BB was just a freakshow in the end with he shes and shims :hurl: The long nights will drag now its gone.:rolleyes:

As long as and only if other peeps are not put out this would suit me better.If nobody objects then another date would be great.Zogg can run and so can you Murt :D.All depends on responses and Circuits bookings.

Rad brackets for £50!!! :shock: Dan having a sale is he.Paid more than that for mine.And from a Uk supplier :nelson:.

Paid £2600 for mine in 2005.jdm manual fresh in the country.Was cheap then for a manual tt.It did have blown engine though.Prolly spent 6k since or maybe more.Lost count.Bit cheaper when you do all the work yourself though.

Is that clutch struggling under the strain now bud?

I think Murt worked out how to fit them.If only i could find the pictures :mac1:

Why dont you check for error codes first before wading in and buying a new ptu.Diagnosis by replacement is an expensive hobby.Youll kick yourself if it turns out to be dirty connection which needed cleaning up.What i find bizarre is it made 100miles then died.You waited 15 minutes then it started everytime since.A zeds engine bay wont lose much temperature in 15 minutes.The reason the ptus fail when hot is because of joins inside that fracture then expand under heat so the circuit is broken.Worth a look.Ptu,s do fail but its not as common as people make out.I know of loads of cars running series ones that have never missed a beat.Mine included.

Interiors a bit cluttered with the stuff strapped to the console etc.Bumper has lights like an evo.

Just found this on e bay.Nice series 3 in silver.Dont recognise the bumper,im undecided if i like it or not.Nice tidy car though. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRESH-IMPORT-1996-NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-MANUAL_W0QQitemZ250486324570QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item3a5225fd5a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

My advice is to leave the box in the car.Once you lower the engine a few inches on the front crossmember you can get down the back and undo the four top bell housing bolts and the harness "p" Clip fixed at the back of the block.Ive done both ways over the years and the box in method is far easier imho.

Well done Vince,Is the trophy bling enough for you or does it need chroming?

Unless you can get the car for a steal id stay away from crash damaged cars.The bottom has fell out of the salvage market.All the firms around here are right on their arses as nobody is buying them as the purchase price plus the cost to repair works out more than buying a straight one.One of our local salvage companies was trade only and you had to register to buy is now e baying cars in desperation.

A post on here recently had a link to a tuning company who dyno,d a bmw with various higher octane fuels. Tesco 99 beat the optimax.It kept its octane rating for longer and the guy rated it highly.

What fan set up you running,have you had the viscous removed and an electric one put on in its place? Is the cooling system being pressurised by combustion gas?

Zed handbrakes are bad and wouldnt do a lot anyway.Youd probaly break the shoes hold down springs with the load so i wouldnt bother personally.Drift cars handbrakes are hydraulic and work on the caliper so you can lock the back wheels at crazy speeds.

Am i right in saying that the vauxhall 1.9 diesel is the renault engine.If it is then they are good for high miles.My old man had a 52 plate laguna 1.9 with 217,000 on it,he sold to a mate and its still happy as larry now.

So you dont think the air having more surface area to cool the rad is going to be beneficial then ?

i think your confusing the expansion tank dipstick with the engines Mikey.The expansion tank dipsticks tend to get brown and stained.

:rofl: aww go on!! let me trash it.I want to put a rope around it,tie it to a tree and drive backwards.

Its not due back just in time for the 5th of september dyno day by any chance :rolleyes:

If your trailering the car home can i destroy the veilside bumper.its hideous.i wore a bag driving it the other day :rofl:

If your cars lost its mojo mate,chances are since you cleaned the connectors one is not readable by the ecu causing safety boost.Check your ecu codes.

Dont do it Al,Before you know it youll be playing squash on fridays with a bloke called Gerald.You will develop a taste for wine and go to wine bars where you will socialise instead of getting mullered at yer local.

At least with the heads off you can admire those shiny new pistons a bit longer.Always seems a shame to cover them up.Something about shiny new engine parts.I love em :D

Celery !! .devils rhubarb more like.
