Calling all Z experts!!
Cheers guys, the engine will be going on to a stand for a little cleaning/detailing once it's out. Eventually it will be replacing the one in my new zed as that's not as powerful and has covered about 4x the miles, not to mention its also an auto with smaller turbo's and cams. So far I've taken off all the rads, hard pipes and most of the loom but I'm not a mechanic so It's very much a case of on the job training...lol

repair or not repair
Repair it mate, chances are the other two you've been looking at will also need welding/work etc (especially the UK one!) :)

Calling all Z experts!!
I've got to remove the engine from my old zed, had a look at the engine removal FAQ in the faqs section but it doesn't work :headvswal I've got the service manuals that tell you briefly how to get it out but I was wondering if one of our resident guru's would be kind enough to do another engine removal faq? :D I've never removed an engine before let alone a zeds and could do with a little advice and tips. cheers Dave

Insurance question
I took out a fully comp policy on my old zed just one month before my accident. The insurance has now paid out but are still pursuing a county council for black ice/no grit on a major section of the A47. The only thing I am looking for is having the "at fault" removed from my records. As I'd had the policy for less than month before my car was written of I was wondering if I would be entitled to a refund on the policy for the rest of the year? Bit cheeky of me but does anyone know? cheers dave

Can't agree with you more mate, I love the kick you get out of them. I had roughly the same mods as you and when I hit kickdown it feels like the front wheels lift off the road :bow:

Where abouts is the targa drain plug?
It was the targa Drain pipe that had come out of the tube that goes through the wing that was causing my wet floor. I tried to put it back in but the pipe wouldn't reach :confused: Popped the window pillar cover off again to see if I could move the pipe and it did fit, however the pipe was being pulled tight so when the pillar cover went back on it came out at the bottom again :mad: So I took a bit of brass rod about 5/6" round and with the help of my dad and his Myford, we made a little basin/funnel type fitting. This fits perfectly into the wing drain tube and the targa pipe then sits in the basin at the top, resulting in the drain now working as it should :hyper: I'm really chuffed how it turned out, yeah it may be a bit over-engineered but I had fun and used a lathe for the first time.

Where abouts is the targa drain plug?
Cheers Legrath, i've found a tube that's not connected to anything! It's just above the white plastic harness connector block, looks like it's dripping down on to the harness above the ecu, then onto the ecu cover board. Just got to figure out how to get at the bugger without talking the dash off! lol
-
Where abouts is the targa drain plug?
Right, I've popped off the window pillar and poured water down the drain plug, there doesn't appear to be any splits in the pipe. Next, I got my little compressor out and blew air down the hole, put some more water in and it's dripping out from the bottom of the wing but I'm still getting water dripping into the footwell as well - it's dripping onto the wood panel covering the ecu :headvswal Help!! What do I do now :confused:
