-Bradders- Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 On start up from cold it sits at 1200 then bogs down to 800 then drops again when warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Turn in the air con and see what difference it makes to the tickover..! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Didnt make any difference when i had it on earlier. Ive done 84 miles in it so far and going out in it now. In the words of ivan drego 'if it dies it dies' famous last words ha. Wonder how hard it would be to wack a 2jz lump in... Woops. Lets hope its al ok though i'll get some videos of how its running etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Bradders- Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yep doing it now it revs it up a bit lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Done 120 miles now since clutch. Got alot of feedback through the gear stick vibrations etc.. Ride feels ok though. Still pulls if i put my foot down. When i boot it boot it i can only see the oil pressure going to the notch between 60-120 should it go all the way to the end? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should read 60 psi at 60 MPH in 6th Gear. That's the norm, but anything around that is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 60mph in 6th mine sits on the line between 0-60 the 1/4 way mark lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 I was asking that as i saw on the 350z page someone say when they boot it. It goes to 120 lol thought it might be the norm haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Also just popped the hood and noticed the air pipe where it connects to the air box wasnt tight and it was parted at the bottom doh! That might be the cause of the idle issue. Ive done it as tight as poss by hand now but still the same. Maybe do the air preasure reset thing again gettimg good at all this pedal dancing haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes to 120 lol thought it might be the norm haha If it goes to 120 psi when warm they have a problem as well, they need a new pressure switch ... Have you checked your pressure switch easy to change, may be worth it . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 In East London, I'd say pop by DMS Motorsport, they have a customers track 350Z there constantly ( they store it for him when not on track). So they should know their way around a Zed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm going to give you some advice mate...........set a budget right now on how much your spending on this car and dont go a single penny higher. This has got to the potential to drain your wallet dry and make you utterly hate the car. Sometimes you need to cut losses...........get an opinion then make a decision on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Meh ill keep spending its what i work for lol. It seems to be fine. Ive done 192 miles since clutch it pulls ok just think somethings not right in the box still. Oil pressure goes up ok when driving just sits low at idle. Just need a zedspert to take a look and tell me its normal haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndzzz Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I can't help here, but hope you get it sorted soon and start enjoying your zed Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
