  1. too true bud.got my clevite ones from the states for a ton with shipping.great link but thats too much work.
  2. no shit.the worst thing you can do to an engine is let it idle for too long after start up.cold start or fuel enrichment can glaze the bores. :nono: .zeds will not allow full boost till till the ecu detects a safe engine temp.(as long as you still have waste gate solenoids). :smash:
  3. contact mike feeney in the traders section.he trades under the name of MJP.
  4. Carl is right the clean part of the piston is caused by atomised fuel cleaning the piston.the rubber build up on the idler is what happens when the belt was too tight as Mike said.
  5. i bought a set of these for my jdm tt but as the 160mph scale is where my clocks indicate 180mph i thought the speedo would probaly be out.has anyone used these on a tt without a problem.
  6. hks made a kit for the z32 comprising of a single turbo .you can find a picture of it on http://www.ooparts-international.com.the car had 900rwhp.the turbo sat in front of the altenator and is the size of new mexico!!.

    if the pcvs had failed any oil deposots in the pipes and inlet manifold will take a few hundred miles to clear so dont panic yet.
  8. silicone sealant is great on exhaust joins as well.i always use it,great stuff,never blows out of joints like paste. ;)
  9. hi bud, personally id go for the covers luke borg sells at the zed center.made by katzkin in the states.the nippon map holders on the rear of the seats look naff as the sides are corrugated!.but its your choice at the end of the day.bear in mind if you want any retrim kit to fit nice you might wanna get some extra foam for the squabs as the originals compress and when you fit your new covers there slacker than a wizards sleeve.
  10. link for rods,pistons and cometic gaskets sent mate.works out under £500. :hyper:
  11. Ive got one coming from source as ive found the manufacturer.and for what its costing im willing to take a gamble.you pays your money you takes your choice.but every now and again some things arent to good to be true.for example just by having a search tonight ive found a set of wiesco pistons,eagle forged rods,and cometic head gaskets all for less than £500!!!!!. there are some bargains to be had sometimes.in 4 weeks i will let you all know if its any good. :hyper:
  12. hi mate,i know someone with this set up and they used http://www.owendevelopments.co.uk to get it set up.
  13. you know the hks one is three times the price!!!
  14. did you speak to scott at altezza?. he keeps telling me there due in any day now.been saying that a month!!!!!.
  15. whereabouts in devon are you?
  16. is it an auto or a manual.as auto boxes dont like being parked up for long periods.
  17. yes one like that does interest me and i have the money waiting.do you prefer pounds or euros.let me know your preference and that youve received my e mail.
  18. thats what i was thinking.its not like you could pop into halfords and get one.imagine the spotty twats face behind the counter if you asked for one. :D
  19. done this myself and used some old towels wedged between the dash and the screen to hold it in place.dont force them to much as the screen may crack.
  20. sounds like valve stem seals.i would replace the pcv valves first if they havnt been done.
  21. probaly not but brace yourself for the shipping.they have a minimum fee for shipping as they are in the middle of nowhere.i bought a key blank and a gearstick lower bush and the shipping cost £30.bearing in mind the parts would have gone in a jiffy bag and they shipped it in a box 6"x6".when i rang and complained i was told that"hey buddy everbody has to get paid".get a quote for the shipping when you order so you are aware of the cost.
  22. by your description it sounds like the engine had seized and youve dragged it in gear to free it off.its more than likely this would have snapped the cambelt.this is why you have no spark or fuel as the cas is turned by the belt.
  23. you need to remove the whole bush.quickest way is to set fire to them.the centers will fall out and you can collapse the outer sleeves in with a cold chisel.thats how ive always done them.
  24. hi mate.the kit is a hks copy.go on their web site and you can find an image.altezza in the uk are about to market them.how much have you found the kit for as the hks one is $1900
