  1. Hi guys, 

     

    Hope all is well, 2005 de - right so I changed one of my valve covers a while ago, putting everything back together didn't go as well as hoped, I took it to the garage and after a couple of gasket changes there was still a misfire, the checked my injectors and replaced some seals, they noticed and showed me pictures of hairline cracks in 4 of the injectors, so I ordered some second hand and had them fitted. 

     

    Now - code p0304 sometimes and p0300 most of the time and flashing eml light. I have switched coils packs and spark plugs and the p0304 remains (in the same way) . Today whilst taking it for a run to see if the problem persists when warm I noticed in the torque Pro app that my 02 sensor on Bank 2,sensor 2 is irratic and not in line with its brother on Bank 1. Could this be an 02 sensor? Or is the sensor reacting to the misfire? And any other tips or points? 

    Thanks

  2. Evening guys and gals,

     

    So for an expansion to my current work (self employed) Ive been getting into drone piloting and operating - doing it all proper and should be fully licensed by may (hopefully) but doesnt mean I cannot fly now just not commercially, I was thinking it would be great to get some footage/pics of some zed's in action, track would be great but a general meet in an area that it is drones are permitted in (Stupidly big fines if your break the rules) would anyone be interested - Of course I will share all photo's and video's

  3. welcome mate, I was looking this time last year and its been a pleasure - I still smile when shes freshly polished and love the head turning caused by, Ill second what was said about the clutch - mine went around 100k and cost me just shy of a grand, I have the DE model also - though not the most powerful etc if monies on your mind it is £200 a year less to tax which is a bonus. They can be a bit heavy on oil consumption - It seems luck of the draw for if yours is or not.

    either way enjoy.

  4. Afternoon guys and girls,

     

    So a couple weeks ago I got a warning light, opened up torque pro and was informed it was cylinder 4 miss fire this happened a couple times but very intermittent - Fast forward and i bought a new coil pack - replaced and seemed fine for a few miles, Now it seems allot less intermittent and mainly running on 5 - My thought is potentially a bad spark plug, its coming upto a service and is on 103,000 so is about time for the next set - Just wondering if anyone had any other thoughts/idea/similar problems?

    cheers

    (Current codes is P0300 + P0304)

  5. welcome! and as everyone has said - The grin doesnt seem to go! the only time it has for me was when my clutch went! Another option for sound is doing a simple airfilter change to a cone type, gives you a bit more of a roar when you hit higher revs but normal when idle

  6. ah gotcha, Just to double check something - Whats happening is as I put my foot down (Not every time just sporadical) the revs start to go up as normal then drop down a bit, then continue as normal, this is my clutch yeah?

    Cheers

  7. Hi chaps and chapesses,

     

     

    So I noticed 5 weeks ago or so the dreaded burning clutch smell, Then it disappeared and it was quickly forgotten, However this week I noticed the clutch slip, initially a small amount however its got worse, I am running standard with the exception of an induction kit, I have no plans to turbo or supercharge or anything more then possibly a new exhaust, So I think keeping OEM is fine, Enless you 350z wizards know of any other reason? the car just hit 100k and I believe to be OEM so its done pretty well.

     

    Where is the best place (not necessarily cheapest but if it is then thats a bonus) to get it done and/or acquire the part? I am based in west london but can travel a bit if worth while?

    many thanks in advance

     

    Cheers

  8. welcome mate, I got my Zed in december and its been smiles since :D Couple things I kept in mind when looking for mine - I was insistant on having the GT pack - I like to use cruise control on dull journeys (and to stop myself accidentally speeding in average speed traps) and I like the look of built in sat nav, The zeds nav is cack, but especially once the head unit was changed the bose system is remarkably better then the stock (Im a sound engineer by trade and after some eq'ing im actually very happy with stereo sound when im not enjoying the engine noise) & finally pre 06 plate tax is £200 a year less. The links put up above are very good and as with any car dont rush into buying the first you see because it makes you smile :D

     

    enjoy

  10. Hi there guys and girls,

     

    Soooo I know this is not a new subject, and it has been done before however after much forum and google searching I can't find the answer im after - So here we are!

     

    My plan was to remove the nissan birdseye screen and replace it with a nexus 7 (v2 - 2013 - current) - Keeping the nexus behind the plastic surround so the screen lines up perfectly and looks nearly OEM (From what I have seen most have done it in front of plastic). I was kind of hoping it would be a matter of centre cubby unit out, slot in the nexus and re assemble with sleep cycle being doing from the app automagic premium when the ignition is turned on/off. The tablet will be used for torque pro, spotify & waze - with sound going down the usb into my pioneer HU - this will allow for steering wheel controls to still work and power.

     

    However Now I have removed the centre cubby the tablet is too wide to fit without some cutting of the mech for the cover. I can live with this however i've got little experience cutting plastic neatly. So in a don't ask don't get kind of way - Does anyone have any ideas/know of any pre moulded plastic surrounds i can buy to make this possible, If people want it i'm more then happy to do a step by step guide if required.

     

    many thanks
