Which settings should I use to check the TPS on this multimeter and which holes should the connectors be in. cheers Paul

Decided at weekend to finally bypass the knock sensor as running on safety mode. Knock sensor appears to have no resistance or harness has broken down. After much time researching wire diagrams, the sensor has one wire from ECU pin 23 and this is the signal wire and the other wire being shielding around it which is ground. Basically a coaxial cable. My problem is that I have tried the 1 m ohmn resistor trick at the Harness ECU side and no luck, still getting code 34. I then decided to take it right back to the ECU to eliminate faulty wire. I have done the following, picked up pin 23 on ECU HARNESS and soldered 1m ohmn resistor then grounded it to engine blo…

Hi guys! I have installed GT525 with 0,54AR in a Zed of my friend, Profect B2, Downpipe, etc... But I can´t make 0,8 bar until 4000rpm...., in my Zed, with stock tubs, I have 0,8 at 2600rpm.. Do you have any dyno or information of the maximun spool?? Thanks!

I was just on the phone to her in doors cas i work away from home for three weeks at a time, when my better half said to me something. See let me explane. two weeks ago tomorow i had my car go over to jeff on the back of a truck half way accross the country to have some work done. when i went to move it i found two of my tyres were knakered so i took of two 18inch my other car as a temp measure just so it could go and have work done. the origanal wheels as well u know are 16 inch. my Sarah says to me tonight . "BABE I was looking out the window tonight and said to myself", I wonder how and what his going to do when he gets home to drive his other zed when he left it with…

Just curious whether there's a procedure to changing the CAS. I would search but the search facility is pants and doesn't let you search for 3 letter things. I've not tried to change it yet and it may well be obvious (markers or something) but I thought I'd ask as I'm wondering if I instal it wrong if it'll cause a problem

Who gets frustated by the fact when under your bonnet and you want to blip the throttle you either have to press down on the inner cable or roll the wheel back with oily mits which slips on the wheel:thumbdown: Solve this pain in the arse problem by getting a dremmel and increasing the size of the inspection hole above cable wheels on the throttle cover and be able to get your finger under the little "tang" on the wheel so you can blip your throttle like nature intended..was going to take pics but i could,nt be arsed:laugh:

Saw this last week on Dominion road, worthing, bayside blue with skirts, G83*** thought its was markie's but couldnt be sure.. Looked very nice in the sunshine...

So I can get my proper re-spray is there anybody local to Ayrshire who can help me remove my engine ? Bacon & Sausage rolls on hand for anyone who can help. Cheers

Hi people, My power steering is very intermittent lately along with my speedo. If I loose my power steering, I also loose my speedo reading. Are these 2 related in any way?? I was guessing the pump is starting to fail, but it seems strange that the speedo reading goes at the same time?? Any ideas? Cheers, Alz. EDIT: After searching, it looks like the speed sensor behind the clocks....... Time to remove and look.

Hi All, Anyone know where I can buy a new seyt of these please. Cheers.

I'm hearing great things about this waterless coolant stuff. Does anyone have it in their Z ? I'm thinking of giving it a go

New Zed and my first "WTF?!" thread already. :lol: The speedo in my new toy doesn't work. It either sits on 0 and doesn't move, or it starts at 180 and doesn't start working (backwards) until you hit 70mph! The trip counter and odometer both work without any issues. The car's a 1991 TT auto import, just in case that makes any difference. Speed sensor? Dodgy wiring? Knackered speedo unit? Help!!!

My question is will Nissan S14 Nismo S-Tune suspension and Tension rods fit the 300zx or are they different?

I collected my Z from Jeff's today after having a few niggles sorted.... The a/c needed regassing and the electric fan was not operating - but Jeff discovered the two faults were related. Basically as the electric fan was not cutting in, the a/c gas overheated and expanded, popping the rear seal on the compressor. Hence the gas all leaked out! So one replacement fan unit and compressor, followed by a re-gas and all is well..... .....Jeff also re-applied the underseal for me, fitted my new oil pressure sender (thanks Yewcheck) and sorted the lazy central locking on the passenger door. Thank you Jeff - you're a star. And thank you Lynda for the tea - it was g…

Hi guys, On my car I've etch primered, and black stonechip underneath. Anyone know about paints will I have to overpaint the stonechip or will primer and stonechip be enough. any help appreciated

took me about 30 minutes. happy to see no major rust/rott and damage repairs. only rust is the residue from the spare wheel.

Will the exhaust from my old manual n/a fit an auto tt?

Hi, My daughter is trying to commute from Blackpool to Belfast with her car. What is option? Many Thanks, Phil

Ive heard bits and bobs about these, but never known too much. However I found a website today that is all about the SMZ read on to enlighten yourself if you don't know what one is. Put it this way its how they should have been from factory period! http://www.smzregistry.com/

just a quick question :) when i press cluch pedal my car revs 200 rpm more ... there are no switches on clutch pedal ... i start the car in neutral and it idles at 800rpm i don`t change gear just press clutch pedal and revs goes to 1000rpm and while driving every time i press the clutch pedal revs goes up.... any idea why ? thanks

Alright guys, I've had the rear struts out this week. I checked through the service manual for the torque settings, the rear ones were around 20nm, that sounds LOW especially seeing as when I did the fronts it was 40 odd. So I checked that to, yeah its around 40nm, now I'm confused. Surely they would be the same its the same bolts at the same size doing the same job would the rears really be half the torque setting? Or have I misread the service manual.

So I'm debating on what to do with the timing belt covers whenever I get the belt sorted. The options I'm thinking of are: - kept the standard black covers - possibly clean up or re-paint black - paint blue to match the other stuff in the engine bay - get one of the top covers that ZCentre sell http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=78&category_id=14&keyword=Timing&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7
