Alright guys and gals. Finally got a z32. 1991. Twin turbo manual. Very happy. It does however look a bit tired on the paint but nothing I can't sort there. Done 90000. Mechanically it's great. No smoke. Boost needle where it should be. Sounds great. New timing belt. Very happy. However. What are the tell tail signs the clutch is going?

Pictures later date as I don't know how to put them on as I am on my phone aha

Looks good mate. And yes Ian I've had a couple of people pick up bootlids on a roof rack before, does look comical!

 

Cheers mate :D

Well. Cleaned car out today, same old same old. I suspected I had a vacuum leak due to when I change gear at high boost it sounds like a small blow off valve. I was listening earlier at idle and there is a hissing noise from the left side under the two big boost pipes. Looks like the big plastic pipe. Will update :)

Been fitting my new AEM fuel pump today. Had to use my nogin to make it secure but all in all happy days

Wired in my sidelights so I have 4 lights now :D

You might attract unwanted attention with that format. It could be assumed you have your fogs on.

Yeah I get that. They were originally in the fog lights though. As it's jap but I didn't really like it

This drew attention!

 

Had to settle with this!

I can see why that did aha. Nice by the way

My car has been running quite bad lately. Thought it was fuel related... until I found this :O

I can see that being a problem mate.

I can see how that could get you a tug art, they don't like it when you display blue light. Did you have a chat with her majesty's Mafia over it? I'd be surprised if you didn't get a friendly chat or a bill, although as it appears atm. If you live at an odd number then they won't persue it anyway. Haha

Looks better Art, those blue lights look seriously cheesy.

Hi Si!

The Blues got replaced when taken for first UK mot!

I can see that being a problem mate.

 

Sorted now. Luckly it was only two wires on the ptu harness. I just re soldered them and insulated them. They had been rubbing on the fan belt and it cut through :(

Is that because the loom is extended by a series 1 to series 2 ptu conversion?

Yeah that's right mate

Took off my wipers and targa strips to paint them as the chrome was showing and the wipers were off coloured

Got my new black vented bonnet on. Ready for jae... machine polishing her tomorrow morning :)

Well after a morning of hard work machine polishing and fine detailing the car is more or less ready for jae :D

Looking Good Joel, photo of the back please showing yr new boot lid

Will do matey :D

It's been a while since but nice to meet everyone at jae. Some great people in the club :)

Today I have painted my tired red colour mirrors black. Very happy with the results... also painted some interior parts black then went artistic on them ;)

Nice to meet you at JAE Joel :thumbup1:

Yeah you too gary :D

Nice interesting finish on the trims mate!
