Surgery looming??
Hi Anthony, I don't know what to say really that will be any help...... As Roobarb said, at least you might be more comfortable at home..... Maybe he will decide to get the operation done sooner?

What did you do to your zed today?
Well been at it again all day..... Fitted upper turbo pipes..... shiny Injen ones...... Ran wiring and vacuum pipe for Profec B ...... Filled engine with a total of 4 litres of 10w 40 semi synthetic oil and primed the turbo's and oil cooler...... Refilled the power steering system with Dexron II.... Topped up the transmission with a bit of fluid........ Filled Radiator with some new coolant...... Ran new earthing wires to loads of points on engine and Transmission.... Fitted Battery and Tray....... Refitted one of my amplifiers for the front speakers..... Tidied up some wiring on engine loom...... Oh and cranked the engine over a few times to get oil where it needs to go before starting...... Tomorrow is going to be plenum back on and try to get as much done as possible before my shift starts....... Oh and nearly forgot....I touched in marks in the satin black engine bay and touched in plenum's paintwork...... Polished the inside of my throttle bodies, polished balance bar, polished chrome pipe on N/S of plenum for Idle control.....

Jae 2014.....
Snap Richard......... I AM GOING TO JAE IN 2014...... I can't miss another year....... I can't believe I missed every single show this year..... Next year is every single show..... Do we have a list of every show date for next year please????? It's typical that for the past 6 years I have been able to go to the events due to having untold free time, but had no money due to ill health and No Z to go in....... Now I start work again, I get the Z on the road and will probably be working for all the shows knowing my luck........

Oil capacity with new filter, oil lines and cooler?????
Well filled the engine with 4 ltrs of 10w 40 semi synthetic........ in total..... Filled the power steering reservoir to cold level with Dexron II....... Topped up Transmission with the little bit left in the bottle as cooler and lines had drained out when engine came out years ago..... will probably need more, but waiting to get the engine running first to see how much is left in there..... Plenum is off still, fuel line is routed back to the tank via the return pipe..... so it won't wash the bores or fire..... Fitted battery and went to crank it over and Nothing........ dash lights, no starter..... no click..... nothing.... Got worried that I had forgotten something or the starter had died..... Then found the connector undone behind the drivers headlight unit that goes to the starter solenoid..... plugged it in and hey presto...... cranked over for 30 seconds, waited 10-30 minutes, then again........ Done that 4 times now.... going to check oil level tomorrow morning when I get a chance to do more.... I also filled the radiator with Long life coolant..... I spent ages trying to find distilled water to use, but could only find de-ionised water..... and was told they are different and to only use distilled...... Especially as I am in a very hard water area.........

Finishing engine install......
Well ran new earth cable all over rear of engine..... Replaced the corroded earth strap from the fuel rail with nice earth cable and crimped connectors.... I ran all earth leads from where the battery earth is bolted to the firewall..... 1st lead to the top bolt on the auto transmission...... 2nd Lead goes to the cam sensor bolt on passenger side then daisy chains over to the same bolt on drivers cam sensor.... I also used heat shrink on every crimp terminal to get a better seal and try to slow down the corrosion that usually occurs.... I have also replaced the corroded main earth from the car with a bit of 2 gauge audio grade Earth Cable and also did the live to the starter while I was there..... I used gold plated audio Battery clamps to fit them..... Another job jobbed........

latest
I did some on a few cars years ago and found it was best to light them up from behind when spraying so you don't get runs.... They can look great from the outside and then you see the runs when you light them up, or uneven paint thickness..... I used to do the indicators with a light fitting in the unit and run off a 12v power supply..... Hope you don't mind me chipping this in to the discussion......lol Russ

Project 300zx car seat base.
Nice work there mate..... I like this idea having 2 small and valuable passengers myself........lol But I am too busy to make these, so I will just stick them in the boot under the targa straps..... if they are safe enough to store the targa roof's without them breaking, they are safe enough for me kids........ :whistling::biggrin:
