Not the Roadster...........

This is far to high if you have a new fully charged battery. As I advised previously, Get Your Charging Rate Checked to avoid further unnecessory expence.

I'm open Stan.

If you want to stop the washer pump from working then simply unplug the wiring block connector at the pump which is located at the headlamp washer water container behind the front bumper.

Alex, the HKS system that has been mentioned is the twin turbo set up and is the best manufactured stuff on the market and that is what I am running at the moment mate. The HKS supercharger kit is the Rotrex and I had that on a previous Z and it worked well with considerable more torque than the ATI Procharger C2 set up that I had on another Z. You will not have temperature issues with the supercharger but you will have with a big power T T set up. (Serious heat soak) Air to air is the way to go IMHO. Superchargers will not produce the boost to give power over 400. If you go supercharger now and find that you want more power then you will have to go T T at a later date with internals etc etc etc etc etc etc. On both types of install proper mapping is key. Cheers, Alex.

I'd pick up APS though. It's by far the most complete and best quality kit out atm. Complete.....Possibly Best Quality Kit.....

Model dependant there is generally no fan switch fitted to the radiator. Your problem will probably be electrical. There are 3 coolant fan relays, have you checked them ? Also, check for continuity, short to ground and short to power. If you do not have a meter or lacking in know how then simply unplug the 4 harness connectors at and around the fan area and make good connections, especially the earth. And also run a separate power and earth to the fans to check fan operation but it is highly unlikely that you will have a fan failure. Alex.

Only maybe worth considering doing if engine out, otherwise very fiddly job which would take you the best part of a day and 10 skinned knuckles later. As stated previoously, header replacement on its own will give you no noticable gains, trust me If still not convinced, just get a dyno run before and after.

6 Further sets arrived today 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Thank you Nissan. Two of these are pre paid orders so that leaves 4 sets available at the moment. If you are quick you could still have them delivered and on your car for the Christmas holidays. Same Price £240.00 delivered.

The Headers are expensive and the shipping is just stupid money and for what ???? You will definately not get any obvious power gains, so why waste your money !!!!

Also remember that the after replacing the ECU you will have to: (1): Perform initialization of NATS system and registration of all NATS ignition key IDs. (2): Perform Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning. (3): Perform Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning. (4): Perform Idle Air Volume Learning: All the above are very straight forward and quite simple to administer. Alex.

Looks like you may be overcharging mate. Overcharging causes excess heat at the battery resulting in battery failure. Get your charging rate checked to be on the safe side. Nissan should have done this at the same time as battery testing and subsequent battery replacement. Alex.

Hi Dan and thanks for the pm. Okay, I am asumming that your Roadster is U.K and not JDM. If your car was a coupe then you would have few fitment issues but the U.K. Roadster undercarriage is so different from the US and JDM so there are fitment issues with the Roadster. I do not know if all chassis bracing manufacturers follow the same template but my experiences are with the fitment of USA GT Spec braces and a U.K Roadster. Door Hinge Braces.....They require substantial modification to the front fixing points and the removal of the rear vertical panel which is fitted to the inside of the wing. The hardware supplied does not work so alternative bolts, washers, spacers are required. Front Tie Bar......No fitment issues, but beware there are different types depending on the size of your sump pan. 4 point mid brace.......Again fitment issues as the U.K Roadster already has a bracing plate fitted which you can not remove so you have to fit the mid brace over the factory brace, again different hardware required. Rear Lateral Brace......From memory no major fitment issues. Rear Lower Tie......More fitment issues especially if you have the rear diff. with the solid "plug" on the bottom. Also if you are running excessive neg camber then you will have to elongate the fixing slots on the brace. I am running 600 bhp on my Roadster so I really do feel the benefit of the bracing but I doubt very much in deed if any benefits would be obvious on a stock Z. Suspension and brakes really should be your first upgrades, even a set of Eibach springs would be beneficial and some Ferodo DS 2500 into your Brembos would work. Hope the above helps. Cheers, Alex.

Very easy to change mate. 1 small bolt on each and a wiring connector to unplug. Alex.

Unless you have to adjust the air gap.

Had a think about this and you should really follow the procedure for checking out the CPS before condemning them. The procedures are fairly straighforward to determine if they are faulty. The CPS works as follows: The camshaft position sensor senses the retraction with intake valve camshaft to identify a particular cylinder. The camshaft position sensor senses the piston position. When the crankshaft position sensor system becomes inoperative, the camshaft position sensor provides various controls of engine parts instead, utilizing timing of cylinder identification signals. The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC. When engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to change. The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change. Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor changes. Cheers, Alex

Chains definately will not stretch....END OF..... If you require cam position sensors, then I have numerous spare ones. Let me know. Cheers, Alex.

No, there are differences + you have the NATS issue.

They are different. Also any ECU's from the correct model year would have to be checked for NATS compatibility and programmed to your key etc.

This will be my last post on this thread. The advice that you are getting from this forum is all based upon members genuinely trying to help you solve your problem and save you big money, comments and advice should be accepted in the same spirit in which they are given and all the advice that I have personally provided is based upon personal 1st hand experience. Perhaps at the end of the day your ECU is dead and perhaps you will never know why and perhaps it may fail again in 6 months time due to an underlying issue or perhaps the new ECU will not fix the problem and it may be traced to a two penny fuse, and perhaps you may end up paying huge sums of money for parts that were not required and perhaps you will never know any different. I have just checked with Nissan U.K through a contact and I have been reliably informed that Nissan U.K have never sold a new ECU or supplied one under warranty in the past 3 years. Surely that tells you something. My cynicism is based upon lifes experiences. However, I wish you good luck and that you are reunited with your Zed in the not to distant future. Alex.

I can not say anymore than what I and others have said in previous posts except.............. Get A Profesional 2nd Diagnoses................

Moorlands are okay. By the way the white Zed is sold just looked, the one i was looking at is sold as well. gone in a flash. i'm finding it so hard to get hold of one. Just goes to show that at the right price anything will sell, even in this market. OK, Alex - who got my white Zed then? Trust me, you really do not want to know, and they got a further discount as well Shy boys don't get any sweeties you know If your not fast you are last Oh! and it was not me I'm far too busy earning the money to pay for the toys to go mooching round Basingstoke. Go on, spill! Be patient, I am sure that they will be along in there own time. Anyway, what is wrong with Basingstoke Lots of hotties down there

A tenner for the Hush Puppies:lol:
