is the part that is broken, its connected to the gear linkage, but its totally snapped off.…
