After one or two for next years track season but not many places seem to sell them. I recall a while back we had a discount for somewhere that sold these 20% off i think but the one in the discounts forum doesn't work any longer. Does anyone know if we still get a discount from where we did before and if so what are the details or alternatively a supplier cheaper than Demon Tweeks at £48.50 delivered? I've looked on all the usual sources and DT seem to be cheapest.....which in itself is odd lol Thank you Steve

Posted it to the guides section just now folks: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=56966 Any questions give me a shout

Here you go folks. Please bear in mind all the precautions you should take when working with petrol. We do not want any accidents I would suggest you Start with just cleaning the pump sender and seeing if it fixes your issues, this is the primary one. Also in the service manual it tells you the resistance specs of the sender for testing. Good Luck!!! Fixing the FuelGauge.pdf

I'll see if I can get it done today mate whilst the diff fluid is draining

Clean the hinge? What hinge? Sorry lost me. There are two senders one behind the passenger seat under the false floor in the glove box, stand alone unit and one under the sub attached to the fuel pump. The pump one is a pita due to limited working space but basically you have to remove both units and clean the variable resistor contacts I used contact cleaner and those ear cleaner things cotton wool on a stick Have to be careful not to get petrol on the big O rings as they change shape if you do, I buggared one up so need to get a new one. I've only had it 'fixed' two days so still making sure it is fixed but all seems good at the moment. Passenger side sender gave readings of 0 - 50 when resistance was checked with a multimeter. Driver side one ran from 0-32 then jumped to 175 but then changed frequently between 70-200 without Changing position of float every second or so, after cleaning this seemed to fix the random readings and also ran 0-50. Why there are two senders, one in each half of the tank I have no idea..... A guide will follow.

Awesome pics!

Well I broke in to the tank today and I think I've fixed the problem, I've got some pics so once I Confirm the gauge issue is fixed I'll do a guide so everyone can fix theirs :0) Merry Christmas

Just bought the tapatalk app well worth the £2 outlay! Makes the forum so much more convenient than zooming in and out all the time as well as the reduced data usage. Last month I used all my data up in 2 weeks lol!

Well I work in the turbo industry for Cummins / Holset as a Product Engineer and can tell you that in some applications the turbocharger shaft can transmit upto 25% of the engine power so it's gonna be similar power requirements on a supercharger, I.e a load of batteries or a very large Li-ion one.

Some people these days make me laugh, they are Air Jordan trainers....I.e. basketball trainers they are a functional sports trainer not a look at my $180 shoe! Warranted a good piece of the price comes from the Jordan branding but from past experience my Air Jordan's were awesome for playing basketball in but I wouldn't wear them anywhere else except on the court bloody massive, heavy and useless day to day. Running And1's at the moment due to the ridiculous price of the Air Jordan's when I bought my new pair for this season I'm well impressed by them

I bought some N1 replica spats from the prestige place, Positives - fibreglass was very thick and the parts felt solid. Negatives - fit was poor, the N1 spats were the trial part before I bought anything else more expensive, they weren't both the same shape, I had to heat one up and reshape to make it the same match the other. I had to cut off the back edge and reprofile both with a grinder so they matched the profile of the bumper. I personally wouldn't buy anything else from them. I bought my bumpers and skirts from Shine Auto in the end through P15ULT on here not fitted them yet so can't comment on how good they fit yet.

That is awesome!!! My lord that whip

Nice one Steve, stoked to ride etc etc.... One of these days! I'll settle for a first Alps trip for 2012 though. Yeah mate always stoked to ride, the terrain was pretty sweet eh. I need to get my bike fixed and get back into biking. Must get it sorted this year the Stab has just been sat in the bedroom since I got home in 2007.....

Gotta agree, got what he deserved not because of the clerical error but for the fact he acted like an arsehole. If this had happened to me when the conductor asked to see my ticket I would have politely explained what had happened and asked how could it be resolved so the train wouldn't be held up, not starting swearing and acting like a cocky little @*!# who needs a lesson in discipline!

Thanks Alex, Thought there must be a way where you didn't disturb the block plugs! Flame proof and water proof gloves at the ready then! Lol

I'm planning on doing my P3 service tomorrow, got all my bits so been reading up on the coolant change procedure. In the service manual it talks about removing a threaded plug from the engine block to fully drain the system. Is this necessary? Or is there an alternative method to draining all the coolant out? Don't like removing things that can start leaking again... It also mentions this core plug needs resealing when refitted. If i have to remove this plus is loctite 648 ok for resealing this plug? Thank you Steve

Love it!!!! So glad I went for the Amuse kit!

Only just found this thread about Mountain Biking. I've not done any in a while as my bike needs fixing and sadly not got many pics but here are a few from my days when I lived in Whistler, Canada Apologies for the quality it was a very wet and rainy day with low light and a rubbish camera

I have personally never bothered with trackday cover because the excess is usally £3000-£5000 pound. Therefore you need a pretty big shunt to do that much damage. I am only talking about the one day cover policies at £70 - £100 though. I have no experience of REIS but I'm definitely going to give them a call next year when my current insurance policy expires. I never knew you could get road cover that included track day insurance!!

Hi Folks, Me and a mate bought two sets of used racing slicks, one for my Zed and one for his MR2 Turbo. But the set he bought don't fit under the arches so I'm offering them up for sale on his behalf. The tyres are at my house and I'll be shipping them out if anyone wants them. The tyres have been used in the Ginetta series but plenty of life left in them as you can see from the tread depth markers. Looking for what was paid for these £200. These will fit on standard 350z rims and believe it or not you can get 4 wheels and tyres in a zed for when you got to a trackday. Thanks Steve

Will do mate. It's gonna probably be next week unless I get delayed doing the P3

Well further update the fuel computer showed - - - - yesterday at 235 miles and the gauge was right below the red line with the orange light beaming at me. So I drove around and got it to 280 miles before I started to think I should probably fill it up, I didn't want to risk running out and causing a traffic jam. I had considered running it right down to empty and keep 5 litres in the boot to get me to a garage but figured this would dredge all the sludge into the fueld system so decided against that. I brimmed it when I filled up this morning so it was right to the top above the valve in the filler neck and the fuel gauge only went up to 3/4 full, useless. Then I drove the further 1.5 miles to work and it climbed to halfway between 3/4 and Full. I'm planning to get inside the tank over xmas and have a play with the multimeter to find what signal is coming of the level sensor. However, I have now been told there are two fuel level sensors on the Zed one behind the passenger seat built onto the pump and one behind the drivers seat - not sure if this is true but I will feedback my investiagtion results when sorted.

Found this on the G35 forum, the fix probably won't be exactly the same but similar. I may have to do some investigating.... http://g35driver.com/forums/g-spot/2439 ... ost4951116 Will let you know how I get on if and when I do this and post some pics, the same tank of petrol as I mentioned previously now states 205 miles done, 31 to go and the needle is now sitting right on the bottom with the fuel light on. Stupid thing

Cheers Alex and freebird
