I would check all of the small water hoses located all aver the engine including the heater hoses. I have had several leaks over time but have now replaced all hoses. You can do it with the engine in place but will take hours and hours to complete (not to mention skinned knuckles). Sounds like you have water hitting some part of the exhaust system which causes the hissing. Later on when things cool down, the water, instead of evaporating, leaks out the bottom.

To remove stickers use CRC556 on a rag followed by elbow grease - very safe. Use a bit of window cleaner afterwards to remove the CRC.

Why would you do that ? Free bump

Cheers dude

I have some Brembo EVO7 calipers. Will they be any good ?

What rotors did you use with yours?

Thanks guys

Thanks Rich666 I take it then that the EVO ones need adaptors

Is there any difference between the 350Z Brembos and those from an EVO 7/8 ? :bow:

Disconnect the plug from the air regulator Check for a volatge on the pins as you turn the ignition on Allow a couple of minutes with the ignition off between checking pins A voltage here confirms power to the fuel pump control unit via the fuel pump relay (assuming the wiring is OK) http://300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=diag&dir=&config=&refresh=&slide=1&cycle=off&scale=0&design=default&total=4

No worries and good luck I'll check on any replies when I'm at work tomorrow if I can (you'll be Zzzzzzzz, getting your beauty sleep) by then

Correct

You may be able to do the test yourself by using the above method as you can peek under the bonnet if you arrange the plug correctly.

The threaded part of the plug must sit on a good earth. If you have a piece of wire, strip it back and wrap it around the thread of the plug and connect it to battery -

Im pretty sure that piece is plastic hence no spark You may need to retest this bit to double check or your going in circles

Did he earth the shell of the spark plug to a good ground ?

OK, let me ponder my next move then

Shame your not over here with your car, it's so much easier to work on in person rather than by remote control via a keyboard :)

Have you used your multimeter to check the continuity of cables between the CAS and your ECU

The lack of fuel pump does not explain the lack of spark, besides you mention that you can smell fuel

Any fault codes from the ECU?

The 12 volts rules out any fuse failures, crook balast resistors, relays, etc associated with the coils

Have you tried a spare PTU?

Set the multimeter to read voltage (around a 20 volt range) Connect the black lead to earth somewhere on the motor or battery - Check the meter works by touching the red lead onto the battery + (you should read somewhere around 12 volts) Remove one connector from a coil Turn the ignition on and probe the connector terminals (not the coil, the connector with wires attached) and check for 12 volts again

Check for a voltage at one of the coils
