Hi all, As some of you already know I bought my car with an overfuelling problem. Since I bought it, it has been sitting for 3 months at my girlfriends parents place awaiting me to start on it, all I have done before today is filled with fresh oil and replaced the spark plugs with some more NGK's and fired it up, it sounded fine all the way up to temp with a heavily smoking exhaust and revved freely. The only sound that caused concern was the turbine rattling in the housing that Jeff identified when he looked at it for the previous owner. Today I chucked 10 litres of fuel in it and fired it up. It chugged away with smoke puffing out the exhaust, the more gas the…

The old speedometre in my car was broke so i got a second hand one and fitted it yesterday. However, it still doesn't work so obviously the problem wasn't the instument panel. I'm thinking it must be a cable or maybe a sensor but not too sure where to start. The rev counter works as does the temp gauge but i cant tell how fast im going which isn't good. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

does anyone by any chance know the part numbers for the two identical springs that return the throttle back to idle? please

Anyone got some fitted? Any links? I'n on about the cheaper ones, as I think 250-300 quid new for a pair of branded ones is a rip off. What size pipe are the OEM recircs? Cheers, Tudor...

Ok not to be taken lightly a new corrosion trend has appeared over the last 12 months or so, as we see so many zeds we are in a position to see such trends whether it be tension rod bushes, hicas arms sill corrosion etc., we now have seen in quick succession several zeds with the exact same floor corrosion effecting the drivers and to a small extend the passenger seat floor anchor plate all of these needed welding and quickly to remain safe. The rear fixing on the drivers side closest to the door seems to be the favourite one, Nissan added an extra plate from below to form the seat fixing, this plate has sealant between the main floor and the plate itself. The troub…

i'm not moaning. but i'm quite suprised that after hunting and posting that no one seems to know what to do with the solenoids on the z 32. surely someone knows. so many in the club have rebuilt their cars. therefor this made me assume i may get help or advice. i will add that i'm useless with computers but have tried various tech pages to no avail. after subscribing to the club i have found its a great community with much more than a handfull of good folk. back on subject though. i need z einstien folk are there any?:smartass:

there's three solenoids under the bonnet. one near the battery and two together on the opposite side. is the one near the battery an aiv solenoid? also one on opposite side aiv too. and the remaining solenoid is egr ? can all of these be unplugged once hoses have been sorted? looked through robos tech its not specific enough for me on this subject. please help
