I've had this problem for quite a long time - it only happens occasionally but somethimes you get in the car, turn the key, ignition comes on..... then turn to start and all the lights on the dash go out. Nothing else happens Now when I have had this problem I tend to go through a sequence of getting out of the car, locking the doors, wait a little bit, unlock and repeat the procedure until eventually it works Now today I got back from the gym and had to park on the opposite side of the road while i moved my van. I didn't lock the car. When i tried to start it It would not (as described in the first paragraph) I went through all the usual proceedure, get…

Need some help, my electric fan is wired through a thermostat to a permanent live. So on a hot day it keeps spinning long after the engines switched off. Not to bad of a thing for engine bay temps but bad news for the odessey battery. Just got a new 1 on so don't want it killing everything I switch off the car. So, what I need, is best place fir an ignition live under the bonnet, and is there a switch I can buy so I can override on really hot days, but not 1 that if I forget to switch, fan won't come on. Know there's been loads of threads on viscous vs electric fans, not interested in any of that. So any advice welcome. Cheers Danny

Does anyone know how the powerband will be affected with an air intake restriction for less hp? Less air, less hp, but how will this show on a dyno graph?

I'd just like to let you all know I actually have my car back on the road again!! I'm sure many of you are familiar with the issues I have had for many months. That's the first time she's been on the road at all since October and the first time she has run properly since the engine swap last May In fact I will go as far as to say it's the first time the car has ever run and handled anything like properly since I bought her in 2011 Lots and lots to say but the main things I guess are Fitted 'Yellow Jacket' coil packs Fitted the GTX2860r turbos :w00t: Fitted 600cc Injectors from PFI in Canada - and they are Red yyayy!! :devil: Fitted the Zeta-R co…

Hi guys I bought my tt manual from a chap I gillingham last October drove it flawless 10 hours back to Aberdeen...emotional drive! The guy I bought it off didn't really know much about it either. There is a lot of modifications on it and I was hoping someone on the forum would know the previous owner apparently used to be on the forums a lot. The car Ecu is chipped and has a yellow sticker over it saying z32.m440 does anyone know what this means or who makes the chip? Cheers Ryan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I want to run it safely around 13psi does anyone know how to set this up. There's settings for gain set gain etc very confusing any help would be a great help regards Ryan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All I know is there's something wrong with the engine. Ive made an offer . If I manage to get it there will be parts available! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I decided it was finally time to change my leaky rocker cover gasket, all was well till i put everything back together and now it running like crap. it bearly revs sounds like its misfireing as well. will take it apart tomorrow and retrace my steps and see where ive gone wrong.

Has anyone on here fitted one? Decided to fit it today but it's fighting all the way, looks like it won't fit with my exhuast or with rear tow eyes in place? Any got any advice before I start cutting?

In brief, I have a Dell laptop with a 15 pin female serial connection socket. My Data Scan cable has a 9 pin female serial connection socket. My question is, how do I adapt the two without affecting the software function? Can I use an adaptor of some sort? If possible, I would prefer to remove the existing 9 pin female socket from the cable and re wire it to a 15 pin male connector. Is this possible? If so, would anyone know the correct pin wiring please?

Stripping the interior out, pretty good nick just needs a clean, drivers bolster has a little fading but still ok.

I have replaced on of my recircs for a blitz bov. I plan to get another when I can drop on one for a good price. What I have found though is it seems to be very quiet. Also, anything less than half boost i can hear the turbo stalling... Which way do I need to wind the spring? Thanks

Does anyone know where I can get replacement seals/gaskets for the balance bar? I have a hissing from the RH side of the end of the balance bar even with the bolts really really tight. The rubber gaskets/seals look old and are probably hard too. If any has any spare ones, or knows the size, shore hardness and spec of them that would be appreciated also. Cheers, Greg

Ive been having a problem with the car being down on power, the last week or so. Every so often, it will go back to normal and pull well for a few minutes and then go back to lacking power. I have also noticed that the enginebehaves oddly when the throttle is 'blipped'. The revs will drop for a split second before going up. Also I've noticed that the boost pressure will only go to 3/4s of what it normally would. Can anyone suggest anything to check, would the TPS cause anything like this? PTU also? Injectors appear to be OK. Video to follow in a few mins

Having spent fortunes getting the car right I am going take out the engine and gearbox to keep as spare for my race car and sell the rest. This is not a for sale thread and I won't be taking offers for any of the parts until I place it in classified section. I will be taking it to Japfest rather than the race car which will be too loud for the track so anyone interested can look at it there and inspect at your leisure. Most of you know the car as Madmax zed and it looks the same pretty much. Various upgrades and proper matching of parts now this is a serious car. Gets more attention than my race car and is a pleasure to drive. Truly I am selling most of my toys to focus o…

Passed again this morning woohoo. Car has been off road for the winter so was good to get back in her! Feels so much quicker to the point of being scared when booting it, and having to take it easy with the throttle. One advisory slight play in rear hicas ball joint. He did state it was very slight and not a great deal of difference to the other side which was solid. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Z32 Dummy Crash Test:

Hi Thanks to all for replies on my windscreen thread, just a quick question regarding same, do the pillar trims form any part of the seal to glass or just cosmetic ? was wondering if anything happens to them or clips will screen still be sealed and car useable without them. Simon

Hi, i've got 3 exhausts, all go up to the cats and are fine, from there to the manifold pipes it gets a bit rusty and holy... what i need to know is whats available (in the UK ) to replace this section. i found this chunk of metal from the USA but was wondering who i go to in the UK (good references) to get something similar. Also do i keep the cats? if they go what is affected?. i know when i had it MOT'd the other day it fell outside the emissions test by 3 months, advice please. Thanks Rich ps what is the sectional bulge where the cats used to be, silencer box? also do TT ones fit NA cars

Hi guys, Most of us POP charger guys have problems with MAF's getting wet or have high humidity issues with rain. I was wondering if this device would work: http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?prod=RC-5139DK Any other pictures or ideas you guys have got as it pisses me off if I have to take the car out in the wet, this is the filter I have, it's a Blitz SUS: I also noticed those side scoops are possibly throwing rain at it from the sides?

Hi all, well I am still trying to get to the bottom of the 91 degree out reading from 2 timing lights...... The car doesn't pull as i would expect from a TT and it stalls in reverse and when rev's drop quick if you have to come off boost and stop quickly..... Might be unrelated but thought I would throw it out there....... Can a timing belt throw out the ignition timing so it reads as 91 degrees out and not hit valves and pistons????? interference engines I have worked on before don't usually like having the belt on wrong and self destruct at less than this I thought?? Option 1 is buy new Nissan OEM belt and just suck it up and strip her this weekend and f…
