When the code comes on does it make the engine behave differently? ie alters fueling etc (like limp mode)

Cheers for the info. The chap i bought the car off last week said he only ever so the code once and that was before he fitted the spacers. So something must be ucked.

Does anyone know which of the sensors my error relates to? left or right on the HFCs or is there any sensor further up the exhaust?

Have you got the spacers on the OT sensors? Id like to get rid of the engine management light so want to get this fixed....

I did search but could only find the long list of codes but not an explanation on how to fix it. I have DTC P1147 and P1167 (Ho2s2 B1) Ho2sw B2) error codes P1147 Heated O2 Sensor 2 P1167 Heated O2 Sensor 2 I have HFC and apparently I have the spacers(according to the previous owner) (if i didnt wouldnt they both throw up errors?) Any ideas?

While cleaning the car I found a 2cm hole. Anyone got a good way to sort it or know of a repair place thats affordable in or around Surrey?

Flyboy are you still doing these?

Sparky, I've got the nilfsk, foam lance and magi foam if you wanna try it out before buying. I'm a couple of mins from leatherhead. Chris

I've got some lovely zymol wax for the paint work. Are you thinking of poor boys natty paste?

No pix yet as I used it in my Ibiza, won't be picking up the Z till the end of the week. Then I've got a hell of a job to clean it up........

Ordered some of the above and it turned up today, what an excellent addition to my cleaning arsenal. Highly recommended.

Hi, if I buy my new 350z on Sunday ill be interested in this. Be cool to meet a local Z owner too Chris

Hi jo3ly, did you sell the tyres?

Cheers mate, do all cars have electric heated mirrors? The owner said his are not heated.

Im hopefully picking up my new Z very soon but the drivers side wing mirror is smashed, it's a gt version on a 55 plate. Is this the right replacement glass for it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190714105615?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Is it a good price?

I love seeing it go from bad to a brand new car! Great work.

Perhaps the missus car could do with a good good detail, like proper deep clean and claybar. Then you may also find it easier to clean on a regular basis. Once a routine is set, it actually sometimes can become a touchless wash, but I still do the whole thing as I find it a tad therapeutic, lol Totally Agree with yr comments but she doesn't seem to care about her car so I'm loaved to spend a day claying it. I too find it relaxing cleaning my vehicles

Well I foamed my car today and it brought it up spotless. 10x better than the misses car. I do how ever look after my car I'll try foaming It without the prewash next time as I agree with the comments above about it dripping off too quickly.

Sorry ChrisS. I just used the search function and found some interesting reading. By coincidence my name is ChrisS too

Has anyone got or used a bike carrier to take the mountainbikes about on the Z? or is it possible to fit a towbar? Im in the process of getting a Z (probably a convertible) and wanted to know if carrying a bike was at all possible? On my current car they said it wasnt possible to fit a detachable towbar but I just had to remove a small bit of the bumper. Suppose thats not really going to work with the massive backbox on the Z.

I hope it does work. I was sold hook line and sinker by the snow covered cars

Cheers chaps. With the lance from Autobrite I also purchased a Nilfisk C120 which is meant to be a good entry level pressure washer. It definately made some awesome foam all over the car. I will have to try it on my car 'which is kept clean' and see how it deals with a weeks worth of dirt. I thought that it might just be to remove the top layer of dirt and then i can use the two bucket method to clean. I wanted to perfect the lance before i get my 350z (which im wanting to get detailed and some paint correction) so that the paint stays perfect.

Well I used the above for the 1st time on the misses Civic and tbh Im not very impressed. Filled the litre bottle with an 1" of magifoam and then the rest with warm water. Covered the car in foam and left it for 10mins. Blasted it off with the pressure washer and then waited to see how clean it was. Bearing in mind the misses never cleans her car and spends alot of time on the motorway it was pretty filthy. While it was drying I ran my fingers over the body work and my fingers came away black, leaving dirt marks on the car. So I foamed the car again and left it. This time the majority of the car was clean apart from some stubbon stains and both the front doors, I couldnt even jet wash the dirt off (but you could wipe it off with your hand??) I was under the impression that the magifoam(being the more expensive would break the grime down thus leaving a clean car) Any one else got a lance and magifoam who would care to comment?

Mine arrived today. Can't wait to use it. I went with the magifoam.
