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:

ive got spanner fingers, so even when covered in oil ( which is most of the time !) i can still rev it no problem :D

LOL - TBH Bri, I cannot remember what I do.....

 

.....but I think I slip my little finger under one of the throttle cables and pull it up....:wink:

use your finger plus connected to conzult and do the same:tt2:

Take out the number 2 and 5 spark plug, fill it up with sand, small stones and a pinch of salt, dollop in a teaspoon of elmlea double cream, put the plugs back in etc, then fire it up. Problem solved!

My mechanic never complains..........................

Joel I have just followed your advice, I know your an aircraft engineer so take your advice as gospel, the z started to run a bit lumpy and started to throw rock cakes out the back! Is this normal or should I just wind the boost up a bit more to 24psi!

Debating whether i should change the title of this thread to "Need to get you bitches off my tits"now!!!:laugh:

Ah yes this is a common problem. The lumpyness is a build up of deposits across your compressor section which will also lower efficiency. We carry out periodic water washes through the engine so I suggest you do the same:

 

Find a lake, river or ocean with a ramp jetty and drive your zed in so the air filter is submerged, start your engine to begin the wash process. It will also help to remove the oil filler cap and carry out a water wash in there, fill it up to the top as your hold your N1 @ 96%. You'll need to remove the limiter for this in order to maintain the 86,000rpm threshold.

 

I normally charge by the hour for this service but this session is on the house. (When I say 'the house', I'm referring to the 300zx.co.uk house. I will send the bill to the 'supporting Motorsport' department.)
