Camshaft/Crankshaft Position Sensors on their way out is a common problem to engine taking longer to start once warm.

PM ZMANALEX, May have some good used or even brand new ones.

No harm will be done, Will clear DTC/EML but they will still be stored in the ECU. (Unless cleared by a code reader from ECU)

Could you provide a code? Blinks of the EML are easy to read, 1 Blink = 1 10 Blinks = 0 11 Blinks = A 2 - 9 Blinks = 2-9

Hi JordsF, In regards to CPS, from experience and research the sensors that do go bad, generally go bad around 60,000-80,000miles, You are right for going pure OEM replacement, do not get aftermarket for the CPS (There are 2 in total, 1 each bank, and a 3rd "Crankshaft Sensor" underneath engine near back), Furthermore if/when they do go bad, the others seem to give in aswell. CPS (Camshaft Position Sensor) symptons: Misfire, Longer to start, random engine stalling(scary and dangerous), poor engine running. The engine themselves are bulletproof, its the eletronics that surround it. Leading on from that, I'm guessing the brake down was a series of things, misfiring, then eventually stalling and falling to restart due to CPS overheated as well as being worn through age and use. Other eletronics to look if misifiring are the Coil Packs also, tends to be 50/50 with these as well. Furthermore, ZEUS has made a good comment towards the oil side of things, Welcome and Good Luck.

SOLVED! Thanks for all the help guys, After speaking to Mark @ Abbey regarding the UpRev and if anything could have happened, as soon as I mentioned the code he knew the problem/solution straight away. ECU Base ROM was CD700 with the cruise control DTC, knew base ROM has been flashed to CD800 without CC and all is now well. Thanks to all involved, great service from everyone as expected!

You have a company called MXP Performance who made whats called "MXP SP Quad Tip" Exhaust. Looks like they stopped making it for the 350z and only make it for the 370z and GT-R now. Also a company called "Power-Enterprise" made one couple of years back, but also have stopped. Both of these was around or near abouts the £1000. You could always go to somewhere like "PowerFlowExhaust" stick in your REG, and then in additional requirements ask for quad tips and maybe provide a picture on how you want the styling to be done. For what you want, you'll probably have to have a custom build, which might work out cheaper, and you get what you want.

Whats your mileage buddy? Best to replace both CPS (Camshaft Position Sensor) at the same time if their getting old, if that's what you think is wrong. Do you have any other symptoms generally a knackerd CPS starts causing all sorts of weird problems: Longer to start, random stalling, misfiring. Don't buy aftermarkets please, atleast buy good 2nd-hand used at minimum, you have been warned. Lewis.

Evening guys, I tried to borrow a GoPro but didnt work out just yet, hopefully soon. But for now, heres a 30-second Audio Teaser for you guys. (From my Phone) This is just quick Pops & Bangs at around 2,500RPM-3,000RPM. Enjoy [media] [/media] PS: Got to love that transmission whine.

Exactly this. So many reports on the forum of 'light is on therefore its doom' why the hell would a manufacturer put in a system whereby they kindly let you know there is a problem, just after the problem causes potentially catastrophic damage. The mind boggles. The light that gets shown is not "Low Oil" or "No Oil" light, its "Low Oil Pressure" which in turn means faulty oil pump, or low/no pressure (due to low/no oil pressuring the system)

Lets assume he means 3-4cm, Even so, welding has been recommended, Maybe some aftermarket (bodged up) hangers or cable ties? The standard hangers you can only adjust left and right, not up and down.

My work mate just brought a Mazda 5 for £1700. Worth every penny IMO.

Is this a Scottish thing? Edit: Had to spellcheck Scottish before I got hated.

Give me a couple of days I'll sort something out. Standard Price (At the moment) £402(All in)

Mark said to me that he had UpRev a car with 150k expecting the worst and didnt come far off my results. On the pops and bangs note, I can make my car sound like a F-Type on the overrun or A45 AMG when changing gear now, amazing.

Thanks for the all the info so far, I 'll let you know.

Evening all,Just took the beast out for a drive, 10 minutes into the journey after pulling out of a junction the EML comes on solidly.So from experience, I do some quick testing make sure the car is running OK, which it was.Pull over, turn off, do the EML blink count, and collected the number 1564?Done a quick search online while I was pulled over to find it means the ASCD Steering Switch?Some people say its the cruise control thats faulty, but my car is non-gt, does not have the unit installed.Anyways cleared the code, has no come back on yet, touch wood.Any ideas?PS: the car does have a standard aftermarket stero, which was never been hooked up to the steering wheel since I have owned, so does not work anyway.

I'm not techincal enough to answer that, But I have found a sweet spot, bring the revs up to just past 3K quickly, let go of throttle and quickly apply about 5%-10% of throttle and hold during the overrun. Works best in lower 3 gears as I think after that its going to quick so the sound is travelling away quicker.

Finally got an UpRev re-flash done @ Abbey MotorSport yesterday, and I'm soooo happy. Details of the Car: VQ35DE 2004 (Non-RevUp | Non-GT) 276BHP@Flywheel Oil: Castrol EDGE 5W40 Spark Plugs: NGK PLFR5A-11 Mods (Did not buy from Abbey): Full Japspeed Exhaust - K2 Backbox + Mid-Pipe: £229 - Y-Pipe: £109 - Silenced Decats: £89 5/16 Plenum Spacer Cosworth Panel Filter K&N Oil Filter The Results: Torque (@Hubs): Before: 233.2lbft | After: 242.7lbft | Gain: 9.5 HP (@Hubs): Before: 245.8HP | After: 260.3HP | Gain: 14.5 Not only are the gains very good for the in-expensive mods I've selected, but to know it's still pumping out power is great. And ofcourse, the pops and bangs, it's amazing. Unfortunatly do not have cruise control so opted to have pops and bangs full time. The fact I can control the pops and bangs with clever throttle control from what Mark showed me, I absolutley love it THANK YOU MARK AND ALL @ ABBEY MOTORSPORT TOP NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Thanks to you buddy! Spacers now on! 25mm rear, 20mm front, love it!

Not sure if repost, did do the google search and such: So I was watching Nightmare Neighbours tonight and decided to catchup and watch from episode 1, my eagle eyes spotted a Zed! At 11:11 for a few seconds you can see in the background, commentator before said "Edge of Bournemouth" https://www.my5.tv/the-nightmare-neighbour-next-door/season-5/episode-3

The first bolded bit, this is the most common (if its what I'm thinking it is) first cold start, get between 5-10mph and get a nice 2secs gurrrr as you say ;p Has done this every morning for about the last year. Second bold, did you rev it with it in gear with clutch down or clutch neutral with clutch down? When you "press" you are disengaging the mechanisms. Whenever I go for exhaust noise in a tunnel, I drop to neutral take foot off clutch (coasting) then start revving.

If you can get one like the one from driftworks would be cool, I want the width: 160cm but your one is too high. http://www.driftworks.com/super-wide-carbon-fibre-3d-wing.html

Danz that looks scary buddy, it looks like its sagging. Look at Randys picture, your Y-Pipe and cats should be flush up inside the bottom of the car "cut-out".
