The solenoid things on the plenum to engine bracket on each side of the engine. Something to do with the old dump valves? Ones connected and one isnt, so im just going to dump them both and block up the relevant holes. Apart from that, the engine is 99% back together now, just waiting for some hose clips to turn up for the coolant pipes. One thing I noticed on the pass side turbo, the coolant pipe on the back of the engine. people put a little piece of pipe to a metal pipe, then another peice of pipe from that to the next metal pipe (if that makes sense) why not use just one peice(less joints)?????

Hello, have been looking around and all I seem to be able to find out about the ALC II (Automatic Line Controller) from HKS references the standard ECU. I have a Mines ECU, will this little device still work? (yes... my car is a auto tt) Does anyone know how this actually works, is it an advantage to have? Cheers.

saw a red zed on the a1307 just past the linton bypass going towards abington at about 5pm. any one on here?

Sorry if this has already been posted but just picked up a copy of JP from the shops and theres a Zed in there, anyones off ere ?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HKS-boost-controller_W0QQitemZ280091865963QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Currently have this in my new Z and i know absolutely nothing about it! I pressed a button on it today and it started flashing red so i turned it off!! Anyone have a online manual or something so i can set it up?

Cheers to You UNO, no 1 for keeping the engine for me, and for providing nice cuppa tea, during the removal of the engine, for me and the lads. Basically ive now got UNO's engine, which due to the sad loss of his two tone zed, the engine will now have a new home in my zed. We started yesterday morning at just after 9.30am, a few cups of tea later, removal of the engine was completed by taking out the subframe and raising the body up. All the parts such as exhausts and gearbox are of the car. Total time from start to finish 2 hours 40 mins. Thanks mate, will pop over when running. Sussex Stu

dunno if anyones interested i had a spare couple of turbos from the Zed, so i knocked up a manifold and stuck them on the GTti, turns out from the compressor maps, its pretty much ideal. it should haul now :hyper:

passengers side: drivers side: that would make it run like shit eh? im junking the EGR anyway so im not bothered, im just curious to know how it got there. theres obviously oil coming from somewhere and carbonising in the tube.

since hauling my engine out it looks like the oil wasnt coming from the crank seal, but from the seal round the plunger on the auto tensioner. is this a common problem?

Today i've decided to clean my throttle bodies and also took my trust induction kit, maf apart to give it a clean. I cleaned what looked like a normal cotton airfilter with some air filter cleaner. Rinsed it out with water and the bloody thing has fallen apart lol. Where can I buy a replacement? or will it be ok? It's split at the bottom. Here is a pic... I'm going to have to dry it with a hairdryer and carefully put it back together as i've got to have the car on the road tomorrow to go to work! Chris

Fook, This Transam must have some power!?! :eek: 300Z32 vs Transam

Thanks to Mark (for selling it to me :D ) and also to Zed-Sean for an inverter :D Comes on with the sidelights and looks really cool :hyper:

do you put on the battery terminals after cleaning to stop green fur building up time after time. Friends battery keeps furring over on negative terminal.

Have just had Ollie do my pods LED mod, does anyone know off hand if the bulb under the auto selector display could be changed for an LED ? if so any idea which type of LED needed ?

hi guys does anyone know about these HASTE radiators? they look good as they are thicker than koyo's etc ebay item no 230104621652, (sorry dont know how to create link?) regards steven

My car has cruise control, which doesnt work. When the cruise button on the right hand "bank" of controls is pressed the system engages, well the light comes on and "cruise" is illuminated. However it doesnt seem to responsd to set, resume etc etc.... So to cut a long story short, i noticed that the edge of the top of the steering wheel trim was loose, i figure no worries just pop that back in. On taking the cover of the steering wheel of i noticed that the cruise buttons wernt plugged into anything, furthur more the connector for them to plug into has gone (you can all see where this is going....) Where should it be? Is it possible its dropped down the stee…

gents just seen this on the z1 site, does anyone have this on there zed?? it looks great but what of the quality?? http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_383&products_id=66

well finally the time came for me to ditch the air con, i have'nt used it much at all & its been without gas for the past 2 years anyway so will probably be knackerd :mac1: its amaizing the aircon rad covers the whole of the coolant rad, how on earth was i meant to keep the engine cool with this in the way?? much better now though loads of room , also the aircon compressor has gone along with the associated pipe work, hopefully get the ash spec rad in there 2 keep things ice cool ;)

I have a 1993 Twin Turbo auto, it has got a slight vibration, noticable from 60mph onwards, by the time we get to 120 to 130 its getting quite bad, it feels bad to me anyway, not used to vibrations lol It seems worse when decelerating from these speeds. I think its the propshaft that requires balancing from reading around, but if anyone has any different ideas or agress with me (would be a first :D) I would greatly appreciate it Thanks Chris
