Well today starts the final push to finish! :dance: I've ordered the first of two shipments for the final parts i need. This sunday Rudi's coming down to my parents house where the block is and we'll get stuck in on the bottom half of the engine. We'll be: gapping the piston rings fitting the pistons to the con rods fitting the bearings for the crank fitting the crank/pistons/conrods fitting the oil pump fitting the windage tray fitting and sealing the oil sump fitting the cam timing chain and gears, harmonic damper etc flywheel timing cover pumps and ancillaries By the end of sunday we hope to have the bottom half block …

top idler pulley, the one that sits onto the end of the inlet manifold, does anyone know how to get it off? in the tech manual it shows only was to remove inlet manifold is to remove this pulley and it's stud bolt. i can get the pulley off no bother but not sure how the stud bolt is secured as the manual doesn't cover that, so basically how do i get the bloody stud bolt out? lol any help appreciated cheers Ryan

I know this may sound odd, but now and again my zed wants to wander off!! I can be driving along normally and I can feel that it wants to pull one way or the other. Nothing appears loose, tracking etc ok. Most odd. Any ideas please??

today i drove a total of 324 miles and didnt see one zed at all where was you guys :(

asked here other day about engine rebuild advice about putting old rods and pistons back in. just found out the pistons that come out are ross forged ones can i put them back in they are not worn much and does anyone know if and where i could get new rings for them thanks

I sent it out to someone on here, to help them out, cant remember who as i deleted my old pm's, and was probably on the Stella at the time. just when another member needed to borrow it, so im going to have to make another one, took me bloody ages to construct, wheres my coffee lid..................

Hi, Iam thinking of selling my impreza type r, to get a 300zx. Iam after a manual twin turbo model, I think the impreza is worth around the 5 to 6k mark will I pick a good 300zx up for that? have to see if it sells first lol. Thanks Mark:)

Damn i love my Z, there's nothing that comes close, love to watch the speed rapidly increase, ( when its safe to do so) although watching the fuel disapear is not so good, but who needs good mpg, when you have 2 turbo's and a smooth 3.0 V6 that just makes you smile everytime you press the load peddle, just thought i'd let you know how much fun i'am having in my car, and love this site, seem's the car come's with a whole site, rammed with cool people who all have something in common. will the showing up boy racers always be this much fun or will that wear off.

Popped over to see Uno just now, and help out re a steering issue, and had a quick go in the Shortie...............Very nice mate indeed. Rude not to take a few pics of some black zeds both from Sussex....... At least i got my new t shirt broken in (coverd in oil) Good to see you bud.:duffer:

Hi all, not having a front engine undertray on the Z would this effect engine/auto box cooling? Regards Andy

Hello all after looking at the decat system that came with my car i saw two sensors on the cats so searched for advice on here and also decided to call zed world. I have been told the decat with destroy the turbos if fitted:shock: so I'm putting it on hold at the moment. I'm going to see them soon so i can here the reason why. These guys know the crack so no doubt there right but i want to see if there is a way around this. What you guys recon?

Ok what we got here then, a zed with an odd sound from the engine area, some thought was big ends, some thought was little ends and some even thought VVT springs. Well non of the above, the car has just been treated to a pair of new turbo`s ( last month) but they are fine and fitted well and are not the problem, sadly cannot say the same about the workmanship on fitting the gearbox back to the engine Cut it short when the gearbox was refitted he did not refit the side brackets between the gearbox and engine so there was no lower fixings at all, the top 4 fixings were all loose and the gearbox had started to fall backwards!!! the flex plate was been twisted by …

Can someone please give me this please? As I would dial it including country code etc Thanks all

when I take my foot off the accelerator to stop, i.e at a junction or traffic lights the idle speed first stops at around 1500 rpm and then slowly falls to around 700 rpm. Anyone got any idea why it doesn´t fall directly to the set idle speed of 700 ? any input as always greatly appreciated :) Maz

Seen you coming from fountain's roundabout on carrigeway ! was in the office so could'nt see the plate :D Anyone??

Thanks again to ZEDWORLD car been in again for inspecton, all okay! Thanks Jeff for everything!:bow: NEW OWNERS OF ZED'S DO THE RIGHT THING, TAKE YOURS TO ZEDWORLD BRILL SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!:bow:

my zed is now no-more:cry: after all the messing about it is now DEAD!!!! had it checked out and it has killed valves and it also has a crcked block! and with the auto-box knackered it really not worth worrying with anymore. but not leaving the club just wont be owning a zed for a while
