Hi!

 

Finally got my first zed, a uk 1990 manual, lots of miles on it (127k) but really immaculate. Just trying to identify some of the bits on it as it had been carried out prior to the previous owner.

 

It's got an HKS exhaust and powerflow induction kit, (easy to spot that one!), but is a Calsonic oil cooler standard? It's about 14" x 10" in size. Also, the intercoolers, is it possible to tell wether they are standard or HKS just from looking at the core through the front intake? Are they a sod to get to in order to look at the end tanks?

 

It's supposed to have a 14psi conversion from TDI, but without a calibrated boost gauge on it I can't be sure.

 

Oh yes, and when it's hot the idle becomes a bit lumpy, hunting quite a lot, between 400rpm and 900rpm. I already checked the ECu (code55) and the O2 sensors, all fine. Any ideas on that one?

 

Cheers, happy to finally have joined the club!

Welcome Fying Machine,

Congrats on your new Z,you'll love it.

It wouldnt be a proper Z if it didn't have a few nigley things wrong with it,but you're on the right site,loads of helpfull peeps on here!

Cheers,

F.T.:D

Yeah Tony, too right. I already love it. I've been driving it around with the windows open just to listen to the sound of it when it's on boost! (sad I know...) I was trying to get a mate to buy one too, he phoned the other day and said he'd bought a BMW 318i. 105Bhp. I said I had 100Bhp I didn't need if he wanted to borrow it! He said "Then I'll have more than you if you lost 100bhp and I gained it..." Then I told him to do the maths!

Hello Derek,

 

What part of London are you from?

Calsonic are standard Japanese/Nissan parts. I'll read the rest of you message when I feel more sober. (hic)
