Is it a full system? Where do you buy it from? Should pass all sound tests unless a certain track has especially low ones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Spotted these two today in Willingham. Didn't get the plate on the black one as it was in traffic. I waved at both, anyone on here? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They can be surprising frugal cars on a long run! Even over 60 miles with cruise set at 65mph I got 39mpg the other week! It's now at 22.8 though! 😜 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well the consumption is still the same so presume my PCV was in fact in full working order. But i have noticed the left side of the filler neck is wet and there is oil on top of the closet coil and all around it, does the filler neck leak or is coming from the plenum? But I'd of thought if it's coming from the plenum that it isn't the cause it's just a kind of knock on effect? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jist gee it a sook or a blaw to test the one way valve. So if no air comes out the otherside it's broken/blocked? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Depends if you are sooking or blawing Blowing on where the hose connects onto. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got a replacement PCV from Zmanalex fitted today. Hopefully it will help! Anyway of testing the old one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Compression tester here, http://www.ebay.co.u...tester&_sacat=0 To test first have a fully charged battery, remove all spark plugs, screw in the compression tester into each cylinder in turn, wedge or hold throttle plate fully open, and turn the engine over at least 6 revolutions, and the same for each cylinder, and note the readings, I will have a look for the factory readings for you. A compression test will not always reveal worn oil control rings, but a leak down test will give a much better view of what the problem is, but due to needing a compressor to conduct a leak down test, I would advise taking to a decent garage for this. PS what oil grade are you using? I'll give that a go when I can, I have bought a second car to keep the Z as a weekend car so it's no huge hassle anymore! 5W-30 straight from Nissan.

No mine is a 2005 DE. No drips and very faint smoke from the exhaust that you can barely see but is losing roughly 1 litre every 800-1000 miles. How would I go about doing those tests? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have searched for a bit and haven't managed to find a definitive answer but apologies if it is out there somewhere. My Z has a oil consumption issue that I believe to be the PCV valve. I had the rocker cover gaskets changed as I thought it might of been those but it wasn't. Is it as simple as removing a pipe, undoing the old valve and screwing in the new valve and plumbing it in? Also, anyone know the best place to get one? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These still going? If so I'll have a pair. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

I'll take one! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Ahh that's not too bad if worst comes to worst. Had a guy out today who couldn't get anything he had on it, its the one nearest the bulkhead under the water pipe, if it was any other bolt we could of removed it there and then Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Yea passenger side. Sorry was thinking of the engine the other way round lol Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Can't get a picture as I'm no where near the car but it's the top right rocker cover bolt of the right hand bank as you are looking at the engine from the front of the car. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

So turns out the broken bolt in my head cannot be removed on the car due to an extreme lack of space so the head has to come off. How much would places charge for this and any recommendations around Peterborough or Cambridge? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Well, went to change the Rocker cover gaskets with a mate and everything was going extremely well until the last bolt on the right hand bank.....snap! The bolt right in the corner has snapped with most of the thread stuck in the head so we put it back together using the gasket sealent in the affected corner so I would limp it back to brothers house 10 miles away. It made it but it was a very Smokey drive, the engine still sounded sweet so fingers crossed no harm done but no waiting to try and get it recovered and into a garage that can remove the stuck thread.

Haven't posted for a little while as nothing much has changed and still just enjoying it too much! Only thing to change is I now have a private plate on the car which has made it look 1000x newer and better! Also got some new plugs and the Rocker cover gasket repair kit to sort out the oil consumption issue which hopefully I should be able to fit next weekend!

Ordered the Rocker cover gasket fix kit from Adrian and it arrived the morning after it was despatched! Can't argue with that! Great communication throughout no matter how busy he was!

God damn this is tempting!!

Excellent thanks! PM sent!

Don't suppose it would possible to hold one back for a week? Can't afford it until payday next week.

I was there was with the Fiat Forum, used to have a Bravo and am still a moderator on there although I had to park my Z in the public parking! Was a great day though*
