andyvvc Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi all, The Zed is mildly modified (Y pipe, plenum, colder sparks, CA intake). Id really like to get it on a rolling road or 'real life' road test with a reputable company to check fuelling/air ratio etc is all ok. I've heard a few stories of modded cars losing power due to Lambda/O2 sensors adjusting things, or beginning to fail after exhaust upgrades. Trouble is, i really dont know where to take the Zed in/around Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire. Anyone around here that might be able to check the ECU, fuelling etc and confirm if anything needs replacing? I dont know of any local RR or performance car specialists...

3FIDDYZ Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 You got any check lights? It has been known for the cars to go into limp mode... Think RS tuning are your way and could help, but if you fancy a rip down south Abbey can help, If they know about the zed then they should be able to confirm.

andyvvc Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Nah no check lights at the moment.. I get the solid "Engine Warning" light every now-and-again in winter, thanks to the exhaust upgrade i think. Had her in at Nissan last year and they confirmed that one of the O2 sensors was throwing out minor codes about the exhaust gases flowing too quickly Off the back of this, I'd like to get someplace other than Nissan to do a full health check on fuelling etc, and let me know if anything is amiss. She drives fine, and feels fine, but if she's been losing power a little over time due to an O2 sensor or something, i guess i wouldn't really have noticed? Abbey might be a bit far to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I had this on mine, same thing and it was in limp mode but with no lights. All sorted now though and full of beans! The only reason that I suggested Abbey is that they have a dyno and they know the Zed and they have a workshop so its a one stop shop. I know CS has access to a workshop but no dyno, and RS have a dyno but am unsure if they have a service workshop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexZ Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Eveing mate, I've used Well Lane Turbo Centre in Batley (Leeds) in the past with my cars.
