Stuck caliper piston
Once the brake pipe starts to round you can spray the bee jesus out of it and it aint budging,its mole grip time im afraid mate.To get a new pipe made wont cost much.

Air Con Removal?? Opinions?
Its a GT car not a sports car !! the air con uses about 5 hp if that,ive got nigh on 500 so do you really think id notice it not being on ffs,under hard acceleration the clutch gets dis engaged anyway.How much power do you think driving with the window down saps then when your car is like a parachute ? unless your tracking the car seriously i cant see any point in removing it.

Air Con Removal?? Opinions?
It never gets hot enough in Nottingham to warrant air con Lol,us southerners like it though.I kept mine as i dont bode well in high temperatures and sweat like a scouser in a spelling test !

Blue smoke from exhaust?
Run the heater on the car,this activates the ficd valve which raises the idle speed.if the smoke stops its a good sign yer tubs are passing oil.This usually works,it seems at idle the seals pass but at a slightly higher idle speed this seems to prevent oil passing.Ive known on numerous occasions this works.
-
Where should this oil line go?
that blank is where a blank would go but thats not it.Get a switch relocation kit and plumb it where the blank is then bin the bodged stock pipe and run a braided line from the banjo straight to the turbo.do not use the "k"banjo on a ball bearing turbo as its restricted inside.
-
Where should this oil line go?
Only US cars had the sender on the oil filter side matey.that pic is a bad bodge of a stock oil feed,shocking workmanship.I relocate the sender to the filter side when fitting bb turbos.

Anyone here got these Rims, please?
Last i heard Greg was living in Taunton and had gone through a messy seperation from his missus.
-
Engine removal help please
I agree mate,anybody that says taking the box out is easier than undoing a pinch bolt on the steering u/j and undoing 4 crossmember bolts is clearly deranged imho ! its a massive no brainer.

Blue Kitted ZX on the M4 Sunday......

Guess what .......................Engine out again
Hi Mark, A lot of stuff is belt n braces with these cars,unless your engine is cammed and will make crazy rev limits its pointless mate.
-
Guess what .......................Engine out again
the piston has detonation damage mate,its classic under fuelling not a heat issue,he had 14 afr on full boost.no 6 goes because its last in line for fuel.

Time Attack 2012
Anybody up there ,yes thats you Mikey,get down there,i would go but im away in france and the race is the day after i return so i will be recovering from serious alcohol consumption,if anybodies wondering if this car is a serious contender i know it is.James needs our support as hes invested lots of time and lots of money to get this car to this level.Having drove and worked on it i can say its a winner for sure.

Clutch alignment tool
Ian it went somehow,i dont know how but it did,i liked it too.i dont have the foggiest how to re instate it either.it was done for me.im poo with computers tbh.
-
Guess what .......................Engine out again
That psiton has suffered classic detonation damge,a first oversize re bore will cure that,the crank sprocket should have been drilled then split thus saving your probaly good oil pump ooppps.Just get ACL bearings,the nissan gradings were only relevant when the engine was new tbh and its crazy anyway,iirc 6 microns between no 1 and 4 grading wtf,its typical Japanese over the top engineering.
