Bad idle/ running rich
I would say to try and diagnose what is actually at fault before ordering parts willy nilly, Nissan data scan & a cable is relatively in-expensive compared to the price of quality replacement Z parts You said you have a brand new MAF - you must have shelled out a lot of money for a new OEM MAF? The aftermarket pattern ones never work right so if you've put one of those on your better swapping to a used genuine Nissan unit.

Bad idle/ running rich
I would recommend making sure your fuel pressure is 3 bar as it should be, takes 2 mins. buy an 8mm fuel line adapter with gauge for 20 quid from eBay, then add that into the fuel line just after the filter. If OK then remove plenum. Pull the fuel rail out but leave the injectors in place, hook the rail back up to the fuel lines and put the connectors on without the clips, then place some blue roll down somewhere in the engine bay and remove the CAS and turn it by hand, this way you can see the pattern left by each injector, you want all 6 marks to look the same. It will be immediately obvious which injector is causing the issue. If you had an injector stuck open, be sure to change the oil once the injector is fixed The injector plugs often have green corrosion whilst they are unplugged it may be worth cleaning them with a set of diamond tipped tweezers, you can get a set from eBay for £15 . laser tools part no 6546

Underseal Recommendations
Dinitrol 4941 for the under body, ML cavity wax for inside the car and in box sections Get the stuff that's applied with a schultz gun + compressor rather than the spray on cans, the aerosols are rubbish As Joely mentioned good prep is key

1993 TT LWB in Black
I wouldn't make a habit of posting pictures of your key online I would be able to copy it & use it on your car with very little effort, of course I wouldn't want to do that.. but someone with bad intentions might

Single piece prop shaft. Upgrade?
I use a steel 1 piece with no NVH issues. Its the aluminium ones that sometimes make noise, clocking it sometimes helps though.. Copied this text below from czp "Note: ALL aluminum driveshafts will exhibit a metallic resonating noise that the original 2pc steel driveshaft naturally dampens. This is normal and will not affect performance, but if you are concerned about cabin noise, you may prefer a Steel Driveshaft, which still provides significant weight savings over the OEM driveshaft, but is going to run quieter than aluminum. Inland Empire now also offers a foam filling option for aluminum driveshafts, which significantly reduces noise and resonance without adding any noticeable weight. This is the best weight to enjoy buttery smooth operation while still getting the weight savings of an aluminum driveshaft. £250 plus postage for an aluminium lwb tt shaft

Single piece prop shaft. Upgrade?
I have a few i would part with, What spec do you require? NA/TT - LWB/SWB - Auto/Manual? Theres no real upgrade to changing to a 1 piece other than the fact you won't ever need to change the bearing again. The two piece units are usually quieter. I sell new propshaft bearings for £75 posted if you need one

Air con pod dead
I have fixed this problem many times It is without a doubt the blue relay on the back of your footwell fuse box, unplug everything remove the fuse box and replace all 3 just to be safe since they are cheap and its not a fun job to do twice 👍

Can provide receipts from czp that are only a week old.- JaiKai - MK2 - Ziggy Build
It seems you may need some new turbos? I have 2 sets of brand new Garret CHRAs for sale from czp as i bought them and got my hands on some other turbos for cheap, so don't need these 999 on ebay for a set or 900 in cash/ bank transfer. They're 1200 usd plus shipping & import duty usually.- What did you do to your zed today?
Scott Taylor one of the owners/tuners at Zshack in USA (extremely knowledgeable and respected shop) told me he has had 30+ zeds on the dyno with rebuilt turbos and hasn't seen one that didn't smoke even a little bit ever. I too have seen 3 sets of rebuilt turbos fail on my cars over the years & only had success with 1 lot of rebuilt turbos, but sold the car after a few thousand miles on them. New cartridges are the way forward without a doubt. Saying that i know two people driving around with no issues on rebuilt turbos..but they have only been done in the last few months so it remains to be seen how long they last.- JaiKai - MK2 - Ziggy Build
You certainly don't have much luck do you?! Persistence is all it takes. Keep at it you'll get there in the end!- First look at new Z1 selin/dual maf translator
Not my photo - these Z1 Disco boxes are out for Beta testing on a select few cars and should be available in the next few months. Good news for everyone that wants a selin but doesn't want to spend £1000 on one!- my harmonic balancer bolt keeps backing out
How did you torque the bolt up in the first place? However you did it must not be adequate and the vibrations are causing the bolt to back out I have torqued a Crank pulley on a VG30 hundreds of times and never once had the bolt back out Torque it properly and use some red loctite just to be safe. I use the most recent milwaukee 1/2 high torque impact with one-key that allows you to set the desired torque via an app (most useful for lug nuts) since the impact is super strong & is capable of shearing the bolt head off anything.- ECU choices…
Haltech elite 2000. The 2500 has extra features you dont need. I have haltech and have been very happy with it. Their customer support is amazing Yes its more expensive but for a reason, it is better (in my opinion) Link doesen't have traction control either to my knowledge - it may do but ive seen lots of link ecus and never seen anyone using it Link seems to be the popular choice in the UK probably due to pricing..- FOR-SALE - Uk Spec, Twin Turbo, Manual in Grey metallic, 1994.
Very clean car! Good luck with the sale. 26k..That makes me hopeful! Just stuck one of mine on ebay for 99p no reserve 😆 - JaiKai - MK2 - Ziggy Build
