Difference in performance.
Its quite shocking when the boost is upped.They are 'quite lively' as stock, but afterwards theres an almost instant responsiveness right through the rev range, which i didnt expect + gentle throttle control in the wet becomes crucial. Usually its when im joining the motorway + accelerate at 60+ mph it all goes very sideways in the rain. I've No plans on going back to stock though...

zx headgasket common
I would say mine is boringly reliable, starts hot or cold first go + the only grief i get is sweaty palms in the rain..... but thats tempting fate. I think most problems are a lack of maintenance, abuse + age. I'm now looking out of the window, waiting for a wheel to fall off.. :wack:

To quote the mechanic: It's f**ked, the whole lot's f**ked.
I've welded more cars than i care to think about, the most important part if doing any diy welding is not setting it on fire, also remember.... dont set it on fire.lol.Really satisfying to do it yourself+ fully weld all panels. If you cant, or dont know any good welders get a few quotes as its amazing the difference in prices. needs to be done properly , by repairing inner+ outer panels, not just covering it up. On a normal car i wouldn't bother with second hand suspension bits,but with a zed the parts get upgraded just because they can be, rather than because the bits are knackered,hence easy to get good stock parts.. Oh yes, dont set it on fire!!

I use any good 10w40 + change it probably too often.Cheap engine insurance.

first problem with new car
i found a soft nail brush + a mild carpet cleaner worked wonders on grubby cream leather seats.Had to do it twice, then a good vacuuming. Even left them soft afterwards.The stuff was called 'rad'.

Bad Day
Dump the oil + look at it + the filter. If its full of tiny bits of metal, get looking for another engine.

A/C removal
I find a zed an annoyingly hot place to be in the summer without it, big hot engine never blows cool air out. Are the front seats electric? The difference between them + manually adjustable is massive.

300zx vs 750 v12 bmw
Still think the beemers a fast sofa. I had the pleasure of hearing a porshe carrera driver asking me 'what the hell is that ?' you vanished off the roundabout(he was right behind me)+ i couldn't keep anywhere near you'. 'er, its an 18 years old nissan 300zx ' :hyper: cue open mouthed 'catching flies look' :rofl:

Misfire - have I got faulty injector
I used the dremel method on a previous zed.With top quality tools, you dont have to remove masses of plenum. just enough to get straight on the screws, Little bop on the end with a hammer + they undo easy. Mine took a bit of a wiggle + twist to get out + some vaseline eased the new one back in.

Zed no more
Ouch. Amazing what can be walked away from, if your lucks in. Yours definitely was :eek:

Black stone cherry
Yup, they did an astounding acoustic version, got the whole place singing. Never knew they could play so many different styles, slow acoustic up to hard fast amazing rock. They also took the time after the event to come outside the apollo and meet and greet and THANK all the fans who wanted to talk to them, never heard of that before..they do it all the time though we first saw them supporting Nickleback.another astounding band.

300zx vs 750 v12 bmw
The 750 is a great way to go fast in comfort, with your nan in the back! but compared to a TT manual? pfft, get outta my way grandpa.

Help identifying which turbo smokes..
I've been to look at a zed TT tonight that has the occasional bit of smoke at idle + sometimes on startup to see why it does it....It has had the pcv valves done.Does not always smoke, hard to say exactly if it was blue or grey? My problem is, its got a balance bar between the exhausts. Any simple ways to tell? Remove the inlet to turbo pipe? :confused:
