crossmember is dowelled into the chassis legs.Common mis conception that the steering is out after if you dont.

do not get the stainless ones,They will crack for sure.Look for cast ones.

Lost count of the times ive said this.There is no need to remove the gearbox when taking a 300zx engine out.its no struggle to undo ther top bell housing bolts once the engine is lowered on the crossmember.And DONT leave the altenator,steering and a/c pump on the engine,undo them and leave them behind.Less mess and aggro.

Wheres the who cares vote ffs :yawn:

Thats also a good sign Gav summits gone bad Lol.

Yeh you,d never do that,dont even know what a mould is do you lmfao :sneaky2: :innocent::biggrin:

Thats because even they know youll copy their hardwork and pass it off as yer own tut tut :yes:

Any internal bearing fault will show up in an oil examination.Ive repaired loads of truck/van gear boxes in my time,done some car ones too and if in any doubt the oil never usually lies,expect some silver oil in the bottom but if a large amount of oil looks like silver paint you know its serious.Before you pull it to bits youll need special tools,a zed box is not conventional as the shafts run through a common casing and will need to be pressed out.

Why do you think the bearings are worn mate?

I wanna see a well sorted n/a car with the Emerald set up on.N/a cars are a better drive when tuned properly like yours will be :thumbup:

This one does it for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEK7POxpVeE

Wheres the tissues Lol.I remember watching an interview with Walter where he said how dangerous it was driving down lanes at 100mph lined with crowds,the drivers needed physiotherapy between stages as it took such a toll on them.Mental.

Audi s1 short wheel base evolution :punk: The noise of the anti lag and wastegate was pant wetting.And the metro 6r4 also sounded nuts.Used to see quite a few at a local rally held every year.Anyone ever seen the video of Walter Rohl driving the Audi? Amazing bit of footage.Guy was a legend at the wheel.

Im sure it will be fine mate.DONT panic if any readings dont quite make what the manual says,remember it is an old car and wont have the readings the manual states now.Fingers crossed for ya.

yeh why not.id be up for another run.just ported my heads so it would be nice to see if it made much difference.

Yes James do the test with the engine up to temp.remember to take all the spark plugs out then do each cylinder.

dear oh deary me,its rarer than flying ants eggs.it may be "an old escort" but think of the cars pedigree and how your buying into a slice of automotive history.If i was minted id buy it.

Yes i could only get John Dixon to do mine,best i could do at the time.Hes a newbie on the zed tuning scene :whistling:

Lol my thoughts exactly,a stock engine and that much power and torque,god knows why i wasted all my money on injectors,turbos,manifolds when i could have just gone there for a mapping session lmfao :whistling:

Youd struggle to get 400 rwhp using that power pack,the yanks power figures are always higher for some reason than what you could really expect.A true 400 at the wheels is gonna cost 6k maybe more.Youll need tubs,555 injectors,divorced down pipes,manifolds,boost controller and better intercoolers.Then if you want it to last your better off strapping that to a rebuilt engine.

Aw jeez,not you AGAIN :taz::ban::flowers:

your mate wouldnt have any connection with Z tech would he,that long standing specialist In Swindon :whistling:

Ive got more beard than your missus and thats sayin something.You northern mincers are as straight as a feckin roundabout.Chuffers or what.Whens your next manicure Allan.Im a west country boy brought up on strong farmhouse cider not that brown pipe engineer beer you northern shit stabbers drink :winkiss:

Faggots the lot of you,and i thought northerners were so say tough,tough as a pink feckin mini skirt,what a bunch of kak pipe cosmonauts.after shave balm,what the fuks that :tt2:
