Just back from NISSAN, and the top tech printed off the FAULT sheet as follow: DTC P0420,P00430 - Three way catalyst function Trouble diagnosis name - Catalyst system efficiency below threshhold DTC detecting condition - 1. Three way catalyst 1 does not operate properly 2. Three way catalyst 1 does not have enough oxygen storage capacity Possible Cause - 1. Three way catalyst 1 2. Exhaust tube 3. Intake Air Leaks 4. Fuel injector 5. Fuel injector leaks 6. Spark Plug 7. Improper ignition Timing. When the frequency ratio of air fuel ratio (A/F)SENSOR 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2 approaches a specified limit value, the three way catalyst 1 malfunction is diagnosed. The sheet was pretty detailed, and had a diagram of the catalysts, sensor positions etc!! Anyway, the light is now off, and the Z is booked in for next wednesday, for which I will get an 08 Zed to drive around in and they will check the Plennum spacer to make sure there are NO air leaks etc, as this is one of the odds on favourite to be the cause, NOT the cats! Fingers crossed!! Jerry *STOP PRESS* Found out that the previous owner had the spacer fitted december 08, and the engine light has been recorded as coming on, and corrected under warranty. Im beginning to think that the Spacer has a fault or it hasnt been fitted correctly...

Thanks Alex, read your PM, and will find out exact code from Nissan! Hope the Z will still be ok to drive normally?

I putting my money on faulty lambda sensors

Yes, its unfortunate for me. I have not been charged for this as the car is under warranty (I hope) from Nissan, but my suspicion is that something is definitely faulty for it to be triggering the engine light, im really cheesed off about it, but I will again keep everyone posted..wish me luck BTW, none of the mods listed below are on the car, except those that came with the car, and were fitted by Nissan themselves 1. 5Zigen exhaust 2. Pop charger 3. High Flow Cats 4. Plennum spacer Above, fitted by Nissan.

Was driving to see my clients this evening around 7.30pm, saw this Black Z roadster parked up, not too far from Crystal Palace. Was it yours? Jerry

Bad news, on the way home from work tonight, the same light came on again! Feel depressed, so will get to Nissan tomorrow, and tell them the bad news. I hope it wont cost me..only had the Z 4 weeks

I took with a LG VIEWTY 5 Mega Pixels

Thanks for the kind comments Guys and Gals, I did not use a Tripod, just my Phone camera Jerry!!

How does the the price of the Miracle Fireball compare with the A-spec Pro-racer? Are the sounds similar? Good luck with the sale!! Jerry

Forecast Looks good too!!

Very nice Mark, had me in stiches again, plus thx for help!! Jerry

I thought it was the BIG first bottle! It said, I think, "refrigerant"..ROFLCOPTER

Guys, Had a quick look in the engine bay and could see an EXPANSION bottle for coolant, saw the air con bottle, power steering, where is the bottle? Cheers Jerry

OMG..what wheels are those...5ZIGEN? Lovely Z , well done!! Jerry

Wonder how much those RAYS wheels cost??

Sorry to see the damage, but it looks relatively minor cosmetic!

5ZIGEN for that tokyo drift sound, sounds ace after 3K revs!!

Im going to try the Poorboys Trim restorer

The VS kit has grown on me, those girls enhance the look

Welcome, sorry to hear of your misfortune! I sent you a PM about some trim, did you get it?? Jerry

Sarnie, want another one?

Why not indeed..
