See you both again in the Spring... :(

Been a shaky month really, car got left untouched for at least 4 weeks, i just wasn't happy with my progress the car is in the final parts of the main build, more plans to come gradually over the next 2-3 years. Has taken about 17 months so far, and i often found myself in the last month thinking about how close i am to completion, really how little there is to do to get it on the road. Usually i just can't seem to turn that desire into actualy working on it. I just think, i'm over it, and really feel like i'm getting nowhere with it. Today was a bit different i looked at her sitting there and decided it was time to get the dash and heater out and start running …

For a newly built engine which oil would you guys recommend to get??. Debating on either some realy good oil, or some middle range oil as its gonna be cha.ged after the first 1000miles of running it in.

Just getting the exhaust on my Z and have gone blank on how the exhaust mounted by where the gearbox crossmember is. There is a big u shape bracket off the back of the gearbox with holes in it, but the rods from the exhaust are at the same height so i cant see how i could put a rubber piece on each one like the rest of the exhaust mounts at the rear of the system. Anybody got a picture of how it mounts up? i suspect i need another bracket or something but would have no idea what i'm looking for. Cheers!

Ello all, Is there a difference in propshafts between the models? Will one off an Auto fit a Manual? Also is it worth getting a one peice prop, I've heard mixed things??? Cheers:tank:

if hitler was wrong why is this so cute

As above really on two stupid items, one was the examiners fault = emissions, i had to prove that the car was 1990 let alone trying to explain that the zed isnt in the database, but he said now that they need proof for a pre cat test. I took it to him last year with no problems, so i wonder why it should be any different this year :thumbdown: Second item, which to be fair i knew about, but after double checking everything was working i totally forgot to sort it = the japspeed drivers manifold touching the steering rod :oops: forgot to hammer it :cursing: Anyway its going back in monday for the retest which it will now pass, so im not too unhappy :phone:

I was wondering how many mm this Z drops beyond floor. at first I thought about 3.5 but then again I would shoot a 4? what do ya´ll guess??

well its been 30mins since i did the block test kit and guess what? it stayed blue this is the kit i got http://www.uktools.com/block-tester-p-12508.html well its still blue... so what on earth is causing my overheating issue. The car has only ever reached 127degrees once. all my testing I've never let the car get higher than 105 as I've shut the engine down once it approaches 100c So im now stumped But im glad its not a blown head gasket.

Hey folks just check out my plans to make sure it is all good. Ok so will this all fit together NA engine with TT clutch onto TT G/Box onto NA one piece prop onto NA diff I dont think there`s any problems there? Simply as my G/Box has a tiny bit of noise and i have a TT box so was gonna sling that on instead Marty

Lads. I hope you can help. it seems to be one thing after another at the moment with this car :( :( Ill start with the current situation. There are no major engine mods to the car Std turbos 154k miles One turbo has a leaky seal. It used to be stood for 90% of the month but is now my daily runner about 30 miles a day. has a proofec 2 boost controller. which is set to off at the moment to preserve the turbo until i cant get it fixed in the new year. Problem Every now and again say twice per tank of fuel.. at diffeent levels of fuel in 3rd gear foot to the floor accelerating it gets to 5.5k revs and can only be described as makes like it has h…

Are the injector plugs on nissans universal?. Was told that they may be, but not 100% sure. Be helpful if there are, make it easier to get replacement ones.

does skyline clutch fits to z32? I heard that gearbox is the same shape so what abaout clutch can be fitted in to z32 300zx?

Kinda confused about wich ones are better...good friend of mine focused me on this on a comparison: On the Teins, there is no dampening adjustment so your spring rates basically change as you adjust your height. At full drop you'll be a lot stiffer than at normal ride height With the BC's, you can basically adjust height and dampening independently. So you can be at full drop and still adjust your dampening to suit your liking. So now I am dounting strongly if my best choice would be BC or Tein, are Tein softer than BC? and what other things to consider on eachother?

To delete the hicas altogether do I need to change the pas pump, or can the outlets for the hicas pipes be plugged? Want to remove the all the hicas pipes completely :)
