Removing crank shaft
That's a very good point, I forgot that... the oil pump is only 3-4mm thick aluminium so whatever you do, don't get a big screwdriver behind the sprocket and lever it off.

Removing crank shaft
Yes, you need to get this off to get the oil pump off. If you can't pull it off with the puller, you will have to drill and tap 2 M5/M6 holes and make a puller. Try not to damage the teeth as they are mega money from nissan :( HTH Rob

My Z went into safety boost..... and BMW Z4 race
Boost is at 0.8 bar / 12psi normally (Apexi gauge) Stock injectors Lovely fresh V-Power (only ever V-Power too) Aftermarket chip-No idea. I have not ever looked. I think I need aftermarket intercoolers :D (it's a good excuse) :p I even had the window open on the motorway, and know the exact point it dropped into safety boost, but I heard no audible det at all! In fact I never hear it in the black car. Cheers all. Go get a nice cool beer ;) :duffer:

Getting Det
Good stuff James! Glad you got it sorted out in the end. It makes it all worth while to have a zed on full chat :D I think I might knock my timing back a degree or so, intermittant safety boost.

My Z went into safety boost..... and BMW Z4 race
Hi Dave, do you think yours is doing it because your fault means your fuel pump is not supplying enough fuel? I think I may knock a degree off it then. Did you notice any lack of power with 2deg change? Ok so it's not necessarily going to record the reason for going into safety mode. :( Maybe getting rid of the stock IC's and replacing with either larger SMIC's or a FMIC will lower intake temps and reduce the chance of detting as well. Thanks fellas! :duffer:

My Z went into safety boost..... and BMW Z4 race
Would the ECU store why it has done this? I was on the motorway, pulling hard in 4th gear and it reverted to safety mode for some reason. It was quite a hot day, but I had a tank of fresh V-Power in it. I really don't know why it would go into safety boost. It does it VERY occasionally (every few weeks or so). So it is a very intermittent problem and hard to trace. Anyway, I gets off the motorway, go down a DC and het stuck behind a car doing 50. So I pass him, and so does the Z4 behind me :D We wait at the lights, him on the left, me on right. He has his top down and his beautiful lady has her long blonde hair flapping all over the place in the light wind :) Lights go green, I'm not sure if he wants to play OR if I'm up to it (being in safety boost) so he gets away first and has 3/4 car length on me. I overhaul this in 2nd gear and his face as I passed him was like he was chewing a lemon :rofl: he was not amused. Anyway on the next DC rolling from 50, 70 etc I beat him every time. Not by a huge amount but still beat him nonetheless. I would guess that he was in the 3.0L 320bhp jobbies because the Z on safety boost was quite close in performance (250bhp?) So I get home, park up. 5 mins later I need to go out again so I take the Z and see if i'm back to full boost again and yes, it's back to full power. What would cause it to go into safety mode? And would I be able to read back a previous fault code? T I A :duffer: Rob.

where to get a sticker number-plate?
Alan, I'm liking the sticky numberplate a lot! Much better for airflow around the front of the car. Berks, nice one, I'll keep you in mind. I could do with one on the red car. :duffer:
