Why would you say that mate? That mark above the top valve on the bottom cylinder? To be truthful I havent paid much attention to it. Stuart

There are loads of hoses. Which ones are you after? The ones that goes from the sump to the turbo?

1. What reg is your Cleo? Sometime the automatic choke can actually stick open. Or it did on my old Astra. 2. I have never really noticed ;) 3. 300zx.com sell the polly engine mounts. I think they are the same cost as the standard ones or if not, very similar 4. Dont know about my balls but im fecking knackered.

Nope I dont :(

Started here, finished here and here with various stages throughout ;)

No its the camera. All digital camera struggle with certain colours. Its the white balance. You have to get that perfectly right first. It comes out this colour when you use the flash

The engine is old mate. 170,000 miles and it was smoking slightly. However the smoking problem has been discovered. The compression test I did a few months ago showed 2 cylinders where within the recomended levels and only just. The other 4 where well below with either 1 or 2 below 100psi :( I think this engine will be more powerful just by making things work correctly. Stuart

LOL. I know Andy, the the side ones which where completely blocked. When I looked at them at first, I wondered why the hell it was just a pipe with no opening. Then after giving the pipe a little wipe with the cloth I relised there was meant to be an opening at the side. I only knew that because when wiping it the pipe went soft in one place, where the opening should be :eek:

I mean if we are to disbelieve a video showing a dyno result of 744 wbhp, why should be believe your word? I mean you could have fabricated the whole thing up. ;)

Yeah it is the Machine Mart on Kirbs. My dad ordered it on line and 10 days later they it didnt arrive dispite saying 7 days delivery. We canceled the delivery and then went to Bolton and picked one up. Yeah we have got bits every where. you dont realise how much is on the car until you take it off. We had to put parts in a neighbours garage. Plus having 2 sets of wheels in there doesnt help. I just hope I remember what goes where when putting it back together. :confused: I would have got those bolts from you Mike. We got our own stand because my dad wants one for a motor bike engine he is doing too. We tried to put the engine on the stand this morning and found the bolt problem. It was easier to go and get them ourselves. I didnt know if you was at home or at work or anything. Plus one of the bell housing bolts was missing :mad: and we needed to get another one. Some one in the past crossed threaded the bolt putting it back on and probably left that bolt out as it wasnt going in correctly. We cut the thread again and bought a new bolt. Stuart

You could have put a link up or even a picture :(

Are you sure it was that much? I think that my include other gaskets. If it is just for 1 that is rediculas

I am sure standard sizes are 7.5 and 8.5. Those depths are fine, but do they have the right off set?

I had a strange misfire as well. Usually just after flooring it. One time I was going down the motorway and if I held the throttle at a certain position it would misfire. Put a little more throttle on and it was fine. I never found out what it was, but I think it could have been heat soak into the loom as it was a very hot day and the engine was hot too.

Great stuff

Phone Nissan they will be able to tell you easy

Yeah I think so. There are about 20 places off set from the main carpark which doesnt get used that much

Its going slow. :confused: We had to go and buy some longer bolts to fit the engine on to the stand, and also return some faulty tools back to the shop. Some things I noticed when now the engine is out. The turbos are not the same age. One is a nice clean silver colour and the other is an old iron colour. Why only 1 was changed I dont know. It was a company car for a very long time and that is the sort of thing a company would do on car repairs. On the final pic. Notice how all the intakes going to the right are covered in oil. There is also an aluminum oil tube which goes from the EGR all the way round to the front of the plenum on both sides. Both where completely blocked and I think are blocked quite a bit down the line too. I will have to soak them to clean it before the engine goes back in. Also one of the PCV hoses had as split in it. Not huge but enough to lose a little oil. Just thought I would share this with you. Stuart P.S. Sorry Smithy not got the tubs off yet. Will be tomorrow.

OK Here is a list SRRAE Chris@GetGReddy Kirbz Scoops Graham S DaveW Adam R Andy Duff?? ZEvans NoS NigelBoyd Markzx Mike Duff Alex C BazzaGC Rossy + friend(?) phil300zx tooley NoS + 2 kevin DanDud ShaunMac If everybody comes there will be 25

I have been updating the list and there are about 23 coming if every one goes. Not such a small meeting any more. I think we had better give them some warning :D

So it should be ready about the 8th March? Nice one! :D

I noticed the CAS was Mitsubhishi too today

Strange, I though that car look like this in real life ;)

If it is 1.57 miles Im not going as mine takes exactly 1.58 miles to reach top speed

You talking about the metal clip? Push the clip down and then it swings open.
