Car won't rev over 3000
Under normal circumstances, it would be the maf at fault as it will not rev over 2.5k revs if dead, but it it does seem that with the injectors uprated the fueling is way out. Noz out tuning guru will no doubt be able to offer some advice :thumbup1:

Looking for my first Datsun
Best to have no friends, less likely to be stabbed in the back or get your missus poached, unless she can be part ex'd for the Datsun :bow:

ebay spot
I looked at that earlier, looks pretty clean. Likely the heater matrix or actuator for the valve needs replacing, but not the end of the world in the grand scheme of zed foibles :thumbup:

More problems what a surprise!
Right quite a common problem with headlights and one ive found the cure to was take off the passenger kick panel and just up near the bottom of the dash on the left are a couple of connector plugs, check for green corrosion on the pins of these plugs. I had two pins that where pretty bad which affected my horn going off constantly and the drivers headlight staying on by itself even with the switch off.

JaiKai - Full rebuild & Respray
They all look like that when first done :lol: he has done a great job Lee, keep on top of it though, but dont use autosol it will dull the shine, autosol is good for stainless steel, but not so good with polished ali. Use something like brilliant metal polish that is non abrasive or do some research :thumbup1:

Cleaning throttle springs
Dremel is only good for nooks and crannies, originally i bought a whole set of sisal and buffing wheels to mount on a drill, the speed needs to be fairly high, then exert some pressure, the dremel isnt strong enough when you put too much pressure. I will start another thread lol on how i did mine and the new system i bought at the NEC to stop clogging Si's thread further :thumbup1:

Cleaning throttle springs
Lots of youtube vids on how to polish lol, its just so time consuming when doing the plenum, other stuff like water pipes and smaller parts is not so bad, but the hardest part of the whole polishing engine parts job is keeping up with the finish. You have to set aside some time per week/month, to keep the shine. There are a couple of types of systems to use, the metallic composition to take into consideration, eg steel or ali etc have different make ups in chemical compounds and how these are affected when polishing. Prep is key and the smoother the finish before polishing the better result achieved :thumbup1:

Cleaning throttle springs
Yes used a brillo wheel first to get rid of the rust then a sisal wheel on a drill with some compound, but you still need to keep on top of cleaning as they will eventually oxidise again as they are steel. I got all the gear if you want to send the linkeage with the clocks when you go away :thumbup1:

Help, MOT fail
Its not on the logbook, its on the vin plate under the bonnet, seat belt tags if original, under the boot carpet and on the back of the plastic rear light covers, my zed shows a K plate, 1993, it is infact a 1990 according to the vin plate etc... Removing the temp sender plug, will also likely make the engine run rich as the ecu needs the signal to adjust the fuel when up to temp.
