Prepare car for long trip
would agree with andy, if you are stripping it down far enough to do a cambelt change then to do the waterpump, thermostat and the two rubber pipes between the head and the top metal rad pipes only makes sense

Searching for chavs....
Only way you should search for chavs is with a strong light, and a 12 bore :)

AIV Quick Fix?
To be honest I don't find the AIV removal that much of a hassle, and I tend to go further than the accepted write up by removing the plastic tanks around the indicator and the solenoid. But I do like ripping stuff out my car :):)

Big thanks to Jock !!!!
Happy to help bud, thank your M&D for the lovely tea :)

Help with Exhaust problem
If you want to go the whole 9 yards, the wires go to a black box behind the handbrake underneath the centre console, just unplug the box, rip out the wires :)

Removing exhaust and decat downpipes
a 3ltr v6 without a pipe is going to be a noisy b'stard

So just how fast does it go?
standard 0-60 is around seven I think. iTs unlikely you will get a trade in against a TT, most guys looking to sell their cars are looking for cash rather than a trade in.

EBAY seller warning...
If the thread had descended into character assassination, it would have been locked. The thread was originally posted, as others have, to warn of a potential problem with an ebay transaction. Everybody in the club has the right to post a warning as long as they do not slander anyone. In the same vein DaveC had the right to answer, and your self and others have the right to rally to his defence. The thread was, and is being monitored, and the appropriate action would have been taken if neccesary. Regards Hugh

When selling a zed engine...
The one I bought didnt have a sump or plenum, but it did cost me £70 :)

Is this a Chav?
hat is right, but looks too intelligent to be a chav :)

555 injectors
Not a problem buddy. I did make a mistake tho, I wrote 370 injectors whilst yours, as an NA, runs 270cc. But again on the wet kit , I dont see it running short.
-
Sellin' Stuff?
If it is simply parts from your zed you can place them in the for sale section. If however you are selling parts from zeds as a business, we have traders on the board who do that and we dont allow any unauthorised trading.

Brake lines
I think that it depends on whether you specify to goodridge, or whoever your supplier is, that you want the line locators. Certainly the goodridge brake lines I had didnt have them, but I have seen some that do. The clutch cables I got had line locators and they were goodridge

555 injectors
I would imagine so bud, but wouldnt swear to it. Maybe one of the other guys can say??? But I would get the pressure checked while you trigger the petrol solenoid for the nos (point the hose into a milk bottle or something rather than fire it into the cylinder) IIRC it should be 43 psi at idle

why do zeds continually try to ruin you??
Yeah, couldn't pay me enough to do that "job" either:)

Have I bought a Dog?
The wobbly gear stick is probably the gear stick bushings cost about a fiver from Nissan, but are a pain to change. :) Behind the passenger side wheel area is a joint in the power steering pipe which goes from fleible to metal pipe, it may well be that thats leaking. Low fluid, or someone who has just topped it up without bleeding the system would cause it to whine at full lock. Truth is, it is not a 220bhp car. the car was advertised as 220 bhp at the crank, not the wheels, you will probably be running about 180 at the wheels. De-restriction, an induction kit and a nice pipe and a chip will make it feel 10 times better and sound about a hundred times better. You can tune it further than that but its a good start. The chime is a silly box behind the clocks, easy to remove, just unplug and play :) Try ztech in the traders forum for a specialist near Herts. :)

can anyone fit a heater matrix in
you think thats a bitch, wait till you try the ones on the matrix

I have come out the closet
Yup, that'd worry me too :eek:

Help
bobby, I would suggest as you are very close to ztech (on the traders forum) you might want to let ryan have a look for you.

I have come out the closet
I cant tell if a wind up or not, but will say that if chris has stood up to be counted then fair play to him. Just please tell me that there willbe no avatars of grossly overweight blokes draped over your car :)

555 injectors
If you are running a wet kit (which I think I remember you are) then bigger injectors wont make any difference, the fuel you need to compensate for the nitrous is delivered by your Soleniods, not the injectors. And if you are not running a wet kit, it will only make a difference if you increase thefuel maps in your ecu. As putting bigger injectors in, by themselves (presuming you are changing the ecu to suit) wont actually change the amount of fuel you are putting in your system (if you dont change the ecu, you will be massively overfuelling). The only difference the bigger injectors make is how hard they have to work to deliver a given amount of fuel and the maximum amount of fuel they can deliver. ie if 370cc injectors work at 80% to give you X amount of fuel then 555cc (in theory) will have to work around 50% and because they are bigger the maximum flow rate will be proportionatly greater. IIRC 370's are supposed to pan out around the 450 bhp mark, so if you are running "near as dammit 400", you should be fine. Particularly if the fuel for the nos is not going through the injectors (wet kit). My only concern would be , in the wet kit scenario, if you fuel pump is delivering fuel to the solenoids and the injectors, is it robbing the injectors of fuel pressure? This would cause the injectors to deliver less fuel that the ECU thinks they are, because the fuel pressure is lower than the ECU presumes. As always I stand to be corrected :)
