does engine management light need to be on before codes come up?
Are you asking if you have a fault does the warning light come on??.

quest for 500bhp
5k will cover an engine rebuild to better than standard spec easy without cutting any corners.it all depends how far you want to go.youll want decent forged pistons for peace of mind which can be bought for less than a set of nissan oversize ones.The rest of the performance parts is where your 5k vanishes very quickly.injectors,tubs,down pipes etc.

n/a gear box & TT gear box ???????
by casing i mean the wall thickness of the gear box casting surrounding the gear train.thats why the tt box is heavier.

quest for 500bhp
Hi Mate,if it is piston/ring or land failure its rebuild time buddy :smash: .the perfect time to tell the missus oh well its gone bang now so i may as well get started. :D

quest for 500bhp
worse case is your crank case is pressurising caused by piston,ring/land failure.your oil loss was probaly out of the dipstick tube.or you may have just not put the dipstick back in properly.on the n/s exhaust camshaft rocker at the rear is a breather elbow which can blow out under boost and spray oil over the battery.a stuck pcv valve can also cause oil to blow out the dipstick.fingers crossed its the latter.

I regularly service your missus "washing machine" if thats what you want to call it. ;)

n/a gear box & TT gear box ???????
No Daves right the box ratios are the same but the speed sensor is different.The only physical difference is the TT casing is thicker to handle more torque.

o2 sensor problem.
Cheers for that.have you got a pic showing the wiring back to the ecu?.I spent hours last night sifting through the aus forum,printed off the diagram only to find the a4 sheets of paper didnt pair up.

o2 sensor problem.
Am i right in saying that the middle wire is a shielding wire and has no connection to the ecu.The wires back to the ecu on my car have continuity but i reckon it may have a short causing the problem.

Anyone??.

o2 sensor problem.
Is anybody here able to give me the ecu pin numbers for the black wires that run to the o2 sensors.i believe 29 and 55 are the red and black wire nos for left and right hand.My cars not reading the r/h sensor at all.the sensors fine as its new.im gonna need a loom eventually but if i can get round it for now by running some new wires in that would be great as the baffles are dropping in the exhaust and id rather put the money towards that, then do the dreaded loom change later.

elecky techy advice please
just a thought but if your ignition timing is too far advanced the car will start very rapidly when cranked.worth checking.

500hp kit from Z1
My only internal mods are forged pistons and ive mildly ported and polished the lower inlet tracts.The stock crank and rods will handle the upgrade but the rest of the engine has to be in good condition to handle more power,so id advise that the engine was reconditioned first.Z1 state that with camshafts and exhaust manifolds it is possible.Z1 sell the jwt cams on an exchange basis.Be warned that if you really want 450rwhp youre going to need traction control.mines a handful with 360rwhp.in the wet the car will be virtually undriveable.Its not all about hp though as the torque is very important.Smithys car makes a whopping 475lbft making the acceleration unbelievable i should imagine.

500hp kit from Z1
Ive got the gt525s and reckon my tubs are nearly maxed out at the 440fwhp im making.should be seeing John Dixon any day now for a few tweaks to see if any more is available.Can let you know if you like what the tubs are capable of.Smithy is right in what he says that 5 bolt exit turbos will produce more power and torque.

Quick Question Re: snapped timing belt
As a V6 is two three cylinder engines in effect the camshafts can settle off lobe quite easily avoiding any valve damage.So its worth trying a new cambelt on the engine as you may have got lucky :) .
