..do you think a garage would charge for soldering 6 injector connectors - replacing the old ones...?

As title........ Or is there another way using an aftermarket sender unit? Plan B is an aftermarket gauge but I really don't want to go down that route yet. TIA Rob.

I have an apexi avcr boost controller. The vacum hose goes directly from the turbos to the com port on the apexi solenoid. Is that wrong? Because nothing changes whatever boost/duty I set. Note - At the time my speed sensor to the ecu doesn't work. Don't know if that have any thing to do with it... And I'm pretty sure the wastegate actuators was adjusted a bit because of fitment issues. Can that have anything to do with my problem? I have boost. But too much I think. Goes right up to 1.5 bar (thats when I went of the throttle) no matter what I set the boost controller at. (gt600r turbos)

I went over/into the smallest bump in the world! :(

Hi all, I bought an engine stand so i can finish off my engine! Im scared of putting the complete engine on the stand even though the stand can take upto 500kg. Im more bothered about what i need to use to bolt the engine to the stand. Do i need strenthend bolts or anything like that? My worst nightmare would be for the engine to be to heavy for the bolts and it falls to the floor. Thanks Dan

OK... Own up.... who did I see in a RED Zed in Grays this afternoon... we flashed each other... Nice looking standard red zed

Hi, I need some new or good second hand Lambda Sensors, where is the best place to get some? Cheers

No, this isn't a joke thread. Few things have happened lately which has made me take another look at my life (not money related). I've completely lost interest in cars including my Z. Sufice to say that I am very seriously thinking about putting it up for sale. I never thought I'd say it. I dunno whether I'm making a good decision or a bad one. Yes, I do know all the 'you'll regret it mate' things. But I just really have zero interest in it anymore.

nothing to do with me but Mmmm, lovely wheels :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Skyline-GTR-Advan-Sienna-Gen-II-Wheels_W0QQitemZ280312406530QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET?hash=item280312406530&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Got the PAS ECU plug a few days ago. Cheers for the freebie!! Looks like the HICAS ECU has a bit of a hissy fit when it can't see the engine one. Going to convert to an NA unit instead.

I 'think' it was Snoopy. Although can't be sure. Noticed a smooth nose panel.

Saw you driving through Temple Bar mid afternoon yesterday. Had Skyline GTS wheels on it.

mines fooked, are they garunteed? my o/s looks like this when you look down it any clues? failing that where do i get a new'un from?

Bought my car :cry: it goes tonight once they give me the cash..... Onwards and upwards i suppose, got the VX for the mud and will look at another bike / trike(disabled!) for the summer

Hi all, Im looking at getting some new wheels for my Zed to go with the new paint Job but havent got much idea about fittings etc... So my questions are: 1. If i put 18' wheels on will i have to lower the car? 2. What's the max width i can go? 3. Are there any recommended wheel sites to give me some idea of prices. Cheers all;)

As above- can't see the problem though- rad isn't hot- if it's blocked would I still lose coolant? Any suggestions welcome.

Long story short, my Z has a oil leak at the front of the engine. I pulled the front off, and the leak was coming from the behind the right hand intake (VTC) cam sprocket. I automatically assumed it was the cam seal, so I removed all the cam sprockets, and replaced the seals (I also replaced a lot of other things while I had access). Since then, I have re-installed everything, only to discover it is still leaking! I've ruled out the cam cover, as it was clean around that area. The sprockets haven't been off in the 6 years I've owned the Z, so it won't be cam shaft damage. Sorry, this isn't really that short a story! Question is, how common is it for the sproc…

I have a couple of issues. In attempting to resolve prop vibration I have encountered rusty bolts probably fitted in japan to replace original studs on the back of the catalitic converter flanges, which couple to the after market stainless exhausts. I have managed to remove two of the original nuts from the studs, but the other two have been replaced with these bolts which have now sheared. What is the best way to remove these? One has sheared flush with the CAT flange, the other about 1/4" above. Do I grind flush and try to drill them out? There is not much room behind the flange to grip the end of the thread?? Also I intend to replace the centre bearing. I have an app…
