Mark

My thoughts exactly..... a knackered injector perhaps?? :confused:

And at the end of the day mate, its just a fooking bunch of wires connected to engine components.......the engine ECU and loom looks like a piece of piss out on the ground, trust me......give me a good length of wire and I could create one..... ;)

I'll be there in me fooked zed! :D

Whoa mate, hold your horses a sec, heres some positive thoughts for you before you start stripping everything off again. Quote= "yep tested that, and no spark.. checked the coil pack, (got 24 of the dam things ) thats readin the right impedance. (around 0.8 - 0.9 ohm) even checked the PTU. but it gives me some funny results! like no ground but it still works on all the other coil packs! i conna work this out! " What gives you funny results mate? The coilpack or the PTU? The PTU can be held resposible for a multitude of sins, ie.strange responses when somethings not quite right. Try changing the PTU for a different (proved working on another car) one. For the sake of £70!. And then check the readings again? You havent spoken about the condition of your loom? Would you put your hand on your heart and say the looms spot on? I know mine wasnt after 15 years service, it was fooked to say the least. Also, try a donor ECU, are your injectors standard or upgraded? For the PTU and ECU you could drive to jeffs and he'd loan you one to rule them out the equation..... I am betting its one of these at fault or the loom...what else is there?!?

The metal clip has to be raised at the back of the clip, a few of the injector ones are a right ballache and if your connectors are old then odds on your gonna trash your connectors.... I got so pi55ed off with them all amost breaking, I replaced the whole bloody loom!!! Porbably the best thing I ever did for my car. As has already been mentioned, make sure you have a magnet at the back and if the connectors break, dont be surprised.... Good luck..

Have you tested the coilpack on Cylinder 1? Check your getting a spark and also check the plug is OK.... Its gonna be a process of elimination......if all else fails, give jeff @ z-edworld a call...

I know it doesnt look overly ferocious but I think thats the point with Astons, this car is now my aim for within the next 3 years.... They should drop a little by then too, not too much though I expect.... I really want the Vanuish but the cheapest one I could find was £83,995!!! Worth every penny.... :)

This is going for £27K....Droooooolllll........ :D Very tempting.......

OH MY GOD, is it real?!? Doesnt look it!..... I still feel sick though looking at it....

Bubuche Thats a good question and also in the diagram it colour coldes the wire as Y/L. Whats the 'L' stand for? Lilac? :) Any ideas Lymon? Thanks in advance...

I see, thanks for that.... ;) Where can I locate PIN44? Are you referring to PIN44 on the ECU?

Lymon I have carried out this conversion and you've got me wondering whether I did this? I made a custom loom from the gearbox to the connector next to the power steering pot. 2 wires were needed AFAIK, one for the reversing lights and the other for the speed sensor.... Are you saying I've missed something? :confused:

Yeah I diddnt ignore your last comment about the V8 Mark its just that I kinda feel the 'Twin Turbo' is a mark of the 300zx. Kinda like its styling, whats the point of radically changing the style if u love the 300. Some bodkykits completely take the car away from being what it is\was. IMO, a car like Macca's has been enhanced by the work he's done whereas a car like CJ's, as nice as it is!, doesnt resemble a Zed in my eyes anymore....but hat off to him for individuality... And I feel that way about the twin turbo too, if I wasnt bothered about keeping with the Z32 way, then definately I would consider a V8 or probably buy something else in place....a nice TVR or Aston's are getting cheaper now! :) (One day! DREAM) I hope I have explained myself well enough and not sounded like a fool.....even though I know your right Mark in regards to the heartache with the path I am choosing, I cant help feeling its the right one to take..... Wish me luck! :)

Thanks mate, VERY usefull.... :D I have never used one before but how the hell can 4 bolts hold such a heavy engine?!? You know when you look at something and you have that feeling that its gonna break any second, isnt it a bit like that?!? Where do the bolts go into on the engine?

LMAO, well I dont know any *AHEM*sailors*AHEM* to help but I do have a few friends willing to do a quick lift for a pint... :) Although, it'll be in the back of a Van, couldnt I connect the engine to the stand whilst its still in the van? Or am I dreaming? :nana2:

For the sake of £50 and theres one in Leicester, this'll do I think! :D Got a new custom workbench going into the garage soon too, all very exciting.....

Cheeky! ;)

Hi Alex, At least I now know what it is so I can now fix it.....sounds silly but it was a relief to know..... The engine is def going to be increased in capacity and the cryogenic procedure sounds almost essential for a higher spec engine.....its just trying to find someone in the UK that can do it for me....

Thanks for that John, I am worried about warranty issues with buying in the US, a UK engine component reseller would be more beneficial..... I just need to find the time to search...... :smash: Although do you see any problem buying the components from the US, ie. rods, pistons, cams etc etc....

Hello mate, Feel free to pop up whenever you like, its been a while... :) I'll look into the chargecooler stuff although I already have trust side mount coolers to go on which should be good enough for 500bhp.... Heatwise, I have quite a few ideas in mind, including a vented bonnet (essential on a zed!), new front bumper to go on with vented wings, bigger rad and a few other bits.... Let me know when you want to come up and I'll get the Soup and Porkie pies in! :D

Guys Anyone know the approx weight of a zeds engine? I need to know so I know which stand to buy, they seem to come in 2 main weight categories: 750lbs(340kg), 1000lbs(450kg) and 1500lbs(680kg). I am guessing the 1000lbs stand will do... Any ideas? TA

And wheres your air filters? :eek:

Nice piece of kit there karlos, where'd you get them? And dont you need two AFM?

WOW, thats a really good site...... I forse a large crate coming over... :D

Ah, thanks for that SRRAE, I believe the ACT Stage 3 clutch I have is good for 500bhp so that should suffice for now......one less thing to buy.... So, I guess I need to overhaul the box or is it possible just to sort out the gear crunching with an overhaul kit?
