As follows:- 1: 182psi 3: 162psi 5: 176psi 2: 178psi 4: 155psi 6:158psi Did a wet test on 3 of the lower ones (had no blimmin oil left in me bottle to do others!) : 3:approx 200psi, 4: approx 182psi, 6: approx 172psi. I also feel that 5 was probably a wet test as when i took the spark plug out there was a little puddle of oil in there?! Diagnosis? Are we talking teaching the evil bugger a lesson with a baseball bat or lightly rubbing it better? I might try it again tomorrow see if i get the same results but the low ones i did repeat a couple of times anyway to make sure. Cheers Rob

Hi guys, i have searched the archives and not found anything so i am asking for a bit of help 1. At speeds above 10-20mph the rear of the car is really noisey like the sound from something without any oil in it. I had check and top up all of the (things?) where oil can go under the rear of the car but its the same. What can it be. In addition to this, the car has started to make a knocking noise when i boot it hard in first gear and this noise seems to be coming fromt he back of the car. 2. The area around the Gear stick is really noisey aswell when the car is in neutral with the clutch up (not pressed down). But when i press the clutch down the noise is…

Hello. Car was running fine yesterday, nothing remotely wrong, started her this morining and she wouldn't idle properly. revs were going up to 1500 - 2000 rpm then cutting off so the car nearly stalled, then just as the battery light comes on it revs to 1500 - 2000 rpm then cuts off and so on. There is also a lot of fumes coming out of the passenger side exaust and i think there is air escaping somewhere in the engine bay. I'm going to have a fiddle about now but any advice would be fantastic. Thanks.........

hi folks, rooting through e.bay and found these, i REALLY like them and will go well with the luminar gauges I have ordered, BUT will they work on a j-spec zed??

More help please! My Zed has been a pretty good little runner (!) for several years now but she is begining to cough and splutter! I took her in for a Consult test at my local and friendly Nissan dealer, and the tech ran some tests, pulled some faces, and tutted. His verdict? I wouldnt get this place to do fix it, if I were you mate! At least he was honest! My problem: Running awefully rich all the time, when cold wants to stall when pulling up to a stop, and also when cold, cuts out dead when booting it. Some times it will come back to life after a second or two, sometimes its dead for a minute or two! Its definately an electrical cut as its insta…

hello and good evening all should the rear fog illuminate when front fog switch is operated i have a jap spec 91 z if it should then fuses or bulb ? :confused: cully z

Finally put the dash back together today, was testing out all the buttons etc.. Theres a problem with the fog lights. I press the button and sometimes the lights only come on very dim, like so dim when i put the sidelights on it gets brighter ;) Bout half the time they come on normal, the rest they come on dim. Likely to be a problem with the switch or the relay? Anyone else had this problem? CheerZ :)

just recently whenever i go over a bump, and in the zed a 5 pound note feels like a bump, the open door warning light flashes in time to the bump, sounds like a loose connector as it sounds like i can hear a solenoid click, or it could just be another rattle coinciding with the bump were would i find the sensor to check it out. thanks in advance rob
