  1. Past hour
  2. The high flow cats will probably be the issue. Make sure that they are really hot when you have the test. A friendly MOT tester would also help.

  4. Hey guys, I had a pre MOT 5 weeks ago and the car failed on emissions. I bought uprated coil packs and spark plugs as she was running a little rough. They took so long to come I’ve just had them fitted today however the emissions are still a problem so, my thoughts are that the cats have gone. My MOT is now due next week and with my work schedule I can’t really do much about it. I have a bottle of Cataclean and a dream. Has anyone used this product and did it work? For reference I have high flow cats not stock.
  5. From the symptoms (not self centering) I would have said it was likely either the rack binding, suspension geometry/alignment, or ball joints/friction. Doubtful the pump had anything to do with it, unless the steering is heavy, noisy, or the fluid is foamy. I'm surprised the garage were not able to diagnose it - if you lift the car up in the air and the problem goes away (the weight is off the suspension) its more likely suspension issue, and its still the same its likely the rack or ball joints/friction. Too many garages just don't follow logical cause condition confirm diagnosis these days.

  7. CL-8 CLUTCH FLUID CLUTCH FLUID PFP:00017 Bleeding ACS0014Z CAUTION: Monitor fluid level in the reservoir tank to make sure it does not empty. Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the affected area with water. Bleed the operating cylinder. 1. Fill the master cylinder reservoir tank with new clutch fluid. 2. Connect a transparent vinyl hose to the air bleeder. 3. Depress the clutch pedal quickly and fully a few times and hold it. 4. With clutch pedal depressed, open air bleeder. 5. Close air bleeder. 6. Release clutch pedal and wait for 5 seconds. 7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until no bubbles can be observed in the brake fluid. Air bleeder: : 5.9 - 9.8 N·m (0.61 - 0.99 kg-m, 53 - 86 in-lb) SCIA1496E Edited February 4, 2013 by ZMANALEX
  8. Yes, notorious for bleeding issues, especially if you let the master cylinder reservoir run dry when replacing the slave cylinder. Bench bleeding is a procedure where the items being replaced are filled with fluid and manually operated in vice to get all the air out of the cyls. When this is complete, fit the cyls to the car and follow the manufacturers bleeding procedures. Please note that there are more than one slave cylinder options for the VQ35DE.
  9. Ahh ok cool top man ta. Whats this bench bleeding thing about? Not jeard of thos technique and was just gonna fit knock off new slave cylinder nipple and bleed in situe. Are they renowned for bleeding issues then? (So to speak lol) Cheers, Dave
  10. Still not resolved this sluggish power steering issue - it's not the pump, I think it's almost certainly the steering rack, so question is, where do I get a used steering rack?
  11. Last week
  12. Hi everyone, I wanted to share project I am currently working on for my 370Z. I do not have BOSE and wanted to improve sound quality, so I created these custom 6x9 pods because I wanted a way to mount my Pioneer TS-D69F speakers behind seats. It's slightly tilted not too much, it will sit on the shelf and I will be making small holes on the shelfs for air to escape as it's tiny. I will also install sound insulation in the inside and wrap the outside with speaker cloth. i will be using an amp for these and front door speakers. Let me know what you think, if you have any recommendations?
  13. created by mistake
  14. That will be your ABS module. Easily moved to the side to gain access to the master cyl. hardware.
  15. All ticket places arw same mate. B@stards. I got into a war with ticket master after stuoidly mixing up venues on a misleading fb weblink. Refused to transfer or refund. If u can find out if the car and holder transfer then i may have it matey. Sorry for delay answering. Things bit manic this end as moving onto a narrowboat.
  16. There is a bcm or ecu above brake pedal below steering column with bcm caged connection whats this then pls? Thanks for reply btw Bongo
  17. Just drop the lower trim above the pedals. The 2 bolts and the clevis pin can be reached from there. The ECU will not get in the way as it is on the other side. Top Tip: Bench Bleed the slave and master before fitting.
  18. Hi Some will recal i droppwd onto a 350z rag top which was standing for 13yrs. Innevitably, now its being used daily issues are arrising lol. I cjanged the slave clutch cylinder after pedal to floor issues and it wont bleed so now purchased a master cylinder. Ive removed all the engine bay pipes and gubins easy enough but cant even see the two 12mm bolts to put a socket on! Do i need to drop the entire pedal box and ecu to gain access? Peed off and missing the drive thrills so please help i wanna get this done and bled tomoz. Back on road asap. Thanks Bongo dave x
