Bit of update
so while on the dyno we discovered a few drops of oil under the car. A bit of investigation reveals the most likely culprit is a cam seal…. Annoying! So at some point I’ll have to pull the front of the engine off and install a new seal.
I’ve also been speaking to Brett at BDE and will be purchasing his now PS pulley for ATi crank pulley, which will resolve the issue of it spitting off its PS belt.
I’ve also been going through the datalogs of some of the drives I’ve had to identify the cause of the imbalance of fuelling between banks. While I’m not sure it’s totally the cause, I have found that the alternator is not keeping up with demand. While the pic shows voltage drop during a pull down to 13.06v, wider analysis identifies a direct correlation between the fuelling of the engine and the electrical systems being above or below 13.5v. So I’m going to have my alternator inspected, and if it’s performing as expected I’ll either look at having it uprated to 120amp (to offset the 24amp draw of the 525lph pump) or if that’s not possible I’ll look to upgrade to a 200amp unit from WPS or WOSP.

All,
It pains me to place this post, but needs must.
I am seriously considering selling my ZX due to marital issues.
It's a White UK MANUAL TT 95k on the clock
Almost full Nissan main dealer history.
I have bills for £1500.
Bodywork in good condition.
All the usaul extras leather, climate etc.
Looking for £6.5k ish as looked after UK maunuals are hard to find, I should know it took me ages to find this one.
NEVER had any engine/turbo problems just spent £1000 on the MOT having brake pipes and rear track rods replaced.
Its going to gut me to lose this car, but lifes a bitch ...
I live and work in West Sussex.
If you want to talk more my email address is glenn.summers@paularosa.com
