fitted one to my Z ages ago, got kit off ebay easy to fit, i put the circlip on top of the top gaitor as it holds it down and shows more of the polished shaft.

Ok i accept my drivers turbo is buggered lol, guess its pull the engine time again, glad its not that bad a job, thanks for your help guys.

you might want to check your oil pump when i took mine off it was ****ed the steel gears wear the ally casing, oil pressure is fine until tick over and normal running temp, then gauge drops to nothing.

have you not seen how the intake cam timing system works oil pressure and spinny disc sensors lol, i know the core engine is basic but all the extras they added to make it more advanced than everyone elses well really i ask ya lol

turbomad1, had block and heads checked when they were boaring out the block was well in tolerance am starting to belive its that one turbo thats at fault, but still the zx is more fun than trouble lol

am going to print out the manual in work and just check everything found some line diagrams of the pipes, and will pull the exhaust off tomorrow night, cheers steve have your number will let you know.

bought oversized pistons and had the block machined to fit the old pistons had picked up and scored the bores so i went oversized and had the bores cross hatched so thats all ok, just been going throu my service manual disc,how complicated did nissan need to make this engine lol

yeah went to hib exhausts on anglesey for full system thinking would release power only to find hollow cats.

fitted all new stem seals, and no oil on valves when i stripped them down pistons were knackered so thought that was the problem had low compression on 2 and 6 rings were knackered so fitted new set pistons and all seemed well for 7 days then back to how it was before

hi stevemochan, is your pipework as in boost control and vacume pipes to the small valves standard as this is what i need to look at first just to make sure theres nothing wrong there,and please dont say the T word, they looked and felt allright when i stripped the engine and manifolds down,think i will have to strip exhaust off and elbow to have another look, how much for your turbos?

got car back on road christmas day smoke started yesterday well noticable anyway done 300 miles so far running it in oil level has dropped to halfway between level marks,smoke is oil smoke am a mechanic have seen lots of times lol

ahh forgot to say only smoking from the driver bank of pistons my car has twin separate exhaust system and no egr removed and sealed during rebuild.

Hello need help, just rebuilt my engine new oversized pistons,mains,bigends and all gaskets,checked turbos all ok,running the car in now but has started smoking again just like before (the reason i stripped it down) it has new pcv valves. Not sure if all monifold pipes are back on properly as it was a while between stripping and rebuilding my Z but runs ok tickover is normal and stable. And if no one can help, does anyone want to buy a zx only smokes on tickover lol.
