GT04JAP

Hi,

Sold my beloved 350z (GT04 JAP) about 3 weeks ago and upgraded to a GM 370 GT on a 60 plate.

I loved my 350z and had a few modifications such as Revup map , full stainless with berks cats but I must say the 370z is a better car. The performance from the 370 is awesome and very noticeable, the interior is also a much better place to be with extras like the HDD sat navigation system. So even though I miss my 350 I don't regret upgrading :-)

That might have been me in Tescos as I'm always in there filling up :-)

Hi guys apologies for the late update on my Z but I actually got it sorted in the end by booking it in to a local Nissan garage for cost of £98. It turned out that the idle had been advanced and car was running too rich so they adjusted and allowed the car to go through its learning process which sorted it. It scraped through on 0.2 which is the limit but they did say that the loaned cats were totally knackered. Getting my stainless put back on Tuesday and I will then be selling as I've just put deposit down on a 60 plate 370 GT :-)

Thanks for all your advice

Well spent all day with Jez at HDev replacing my cats with standard and a standard Y piece and it still failed the emissions, no change in reading what so ever!! I reckon the testers O2 sensor may be buggered but he reckoned it could be due to the car not recognising the new Lambda settings when they were fitted so back up to HDev for Jez to test but all seemed fine on his computer. Am totally at a loss now as something weird is going on. It is booked in at Fleet Auto way which is a Nissan approved independent on Thursday to see what they can come up with unless someone can give me directions to a very relaxed MOT tester ;-)

Hopefully getting loaned a standard set tomorrow so it passes the test as I didn't keep mine as the berks were supposed to be MOT friendly. Thanks for the advice I shall update tomorrow if it passes or not, fingers crossed

Hi Mark

I can scan it in the morning as I'm at the girlfriends at the moment.

On Friday the car was cold which is why I was advised to get the exhaust hot, so took it for a good hour run and it went straight in on ramp. Passed all other tests on emissions was just the CO2 which was up at 0.56. Last year on my reading was 0.03.

Also I had the 2 rear lambda sensors replaced back in November when engine management light came on.

The MOT man reckoned the cats were shot as they smelt funny but I only had them fitted in August so doubt if they are, what do you think?

Hi all

Was hoping I could get some helpful advice from the experts on this site. My 350 failed the MOT on Friday due to emissions, CO2 reading was 0.56 apparently it should be no more than 0.30. I took the car for an hour hard drive this lunchtime and took it back to motest in Aldershot (had been advised to get cats up to temp) still failed at 0.50!!

Anyone know what could be causing this?

I'm running berks free flow cats and a cobra stainless exhaust and a remap. It passed last year with the cobra exhaust and standard cats so only change is the berks and remap.

Thanks Gary

When and where do people meet?

Hi, that is my number plate

I've only just joined the forum today so sorry about late reply :-)

Think I remember seeing a 350z going into Mortimer train station one evening. I don't often use that route much now as I now work in Thatcham and use the 339 which is quicker.

By the way the exhaust is a Cobra and reasonably priced at about £650 from their website

I live in Aldershot so always up and down the BVR and Camberley area
