Dogpole, Shrewsbury (Creative Audio)?

After reading the flash code from my ECU, it stated code 34, which is Det sensor, i then tested the O2 sensors using the ECU, the right one was fine, but the left one was reading lean (with ocasional blips to rich if the revs were blipped). my logic tells me that, if the left o2 sensor is saying lean (due to it being f**ked) then the ECU would put more fuel into the left bank, (hence my majorly over fueling) which would then possibly cause pre ignition (detenation) which would then come up with fault code 34. Does this sound possible? has anyone have any sources for any o2 sensors, its a manual twin turbo import. my local nissan place told me £117 + VAT, and the…

Decided to have a look at the rust on my rear drivers side arch and when cleaned up the area around the spots of rust i decided to see how far the filler from a previous repair had gone - it looks like the whole panel has had a light layer of filler with some thicker bits where it has perhaps been dented causing the rust in the first place. What would you do if you had discovered this (see pics) on your zed? Whats the recommended repair procedure? The car will be resprayed within the next few months anyway. Its got me wondering where else there's filler on the car! Look forward to your opinions. Cheers, James

hi all just fitted new hi flow rad on the zed, now heres my question the original clip (on left of rad) that the bottom hose clips into does not fit the bigger core rad so as i'm using silicone hoses not a hard pipe kit i'm left with the bottom hose blowing in the wind what is the best way to secure it?

banana/lemon zed metrocentre i spotted this at 6.30pm yesterday at the metrocentre who's was it ?

Excuse me if this is in the wrong place, can't actually find a place to meet ups tho. I've come from the MR2 OC where they have monthly meets, regular drives out etc - is that the done thing here or is it less formal? Would love to meet up, see some other Zs.... Jane

May be of interest to someone - scab-flug 330kph cluster :sweatdrop: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300-ZX-TWIN-TURBO-320-KPH-CLOCKS-/280534310567?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item415125dea7 Highly recommended seller too, I bought something off him a while back and made an offer £50 cheaper, and it got accepted. just thought I'd say lol :shifty:

Just seen this on pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1835817.htm Just wondering; would you buy it for that price or if you could afford it ? Smashing looking Z, if i was him I would have some more pics of interior and the engine, if its looks at neat on the outside, wonder how the inside is !

Just had the MOT, a crowd of people surrounded the car asking what was it. Young apprentice kids hay lol. MOT tester could not believe the condition and had to ask me twice on how old it was. Any way passed with flying colours................I knew it would but i still get worried every time i go for one. Tax next, roll on. Happy days, shame its raining when i drove it there, spent four hours cleaning it the other day.:cursing:

I used to detest mudflaps of all sorts, but I found some lurking at the back of the garage, so thought I'd put them up against my Z... and really raher like them! I know some people hate them, but what do you think on a white car? clash too much? or look smart? white and black seems to be the theme that is going on with my car, so feedback would be appreciated, thanks! :w00t:

Looks like "JAPANESE PERFORMANCE CAR" want to do a 5 or 6 page spread on my Zed plus a good write up.They are going to travel to Nottingham for the shoot.Replied to their email so just waiting for info where and when.Hope the Grim Reaper dont get me first LOL.

Hi, im not trying to get info on breaking into a zed i assure you, but im a bit paranoid that its going to get broken into or nicked for a joy ride or something. Are they secure atall? Do they have an immobiliser? What is the nissan anti theft system? On previous cars ive had a detachable steering wheel, but this has got the functions on it i dont want to lose. Mark

Hi there all, have a 1995 TT 2+2 300zx, sitting at home, the starter motor relay behind front wheel arch has been replaced because car would not start (no crank or anything) however did not make a difference. Hooked up between pos and neg terminals of relay plug so that it starts, however because the old alternator was overcharging massively (replaced now and charging fine) there are a few problems. Have no power steering, auto box has entered a limp home mode perhaps (when moving off in drive from a standstill, attempts to drive off in 3rd gear). If auto box is put into 1st, then 2nd, then drive when you move off car still has full power. Additionally HICAS light is on o…

Hi, me again!! o/ Jeff says I need to replace my HICAS ball joints as there's quite a bit of play in the rear wheels. Are the Skyline ones the same and/or are the ones off eBay ok to use? Once I change them, will I need to have the alignment done? Thanks again!! ;)

Hi as the yellow plastic bit that joins the door lock barrel to the locking rod is always breaking has anyone ever found a raplacement from any other nissan model that could be picked up at a breakers ?? thks Kurt

Does anybody know the difference between Nissan Motorsports Japan (NISMO)and Nissan Motorsports USA (apart from the obvious geographical difference) From what I can gather Nissan Motorsports USA was the old Nissan Competition Department which is not part of Nismo (Nissan Motorsports Japan). Are they just seperate departments of Nissan???

alright chaps . can anyone tell me if this part number is for the seies 1 or series 2 ptu the numbers on it are as follows 22020 97e00 D156-02 3y29 also i dont fancy hard wiring it if it is a series 2 , would prefer the plug and play loom . has anyone got one or know the best place to pick one up from . cheers guys

As above! Bought the car with them fitted, theres an adjuster on the top of the shock, other than that I no nothing about them! Anyone run them? Know anything about them? etc? Matt.

Hi guys, mines missing the passenger part. The guy i bought the car off said he can get it of the guy he bought the car off but he hasnt got back to me yet. Im just wondering if they are readily available and cheap or not? He said he took it out to let the heat under the bonnet escape, but i prefer it to have all the trim it was made with :D Thanks Mark

Hi, Quiack question, blue smoke on start up and over run, what can cause this turbo seals maybe? And is it a engine out job to get the turbos off? cheers Mark

I spent bundles of time and money completely rebuilding my Zed, every nut and bolt has been canged and it has had all the best parts that money can buy. I really wanted to get it to the stage where I could take it to JAE, and I think it is probably not going to happen :thumbdown:. It is now at the stage where it is running, it has about a months MOT left on it and I put six months Tax on it. Thing is I have a few issues with it that really need sorting out before I can do anything with it. Firstly it is running hot, im hoping its a blocked Rad or the viscose fan clutch. I bought a new fan clutch from the US and its the wrong one :angry:. I have just recieved a …
