Hi there your problem is that you dont have a fuel pump control module which was fitted to the the early z31 turbo's and takes over the running of the pump after the initial start up sequence. Easiest option is to wire the pump seperately but if you have a smash you'll still be pumping fuel so...

Hi there the two spare pipes are for a carbon cannister which is something to do with emission control and are not used on uk cars. I think its places like Switzerland and Sweden that use them and they can keep them too, theres enough hoses already to worry about. Cheers Mick

Hi mate As you know I did the same conversion and got round the speedo problem by swapping the cog from the sender out of the auto box with the one from the manual. This involves knocking out a retaining pin in the side of the unit, now i come to think of it I may have changed the whole...

Hi My car did a similar thing recently and after an evening of checking the obvious i checked under the rubber boot of each injector lead and found a wire had broken inside one of them. Sometimes the car would have trouble idling and at full throttle it would splutter quite badly. Once the...

:) :) Finally she runs! and she runs very well. Unfortunately the engine hasnt been started for years and has undergone a partial rebuild, so I'm going to run it in for a bit. Its frustrating but better than risking all the hard work and I want to make the next run at Santa Pod. Big clean up...

Cheers Mike very much appreciated.

Hi Some of you will know that I've put an 84 turbo engine into my 86 car and that I'm having wiring difficulties. Much of the information I have come to rely on comes from the manual available from http://carfiche.com/manuals/ but the very page I need has a large section missing. It is page 9...

Hi Niell Would be good to see you, try not to look shocked if you do come cause I think I've aged 20 years since deciding I needed turbo power. In the long dark hours I've opted to go for a kind of Vulcan Loom Meld and think I'm getting somewhere, but Dr Spock I'm not. I feel more like Marty...

Cheers guys I had a horrible feeling it was to do with that little box. I have two wiring diagrams in front of me (Nissan's own), one of the 1984 model and one of the 1986 model and can see the differences, wiring is not one of my strong points but I want the car to run as it should do. If you...

Hi Mat Havn't put a stop watch on it but would say it does run for the same time. The four codes it flashes are apparently standard and cancel themselves (like the idle switch fault which goes after pressing the throttle) .The one that I'm not so sure on is the speed sensor, apparently on the...

Hello, been a while but the project is still underway. I've had a few hurdles to overcome and now that its almost done the DAMNED:mad: thing will only run for 30 seconds before the computer turns off the fuel pump. I had it running a few weeks back but the turbo made a horrible cracking noise...

Hi Russ Believe the ecu and its wiring are different on the turbo, Im not certain but I have the parts so in they go. Had the Senator for a year now and love it, its an auto but the gearbox is excellent and very responsive. Wouldnt part with it unless I got one of those 150 mph 24 valve jobbies...

Almost there now and I've finally finished the work underneath which is a big relief, I'm sick of bits dropping in my eye and having the same arm room as you do one of thse cheap charter flights. My car already had a turbo gearbox fitted, so I ignored my own advice and just swapped the engine...

Fantastic looking machine, are those headlamp infills available as a kit??

Just managed to suss out the camera ( user error ) and uploaded some pics, more tomorrow. I wouldnt say its been particularly difficult so far, just time consuming, I'm also trying to figure out a better route for the air intake and a location for an intercooler before too many of the...
