I thought there were 1 between engine and cat, and one in the cat?

Post cat

By post cat do you mean before the cat? (Between cat and engine)

Gunna order one tonight

Cheers

Iv got a ticky damper, the awkward one behind the plenum, I was just wondering if anyone had a little guide or just some tips when changing?? I'm sure I'll work it out but thought I'd ask before I run into any issues.

I tried researching and could only find vids and guides for the easy damper to the side of the engine (drivers side)

Cheers guys

PAID 2 tickets, 1 show pass, track time (12:40) 1 night in the Northampton Hilton hotel... sorted

Just realised you said you swapped your plastic undertray for a metal one.....

Do you happen to still have the plastic one?

And possibly want rid of the damn thing out of your shead/garage/attic?

Wellllll......

I know someone who would take it off your hands if you want rid that is

The car looks really good mate, I love the aggressive look of the steering wheel, im thinking of getting one like that, also I don't think I've seen a zed with red seats yet, suits it well red and black interior.

Will you be going to Silverstone japfest this year?

Thanks for replying mate,

Cat sensor, or one before cat?

Iv had this code now for about 2months thinking it was a funky faulty cat or o2 sensor so no damage would be done that's why I left it, im about to try and fix it.

P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1 or 2 I can't remember which

I did some research and tthe rough idea I got was people that had the same code changed the o2 sensor or cat and that cleared it,

I looked further into it and people said most of the time it was the o2 sensor

I do have a k1 exhaust on my car, and I'm not too sure if the o2 sensor spacers are fitted, but i bought the car with exhaust already on and the code diddnt show up until about 2months/1500 miles after I bought it

When I clear the code it only comes back on when I'm cruising around 2k rpm for longer than 5 mins, say on a duel carriageway or motorway,

this is nissans technical notes

Iv been researching again today and American forums have been saying things like pre cat engine failure, where little bits from the dud cat somehow make it back up into the engine.

Now I'm worried.

My car is an 04 DE and has got 90k miles with FSH and doesn't burn any oil really, iv done 4k miles in 4months and only topped it up a quarter liter so far

one of the fuel dampers is ticking away Nicely if that might make a difference I don't know, but iv just ordered 1 off Jon today so will be fitting that when I get it

Do you have any ideas whether its a dud cat? Or sensor? So I'm only buying one

have any of you had this before?

Is there a way to check and make sure the o2 sensor or cat is faulty before buying replacements?

Thanks for any help or advice you have, I'd rather speak to you all than a mechanic or nissan lol

What hotels are people staying in? I'm going to book tickets and hotel tonight.

Are any of you going down to japfest this year? we could get a convoy together. Post your thoughts if anyones up for it

...

Also Northwest meet sometime soon.... maybe? What do you thinks?

What's the spoiler called on this car? Contemplating getting this one or the duck tail one

Just out of interest, when I'm parked up at the club stand on the Sunday, can i leave anytime I like or will I be blocked in? Not saying I'm leaving but just in case.

Also is there a bit of an event on at silverstone on the Saturday?

I'm getting two club show passes (1 for me 1 for gf)

I only need to get 1 vehicle pass as were both in my car is that right?

Also with track time does anyone know how many laps you get for 1 timeslot?

Cheers

Enjoy....

Cant wait for this one to come out, although theres somthing just not quite right in this video and I can't put my finger on it

😆

Some serious special effects though. It Even features a 350z nismo.

^^^^^^^^

SORRY wrong video guys.

When I start it and whilst I'm driving its jumps straight to 14 v on the metre, so i thought the alternator was ok

So I could leave it for months, or years, and there would be no problem? You said the ticking came back on the new ones

Iv just noticed the same on mine this morning, did you sort it? Or find any info on it mate?

Cheers

If I leave it for a full 24 hours before starting again, the voltmetre reads 2 or 3 mm under 12 v, and struggles a bit to turnover but just starts on the 4th turnover. This is what the old battery did when the first cold came. I then changed the battery and everything was fine for the last 3 to 4 weeks, no problem at all even on really cold morning's. It first happened again on boxing day, I had left it from about 6 pm mad Friday, and tried starting it boxing day at 2 pmish, when I came to the car weed had 2 cold days and nights so it was proper frozen up, so after scraping frost and ice for 30 mins and watering the rubber seals for the window to move before opening the door ... it wouldnt bloody start which I thought were strange because its brand new

so i got a spare battery to jump off and under the bonnet had big icicles hanging off the underside of the bonnet, I'd never seen this before.

today was the same before I turned it off last night, I turned off the CD player and the interior light so it wouldn't come on when I try to start next time,last night and this morning was much warmer, no ice or frost, and again just started on the 4th slow turnover.

what's the crack? Lol I don't mind buying another battery (I lost the receipt for refund) if you all think it is just a dud battery that's died within a month,

Sorry for essays, I wish there was a phone/helpline to the forum

Nice to see he's enjoying the exhaust at the end of the vid lol

The first frost we had in 2016 killed the battery on my new 350 it wouldn't hold its charge, within 12 hours of turning her off she'd be at like 11 volts. so I asked on here and got a new yuassa battery which people said were fine, its been working fine all through December through the odd freezing nights and morning's, I came to my car yesterday after a freezing night and chilly day, the car hadent been started for two days now and the volts were near 10, so i jumped started it, drove it, not a problem, the battery charged so it's not the alternator

Has the battery really gone dud after a month from brand new?

The thing is I live a hill, i havent done it yet because I wasn't sure, but if in the morning the battery is dead again can i roll down the hill and release the clutch in 1st or 2nd to start her?? I have done this many times in my x reg corsa I used to have, even done in reverse before lol

What's your thoughts chaps?

Cheers
