096 Battery just gone in mine at £46 with a 3 year warranty.... Fits with No Issues.... Just need to make sure terminals on top are right way round and it isn't too high to fit without touching bonnet when closed... All my earth, starter and ignition wires were replaced a few years go and are now long enough to fit which ever way round the + & - are on mine....

I think Richard knows I love him really.......And my Aunt Maud is lovely..... apart from the moustache.....lol I use a company Called Elmsleigh engineering in Benfleet, Essex... 2 old boy's who have been reworking engines all their life..... They are used by all the local mechanics for rebores and machining..... Highly recommended by everyone round here..... And they are very reasonably priced.... Last time I had heads skimmed it was £15 for a pair......lol When I get round to building a big BHP engine, they will be doing any machine work for me....

You smell of oranges and have a moustache like my aunt Maud! Is that personal enough??.......lol

lol........... I knew my 16 month old had a purpose in life....... "Get behind my dash and don't come out till you've done it!"

I did mine for about the 4th time recently.... I did it separated with the plenum off..... I stupidly forgot to do the egr delete before fitting engine back in.... But I did get all the bolts back in apart from one.... the drivers side one that goes through the transmission dipstick mounting bracket.... I still need to get to this one and forgot about it, till I read this thread......lol It took me under an hour to get the engine from my stand into the bay on my own.... I wrapped the front upper wings and cross member with old cardboard boxes just to protect it.... Both turbo's on and forgot to undo the steering knuckle..... managed to clear it with some jiggling.....lol I had a jack under the transmission to adjust the angle..... I think I was lucky as it lined up and slid in place pretty quickly..... Gets easier with practice....... Wonder how quick Jeff can fit one??...... 5 minutes is my guess......lol

Happy Birthday Yold git..............lol........:happybday::happybday:

I should be getting ready for a 24hr shift............lol

So that is where you learned to repair things Jeff......lol.......

Those were the day's.... over the woods.... climbing trees..... riding bikes and NO health and safety crap...... Children were children.... we laughed more, fell over and didn't scream and cry..... we just got on with it..... We rode bikes and tried to jump brooks and streams with racers.... No mountain bikes for us.... Many a time I was face down in the local stream, soaking wet, but killing myself laughing.....

PMSL this a must read If you are 40 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious shite about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... barefoot... BOTH ways Yadda, yadda, yadda And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of s**t like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of forty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a F***ING UTOPIA! And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the bloody library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!! There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take, like, a week to get there! Stamps were 5 pence! Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick the s**t out of us! Nowhere was safe! There were no MP3' s or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and f**k it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished and the tape would come undone. Cause - that's how we rolled, dig? We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mum, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister! We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen... forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! NO REMOTES!!! There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you SPOILED LITTLE RAT BA****DS!! And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had to use the cooker! Imagine that! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled. You little ar**holes wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1970 or before! Regards, Grumpy Gang (Pass this to someone you'd like to make smile, Whether they are under 40 or not.)

You would be more than welcome............. I owe so many of you for the help you have given me....... maybe I can start sharing the love.....lol MikeyBean......... Not that kinda love.........lol

I wish.....lol...... but I know a man who does very well......lol I am serious that I want this available to all the forum members to use...... I am going to try to get the uncle to see if there is a battery pack for it at his work....... :wink: If not then i will rebuild it with fresh rechargeable cells.....

I used to use it when I worked for local Nissan dealers.... and the uncle is their Hitech still..... so hopefully he can pop round mine and get mine checked over and set up now she runs.....lol

MEMWOAHHHHH :tt2:...... been after one for ages...... I should have kept the one I had at work years ago..... but they had to return it to nissan..... I want to test it and then it is open for use for any forum member who wants to pop round and use it..............

Sorry to hijack thread, but is it worth ceramic coating oem manifolds? And if so, who is good to do this process?? Cheers Russ

Tried them and decided they weren't good enough on reception for my liking..... You would be better with the same as FunkySi's ...... I would use a Hirschman roof mount with built in amplifier..... they work really well and I will be adding one soon.....

Is it sealed battery? If not might be low on fluid..... Distilled water top up? Try charging again if this is the case..... If not and it is either sealed of doesn't need topping up...... either the charger isn't charging properly or the battery is duff..... most battery suppliers will have a drop tester..... this will show the amps.... they should remove the caps to check if each cell in the battery bubbles..... if it does then it's knackered.... Eurocarparts were doing a few deals recently.... about 25% off I think.....

Happy Birthday.....:happybday:

Hi Darkside TT, well done mate...... nice to hear you have another Z...... Look forward to seeing your progress...... Russ

Just watched this and thought I would share....... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1380939872142770

Well here is the promised bit of video.......http://s208.photobucket.com/user/veilside01702/media/She%20lives/2013-10-04-308.mp4.html The video doesn't show how loud the exhaust actually is...... And yes I have just replayed the video and seen some blue smoke too..... Hopefully just cleaning out the crap from sitting there for a while........... Hopefully...... The viscous fan arrived today, but having to go to work now..... So tomorrows job is fan and shrouding.........
