Idle adjustment help
i set my TPS correct, (conzult) i set my idle about 750-800, as thats what its "suppost" to be on. however i found that was too low, as sometimes the car would cut out after being revvd to say 5000/6000 RPM, it couldnt seem to catch itself and would stall. ive got mine on 900-1000 to stop that from happening. you can adjust and listen to the engine, you can hear it struggling when its too low

I am IDIOT, I can´t remove Stock Blow off
i pulled the air con cylinder out the way. even tho they are hard pipes that go to it, they are flexible-ish. same with the oil cooler. its just one of the things with owning a Z, you have to remove about 2or 3 things to get at anything. remove the bumper? its not that hard

Battery light on
sorry to bump this, what should happen if i put my multimeter on the terminals, when car off, then started? will the fact that the car has been off the road nearly a year ruin the battery? iv had to charge it 3 or 4 times to start the engine every so often. i have a battery from my escort gona put in there to do some tests on, how can i check if the battery is crap, use multimeter on a known good 1 in what way?

worrying noise :S power steering pump?
hmm ok well i still have this problem. its been in the garage for an MOT, and they fixed the pump, so it has power steering, but its still making the whine. theres plenty of fluid in there, and ive bled it. think the garage said the pipe had a split in it, which they sorted. would i have damaged the pump itself if it ran dry of fluid? (there was some in there, but dont think it was getting to the pump through the split)

sprayed rear centre panel (reverse lights panel)
2 reasons for doing this, 1) its not a 300zx, its a Fairlady Z. its not the import, not UK. 2) i like the anonymous approach, so not everyone knows what it is. removed panel: masked up: (took about 20 mins, easy to do) sprayed: fitted: ive seen panel all sprayed, but thaught id leav the reverse lights showing :)

Top 10 fastest cars under 5k
