Honestly guys i only downloaded those pictures for research :rofl:

This just proves that zeds have loads of life yet if peeps are still modding them to this extent in Japan.Nice find Mike. :D

The car is black and runs standard wheels and has no mods.The owner is a mate of my apprentice whos 20!!.Its had a bit of a hard time ;) ill say no more.

What really worries me is that Joel found them.And just what search did you use to find those babies eh?????? :slap:

If you want to check if its piston slap.retard the ignition.this will lower the load on the piston and reduce the noise.

400bhp!!!.sounds like a crock of sh1t.

Its not by chance virtually every garage will have a snap on dealer call regular and it aint down to poor quality ;) .Snap on are by far the best and may be pricey but once you get a rapport with your dealer you wont get asked for proof of purchase like halfords should you get a problem.Teng are good tools for what they cost and will go the distance.Mac tools are good quality but the spanners have square sided handles which are uncomfortable when cracking off tight bolts.Facom are crazy expensive and are quite basic.I worked for Renault Trucks for seven years and their training college used Facom tools as they are made in France .Britool are dogs**t,boot tool kit material.the chrome peels and the open end jaws spread,the ratchets fail and will kill your knuckles.I bought a lot of Britool stuff when i was younger and soon replaced it.At the end of the day its all down to how regular you intend on using your tools and for what.You get what you pay for the same as anything else.

Sounds like someone hitting a cat with a baby :eek:

Si if Portishead gets a Netto,Lidl,or Aldi its in decline.leave straight away or buy some Nike shocks and an Ecko Hoody to blend in.

If your in Bristol SWZ is just down the A38.take you half hour to get there.

The problem with manual rebuilds is 3rd gear.Nissan modified the syncro assembly and the fork has to be replaced which makes it very costly.

When the tracking was done did you have a four wheel alignment.? And is the steering wheel straight.

out of interest how long did that all take?

Leave the box in the car,release the lower steering u/j and four subframe bolts.lower the subframe about 50mm and the engine will come out the top.

Didnt click.thats Nicks old car from Hambrook.

Met Red tt lwb on Pen park rd in Bristol this afternoon.reg J***CET.

Im sure i read in the nissan manual that until the engine is up to temperature the ecu keeps the car in safety boost via the solenoid valves.(when connected)

Pretty boy like you si out in the back roads.the locals could have had some fresh meat if they hadnt been sleeping off their shine.

Gearbox oil wont be the cause of the fault.as znut states it most likely hydraulic related.

If your referring to DMD wheel refurbing i think they have gone Neil.My old man took his enkei wheels to a guy in Keynsham in the trading estate off the bypass.

If your in the 2 -3k market bud you want to take your time and look at a few.There are some cracking cars out there and some that will cost you another two grand getting them roadworthy.good luck with the purchase.

My ten pennies worth.and any machine shop youd like to call Lol.you have pm Neil.

Graded bearings are a waste of time.the difference between them is microns and all machine shops work to thousanths of an inch.and if the crank is used then the grades are of even less use because they were measured and graded when the crank was new.its now done 50000 miles plus so how can they still be relevant now.the japs are very anal about tolerances as all their cars use the grading system.you cant even make bearings within microns.they are mass produced then measured after.

plenum off mate.even if you do dremel enough room to get a screw driver on the injector screws.they usually round off and the injectors are so tight if you pull them from above they break.

^^^^^^^^yeh who cares how it looks,its a motor built for a purpose not show n shine or cruising in.Id kill for that.
