Should be fine since your having all four done. Just make sure whoever does it knows it's a two stage finish.

Perhaps you'll look after em this time

I've never played it at all. Expected delivery on Friday.

i genuinely get a bit overwhelmed when there's more than one good new game for me to play. I'm loving the Halo Collection and Forza 2 on Xbox but now I'm also gonna have to get GTA V on PS4, as I never played the game before. Too much game, too little time!

Nah, I'd be absolutely astounded if that caused the issue at all. I mean, in theory the cats might not have warmed up and you could have made the engine run a bit rich at one point by accelerating too much too soon, but it's a very unlikely set of conditions and I've personally never heard of that happening on an NA car. Given they're smaller cats and heat up quicker than OEM, I'm even more prone to discard that idea. I'd leave them in and just fit the spacers, if you have further problems after that then possibly look at removing them but I don't see that happening. Last thing we want to do is make your 370ZN even quieter again! Cheeky git Thanks for the advice. I'll keep an eye on things and see how it goes. I'm just relieved it's nothing serious and that I didn't have to give the local stealership £100+ to diagnose it. Now I can justify splashing out on GTA-V!

Thanks - I've deleted the code and will keep an eye on it to see if it returns. I will definitely look into a longer term solution though. I couldn't be doing with it keep coming on and clearing it - shouldn't have to do that in a nearly new car. Do you think the over enthusiastic acceleration when not fully warmed up could have tripped it?

Mark - thanks - Uprev isn't cheap but I might just do it if I could be absolutely certain it would solve the problem once and for all - will it do that? Have you upreved any Nismos yet - good gains? Cheers Simon

OK - the results are in! Thought you folks might be interested in this update and I'd be grateful for some advice, as usual First off, I'm very glad I had a go at DIY diagnosis. Nissan were going to charge me £114 for an hour of diagnosis. I would have lost that money because it's almost certainly not a warranty issue. It's cost me less than a tenner to find out that it is indeed a HFC related issue. Below is a snap of the error code which seems to be a fairly common one when test pipes or HFCs are fitted. I'm actually relieved it's nothing more serious! I'm not suggesting that what I've done is comparable to proper diagnostics, but the car was driving perfectly and not showing any other errors when I did the diagnosis. For anyone who needs this information in future, I've posted some links below to the free app and the dongle I used. It took less than a minute to plug the dongle in, start the car, pair the dongle with the app, get a diagnosis and clear the code. I know the code might return, but at least I know what the problem is now. My questions to you clever folks....... 1) The Cobra HFCS have only been on the car for about 4000 miles. I can't remember if the warning came on as soon as I started the car on Saturday, but I do remember that on one bit of the journey when the engine was probably still quite cold I accelerated harder that I should have done (I know that's a bad idea - I just overdid it a bit because it sounds so good - Could that have caused the warning to trigger? 2) Am I right in thinking that if this particular warning code comes back I won't do the car any damage by still driving it? 3) Am I right that there are three possible solutions if the code does keep returning? -Spacers for the 02 sensors (do these create any problems at MOT time) -Uprev -Revert to stock cats? Cheers and here's a snap of the error code and the links.

Looking very good.

"He turned round to me and said....." (As though people are always facing the other way to begin with.)

Cheers - hopefully the code reader dongle and app will give me an idea. If I do have to take it to the dealer it's only a very short drive.

+1 Ha Ha - 'I'm gonna give this task 111.7%'.

I am about to tell you about something. I start my boring anecdote with...... 'What it is.....'

Nice one mate - I'll see what the code says and take it from there.

OK bit of an update - ordered a cheapo wifi dongle that plugs into the port in the car and downloaded a free diagnostic app for my Ipad. Might not work but it was less than a tenner and got quite good reviews. I'm going to see if I can find out what the problem is myself before I have to take it to Nissan. If its the HFCs, there's no point in me paying them £100 quid to diagnose that and then tell me to bog off because it's not a warranty issue. I might as well see if I can check the code myself and then look into sorting out the problem if its the HFCs. If necessary I'll revert to the stock cats. If it throws a different code I'll take it to Nissan and hopefully it will be fixed under warranty with no charge for the diagnostics.......we'll see....

Yep the PS4 is crying out for a decent driving game Get an Xbone SMD if you like driving games - Forza Horizon 2 is really really good. I like my PS4 but to be honest I've not massively enjoyed anything on it so far - will probably hang on to it and may well get GTAV on that system for the best visuals, but I'm glad I've got both systems now - no need to miss out on exclusives. And since the Halo games are some of my all time favourites games I think the Xbox is gonna be getting a lot of use.

Well decided to get an Xbone to go with my PS4. Got be honest and say I've had more fun with Forza Horizon 2 this afternoon than anything on the PS4 so far. And I not even touched the Halo collection yet....

My HFC's eventually caused the same light to come on periodically on my last 70, it's a simple reset but the chances are it'll happen again. Thanks guys - will see what they say about it when I go to the garage next week. GMan - did you get the 'check engine' message' or just the solid orange picture of the engine? I've got the latter. I'll be pretty fed up if it's the cats.

Cheers GM. Hopefully anything will be covered by warranty. I was wondering if having high flow cats would be causing an issue but they've only be on the car for about 4000 miles so it seems unlikely.

Thanks mate - no idea what the problem is but decided to play it safe and booked in at my usual service outfit next Friday. I'll post up the results.

Cheers Will - they look good.

Went to the park for a run today and noticed the orange engine light was on solid - apparently its the malfunction warning light. Any ideas what might be causing this - car only has 6000 miles on it? I've booked in for diagnostics next week. Oh and some massive tanker has stolen my Z valve caps. Be off to buy some locking ones later.

Told you to expect some attention What do you think of the exhaust?

Don't forget that he also owns an old man car

Hmmm that is nice....
