  1. rtbiscuit dont think it will make any difference on your car really on or off, you've got to many other mods done so will not be a true increase from a standard mod. give it to the lads in abbey if they got the time / effort to swap it with one of their cars, I'd say that you should see 9-10 hp on the fly from standard and thats it... shouldnt be more since it's a plenum with a spacer really aint it?
  2. lol yeah they will red light means stop and do not pass go... knew that already fingers crossed...and if you focked it go with a stroker kit
  3. not sure why that would be that it wouldnt 'work'.... its a piggy back thing no?
  4. Difference between us utec and uk utec, dontthink so
  5. I'm confused, knocking is onething but misfire should not have anything to do with ignition map!? Hope you get it sorted mate, youneed to trustthe lads messing with ur car
  6. Dont don't keep me in the dark!
  7. sheit sorry to hear that mate, didnt they just put in some work on the ignition map for you? or is this missfire just developed ?
  8. I dont know, call them and ask them and keep it cool and let us know how you got on
  9. it's different with TSB... check with a Nissan garage, got a gearbox/clutch swapped out on a Mazda MX5 03 ,2006 so thats 3 year after warranty runs out.. think it's different if you got factory problem... worth a call Quote: Nissan releases TSB NTB07-088c: 2005- 2006 350Z: Engine Oil Level Is Low You're a sexy beast Andlid! Not sure if I should be running at this stage... (or better yet driving!) Ahh, I read the last page on that link you sent me. At least in the US, drivetrain warranty is 5 years/60k miles. My car's due a service about 2k miles so I think I'm going to do this! You sexy bea...bitch! I'm outta here!

  11. There's your answer, women are always the issue when it comes to losing track of money The missus actually manages to save all her money (maybe thats it, she earns less than me, but ends up with more. ) Andlid - I have identified the £300 a month i've been wasting, and up until xmas i would have started saving that - but now my missus isnt working, that £300 is no longer spare. However, when she's working again, i wont return to old ways, and that £300 will be put to sensible use. volks. at least you know where to get it from in the future... btw... the lads have a point on the msss spending... for you... I looked last year and more then likely spent more then the other half on everything... (then again... she's worth it)
  12. if you got a revup engine and it's drinking oil you need to check the TSB for the engine, I'll see if I can find it on the net. Nissan's way of dealing with it was to replace the whole engine... found it: http://www.my350z.com/forum/engine-and- ... ssion.html Snip: Ok, now in layman terms: Oil level is >1/3 qt (8mm) low, car has 2k mi on current oil change. Have dealer confirm the reading and document on your file, dealer tops off oil and tells you to come back in 1k mi. 1001 miles later you check it and its 8 mm 1/3 qt low or >, take it to dealer to confirm reading and your engine will be replaced. It’s that simple. So go and check it make sure it's at the H mark, come back after 1001 miles and if it's gone down 8mm on the stick you might be due an engine change... if still under warranty and nothing modified...

  14. halfords Not sure but did you REALLY need 3 litres of OIL?! To much oil ain't good either...
  15. nothing problaby... either loose some of the expense or get a higher income If you REALLY want to know where all your money goes make a budget and take in ALL the expense you do and see where it all ends up...then put 200-300£ if not more asside into a savings account.. did that a good while back myself and have around 8k sitting there waiting to be spent Try the credit card tip sounds good to me
  16. yeah I hear you... my bike (SV 650S) didn’t even show it's light before the engine seized due to oil starvation on the front cylinder
  17. Have seen examples where low oil can cause low oil pressure. A top up was all that was required. Also confirmed by ZMANALEX at the time The Zed has a low oil level warning but no low pressure warning. Hope it wasn't your engine? i would be very wary of future reliability of an engine showing low oil pressure because of low oil level, most engines are designed to have oil pickups that are always below the oil level, even when the low oil light is lit. The only time i have ever seen oil pressure drop is when there is low oil coupled with very high/sustained cornering, IE track with a badly designed or un baffled sump. think mine did the same...
  18. Engine speed rpm.................................Approximate discharge pressure kPa (kg/cm2 , psi) Idle speed.......................................................More than 98 (1.0, 14) 2,000.............................................................More than 294 (3.0, 43) 6,000.............................................................More than 392 (4.0, 57) Not sure the gauge on the dash can be used for it though, looks like you need to check that with this: 1. Check oil level. Refer to LU-6, "Inspection" . 2. Remove undercover with power tool. 3. Disconnect oil pressure sensor harness connector. 4. Remove oil pressure sensor. 5. Install pressure gauge. 6. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature. 7. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
  19. I was joking wasn't aimed at you, ya big muppet check who i quoted, it wasn't you Oh..... @ me, Ill get my coat.
  20. is your car having dark end pipes? (oily) Is it oil in the plenum (intake manifold) chamber, is it dirty in the trottle body? You might be dragging some oil back into the car via the two areas into the plenum.. get an oil catch can! Or you might have a leaky valve cover gasket. (mine is leaking a tiny tiny bit on the 6th cylinder) or oil is escaping elsewhere. I hear different stories from different Z owners (not sure if this is down to pure driving style) that some fill up oil all the time between oil changes and some dont... I do and keep a very close eye on it, if you see the oil light it could be to late!
  21. Thanks for that I did search using several configurations, but got nothing on each occasion Thats why i finally asked. i just typed "throttle controller" into the search function and it was the 4th post down if search isn't working for you the advanced one underneath is better and shows whole threads instead of all the posts. anyways, hope the original post helps I was joking
  22. Correct bar one thing, Mr A wont have any money in the bank account... he will however have more mods on his car then Mr B
