well when i get the water pipes done ill see if the mec notices anything else funny regarding the vac, wasties etc.. maybe i will be lucky and he finds the culprit. If not then il try to get to zedworld (wish they were essex based :)

All of you have been great help and i really want to take it there its just i'm worried about the trip :-( Obviously i must try and bite the bullet but i am hoping that connecting the wastegates or solenoids will fix the problem. although i feel like it won't. I have already taken the boost jets out that were in there when i purchased it so i am thinking he had a boost controller and didnt connect the pipes when he took it out previous to selling. argh i wish i had a trailer :( or some friends for that matter

well done on doing this. my hands to you on doing this task. I have heard its good to remove them but i don't know how or the why's. Either way that must have taken some time lol

also to note although i said it is like the engine is hesitating as opposed to boost i have no problems and a code 55

Santa doesnt think it is a boost leak big enough to warrant this as it only does it at a certain point. it has no problem building boost but if it is on the highest it will go for more than 7 seconds it drops and builds up again. ALmost like the engine stops pulling for a seconds then proceeds to redo the same. I have tried so manu things and just cant find it... I am worried ill never have this engine run the way it should (like my old zed). Driving in santas made mine feel so underpowered. His felt quicker than mine without using boost :(

unfortunatly i know no one with a trailer or anyone that would go that far with me :( frankly................... i'm stuffed

hmmmm.... never done a 3 hour journey in the zed yet with the way it runs ......... might be interesting

is that in tamworth? ill have to see what the miles will be :)

Ok so a change of plan has happened again. I am fed up with not driving the car whilst I save up for engine rebuild and after not starting it for 3 months my new plan is: *Fix leaking pipe at rear of engine and start driving around again *Save up for manual gearbox in the meantime. *once I have bought the manual gearbox then I will look at saving for engine rebuild and upgrade. My existing problem is the one I have had since buying the car………. Unknown hesitation under full load at higher speeds of 60+. When I get this mechanic to change pipes for me is there anything I can ask him to look at? Santa and I noticed that the wastegate seems to be unplugged wrong (or something like that). Other posters having hesitation problems or wastegate problems only mentioned that they could not get extended boost…. Mine seems to attempt this however when the fault occurs it simple judders for a second and then starts to build the boost up again… Is this normal and what other things should I vigorously check this weekend? I am desperate to nip this in the bud and have the car running standard for once in my ownership. Done various tests and balance tests which showed fine and no one on the forums seems to know what is wrong (which can’t be helped as they havnt seen the car) Please please please help me nip this in the bud once and for all… I am even prepared to travel if someone will look over my car (live in Essex) but this will be in 2 weeks (payday)

sounds good man. if your aroun then that would be handy. will provide beer money ofcourse! Need to catch up and go for a curry too!!!!!!!!

ok ill have to try and persuade the mrs. Its cause i recently told her around £400 as i misread it (the incomplete one) and she said yes.. now i need to say can we add another £300.. :-( my other plan is to sell the autobox (which works) then i can fund the manual gearbox (car is not moving anywhere for now) but i have no idea how to drop the autobox with the engine in :-( i am going to try this weekend to drop the autobox however most likely will struggle on my own and i heard the engine needs to be raised aswell :-( if i need to raise the engine then i might aswell get the engine stand this week so i can do both in one go whilst hiring crane... unless anyone can lend me a crane? Hey santa, long time no speak!

hello, Not been in touch recently due to pulling my car of the road to rebuild. I am still looking for a manual Gearbox conversion kit. I have seen an ad for quite a low price that says this: 300zx manual gearbox for sale good condition comes with brake pedals, clutch pedals, clutch and brake mastercylinder removed from 3.0 twinturbo 300zx vg30dett Ideal for manual conversion for your 300zx due to size and weight collection only will only post at buyers cost cash on collection prefered . what else would i need to make this kit complete? cheers all

result.............. monkey island release for iphone (legit) so downloaded this classic which works really well with the iphone set up. shame its a fiver

not only that but hammonds one did 105k miles... where did this one get 54k miles so quickly?

wikipedia.. but i provided link for you :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LucasArts_adventure_games i highly recommend you find monkey island series and grim fandango.. Very hilarious and crude in some... but the adult humor put in these franchises is top notch (monkey island especially)

lucas arts do the best point and click games so it miht be worth wiki'ing lucas arts point and click to get a breakdown of games and story for each

use the mouse to point and then click :) as in no keyboards needed... makes very chilled out (lazy) gaming..... often in the adventure and puzzle category

i love point and click.. waiting for the new monkey island to come out (or should i see remake) and the other episodes which are being made. Grim fandango..... now THAT'S a brilliant game. Broken sword is good but not my favorite... i am still trying to find sam and max as ive heard it another good'un. i have other classics here called full throttle and the dig so guess i am just as sad. other than that i am constantly on Modern warfare online games... waiting for number 2 :)

cheers for the tip again santa. Will hopefully get round to doiong it but i have so much to do before i even get the existing crap out from the garage.. I can't believe it has been nearly a month since i have even started the zed.... its been siting there locked the whole time... I'm itching to get a start but with so much house work to do still.................... by the way did you want to borrow my alloys? might aswell get some use and you can just plonk yours on mine whilst they sit let me know bud

drfinately not him as far as i remember :( definately had stock rear boot instead of the tub

hmmm. i guess once i see its ass then ill be able to comment more :)

ahhh. i was thinking that it would be like tarp or a blanket of some sort... but atleast i now have more options :) cheers

well there goes that one then :)

just another question... what kind of cheap but effective material can i use to place on the garage floor to stop the damp rising from the concrete? cheers
