I wonder if they are welding material onto the lobs which are then ground to the new profiles?

Come on Nick keep up! http://epracing.net/products-page/valve-train-components/vg30dett/

Why do EPR want your core camshafts?

What cams were you hoping to use?

Best wishes on your Birthday Howard and Gary!

With all due respect NOT having a working oil pressure gauge was a big mistake, particularly with a newly rebuilt engine. Any low pressure oil readings would have been picked up at the onset and could have saved the engine from serious damage. Why was the engine rebuilt in the first place? What components were damaged and/or replaced? Have you inspected the other bearings for any onset of damage or unusual wear? This could help narrow down the problem. It may be that one bearing let go first with the others on their way. As to the failure of an individual bearing this could be down to a single factor or combination thereof. This link provides a pretty comprehensive list: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/technical/view/769063/Online-infogtgtgtgt.html

Assuming your radiator cap is working properly, any excess water will be allowed to escape into the overflow reservoir and be drawn back in when the car cools down. You can fill the radiator up to the filler cap. In the first instance, check that the overflow pipe is connected to the radiator (by the filler cap) and the other end is connected to the overflow tank. You can see if the overflow tank has water in by checking the dipstick (by the n/s front wing).

Much better Chris - so much more courteous!

Looks like you've had Gromit in there too Tom!

The diagrams in the link below show the 90-94 and 95 on harness changes: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/main/view/1045147/-Rehosted-images-.html You can see which fusable links need to be in place for the spark and ignition circuits to get their power. The Pin 58 to Pin 45 change was only for the injectors.

Full brake flush today from ATE Super Blue (no longer available) to ATE TYP200 brake fluid (same DOT4 spec but not blue). The colour change from blue to amber made things a lot easier in knowing when the old brake fluid was completely flushed out. 10 bleed nipples and 1.5 liters later the job was done. The blue tube has a one way valve on the end and the reservoir is clamped to the brake disc with a magnet.

What's the feed for Richard? Permanent live and ignition ON are two separate +12v supplies. There is also the ACC +12v supply.

Oops missed the link off ^^^

That will give you a much larger range of spark plugs to work with (NA type on left, TT on right): http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/1751111/AshsZ-II-Ultimate-Street-Z-COMPILATION-V1.html

Spark plug bosses coming off? http://epracing.net/cnc-vg30dett-cylinder-heads/

You are very welcome! BTW - decided on your rear lights yet?

Welcome to the Club Tim and the start of your Z32 adventure! If you PM me the VIN (you will need to subscribe) I can give you the build date etc of the car.

How about emailing the entire membership that the poll is taking place?

Have you checked that the door card is fitted correctly?

Well done Nick, no excuses for going all German on us now!

This is the flowchart that should be followed for an MOT emissions test. The important point is that the Z32 300ZX is NOT in the "EGA database or the In-service Emissions book" So for Z32s first used before August '95 a "Non-cat test" should be followed.

You going to keep the AMS logos on them?

More photos - grist for the mill...

Nice find, got pics?

It is possible that the VFD's (displays) are failing. For two to fail after repair is odd. Is the wiring/plug to the clock in good order? Which type do you have - 25820-30P00 or 25820-40P00?
