Smithy

Yup! :-)

Aww gee thanks fellas. More than happy to take cash lol However I can only offer my body in return, whoops! I do pop in from time to time to see how the world of Zeds is going though :drool: Take care and thanks again smithy

It was in reference to the size (length mainly) of the intake in the above picture being so large and my own experience of making/fitting various types of intakes to fit, single and dual. Hopefully he's had a bash and knows either way now. ta smithy

Yes deffo not as straight forward, lol after buying brand new 99 spec switches and carbon surrounds and even an adapter loom for it. Does look the mutts nuts tho! Smithy

As said mate a very nice dual intake, but for sure try it for fitting now in case you need to make alterations. Made quite a few intakes in me time including the Zeds dual ones so I know it's a struggle! The MAF being bigger by half an inch is a big help, whilst voltage plays a big part as does the volumetric size of the MAF, so good job :-)

All good thanks mate, still lerk around from time to time. Sadly me beemer doesn't amuse me much lol Lee peeps often make a mistake in finding a boost leak, fixing it and assume all is done in that regard, so do another test. Also if you have fitted aftermarket side mounts and fitted the original ducts on as well at the front, it has been known when screwing in the fixings to tighten too much and it puntures the alloy enough to cause a leak. Some don't fit the ducts at all and with some SMIC wonder why they have a boost leak, it's cos in some cases the duct fixing point needs plugging. Other than that, in the same area, when new hose joiners have been fitted on new SMIC, a leak can occur. Let us know how you get on, Smithy

Even though you imply your Zed was stalling before changing back to the recircs, air leaks are the most common cause of a stalling engine Lee. Go round checking all hoses that the clips are seated correctly and then check for tightness, including those going to the intercooler, especially if after market. Lastly check all vac lines. Ideally if you can get your hands on a boost leak checker, quicker and easier job. Once satisfied there are no leaks, you can look what other issue may cause it. Smithy

The set with the fewer silicone sleeves (more chance of leaks) and smoother bends for flow, so Ashspec. He's a Zed lover through and through and designs his parts and tests them himself. smithy

Wrong grade in your opinion or not, am simply pointing out a reference from NGK themselves, Topless supplied one of 3 statements from NGK given to the forum over the years in relation to the spark plugs Nissan commissioned them to use in the Zed engine. It also points out the slight error made in post number 2 above, simples :-) ta smithy

A stock UK plug was a grade 5 and uses the C and in the US was a grade 6 and uses the B, this link below at post number 4 should be of some use. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?90470-Spark-plugs&p=859825&viewfull=1#post859825 Smithy

Bin the shroud, don't paint the fam just have a nice sparkly clean undamaged one. Never ran a shroud in mine for the 10 odd years i had it... smithy

And to help prevent problems with the front drains, remove your side repeaters, there you will see where the drain pipe enters the cabin, disconnect it here and fit a connector and some new pipe down behind the wheel splash guard, so you have no drain inside the cabin and no drain going through the sill. Smithy

and double YUP!

In a Nutshell yes and the calipers would be either Red or Black. smithy

GTR 33's are Brembo's and at 30 bucks thats cheap! get the matching fronts and fit the 324mm discs and you got a decent set up. If Brembo ain't stamped on them, then they ain't GTR Smithy

When my Zed suffered oil leaks in that area and despite changing the seals it still leaked, with engine running and covers removed place a large piece of paper above each sprocket at a time. Fine Oil should spray onto the paper from which ever sprocket is leaking! hth Smithy

Did yer check the inventory to see if you also bought the toaster Lynda used! cos if yer toast ain't up tp scratch it could seriously effect your business mate :-) Good luck for the future mate and at least when buying a successful business you know what the winning formula is to grow from. smithy

And I bet knowing Jeff he told you a little weird but simple way to fix it in seconds mate? the amount of things he figured out about the Zed was crazy lol smithy

Wow, well this is a significant change in the 300zx community, the only fully established AND successful 300zx Specialist is changing ownership. 1st of all well done Jeff and family for building such a great asset to the 300zx community, it’s not just about fixing the cars, but also how you do it, how you treat the customers, their cars and knowing all those little “quirks” and “niggles” the car has. God I remember the very 1st steps of the Zedworld business, the headlight upgrades using silver foil and uprated bulbs and now to look back at all you and your family achieved but more importantly just how much outside of working in the garage. Enjoyed everyone one of my many trips to see you all, I ain’t chuffin driving all the way to Portugal though lol The very best of luck with your fresh but sunny new start am well jealous, dohhh! And of course the very best of luck to Mark and whoever helps him and long may the name Zedworld carry on

Yup that one on ebay is one of mine :-) copies of mine are available in the US though. Thanks for the comps anyways fellas... smithy

Have you a pic of your current elbows mate? smithy

Grrr another item of mine I produced they copied and it's now at more than twice the price, grrrr smithy

Can you see any writing with the letter P in it? if so what? smithy

Ah well if you didn't pay for 4000's and only 144 quid for these, looking at the website i'd say you done okay, especially now you know for rears the importance isn't the same as the fronts! Just stick em on fella eh smithy

Mate if you or anybody else strips a 20 year old plus Zed engine down, for gawds sake replace the pistons with Wiseco's or similar for around 300 quid, bearings a great idea too :-) smithy
