Who else's Zed is running perfectly
Mines like clockwork when i get a chance to drive it.It should be really after the money its cost.Not much else left to change in the engine bay.

Upgrading Brakes - EBC, 3G, DBA (Kangaroo paw) - HELP!!!!!!
So the fact that a larger disc will absorb heat better and reduce fade and the other factor that the pads are gripping the disc further from its axis giving more effort also wont sway you then :rolleyes:.

So what your saying then is the thousands of people worldwide who fitted r33 and 350 discs with relocated stock calipers are mistaken then that their brake performance has improved dramatically ?

GTO cambelt snapped!!
As Jeff states,nothing to lose as v6 engines camshafts can settle "off lobe" unlike 4 cylinder engines which will always keep a valve or valves open.so in theory it may have survived.

Mikey Beans not far from you.Im sure he could "work his magic" on it :mac1:

Look at this beauty-300ZX wide body-650BHP-most expensive show car
Well over priced maybe but getting bids of $45000 by the looks of it.Anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay.As long as peeps keeping saying that zeds dont fetch good money and are not worth much the e bay shitters changing hands for £1500 will drive down prices on the classier examples such as the ones owned by some members on here.

A hole in a sill is only an MOT failure if its within 30cm of any seatbelt fixing or a seat with a seatbelt fixed to it or any suspension/subframe component.That would explain why the rear was repaired and the front hole left.

HOW TO: Engine removal with detailed pictures
Leave the g/box in and drop the front crossmember to allow the sump past.When you lower the engine you can get your hands down the back to undo the four top bell housing bolts and release the earth strap and loom p clip.

Standard Fuel Pressure??
I wonder sometimes if back in the day even nissan couldnt fully explain their creation.Some of its technology was incredible when you think it was released around 1989 so would have been on the drawing board years before when cars were running very crude fuel injection systems etc.
-
Standard Fuel Pressure??
No i agree Mike.You never quite get the exact bit of info thats more relative to your particular problem.Drives you nuts dont it :rofl:

Standard Fuel Pressure??
Around 37 psi at idle.

Ferrari Enzo - Ferrari F430 - Ferrari F40?
Its just that a red ferrari is such a cliche.Lambos just seem to capture the supercar look better,the f40 was a real supercar but im not so sure of other ferrari attempts.Lambos are quirky and hard to live with as a true supercar should be.Ferraris seem to be owned by men that wear boating shoes and would tie a jumper over their shoulders instead of around the waist.

Any Royal Mail Employee's on the Forum?
Im praying for royal mails privatisation.I get parts shipped from the states on a regular basis.Whenever Royal mail parcelfarce get there mits on it i know im in for a long wait.Everytime i deal with them its a feckin nightmare.They think im clairvoyant and automatically know they have my parcel and wont release it till their stupidly inflated customs charges are paid.I never get a letter to tell me its in the country but they always say one was sent.Royal mail needs grabbing by the throat and shaking till it chokes.I say sack the strikers and have a huge forest fire to burn out the dead wood the company employs.rant over :rant:

Any Royal Mail Employee's on the Forum?
My take on it having worked for royal mail years ago is it needs to be dragged into this century.The company had a large amount of workshy lefty types who stood behind the union to keep their jobs.Royal mail is like the British leyland of the postage world and its employees have been dragging there feet as they know that when its modernised it wont be the wheeze it always was.The unions are claiming its about pay and conditions!! The local Depot in Bristol has a subsidised Gym,canteen,snooker tables !! And the Pops pension scheme is probaly the best youll get in the country.poor posties :mad:

A few questions (engine build)
The hole as stated will be for egt sensors.The restrictor MUST be fitted with ball bearing turbos to slow the oil flow or the turbos flood with oil which will past the rear seal and burn on the exducer.
