groover

Especially as the TT slam panel needs bits snipping here and there to fit an N/A

I love those vids, there are a few knocking about, still make me jump, even though you know whats coming lol

Cool, believe it or not, ive never been to a hockey match :laugh:

You could, if it wasnt for the deep shipping channel in the middle lol

I noticed you were on the thread you posted afterwards lol. When are you back down this way?

Done Paul:yes:

Paypal is instant lol Welcome back.

Ive built up the parts i need for my conversion over the last year, so have kept a large initial outlay down apart from £500 for the conversion parts: gearbox, flywheel, starter, brake master cylinder, front prop piece, the gear selector came with it, bellhousing cover plate. Since then bought a single lightweight prop, new clutch, gearbox mount, bushings for the gearstick and going for a lightweight flywheel next. Going to do it myself, but if i had the money in one hit, i would take it to zedworld. The wiring is straightforward http://pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.359 http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread.php?t=85616

Hi Anthony, I realise you are discussing your options, but please dont turn this into a for sale thread Cheers Graham

:lol: im on muso time, im used to being up all night when im gigging and cant seem to get back into a normal persons sleep pattern when im not working.

Its because im an insomniac :biggrin::ninja:

Hi Mate, yes the R 10 resistor on the back of the speedo board needs to be changed to 18k ohm, here is one write up http://tech.aus300zx.com/idial_install/recalibration.pdf I have another method on another hard drive, will post it up later, going to bed now lol

What a dingbat lol, before i edited my post, i wrote left hand side, ie: looking from the front of the car, then i thought i would simplify the answer and instead of saying left, i wrote passenger side :lol: never mind, im sure he will read the posts first :laugh:

I got some alcantara from ebay £24 for a metre sq, but its the wrong shade of grey for the alcantara i have:no:

Whats that ring thing on the spline? must have something to do with the problem lol

passenger side of the box, the lower pipe

No, Do as Jeff suggested, removing the lower oil cooler pipe to drain. If you just remove the sump, without draining, please video it :biggrin::lol::lol:

If the chip has a map which has raised the limit, then you should be fine, are you sure its not already de restricted? It would be best to get the car on consult ( diagnostics) to tell what chip its fitted with, will also tell you if it is restricted or not.

Uk clocks will get rid of the speed limiter, stage 3 chip= nothing if its still limited :whistling: The stages refer to the mods carried out, ie, exhaust, manifolds, air intake, uprated, injectors, turbos. The stage settings can be a bit misleading and open to interpretation to who is selling it. The car would need to be mapped to suit the mods you have and done by a pro, like John Dixon. If the ecu is chipped it would have also been de restricted as part of the mapping.

The gearbox holds about 5 litres of oil, but there will be acouple of litres in the torque convertor that wont come out

What would you advise to lubricate the parts in the bell housing before refitting to the car?

It is restricted, by the speedo, basically will only manage 112mph. You can buy a kph to mph convertor, attach to the rear of the dash, splice into the speed sensor feed and you will be delimited. Or change the resistor R10 on the board. The other way is to purchase a set of UK clocks and or have the ECU chipped. HTH

The best home made chips are always when your mother does them, i dont know why, ive tried to recreate it, come close, but never quite the same lol

If it hasnt got a sump plug, then its pumped or syphoned through the gearbox dip stick, which is where you would put new oil in too. You can get the syphon pipes with a valve on that you wiggle for it to work. Or take it to a garage with the facility to do it. There are several litres of oil in the sump, so i wouldnt just go and undo all the nuts lol, you and everything else will be covered.

Take a look at the link in thread 20 i posted, they have cut the pipes and reconnected using hose and jubilee clips, eliminates the pain of undoing the bolt in the firewall that holds the pipes in place.
