Well today I went to pick up a front bumper donated to the ' get rid of the veilside bodykit ' fund...... lol

Neil shortz has sponsored the oem front bumper replacement and kindly spent some time with me making me realise how I need to get my Z back on the road....

I got to follow him for a while in his Z and just wished I was in mine as well instead of my daily driver..... lol

I wanted to thank Neil for allowing me to waffle on for so long and help me out so much........

 

I did manage to solder on an injector connector for him, but didn't come close to repaying his kindness and help.....

 

I also got to have a look at another members Z with starting issues but couldn't do enough to get her going.... hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can get to the root of the problem.

All I could tell was she tried to fire and smelt badly of fuel.....

I was told that the MAF had been swapped previously and okay, CAS swapped and okay, connections all seemed good, compression had been tested as low on the left bank.....

The Car had been running but on what appeared to be safety boost, but seemed okay..... next day wouldn't fire up.....

Spark is there, fuel is there..... I was wondering about belt slipped a couple of teeth putting out the cams on one side causing low compression and timing out?

I am guessing at causes, but tested a relay that had a similar effect on mine when I got her..... There was only 0.5v on the switching instead of 12v.... but this returned to 12v suddenly.....

There is an old alarm that could have an immobiliser built in, but it was disconnected when she ran previously.... so shouldn't be that.....

 

Anyway hopefully it will be heading to specialist Z mechanic sometime soon.......

 

 

Thanks again Neil and nice to see you again........ Great club spirit from another member........

Neil's one of the nicest chaps I've met from the club and looking forward to hopefully seeing his Z at a meet or show this year. A well worthy COTM winner!
