  1. 4 6 n 8 are the most used, i used 8mm reinforced for the water bypass, i know some peeps used 6mm. 4 for tiny vac pipes 6mm for slightly larger vac pipes. Oh n i used polishing kit from screwfix mate and lots of elbow grease.
  2. Hi all, this is one very happy santa! Just fitted a new battery after finally having the time and decent enough weather to put everything back together and BINGO! Bit of lifter tick and rusty discs but nothing a nice little drive won`t sort out, has been standing since xmas after all. So once again a huge thank you to all that have helped me out Andy, Stu & Joely and Damo for moral support...:bow:
  3. Will do, you`ll hear from me mid morning when i return from posties..lets see if we can get you back up and running!
  4. It`s off a tt mate, pretty sure they`re the same, it`s indentical to yours..minus the wonky shaft of course! Will e-mail you payment details.(paypal preferred) after finding out how much postage is to dublin, will be first thing in the morning as my posties shut now. Just checked..cas is same for all z32 up to 1994 so you have no worries.
  5. IF he doesn`t manage it, i have one in v good condition £50 +p&p.

  8. Ahh! the good old egg timer.
  9. clips are for the clutch fork and bearing holder..oops see some one got there first
  10. pretty sure it`ll be same size mate
  11. I`m with performance direct, they`re a broker of sorts, you`ll probably find it`ll be a classic policy.
  12. Just make sure you label everything on the old loom and connectors then compare n marry em up with the new loom. The hardest part is the passing of the connector through the firewall, personally, i had the dash off at the time which made it a doddle. I`m replacing the heater box soon and will take a couple of pics so you can see what you`re in for.
  13. well the one in brentwood is genuine and literally a hop skip n a jump from mjp, wonder if Mike got bored one night?
  14. They`re all good mate, fit very well.
  15. What lube would you suggest? I`m going to be replacing all mine shortly. And don`t say k.y.:winkiss:
  16. Think you can get dett at any time can`t you? If the combustions not right it`ll just happen till corrected.
  17. Hi terry, sorry to see this. Hope you get it sorted cheaply.
  18. nice one! Great photo too Baz.
  19. just charging the camera,had lost the charger, that`s a video still, will post some better ones later mate. basically 1st three oil/fuel on everything plenum related. 2nd broken injector tip/cap. When i removed the rail all the seals had red sealant smeared over them and #4 injector o ring was split 2/3rds of the way round,amazed i didn`t catch fire.Explains the mystery fuel smell i couldn`t track down!
  20. ok here`s todays report. Got fuel rail off..spot whats wrong! And a big thankyou to the garage of the past who took it all apart just to reuse all the old rings and seals you w******s, and no..red gasket seal is not the answer to everything! :cursing: Needless to say i`m a bit concerned as to the potential damage this could/may have caused, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
  21. Well, today i removed the plenum and guess what i found?.... That ladies n gentlefolk is flippin petrol mixed with a bit of oil. This would explain the smell of fuel i could never track down,i guess the injector was failing for some time,maybe stuck open..i dunno.All i can surmise is the pcv system has ended up sucking fuel/vapour in as well. Anyway all my spark plugs are blacker than the hole of Calcutta,apart from #6 also explains my black exhaust,think the ecu may have been trying to compensate by over fueling. The plenum gasket was soaked in oily fuel stuff. Tomorrow is fuel rail removal..which is nice. Happy days.:whistling:
