fitting LHD engine loom/ harness in RHD car
The loom isnt that bad with the engine in place and the bulkhead grommet aint that bad to get at with the battery out.The nause part is the inside.Undoing the loom clamp behind the heater box is fiddly as fook unless you have small hands.Well worth doing in my opinion and worth the money.

If you are thinking of doing your own rebuild
Yeh no probs mate.

If you are thinking of doing your own rebuild
The guide was great till it got to the "dont skimp on liquid gasket".Liquid gasket is great stuff but has to be applied correctly.large beads on joints can come adrift inside an engine and block oil ways causing seizure.:wack:

Boost leak
Thats probaly the most common boost leak youll find on a zed.easiest tool to tighten the D/side is an 8mm hose clip screw driver with a flexible shaft.The nissan clips are 8mm but they may have been changed to jubliees which are 7.

Im growing some of these. Maybe I shouldnt lol
Isnt the reserve over £150 a bottle.Am i right thats the one that is just crystals its so concentrated.One grain would cause burns to your tongue.When i first tried Blairs mega death sauce i thought i had a urine infection as it even burned taking a p*ss after!!

Im growing some of these. Maybe I shouldnt lol
Blairs sauces from the states are mental if anyone fancies a go.I have a bottle of a million scoville "Mad dogs revenge" which is the size of a nail varnish bottle but takes 14lbs of chillies boiled down to make.A teaspoon of it is mental in a curry.I find it hard to believe that was a naga chilli as youd probaly vomit when it hit your stomach as that much concentration would be dodgy in one go.

Continuous smoking
If it smokes all the time it sounds like your piston or ring lands have gone.Have you had a compression test done?

Replacing my lifters
Youll need deep pockets for lifters.Oem ones are over £500 a set.They can be refurbed yourself if you have the time.The link for doing them yourself is on here somewhere.If your doing them do all of them.Id say its about a good days work to do them or thereabouts.

Bubuche need help, engine broken...
That almost certainly looks like detonation damage.You need to get to the bottom of the cause or it will happen again.

Overheated (again) this time temp gauge fine?
If your dipstick is coming out and spraying the battery with oil its time to do a compression test.You may have piston/ring land failure.
