Sold! Please lock

Bump, lowered again.

Bump, price dropped

Price drop! I'm only listing at this price for you guys. I'll be putting it up for more on eBay this weekend.

Hi guys,

Unfortunately I'm selling my zed! I've absolutely loved this car for the past 4 years - but I've decided to buy an M3 (don't hate me!), thus need the cash from this sale. I've only listed on here so far but I'll be putting it on eBay soon if there's no interest. Here's the ad, please feel free to ask any questions!

OK, so with help of a friend we figured out both issues as seen in the videos.

The first video (with the new motor), would have been rectified by simply closing the door!! When the switch is pressed (for the door sensor) the window went straight up. I'm guessing this is some kind of safety feature due to the frameless door. So closing the door seemed to trigger the calibration.

The second video, where I'd attempted to put the old motor back in: it was hitting the trim as the glass had come off the runner. If you shine a torch inside the door from the top you can see where the glass came out from the front of the door. Giving the regulators a little jiggle ensured the glass was back in place.

Glad to have that sorted!

When I cleaned my window motor, the glass needed adjusting after I put it all back together (it'd obviously moved during), so just slacken off the bolts holding the glass and manually move it until it's in the right place again. 

Thanks, I'll take a look at that and give it a go soon!

Yes mate. First video is with the new one, second is with the old one back in

Hi all,

I attempted to replace the window motor today - I can't say it has been easy, I've found it very fiddly! Anyway I got the new window motor on, but unfortunately when trying to wind it up it wasn't working correctly. At first I tried pressing the window up button and nothing happened. I then pressed down, then up after and it began to raise but only so far:

I couldn't find out what the issue is - so just assumed a bad motor and I swapped it out with the old one again (it's on it's way out, but still kind of working). However now the glass seems to be out of alignment and is hitting the plastic trim?

Any ideas as to what is going on? I've had to tape up my window with bin bags for the night as it's dark now - not ideal in this weather

Thanks in advance,

Adrian

Hey,

I'm after a set for front and rear. At least genuine Nissan, but would consider aftermarket / uprated for the right price too (I'm not necessarily fussed about them being adjustable).

Cheers,

Adrian

Hi mate,

Apologies, kept meaning to provide an update.

So, I've got the car back. After replacing the slave cylinder, and further bleeding and pedal adjustment it's all sorted. The biting point is very low (as in, as soon as the pedal moves off the floor at all, the clutch begins to engage), but otherwise it's great! Pulls very well! The Xtreme SMF isn't that noisy at all either. On idle it's silent, and there's a bit of noise with low rpm (say 1k-2k), but then you don't hear it further up. Pretty happy with it, and the throttle response is much better too.

Alright mate thanks for that. Painful!

So the new slave cylinder was fitted, and there is more movement now but it still isn't right..

Cheers. They're trying a new slave cylinder so fingers crossed its that. If not then gearbox back out job!

Hmm, if that's the case then it's a faulty slave cylinder then. Yes they did seem certain it was all assembled correctly.

Does it look like a slave cylinder issue based on the video above?

Forgot to mention, the part number on the box does appear to be correct. KN125525/1A

Hi, the garage just sent this through - any thoughts?

 

 

I was charged for the correct part as well. Just check the code in the morning to make sure it's not something as simple as the wrong part.

Thanks mate will do

They don't really want to but sounds like they may have to. Obviously the slave cylinder will be much easier to change but there's a cost associated with that too. Looking at the image above though, I'm not convinced the slave cylinder is failing.. it is certainly moving. It's just odd that the fork is further to the right than the image above.

He did pull out the rubber bung, I'm not convinced it was loose because we were using a bar to try and engage the clutch (it wasn't obviously loose). Can't comment on comparing new vs old but I would assume they had.

Maybe the clutch fork has come off the pivot ball clip or the bearing has come off the clutch fork. It's easy to knock the clutch fork when re-fitting the gearbox onto the engine.

Hmm, if this was the case would the clutch fork be loose / movable by hand?

I had the same issue when fitting its on my old car. Ewen had accidentally sent an HR kit instead of DE. He sent the correct one and I returned the HR worked perfectly.

I hope that's not the case, the garage have just spent the day taking the gearbox off and refitting it - do you know how I can confirm whether it is the DE or HR version? I don't believe it said on the box itself.

Edit: I can see I've been charged for the correct version as the HR version is more expensive:

KNI25525-1A - DE (Mine) - £792

KNI25688-1A - HR - £1,128

I'm assuming this code will be on the box, so I can check that in the morning.

Thanks, I'll suggest that. I trust the garage would have done the job properly but they didn't seem convinced on the slave cylinder (due to the fact it was working correctly before). From memory though, the fork definitely seemed further to the right than the image above - if my memory does serve me correctly, what could cause that?

Do you have an external slave cylinder?

Yes it is. Here's an image off google. What the mechanic showed me looked like this (but the fork was much further to the right!)

Edit, here's a youtube video where the above image came from. This is how it's supposed to work, it wasn't operating like this at the garage:

He did try bleeding it and also adjusting the clutch pedal to no avail. Couldn't comment on the clutch bearing though but I can mention that to him in the morning.

I don't believe the clutch pivot ball has failed, but I would ask how you can tell? (is it quite visible?)
