Well, hopefully my new engine arrives next week so i can crack on and get my car on the road. so before it goes in, i have a few bits to change. ive got all the shiny stuff to take off my old engine to put on the new one. But while the engine is out i want to do a bit of tidying. now im stuck for getting the front bumper off unless i take both wings off. so any deletes with parts hidden behind the wings / front bumper the bits are going to have to stay, so anyway a few questions does anyone have a diagram for the new vac pipe route once ive deleted things? Also, does anyone make the blanking off plates for the plenum once ive removed the EGR? Also, wh…

Had a great day out today at Santa Pod and decided to take the slickie which the clutch is slipping on so im on limited mileage at the moment but what a refreshing change it is to park that up safe and then jump into my 95 shorty TT jeez that thing is quick. Its days like this it makes me wanna keep the both of them what a nice drive back to Bedford area the car just sounded so sweet on acceleration the new owner will be very happy indeed :) plus im sure she is running more than 280BHP as is much faster than my old LWB TT

Today, Mikey, Rose and I took two zeds to Glasgow and came back with 3. Rose bought SandyZ's yellow and black 300ZX. We took quite a few cameras, plus phones, so here's a couple of pictures to start off with, when the videos are uploaded to YouTube, I'll post the links here! :D Manual conversion this week, then a few simple mechanical fixes like skimming the brake discs etc. Then you guys will start to see what Rose does to cars. Mikey on the way up: Shell station when we picked the car up: Mini Z meet in a Glasgow Scrap Yard: The Mad Z Breaker!: One way to take an exhaust off!: When we got home from the Epic road trip:

Apologies if its yours and I freaked you out driving past and stopping to take a pic lol J*** SDH

while watching mythbusters earlier i spotted a zed in the car park!! haha The one where there smashing hammers together!

Since buying my blue ZX from PhilP in the summer of 2009 I have, today, passed the milestone of 10,000 miles under my ownership of it! And it still brings a smile to my face each time I drive it.........:thumbup1: Richard:rockon:

Hope your car was not damaged due to water loss and RAC were speedy.

First time in ages I've seen a good few Zeds at the show normally only 1 or 2 turn up , seen about 6 today :clap: Some great examples especially the 2 in the show and shine area Eye candy or what :thumbup1::thumbup1: Did pass one on the back of a trailer on the way home though hope not too serious :no:

I have two here that was making my car not start .. the outlet one works fine i think .. but the main Inlet one i can not blow thou it or even if i apply alot of Sucking to it.. it still remains Closed ( blocked ) and this is stoping Fuel getting to the injectors How do you Test them Mark

Has anyone had any negative effects from doing this. I have removed my PRVR & AIV systems & am thinking of removing the CC as I need to remove the front bumper for painting & to install my ARC intercoolers from Nend. The CC probably gives me the most concerns out of all deletes for vapour loss reasons. Any comments appreciated :detective:

really really upset today out of the blue driving too work my window cracked, big time its about 60cm long and across the entire driver-side, there was nothing that hit the window or any previous crack/ chip, i dont know what could have caused it? anyway, phoned auto glass got a quote for it 430? is this good anyone got any better? and they mentioned blue glass? sound right?

New front bumper I've been spending weeks working on...

Hi Guys, Any of you know if there is a garage that knows about these cars in the Maidstone area. I have a garage that I use and they are good but I am not sure they know these cars. I am waiting till Tuesday for an Idle control valve that I will fit but if that does not sort it I need a garage to take a look. Cheers

Now you see it ... Click piccy

Working on the dash and dropped a screw under the seat so tried to fish it out with a long screwdriver and found three yen coins a Jap receipt and the screw:biggrin:I love JDM finds

im going to be dropping the car by around 25 to 30mm at the front, its been suggested that i could do with adjustable front camber arms as it will throw the front camber out. dta used to do a packer kit but obviously they are now out of buisness. anyone got any suggestions cos £150 for cheap adjustables is a bit steep considering how small the drop is.

We went to Silverstone on Saturday and had a great day. Pete came and helped me tinker with the car as needed and he even had a session as passenger in the afternoon :) The car ran really well with just a couple of teething problems which were sorted on the day. I was running with standard road tyres and didn't bother putting the toyo 888 on as I wasn't looking to push at 100% this time around and anyway they are pretty crap in the wet lol. Here's a link to my very first session of the day and I will upload a couple of wet laps a bit later :)

Ok guys, just went to move the car and the starter motor is making clicking sounds coupled with ignition lights going out when it would be cranking. Sounds to me like the battery is dead/flat. First of, does anyone know the correct battery for the Z, and were the cheapest place to buy a reasonable one is for worst case scenario ? No-one I know nearby has a charger I can borrow, so looks like I am going to have to spend again :( What do I need to look for to ensure I get one man enough for the correct battery ?

hi all does any body know where the bost conrol solanoid is or do they run two of them as i am thinking of puting boost controlers on thank's

I have a strange intermittent buzzing noise coming from rear of the engine, would the Idle air control valve make this noise if faulty. Paul

It,s been the first time i,ve driven it properly for nearly 14 months a by fook did it feel good :dance::dance: Pulls like a train and that,s set up on standard boost ! , gonna be fitting a Zedworld chipped ecu and wind the boost up :whistling: let the fun begin :devil2::devil2: LOL The only trouble now is i,ve got to wait for the first of next month to get it taxed , that,s 12 bl00dy days :crying:, I CAN,T COPE HELPPPP.

In a moment of (what I thought was) clever thinking, I removed the green relays out of the small fusebox under the bonnet whilst I was on holiday and the Z was sat outside trying not to get stolen... lol :sweatdrop: Anyway I went to start it up earlier and couldn't for the life of me think why it wouldn't fire up, I used the throttle a bit as I was trying to start it before realising what was wrong lol :w00t: So I refitted the missing fuses after I struggled to remember where I'd put them, and the car started after a bit but is now running poor and sounds like a 3 cylinder :blushing: would I have flooded it maybe and is there a solution for this sort of stupidit…
