6VOLT

Hi all, me again. Right, well i tried to help my mate with his car today. I swapped my ptu with his .. no Joy .. but now i have put it back on mine the car wont start!!!! it turns over but no combustion.. urgently need help.

Hi all, A friends Z is having a roblem. It won't start. It turns over fine but will not fire. There is no sound from the fuel pump priming and no smell of fuel when turning over. The fuel pump relay has been replaced and no joy, The water temp sensors have been rplaced recently also. We will be testing error codes tomorrow and testing the wires on the fuel pump also... Any other ideas folks?? 1990 tt manual

I used one on my old vette, from a distance it looked ok but up close it was crap! But to be fair i only went over it once, if you were to build up a few layers then use something like g3 compound to polish it back you would probably be in business. As i say, mine only looked crap because i was lazy.

Well folks!!!! That was a laborious task of explaining lol. The bovs i have are on the hard pipes and the old recircs were left in place down under the air filter. So today i removed them and have now put a kiwi boot polish lid filled with fibreglass resin and hardener to blank of the intercooler side of the pipes! They work a treat! As for the pipes attached to the air filter pipe they have been blanked with a 22mm brass end cap from b&q. The original Recirc connections are going to be cut off and welded up for a proper fix. Before the removal the car goosehonked a goodun, now no sound at all. Thanks for the laugh any way :thumbup:

exactly lol. but i just needed to know if using the bottle caps would be ok lol

because there will still be airflow going to the recirc valves. I have read a few posts which describes a noise which i am getting with mine and that has been asociated to the recircs. so seeing as i have the dump valves the recircs are going.

when i bought the car it had bov's and the recircs both connected. I have since just run the boost line to the bov's and left the recircs in place, but the recircs are leaking... so i am now doing what should have been done when the bov's were installed Maybe a bad thread title, the recircs are being removed but the pipes are beiong blocked,

because they have those demon things called dump valves above em ... and they are leaking lol

Hi all, As above, i am doing this today, I have found some plastic bottle caps that will plug the holes nicely on the intercooler side, ( the ones on the air intake are done ) Would they be ok if i was to then fill em with fibre glass resin to make them hard and sturdy?? The open end would be facing out so no contaminant would get in.

its not black mesh... It basically looks like chicken wire in the flesh lol... but it will be getting swapped for proper black stuff

Mine has the aero bomex kit also, albeit with some veilside skirts which i want to swap for some of car mads smooth jobbies. It also has some different light on the rear... With nissan stamped on the lenses. Any ideas?

Iv'e got a custom made powerflow exhaust on mine and i couldn't be happier, its a very nice sound without being completely mental

Hi all, me and my mechanic friend had a mooch around the car and could not find any issues. The prob centre bearing is not dead. There is a small amount of play but there obviousley has to be some. The diff end is fine and the wheel bearings are fine.... Could it possibly be the thrust bearing? just vibrating at a certain rpm? could i get a long nose grease gun up through the clutch fork hole and try to grease it?

I do remember that when we put the gearbox back in that 1 out of the 6 bolts that go in the support at the back of the box didnt go in because the thread was stripped.... any chance that the others could be takingup too muc strain and therefor coming loose? I doubt it, seing as all the others were bloody tight.... just thrying to think of everything thats possible.

that rev range is around that speed in the higher gears so its a possibility??? would i check it the way i described above ??

I'll be doing that on tuesday, i'll also stick the car in gear withthe brakes on and give the propshaft a wobble to check for play!...Bloody thing... Hopefully it will be something stupid like a the propshaft support need tightening up.. but i doubt it

Hi all, me again, driving about with this noise for a while i have noticed a few things, It doesn't alter under cornering, and if i go up the rev range with no boost the noise does not occur. But under boost it does every time ! I'm maybe thinking that it could be a propshaft bearing instead??? Only making the noise when the extra power provided by the turbo's kicks in ?? Ideas? Dan.

rpm , from around 2,500 to 3,000 rpm through any gear. The brakes need replacing all round so could it possibly warpage of a disc ?? But the thing is it doesnt judder through the wheel at all, if the noise wasn't made you wouldn't know it.

btw it does not vibrate ?

Hi all, A few weeks ago i noticed that my car would make a humming noise just as i approached 3,000 rpm and then it would go as i carried on up the rev range. This has now got a bit more prominent! Is it possibly a wheel beaaring? it seems like its coming from the left rear ( thats the side that i have noticed that my tyre is wearing on the inside ) Any ideas are welcome. Dan.

If you fancy giving me an email i will give you the number, im just not happy posting any details on an open forum

Coz your inept

To be honest folks i wouldn't even ask this bloke anything about the heater core on these motors, i think he held some pipes back once or twice While I was under the dash getting the work done ! :glare:

ZX-TT = ANORACK !! sat in the same room as me and wont ask to use the computer... tapping away on his ipod :tt2:

He told me 65 inc p+p fella.
