TubZ

...Based on my knowlegge of where he is with it at the moment and not where he wants to be (500bhp+)...

in the help and advice from last night... Paul@SWZ quoted....if you send it to me and tell me the colour you want it i will see what i can do http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE:IT&ih=005

Someone posted a re-trim thread last night...maybe Paul a SWZ has a contact for this?

That cos all their power sterring pumps are f****D on their Z's!!!!

RPS Street Sport is your best bet for value and performance....Remember to spend a bit extra £8/£10 on a new pivot ball when you fit any one though!!

Pity the steering wheel is on the wrong side as that is a mint motor and would be worth shipping!

Who's bringing you food and water?!!

Cheers fella. Thanks alot.

Anyone?

Black Z Prince Saitama nissan stickers... my mrs just saw you and phoned me to tell me it was immaculate!! She never gets involved with the Z so to float her boat it must be special!!!

Are they all spray painted in the factory finish or moulded with a colour in the blend? Also is the outer trim removeable/swapable? As per my 'item wanted' post...i need to know if they're all sprayed or hold out for a gunmetal (faster:) )one.. I'm looking for a mirror......I need an offside/drivers mirror trim, (top part and outer edge surround or maybe the whole unit if you can't/won't split) ...Preferably gunmetal grey...someone rolled a van (pushing it down my mates street) into mine and cracked it this evening :-( let me know if you might have one... 07818 607568.

Smooth (with the lip curve!) is the way forward ;-)

All you want is a fiddler now, and you can go busking around the restaurants to fund your mods!!

clean the connectors is the first job if you've not already done so!

Be thankful it was a whhel and track rod and not a child...I think your brave to post it up fella and admit your misdemeanor... However as food for thought i'd edit it. Like most some other posts on here i'm always surprised how open some people are if anything ever happens to the car then this would be the first place i'd look as an accident investigator...The guy watering his plants might also have picked up the phone afterwards....food for thought?

Quick tip...get some RainX, clean your screen, and apply it...no wipers needed if you driving over 40mph!! It saved my neck a couple of times at higher speeds when they stop on the Z and is used on my golf at the moment as my rain sensor seems to stop them working on the odd occasion!!

Is this what they call a credit 'munch'??!!

I have a set of cat sections (poss racing cats?) on my Mongoose cat back at the moment that i want to swap back to my de-cat pipes to make it sound better. Hoping to swap this weekend and will be posting pics etc in the for sale section next week...

I'm not exactly sure what the problem was as I've re-done a few things, but Andy Duff's Advice about the TPS 'closed Throttle' was good and led me to clean all the connectors on this as they were a bit green and the clip on the TPS is broken, so could be causing connection probs (Got a small cable tie on this now). I also checked that the 'TPS closed' sensor opens and closes from idle when opening the throttle. After a clean up i re-checked (using Conzult) and all was OK. (out of interest if this was not working would it cause the throttle not to open properly causing air starvation at higher revs???) Anyway, I then re-set the TPS to 0.46V and then Base idle to 750rpm. TPS was at 0.42 and I've gone back to the advised .45-.5V Next was the timing. I was getting different readings from the timing using the PTU lead (open clamp) so I set the clamp around No.1 Cylinder (near oil cap) and (closed clamp) and re-set the timing. It was severely retarded to about 5degerees BTDC and off the markings. I adjusted the CAS with the engine off and re-starting a couple of times to get it to sit at 15 degrees BTDC at idle. Conzult now reads the same at idle and both conzult and the strobe light showed an advance to 30+degrees when increasing revs. Just come back from a bit of a blat and she's purring like a kitten again!! Thanks to all concerned for your helpful assistance, especially Andy for his helpful attention which pointed me in the right direction!..Roll on 29th June to Brecon!!!:hyper:

will do bud. Bit hungover after a wedding party yesterday so not had a nose under the bonnet today...Just got back from my mates kids party so thinking about a hair of the dog and an early night instead! Will have a look tomorrow and PM you if i get anywhere. Will no doubt require further analysis first so will be in touch!!

Attached is the log file. As i previously suggested i think i now need to re-set TPS and Base Idle as per here. They were adjusted prior to timing, but the base idle was set too low i think and not brought up to 750 rpm. when you start is cold it sits about 500rpm. then when you blip teh throttle it idles at 1K. I say that base idle needs adjusting again, because when i ran the the power balance tests, (latter screenshots) i had to get the mrs to hold the revs at 2k as if i click these functions the car just cuts out. (normally it drops slightly then compensates when in these modes). Anyway, there is no screenshot as i had IT probs last night, but there are no fault codes. Excuse the spelling (I can't edit word on my main PC as i don't have office 97 installed!) Comments preceed each screen grab rather than after them..(Cant edit each one to move them next to each pertinent screenshot for the same edit reason!) Any advice much appreciated!

cheers guys. was up to temp on all occasions. i ran the conzult ona win98 (old laptop) so now waiting to get my diagnostic output screenshots off a floppy onto my other laptop or PC as the old one won't recognise my usb stick (despite having a port!) and i dont have the stick drivers. will post results later but think i need to re-set TPS and BASE idle as when i attempt to run base idle 'adjustment' or 'drop test' off the conzult the car cuts out so base idle is way too low. will get mt results and comments posted later

Aye. Count me in. 1) Anthonyd 2) Glenn 3) Ashtones 4) Johnyboy 5) Lampshader (maybe) 6)Tubz
