Todays action at Santa Pod dint get going till around 11.00am due to misty/foggy conditions and a very wet track. When we got going i was lined up against and old school dodge (Dart??) with a big V8 installed. Car was a mid 12s contender so as you would imagine I was some distance behind him soon after launch!! However at around the 1000ft mark his whole firbre glass front end flew up and over the car skywards before heading to the centre of the track. I reckon he was doing nearly a ton when it happened. i rapidly dived to my left and lifted off the gas before passing the front end now lying slap bang between the two lanes. :sad: No damage to the car or driver a…

Took the crank out of my spare block What do you think to the condition of the bearings? All original part numbers can still be seen clearly also can't feel or see any scoring ect Main bearings

oh dear, I made a big hole lol, found some rust in the seams so decided to cut it out and at the same time I will be able to get rid of where my hicas use to bolt too. got a new bit welded in, but couldn't take no pics cause it poured down with rain. hopefully be able to grind wields down and make it nice and smooth.

Fitted my MeisterR`s today that I bought from Andy Isherwood and tried to take some Baz inspiring pics, but couldn't get the right autumn`y shot :( oh well here`s the best 2

Can anyone tell me the best (cheapest) place to get the steering column UJ from???? Cheers

Well, finally got chance to get outside, wash the Z, change the plugs and take it out for a quick blast!! All plugs looking in great condition, which was a pleasant surprise as everything else I decide to check is normally broken or faulty. Also took a couple of pics to show you all and so I can use one for my name pic thing, if I can figure out how to do it. Only took a few pics as its starting to rain and get dark. Also, no pics of interior as, other than the front seats, its all out!! I'm trying to recover in white leather bit by bit. However, I'm currently renovating the new house my family have moved too, so short on time and lack of shed doesn't help!! Anyway, (if t…

Yes!!! Its blue, blue leather :( auto TT , Should be cheap (very) ....wish me luck :)

the engine in my car is fairly unknown, while its out the little and alrge jobs are being done. took the belt cover off tonight, to find cams that looked a little funny. theres 3 other engines sat in the lock up and the cam pulleys didn't match them. with mine the inlet cams are solid, well too look at theres a second cover on the cam pulley face, bolted up from behind. confused. any explaination?

Why the hell did Mr Nissan go home early one friday night in the design process and not design the crank timing belt pully with 2 blind 6mm threaded holes to enable us to put a simple extractor puller on and just simply pull it off:sad:...no room for a slide extractor,3 legged puller or pry bar without damaging the oil pump at all. After over 20 years stuck on my crank i had to cut mine off. btw..we have 2 gravity return pipes from turbo,s to sump...remind me whats the small 3rd one for out the side of sump:confused1:

Any forum recommendations for someone who knows Zeds and door servos within easy reach of Slough or NW2? Ta, Gio

HI , I have a Pioneer carrazzeria meh9000 which is a mini disc/cd changer/radio fm/am, I have seen frequency extenders that up it from the lower range japanese to the higher european frequencies, has anyone tried these and do they work cos at the moment I only have 4 stations, it is a bit retro I know around 10 years old but it's a nice radio and younger than my zed and £500 when new I have mini discs as well to use in it, I already have a parrot handsfree so I don't need a new type with bluetooth, OH what to do?????

Off to Zedworld this coming Tuesday (23rd). If anyone is going to be in the area, come say hi! Alex

Ok so I'm looking to order my big end and main bottom end bearings but abit confused.com as which to order, Now on Z1 they say you need to specify which grade you need, and this will be stamped on each rod and the on the crankshaft, But what happens as I want to order some ACL race bearings and they don't ask which grade you need just wether you want normal size or over sized bearings? Also Z1 says the 2 middle main bearings have same part number but need to be placed in the correct place is it easily noticeable which one needs to go where or do they both look the same? Paul

Before we even pulled the engine yesterday due to the oil / water mix in the radiator, the smoke from the exhaust and the general fit of engine we knew there was troubl e ahead, but add to the mix that this was once rebuilt by Ztech ( now a defunct outfit ) and was one of their famed "Forged variety" the reveal was well no surprise, Standard pistons, rings rods, bearings, and nice standard head gaskets, trouble is the car had been set up on the understanding it was strong biggger injectors, bigger turbo`s and boosted etc. but the build was poor, the amount of excess silicon sealant was a joke, the mixed up bolts and missing brackets etc. was plain lazy, but to ch…

I just got my zed back from the garage after they have supossedly fixed it. i get half way home, turn the lights on only to find that the high beams won't turn off, none of the side lights and none of the rear lights work except the brakes. i tried going back to the garage to find out what they have done only to have them tell me they haven't done anything that would affect the lights except maybe when they pulled out the rear fog switch and accidently pulled the wires off. so i tried to drive home again before it was too dark, got about a mile from home and steam started pouring out from under the bonnet :censored: managed to pull over, had a look and it looks li…
