heres the item number.2 days 2 go 170068435220.hth.

great minds think alike.are there any areas where the material is thinner because of waterways.i have 2 pairs of spare heads but id prefer to use the ones on the car now.better the devil you know hey!

will have to try both,my bluepoint die grinder only does fast and faster.might have to put a pair of molegrips on the airline!!!.

fair shout mate as long as my face is smiling longer than yours was i dont mind. :p

ive got a die grinder and have just ordered a 10mm belt sander so im gonna go for it.

not you as well greg.as long as your paying like the rest i dont mind. :slap:

thank you for the input guys.would love to spend on manifolds and camshafts but dont think i could stretch to that yet the missus would have my guts for garters and she is a reasonable woman!!!.has anyone had much success porting or polishing the heads.im going to do the lower plenum myself.

my liver and kidneys cant do weeks anymore simon.too much abuse in my early days LOL :wack:

decisions decisions Simon.i could also be tempted in a trip to France.should have my engine done by then.ran yours in by going to france so i could do the same if im feeling brave !!!.

got room for one more Si.i dont mind top and tailing.

ive mentioned this in another post but thought id put it here.whilst trolling through usa e bay i found a listing by the twinz selling their bumper.the advert states they have three available and they are the last three they will ever make.so unless someone buys one and makes a mould from it it may be gone for good.shame really as it was one of the few bumper upgrades that really suit a zed.

whilst were on the subject of bumpers i was trolling through american e bay friday night and found a listing by the twinz for their grp bumper.the ad stated they were selling the LAST three and it wont be made again.so i guess anyone that wants one had better be quick.

im sure someone may correct me but on stock tubs you may notice a slight difference if its cold bit it will only be negligible.

yes to be fair it was quite advanced at the time but shopping hatch backs come with that now.nissans let down was that they were in un chartered waters when they designed it.the vtc set up was dropped in the end but it was done very quietly.and the cars lost grunt at the same time.

the engine isnt that complicated really.a lot of jap motors are over engineered.once you wade passed the emission rubbish and the silly graded bearings and pistons all you have is a v6 with two tubs feeding it.most of the nissan knee jerk rebuild info can be ignored once youve done a few.i was petrified when i rebuilt my first.ask funki si on here.his motor is a gem.phew!! thank god. :)

so along with the cams.are there any other mods i can do ie headwork etc to help me gain a few more gee gees.

did you bust the bores out well and get them nice and rough.she hasnt glazed up?

clutching at straws here but did you check the valve guides and seals.smoking on idle is also a valve/seal symptom.

thanks for the reply mac.are the jwt stage ones good for this?

pulling my engine soon for its freshen up.got forged pistons,gt525s,555injectors and chip.divorced dump pipes and de cats oh and a front mount.im hoping for around 400 -430rwhp.are there any mods in the engine i can do to get me up to the 450 mark.would polishing the ports in the lower plenum give me any noticeable gains?.

Yes the sprockets are dowelled to the cams.so you dont have to get the dti out which is a relief.

paul is right.dont over complicate things with grades.get a good machine shop to polish or grind the crank which ever is needed and they will tell you.and get them to supply the shells.any good make such as payen sell them as std or +10 etc.

my dads car had this problem.he had a faulty connection at the cas unit.the ecu didnt detect any errors.the cas signals the ecu to latch the fuel pump relay when the engine is cranked.your car probaly started on the residual fuel pressure in the rail then died when it ran out.remove the fuel supply pipe and put it into a container and get someone too crank the engine.you have to turn the engine over.putting the ignition on wont prime the rail.

thats ok buddy glad to have helped :)

Is the car running on all 6.you may have a poor coil connection.if it drops a cylinder the tickover will be low and the car will struggle to tick over.worth a check.
