Changed the maf and ptu today and the problem has almost completly gone! Had a couple of small splutters in high boost but nothing major, yesterday would not go above 4k rpm on high boost 90% of the time. I still think it is the maf (see the name of this thread)! I'm going to change the ptu back to mine for the run home and then it will confirm the maf was at fault. My next question is as my maf is faulty and heading for the bin can it be disassembled and cleaned/rebuilt?

Yeah it was well hot yesterday, red forehead! Did you push your car through the que or have it running?

Hey Zulley I have the same problem (misfire over 4k rpm). Later on I am going to borrow a set of coil packs, ptu, maf and possibly a cas from a club member. If you want to come over at some point this week or at the weekend and swap test some bits thats fine by me.

mmm i have the same ones, will have to check and make sure they are all there! I also have a set of Nissan ones if you want them zulley? There are the same as the z ones, just say nissan instead. Will bring them to mfn next week if you want.

Yeah you got a good first run, the others were 14s. The only z i saw running on sunday, made my day anyway!

Mine were badly worn, had the tracking done and it feels much better since, might recheck them again tho!

Was running at usc today, pulled a 13.6 if i remember correctly.

I checked the codes again after leaving the batt off overnight and no errors! getting 55 now. I think i was getting 13 due to messing with the sender before, 34 was solved by resoldering the wires on the connector. Been to usc today, got stuck in traffic on the way back and it never went over 80c on my guage or on the readout from the greddy informeter connected to the ecu, that now reports 0 errors as well. It is still misfiring tho, still only about 4k rpm, does it more at the higher boost. Somtimes will go all the way through the range, but mostly misfires. An ideas? Next week im going to swap my ptu, maf and maybe clean my fuel filter out. Ed

oh yes i have cleaned and dried my maf out. Just want to know if my car is actually detting and if i should be panicing or not! Ed

Right then! I have put my stat and rad back in, bypassed the heater and no more leak! holding 80c even in traffic and there is still water in the top of the rad after its cooled YEY! However! It is still misfiring above 4k rpm. Its still intermittant and making full boost. sometimes its a definate misfire and sometimes just no power at all. Moving a bad coil pack connector seemed to make a difference so i have just changed the pack and connector. Not tested it yet but i also did a diag test on the ecu. I am getting errors 13 and 34. I dont understand why im getting 13? Both my stock and aftermarket temp gauges work fine. According to my Greddy informeter the sender to the ecu works fine as well, gives almost the same reading as my other gauges on the 2nd sender. So why am i getting code 13? Also code 34 - shit! I checked the connector that goes to the det sensor and one of the wires had actually broken. I removed the connector and soldered the wires. Diaged the ecu again and got the same codes! Does the ecu need resettng to clear the codes? What does det sound/feel like when it happens? Are my pistons going to melt if i keep testing the car? At the moment it just feels like a misfire, can be a strong jerk if it just misses once through the range, doesnt backfire or sound different. I have removed the + batt connection to reset the ecu, leaving it overnight. Hopefully this will clear the errors (wishful thinking!) Does this sound like det? Wasnt that hot today and im running optimax, same at 8 and 12psi boost.

here is the ebay link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&item=320011053271&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 Its wicked! Slight panic as the screen died when i first plugged it in. Thought it was broke but then relised my batt was only giving 10 volts! The tps readout is cool, i set it as a bar so it looks like night rider!

I just changed my stat, did a heater bypass and it was a right mission! Getting the rad back in and putting the fan on is the worsed part. But hey i drove it 15miles afterwards, let it cool and took my rad cap off. And I see water in the top - not lost any YEY!

lol im gonna have to put a Z badge on my bonnet now

no he owns a small precision metal enginnering company down south. its not real gold you know! (although they do gold/silver and gem work as well) They make tv and film props, stuff for the royal family like gifts etc, medals and trofies, they also have a contract with mclaren for F1 cars bits and stuff for their road cars. You know the match of the day sign they have on the desk on match of the day? - makes them too.

yeah the medalion in the sequal

You know the big gold medalion that one of them wears? My uncle made that!

yeah they are rubbish, mine is the same, works for about 5min, get an aftermarket one

here is what it can monitor http://www.takakaira.co.jp/performance/trust/electriccontrolparts/trust_infometer.mht

It came today. The Z32 is listed as compatible, and comes with the correct plug, it doesnt need external power either! I'll plug it in later and take some pics!

I'd call it a 90s supercar, not in the same league as todays supercars but it was back then. It was japans offering to the entry level supercar market along with the nsx, rx7 and gto etc. There is now a new car catagory according to top gear - the hypercar, includes the zondas, lambos, and that swedish thing, you cant compare them to a 911 gt3 but the gt3 is still a supercar right? What was the fastest car in Gran turismo 1? The tt gto!

My bent spoiler? Its meant to be like that, different

Here are mine. I masked off the reflectors to make it legal.

dot 4 works well too

use your key mate, then they will think twice, and they cant do you for damage as they were obstructing a public right of way!

Yes it is Illegal to park on the pavment
