hi ive just got this car and would just like to no if anybody has seen or worked on this car and can tell me what has been done to the car in the past as i have no idea of what has been done to my car

man thats cool what u did to my pic!!!

 

rite it stalls after being revved like at a roundabout but im going to adjust the idle valve tomoz

 

it also sends plumes of black smoke after boost

 

and also sometimes its like a blue smoke which it oil but that was only once

 

ive orderd a new apexi filter as the other 1 looks really old and also some new plugs and other service stuff

 

i really need a new underhood wiring loom as some of the wires have cracked but id like to no what else is wrong so i can save abit on the p+p when i order the bits hope this helps but if u need any more info just ask

yea used carb cleaner this moring which seemed to make a differance at the time but after taking it for a drive just went back to normal

oh some1 said i might have a boost leak would that cause them problems ?

Very very nice car mate!

no im between kings lynn and norwich i have a diagnostics computer but it only does

obd2 ports where do you plug into so i can see if any of my friends have the correct thing

cheers radron just wished it run better m8

boost leak could be the cause of your stalling problem, are you running boost jets?

 

If so..

the pipe they are in may have come of which stops the actuator to one of the turbos opening at the right time. it will also cause black smoke and a farting noise when you change gear on boost.

a boost leak is more likely to be around your dump valves, probably the original ones are still there or a blanking plug has popped out

 

Hope this helps

the dump valves look quite new it does (fart) sometimes what are boost jets?

 

also if i remove the dump valves clean them up and then put them back on making sure everything is tight would that help?

it wouldnt hurt, it would be best to do a boost leak test. theres got to be someone near you with a leak tester, you'll be surprised with the amount of zeds driving around with boost leaks. have you checked your TPS voltage?

lol i am sure i will get used to all these abbreviations soon what is a tps and where is it

soory should have clicked the link before i asked you thanx for that

throttle position sensor...........

boost jets are small metal restrictors which go inside the small pips to the actuator, they're a caveman method of raising the boost.

 

I use them :)

 

the pipe is located underneath the large inlet pipes to the throttle bodies (the middle two big pipes)

Have a look in the light and see if they are connected, when people install them they tend to have problems squeezing them into the pipes and just connect them back up by a cm, rather than an inch.

cheers for that bud i will have alook tomoz in the day light

Hey mate your doing well three weeks after I bought mine the engine lunched!

ouch bet u where pissed mate

 

i hopeing mine wont be to much to get back to normal!!

Yep was not a happy boy! Getting there now though...

 

Dont worry mate it will be running dandy in no time.

There' got to be someone around that can help this guy out.

He's just bought the car and first thing he did was subscribe to this site.

 

If you can get yourself to Romford I'll have a look over the car for you but I think that may be a bit far for you. Surely there is someone closer that can have a quick lok over for you or run a conzult on it.

maybe he should take it up to martyns place stu? :wack::x:

 

that said hasnt that zed spares fella in thetford got a conzult etc...cant think of his name...used to trade on here

Andy I think his name is.

yes thats him...nice one stu

 

so 300zxtt400bhp....if thetford isnt too far from you try calling andy he knows a lot about zeds...i reckon he's about 20 miles from whittington

cheers guys ive been trying to call him for 30mins and you where close uno its 18 miles away lol

no worries....andy is well worth looking up especially as he is so local to you.... :D

It would also be worth doing an ECU fault code check to see if anything has registered as faulty.This would also point to what may be causing your problems. It will only highlight electrical items that may be failing.
