ZD30 top mount intercooler setup

Top mount intercooler setup

If it's the compressor wheel that has broken, then any pieces large enough to do damage should have been caught by the intercooler.

The direct injection 3 litre ZD30 doesn't have a Suction Control Valve (SCV). If the engine light is on you need to find out what the actual fault code is. I would also check the fuel filter again for dirt/water, especially if you had a bad batch of fuel. Water, dirt in filter or air being...

No worries, hope you get it working ok.

George Martin was this bloke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Martin He died in March in this year back when this thread was started.

Hi coolbigrock. When you open the ECUTalk application, and all the available sensors load up, you have a display at the bottom of the window which says "Logging disabled". Once you check the "log" box next that, the message says "Check sensor twice to log only". You can then select the gauges...

Definitely sounds like air is getting into the fuel system overnight and the fuel is draining back to the tank. Check all fuel hoses around the filter and the injector pump for cracks and possible leaks.

Try Nizzbits. Garry is good to deal with. Still genuine parts but slightly cheaper than a Nissan dealer.

ZD30 doesn't use the typical spin on filters where you replace the whole filter. They have a cast alloy housing which threads directly onto the block. You just replace the internal filter element, screw the housing back on and tighten to the recommended torque which is stamped on the housing...

Fair enough, normally I would totally agree, but those filter housings are alloy and quite thin- I don't reckon it would take much to crack one. Anyway, glad to hear it came off ok in the end.

Doesn't sound too good. If mechanic tightened the sh*t out of it, it probably squashed the o-ring and may have deformed the thread a bit. I would suggest slowly applied force with a breaker bar and use an extension i.e. length of pipe if necessary. I would avoid hitting with a hammer so as not...

That's correct, normal thread- undo anti- clockwise. It's a large, coarse thread with an o-ring and should not be over tightened. The torque setting is written on the housing, and it's quite low. I always use a torque wrench to do it up after a filter change. May have been over tightened in the...

Glad you got it sorted. Good stuff.

It's a long shot but I once had a bad highway wobble/ vibration in my old AU Falcon ute which turned out to be a front brake caliper sticking on/ not releasing properly.

That photo may have been taken on the dyno. Rumpig can clarify that. We only got a small section of open speed limit back which is just north of Alice Springs. And we're all law abiding citizens up here anyway ;-)
