Hey guys after a lot of cussing and swearing and growing back of fingers ,etc, i finally got the engine stripped down in the bay and it is ready to pull out tomorrow. my good friend Afroman is lending me his engine hoist and it should be on the floor before long!!!

Don't know if anyone has seen this but some guys on TT net are having a GB on Nismo injectors. The thread is here: http://www.twinturbo.net/cgi-bin/ttnet_viewmsg.pl?forum=general&msg_id=487842 I have spoken to the guy organising it and he is very happy for us lot to jump in on the buy. The prices are stunningly cheap (compared to the prices I've been quoted anyway). Any takers? And for the tech gurus: apparently the fuel rails on the Z changed in August 93. I'll obviously need to specify what type I need (and 740cc are only available on the post 93 fuel rail). Anyway, my question is: how can you tell whether I have the newer fuel rail? My car was made late …

The following was sent to me by e-mail from Poland, from a school time friend who I have just contacted after 20yrs or so (fibber 25!!) enjoy. Jeff TT The Jeep and the sheep. Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the edge of a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Jeep Cherokee screeches to a halt next to him. The driver, a young man dressed in a Brioni suite, Cerutti shoes, Ray-Ban sun glasses, Jovial Swiss wrist-watch and a Pierre Cardin tie gets out and asks the shepherd, “If I guess how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?” The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the grazing sheep and replies, “Okay.”…

So is this a dump valve or a factory recirc? Do stock recircs go 'Chissshhhhh' or not. Im confused.

I was re-united with my Z today! I wasn't prepared for the spectacle I saw; my first thoughts were- "wow, surely that isn't my car!" Pete (aka LEONARDO) has done an absolutely stunning job on my Z. I strongly urge anyone condsidering getting a kit fitted or having paintwork done, to get on to him, pronto! His website is www.modifiedatpps.co.uk Also a massive thanks for our own Mr Duffman: cheerz for the lift and for putting up with my inane grinning! Pics are to follow..... Dave ps, the stillen gtz-r front is an excellent way of keeping our country clean:- stopping for petrol on the way home I found one of Duffman's fag-butts caught in me mesh!

Anyway, pipe has been fucking masking taped at some point(don't start about SE either) to hold …

OK, Nico is clearly someone who knows his Zeds and, being an administrator, sitteth on the RH of G. And is fond of falling off snowy mountains on unpowered wooden runners with no brakes. But WTF is this about Herdy-Gerdy in his sig? All has been revealed when I read the Grauniad yesterday - it's a Playstation2 game. Apparently, the young folk enjoy putting silvery spinning disks into a piece of electronic trickery then wearing out their eyes and thumbs. H-G is one of these disk thingies. The Grauniad reviewed it and said: "beautifully drawn cartoon world" "extremely satisfying and will appeal to anyone craving something a bit more creative for their…

Right people who are wanting these new dials, now that they have arrived 11 days after I sent them. We have the problem on putting the needle back in the right place. As you can seen there is not a thing that makes the needle only fit one way. The speedo and rev have needle rest, and we may be lucky enough to just be able to set the needle so its on the needle rest. But the fuel and temp just sink all the way. The Turbo and Oil needles dont need taking off. Just a thought Stuart

Cool car chases all way through. Monster American muscle cars but great stuff.
