Just adding to the mountain of praise on here for Jim, but I couldn’t not drop a review after the work he’s just finished on my Z32. We all already know Jimmer is the go-to guy for these cars, but experiencing it firsthand is something else. He has given the car a completely new lease of life. That rough idle is entirely sorted, and with the new injectors and new loom in, it honestly runs just like it’s come straight from the factory. His insight and attention to detail live up to every bit of the hype on this forum. Communication was top-tier throughout, the turnaround was incredibly quick, and—as everyone always says—it was very well-priced for the level of specialist expertise you’re getting. Jim even checked in with me after I got the car back to make sure it was still running perfectly. Safe to say he’s found another return customer in me; I'm already planning the trip back down to Bristol next year for some new turbos. Just adding more reinforcement to what this community already knows: if your Z needs sorting, @jimmer is the man!

IGNORE THIS, ALL SORTED :)

Hey, My series 1 has died, it did well to be fair to it. Has anyone got a Series 2 for sale please? I can source pigtail conversion kits but not the actual unit in the UK.

Happy birthday mate @jimmer Liam G

Thanks @AndrewG - So would assume the knock sensor. Will look to reconnect the broken wire. Not sure if you can make out well on my picture but one wire is intact, while the one my finger is on is broken.

@vijay - "Head" was a typo on my phone, was fully meant to say "Heat" 😂

Thanks @Stephen & @AndrewG I've just done a first pass with contact cleaner and a flat head, I regained 2 cylinders but I believe I'm still 2 down. So leathered the ptu connections with contact cleaner and will let it drip dry, then try again. Interesting note, my PTU has been relocated to be next to the air intake. Assuming to avoid head cycles.... I have also just noticed this severed connection on a connector, any idea what it's for?...image to follow.

Ok, got her starting and running again. Only seems to be firing on 3 cylinders now though. New spark plugs, new coil packs obviously. Anything else to consider changing?

Yeah, that makes total sense haha. Will do that. How do I know I have a spark exactly without fuel?

@JaiKai - I'm at the point of having all the spark plugs out now. (Had to do it around work)... So the plan is to fit the new battery now, then crank it with the coils and spark plugs out. Is that right? When should I stop cranking?

Looks wet to me...

Just a case of cranking the engine with the spark plugs out I believe? - I'm learning as I go, be patient 😂

@JaiKai thanks for replying so quick mate. I'll check asap, how do I fix this if that is the case?

Hey guys, So yesterday, went to take out the Zed for a sunset drive, to be stopped in my tracks with it not starting. I realised through the horrible grinding type noise from the starter motor that there wasnt enough juice in the battery to crank. This morning, I've borrowed a mates jump pack. This is now where I'm confused. The car cranks with the jump pack, but no start? I thought maybe it wasnt getting fuel to pressed on the accelerator and I can smell fuel (not sure if this is relevant). No matter what, it wont start. I'm going to get a new battery anyway as this one is clearly knackered, maybe that will fix it - Does anyone have any idea's as to what's up though please?
