groover

I removed mine ages ago as my bumper wouldnt sit properly and had no ill effect.

Here a good one, very long and indepth, ok its from the US, but should give you a good idea http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread.php?t=171319

If you jack up the front of the car and look at the bottom of the dipstick tube, you will see the wire for the oil pressure sender going to the rubber boot/cover. In this pic its the yellow unit behind the engine mount ( circled)

Oil filter is always on the drivers side.

Thats why i said usually lol, the sender in the TT.net thread is next to the oil filter.

And here is a how to replace link http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/tech/oilsensor/oilsensor.html The N/A OPS is on the passenger side of the engine TT next to the oil filter usually

Hi Steve, got his email and sent it to you. Cheers Graham

No didnt cut any wires for the old engine, i just extended the wires for the temp sensors so the wires dont have to run across the front of the cam cover. One thing i wish i had done, was left the new injector loom in place and spent a few hours wiring those in, but to save time for the minute to get it going i took them off and re used the old loom, so may have a brittle connection on one injector. It idles relatively smoothly, but sounds like a beetle when you give it a bit of gas lol

I did the throttle body balance and TPS setting before i put the engine in, but will check again. PTU, MAF and CAS connectors are fine, havent timed it yet, i just raised the base idle as it was quite low. Water temp sensor is a new Nissan one, i have re routed the wires, by cutting, solder and heatshrink, but again its something on my list to double check. Would be so much easier on consult or datascan lol Have checked coil pack connectors, seem fine, i seem to have an intermittent wire problem on injector 1. I may as well re check all connections, back to basics lol. When i put the new timing belt on, i checked and triple checked the timing marks and like a saddo i even counted the ribs :biggrin: Cas could be out but i didnt touch that, Vac pipes are on both throttle bodies, i have deleted the carbon canister and PVR and taken a vac off the plenum to the fuel regulator.

Yep check the plug is all the way home on the back of the hazard switch. The hazards would still work but if the plug isnt in properly you indicators wont.

The steering alone wouldnt be an issue driving, its the slightly rough running, it feels like its holding back, slightly misfiring. Going to have another swot up tonight and hit it in the morning and see how i get on. I dont want to cause any unnecessary damage by driving it that distance.

Well ive bled it for over an hour and did get lots of air out, but still no power steering, ive had enough for tonight going to hit it in the morning with a fresh head on lol

Yep auto trans fluid in, will keep trying for air. Im guessing that the solenoid maybe wont activate properly until the correct pressure is achieved without any air

The pump is turning, and the solenoid connects to a power steering ecu in the footwell, which ive checked the connections, i may have to get the meter out for this one

Yep ive tried that, but im not getting a solenoid or the usual noise on full lock, ive checked the plug and ps ecu i havent done anything to it apart from swap it to another engine.

Believe it or not mate ive thought about bands for JAE, but unless its like an outdoor stage/event it would be soul destroying for the band. I remember JAE 08 and they had a band in the clubhouse, playing to about 20 people, really felt for them lol Unless its in their face people dont bother, apart from the award ceremonies.

Be nice to see you again, hope you manage to make it.

I couldnt believe it either Steve, not a nice sight to see on your birthday. Are you coming to JAE this year?

I was going to buy this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360331511994?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Good facilities and specs, ive used several from HK in the past and have been great, at the end of the day, where do you think most of them are made anyway :winkiss: I got a BEAT 600 off a mate after i did some work on his car as payment so didnt go for it in the end.

Happy birthday Steve, all the best Graham

Yes mate, thats the one.

No Lol, you can buy a proper particulate mask for about £15 which is suitable according to my paint supplier for short term use. I have done some 2k spraying in my garage on engine parts and primered headlight panel and wing mirrors. As long as you have the mask, spray suit and goggles and gloves you should be ok. The danger is not just breathing it in, it can get into the pores of your skin and the paint is fine, is the hardner that contains the isocynates.

Nice triplets, and kit sound, its seems you might be wasted as a heavy metal drummer lol, can here some funk going on there.

Happy Birthday Paul, didnt get on the forum yesterday, so belated lol

Thanks for the birthday wishes, i havent been working on the car today, i wish, but had a gig in Essex, so just got back, will be working on it today though :wink:
