What did you do to your zed today?
Finally got the zed running after being off the road for 2 years!!! New engine fitted last week and finished plumbing etc. today. Strangely enough its started and running fine on the new 550cc injectors with a standard-ish Blitz access map. Need to get in touch with Noel for the Nistune to be fitted and mapped at some point over the next few weeks, then its off to the MOT station!!

Consult cable
Hi, I have a Nistune ecu I bought off Noel and need a Consult cable. I was wondering if anybody has used the consult cables sold on eBay, and are any good? They seem to all be the same, priced about £20 http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-14-Pin-Consult-II-OBD-DDL-Mini-USB-Diagnostics-Tool-For-Nissan-Z32-89-00-/181664524469?nav=SEARCH The only other place I've seen them is ecutalk but they are closed till 5th August

New style injectors
Cheers Mark I have a new set of late style injectors ready to go, so would that adapter set I posted above be all I need? Theres also this kit which seems similar but without the connectors https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=12665 Mine is a JDM 92 so originally had the old style injectors, old upper & lower plenum and old fuel rails

New style injectors
Just getting together a list of parts for the engine swap next month (finally!!!) and am upgrading to new style injectors. I was wondering if these are basically the options I have to get them to fit?- 1) Fit 300 degree rails, machine the upper plenum for one of the injectors to clear 2) Replace fuel rails with late spec, machine lower plenum to fit new style rails 3) Replace lower plenum (and upper if they aren't interchangeable??) and fuel rails, with new style of each Also, what would the following kit achieve? https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=7731 Cheers guys

alloy valves
Yeah its coming from the rubber grommit. Should have mentioned I had the same issue when I had the tyres fitted two years ago. I believe there is no rubber o-ring there as standard but the tyre place said they can try fitting one but said it might not last that long. Back then I was also unable to find a replacement valve but we were looking more at local options. From what I've seen all the screw together type of valves have some kind of rubber o-ring though? I would like to try and find new valves if possible as got a feeling another o-ring won't last long (the one fitted ended up just sitting between the normal edge on the valve and the wheel, rather than having a groove cut for an o-ring, if that makes any sense)
-
alloy valves
Cheers buddy, yeah they all either seem to be 45 degree angle and short like those, or 90 degree angle and long. From the end of the valve to where it comes through on the inside of the rim is 5cm, so i need them to be 45 degree and long!! The only info I've found is someone on a Supra forum getting some centre caps. He went through Volk who are (were?) the Advan distributer in the States who sourced them from Japan. If all else fails I may just get a standard valve fitted for now inside the rim, and get all 4 valves replaced when I eventually have the wheels refurbished.

alloy valves
Hi, just starting getting the z ready for the new engine and noticed one of the tyres was flat. Turns out the leak is coming from the valve... Looked everywhere but can't seem to find any the same. Wheels are Advan Siena 2, the valves are a long bolt in valve which are bent at 45 degree.

I agree, also this seems to be a yearly occurrence at exactly the same spot which begs the question... why isn't the event policed?

Titanium Key Cutting
I got a replica Titanium key from America a while back but haven't been able to find anywhere that will cut it. Does anyone know of a place that will do it? The places I've tried round here all say "we can't do that, it will knacker up out machine!!"

Red zed A61 near chesterfield
Saw a red z32 on the A61 in between Chesterfield and Clay Cross. I recognise it off here but can't remember which user, its red with vented nose panel, high level rear spoiler, real light panel with 3 lights per side, I think black wheels possibly...
-
What do you think about the bumper?
I really like it and it does look like a top quality job. Looks quite sleek keeping the top fin. I think the law still states if it had fogs from factory they dont have to be on the car, but if it does have front fogs on they have to work. I may be wrong but I think it is for any light on the car apart from reverse light.
