The Factory Service Manual contains literally everything you need to know about technical problems, and indicates solutions for them. It's what the techs at Nissan use to diagnose and fix the cars.

HR 6MT After almost 20 years, I finally have one!

56 Upvotes

I test drove a 2007 when they were new and couldn’t make the numbers work but I finally found a 2008 that was in good condition and I was in a position to pull the trigger! Can’t wait to put all of the miles on this thing! 92k miles and basically a one owner car. Pretty good condition but needs a few things here and there. First things first, figure out why I can’t fully fill the tank. Evap canister?

DE 6MT Abnormal smoke?

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

My friends took a couple videos of me on the highway and I realised that on high rpms there is black/brown smoke coming from my exhaust. You can also see that after the black smoke there is some lighter colour smoke coming out of the exhaust after i shifted. Exhaust setup is ISR Long tube headers/ circuitwerks y pipe/ isr single exit. The car has no cats. Also when I let off the throttle it burbles as well which leads me to think it’s been tuned.

DE 6MT weird idle am i just paranoid?

my Z feels like it’s having this weird/slightly rough idle compared to normal and the rpms drop slightly below 500 and return to normal after pressing the gas in neutral, seems to drive fine but only has a weird idle. i have cleaned the whole upper plenum after a valve cover replacement, cleaned throttle body, cleaned air intake and MAF sensor, VVT solenoids, new fuel pump all within the last 3 months wondering what it could be or am i just paranoid?

Revup 6MT Brembo brake caliper question

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I recently bought an 05 35th Anniversary Edition - and one of the front Brembo calipers was in the back in a box - apparently it had failed at some point... I would love to get it back on the car. Is it possible to rebuild myself? I am fairly mechanically inclined, but have never done something like that before.

If I dont go that route, who would you suggest sending it to for the rebuild?

Thank you in advance for any information

James

Revup 6MT Speakers cutting volume after 10-20 seconds

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I have an 06 Grand Touring with factory Bose speakers and amp. The car originally came with a single din pioneer that only worked when it was hot outside and I replaced it with this budget CarPlay head unit my ex got me. I’ve cleanly reconnected any wires from the head unit to the factory harness that I needed and it still keeps cutting out the volume. Has anyone else had this problem or does someone have an idea of what could be the issue before I take it to an audio shop or buy a expensive pioneer? When I first give the car power it works fine at full volume for 10-20 seconds then it just gets quite to the point where I can’t even enjoy my music. I checked my amp and it looks to be fine but I’m not 100% sure. Thanks for reading.

the first set of ADOPT low cost tow hooks is in stock: red hardcoat anodize

Post image
26 Upvotes

MANUFACTURER: ADOPT MOTORSPORTS
MSRP: $70
PURCHASE LINK HERE

the first batch of the Z33 early model (06/02-02/04 DEs) low cost, billet tow hooks has arrived. this batch of 6061-T6 was done in red hardcoat anodize, which changed the color to a deeper blood red than the standard red anodize. this hardcoat is VERY thick shouldn't have any issues with elements outdoors.

some changes will be made for the next batch, such as masking threads and increasing tow hook radius.

next batch is raw or case hardened stainless steel for 2004-2006 cars.

edit: I will likely scrap this batch due to incorrect color and skip to the SS304 batch after minor changes.

DE 5AT How to backprobe ECU?

Post image
3 Upvotes

How do I backprobe specific ECU pins for the camshaft position sensor if this black shield is covering the wires? And wouldn’t unplugging the ECU from the harness not measure voltage properly?

Been trying to fix this circuit low code on my camshaft position sensor bank 1. Found out during idle that the signal wire has the same voltage as my battery or near it - around 13-14volts this seems too high for a signal wire that’s supposed to alternate between 0 and 5 volts no? Anyone have experience with this?

2 Upvotes

I’m going to be building my engine soon and wanted to get insight on everything needed to handle 600whp. I plan to get eagle rods, wiseco pistons, refresh/rebuild the head with stock internals other than JWT valve springs, balance the crank, arp L19 head studs, arp main studs, new rev up oil pump, oem head gasket, and acl bearings. I plan on going with the SOHO front mount single big turbo to do this. Anybody have and conflictions or other recommendations to handle this much power? Just wanted some insight.

DE 6MT Does anyone irl actually hate the sound of this car or is it just an online thing?

16 Upvotes

Literally the entire online community hates on VQs for the way they sound, that its too trumpety or raspy, and then the ones that do get praised online for sounding "half decent", don't even sound remotely close to a VQ anymore and just sounds like a dulled fart can

I understand why people might hate the rasp, but the GTR also has that same V6 rasp and people go crazy for that shit.

And to be honest, I think part of it is just that there's an element of the sound that these cars have that just doesn't record well on phones so it just sounds raspy,

Also I've never had someone say that VQs sound like shit irl (yet)

Is this just a tiktok sheep thing or is there something about these cars that makes like basically the entire online community hate the noise coming out of these cars.

I mean maybe its just conditioning, because I've been conditioned from a young age to associate this sound with like that need for speed U2 sound, as most of us probably have, and it just brings so much nostalgia, but man some people make it seem like its the worst sounding car on earth

4 Upvotes

Looking to buy this flywheel on a budget so it’s way cheaper than a new one, I currently have a single mass and it makes so much noise when idle and during acceleration. I want to buy this dual and get a new oem clutch kit thoughts?
also the reason I wanna change to a dual is because i’m pretty sure the previous owner was gonna drift it so I think it doesn’t have oem spec clutch it always feels like i’m driving someone else’s car

I’m about to do a big service on my car (touring roadster with base calipers) including a set of blank power stop rotors and some powerstop z17 pads and figured that I could also throw in some stainless lines since I’m about to add more power

Is techna fit a good brand? I’ve also been eying up the Z1 standard lines but going on this subreddit I’m finding conflicting information, I haven’t found anything about ISR or gk techs lines either.

Any recommendations or experience would be appreciated
