Mondeo diesel wont start
If it turns over slow and all the engines earths are good and the battery is a good un,its the starter .The 1.8 engines can suffer with lazy starters.Diesels which have indirect injection need to turn over at a good speed to create heat which they rely on to start.To check for a bad earth run a jump lead from the battery negative to the engines lifting eye,if it flies over youve sussed it.Check your earths and the main connection at your starter.

backfiring
o2 sensors wouldnt cause the problem your having.it will be something else.Carry out the checks Jeff mentioned first,You could unplug both o2 sensors and it would not make it backfire.

disconecting the wastegate pipe
As the pressure climbs though it can overcome the spring in the actuator and blow the gate off its seat releasing the pressure.

FAO Jimmer
Hi Bud,to answer your question mate imho id stick with the vg30.The conversion costs could be put towards bomb proofing it.The rb suffers from pretty much the same probs as the vg anyway.The only downside about the vg30 is the cost of fitting two tubs.Thats why people fit rb,s as you have lots of room to whack a huge single tub on there.The downside of rb tuning is that high spec parts are not abundant in the US like vg parts so the cost will be higher.

You dont think maybe the fact it prolly wasnt done right in the first place may have had some bearing on that :rolleyes:

Bit off topic here but i was told that help the heroes doesnt really help anyone but the people creaming money off out of it.Apparently only about 7p out of a pound is left after admin,making the wristbands etc is payed for.Can anyone confirm this?

Turbo options
The gt28rs is a great choice and suited to the 300zx.The gt535s or jwt530 bb is also a very good turbo with very aggressive low down spooling and more than capable of 500hp.

adrenaline rush!
As soon as she even hints bud about driving yer motor get it down and we can get it fitted. If you like we could disconnect the booster circuit to make the clutch real heavy also :D

Idle adjustment help
Firstly if you know someone with a consult see what the AAC valve value is at idle with the engine warmed up.it should be no more than 25% iirc.If it is it will be compensating for some other issue like an air leak.The car may not be reading the g/box neutral switch also which will make it rev high.

Help me PLEASE (baby seat)
Hi Mate,had the same probs myself .I found a Britax seat that fitted well in my zed.You will find though when the child gets around 18-24 months you wont be able to put the seat in front of them back very far as the childs legs dangle over the edge of the seat.Take the zed with you and try out a couple.Any good shop will be willing to let you do this.
-
oooo looky what im having fitted :D
The tubs are gt25r,s and are exactly the same as jwt 530,s without the adaptor flanges.Bit of fabrication and setting up to do on the actuators and youve saved a lot of wonga.

EGR Bracket Removal Makes Knock Sensor Access Possible...
This mod would be great if it was called for.The knock sensor or loom is hardly a consumable item and if youve removed the lower inlet,cut the egr bracket off then replaced the sensor and wiring whats the chances of it needing doing again unless you didnt do it right in the first place?

last question, fitting de-cats
The cat sensors register un burnt fuel in the exhaust and bring on the warning light before the cats are goosed.
