Yes it does. If you flip the S2 PTU over you will see a metal plate. That and the mounting bracket forms the heatsink.

Pictures of your car? Import or UK Spec? OEM spoilers have a combination of bolts, screws, plastic clips and adhesive strips depending on the three variations (pictured above) to fix to bodywork. Aftermarket are normally made from fiberglass copies of the OEM and fitted in a similar fashion (without the plastic clips) and use Sikaflex or equivalent adheasive. Quality does vary alot between the makers and is worth asking the about the experience of fitment of a particular copy beforehand.

A golden oldie thread! I'm not suprised you noticed no difference. Series 1 - six power transistors in a box, Series 2 - six power transistors in a box.

LHD cars had the space for both pre-cats. RHD cars had the space for a pre-cat on the n/s but without costly re-engineering could not be made to fit on the o/s. It was the main reason that with ever tightening emissions regs combined with low sales volumes that Nissan withdrew the cars from sale in the UK in '94.

Eurospec have two precats. UK spec have only one on the passenger side.

I would, let's see what WS have to say on volume discounting.

Really? How so? The car was sold at auction with no VIN on the vehicle. So where did the VIN on the export certificate come from?

So where did the VIN you PM'd me come from? FAST gave a match in terms of date of manufacture, AT, colour and trim.

Thank you Gary, however the difference is that yours is a lovely SWB - a rare bird indeed.

Joel is referring to the Botley Hill Farmhouse, Warlingham. Very nice pub in the Surrey North Downs countryside, large carpark and as Joel says "extremely delicious burgers"! Details below: http://www.botleyhill-farmhouse.co.uk/

No, it's a simple valve:

The job of the fuel pressure regulator (FPR) is to maintain the fuel pressure in the fuel rail at a constant 43.4psi whilst the engine is running.

Why would a closed injector give rise to excess fuel pressure?

Ash, nice warm country pub in sussex with good parking would be fine. If the weather is poor and/or salt on the roads will leave Zed tucked up but would attend anyway.

Thanks for the update Paul on JAE. Sorry to read that you are having more problems with your Zed. If it is an injector failure your cylinder will be OK as it will still have been oil lubricated as normal. For me JAE ran its course many years ago - too many rice rockets and poor behaviour spoiled the show. British weather is unpredictable at best but even blazing sunshine won't make a poor show a winner. JAE has become underwhelming and frankly overpriced. We have a great show here in the south at Simply Japanese at Beaulieu - an event I will make every effort to attend. Superb location and facilities, good organisation by Beaulieu and our REO's, well presented cars from all the Japanese marques and appreciative and polite crowds. All in all a lovely way to spend a day. If we had other public shows that were in the same vein as SJ (other than our annual AGM Club get together currently at Coventry) I would drive the length of the land to attend.

Welcome to the Club Jay!

I mounted each ballast in the space left under L&R headlight buckets after the OEM air filter ducts were removed. Out of the way of engine heat and dry. The arrow points to the area (photo is not mine). Personally I would avoid chinese made ballasts. The experience Jim Selin found in tracking down the problem with early Selin dual Maf translators and HIDs would put me off using them whether or not you had one of his translators. "All of the Chinese sourced ballasts I was able to test sent voltage spikes into the cars electrical system as high as 300 volts (!!!) This is also repeatedly hitting every other computer in your system." - Jim Selin http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2579166/Hey-Greg-sorry-I-hadnt-replied-to-your-email-yet.html and his original diagnosis and observations: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2498793/OFFICIAL-UPDATE-Heres-where-things-are-as-of-today.html

Let's wait & watch...

:biggrin:

My stock (original and unmodified) turbos are also still doing very nicely and have been running 1 bar max for over 16 years. I have a pair of nearly new JWT 530BBs on standby.

For the black rubber piping I've just washed in soapy water and dried. For the metal piping Autoglym engine cleaner and then polish.

You talking about the aluminium manifold or the black IC piping?

Yes, it does rather.

Did you find the information I sent you useful?

Thank you Ash and best wishes in your new role!
