Re: Help please, rev2 turbo no eml and won't start

Yea ok, thanks for the grammer correction #-o

Right the spider earth on the inlet is making a good connection, just "BARE" metal.

But no eml light on dash again now.

Guess I need to check all ecu earths now?

Re: Help please, rev2 turbo no eml and won't start

Grounded the w5 plug to chassis which flicked up a permanent eml light on dash. Car started first turn of key.

Re: Help please, rev2 turbo no eml and won't start

No, I didn't think it would be good idea as had the w5 plug grounded to chassis and didn't want to fry/bu88er anything else.

So is it ok to try and start it like this can you confirm please?

Thanks for the help/advice with this

Re: Help please, rev2 turbo no eml and won't start

Right well think its the ecu gone, replaced all the other relays and fuses in engine bay fuse box for known working ones and still same problem. Checked ecu power and was okay but when checking the w No.5 along on middle ecu plug this fired up the dash ecu light. A friend spoke with Paul from Woodsp...

Re: Help please, rev2 turbo no eml and won't start

Yea all ecu plugs are in, earths are all connected,

It wouldn't be anything to do with removing the tvis and tvsv sensors would it? I had tvsv removed before and worked fine with the tvis still connected.

Can't check anything till morning as I work nights.

Try sfs performance, or you could buy from a commercial supplier. I have found this the most cost effective way.

Re: Hi everyone :)

Do you mean a 350z or 370z? My friend has a 350z and its pants, don't think the 370 is hugely better either. But it does have that cool rev match thing when you change gear to help people that can't shift gear properly and accelerate quickly. 370z is about 325 bhp from factory and 350z is 300bhp. Th...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] running in after cylinder head rebuild?

Ruddy phone posting doubles, or maybe I've drunk too much?

I ment for the head bolts 36ftlbs if standard bolts, then mark them all at 12oclock with a dab of paint or marker and then turn another 90degrees if this is the torquing you were asking about.

Here http://manual.teq.org/ :thumleft: Download the correct zip files, one for mechanical. Iirc it was 36ftlbs, it says in the cylinder head section and also in the torgue spec sections. I kinda used jimgts's guide on here http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=81325&postdays=0&postord...
