speak to Mike at MJP he has good connections to get stillen parts over ive spoke to him b4 about stillen bumpers alot cheaper shipping than 500

lol i thought i would leave it open to peoples own conclusions

It was my pleasure thanks for the coke :)

will have to put a pic up of this fitted Baz im not quite sure how it would look but im interested :)

Yep he took great pleasure in telling me how its the best zed ever but when i asked him why he wasnt on none of the forums he had no answer

There is still that kebab delivery silver one on the high street but im pretty sure that is a NA one Plus ive got 2 now so that makes 4 zeds :)

welcome to the club mate :)

Ive got a spare shell to build on the drive :)

Im getting quite handy now with the passenger side turbo in situ havent attempted the drvs side yet but im just down the road from you as well if you need a hand :) Marty

Mine were both studs IIRC and nuts. I think you may have had the same problem i had where the threads have stripped out the gearbox. I can come and have a look if you need a hand. Marty

This is what i have Marty

Ah cheers Baz yeah the engine is in the shed and the new shell has arrived now on the front drive :) Im back in a week to start building

yep you need different belts it lists part numbers here http://www.ttzd.com/tech/linestech.html HTH Marty

Cheers for the info Si :)

Might of been a lawnmower i was reading about :hammer:

who am i looking for in Yell to do head skimming? from what i have seen it doesnt seem to be that expensive

Yeah ive just been reading a few posts over the internet about it

Could you give me some advise on rebuilding my engine. Ive got it all stripped and need to work on the heads and block ready for new gaskets and reassemble. Will working the heads and block with 1500 wet and dry do the job until i have shiny surfaces to rebuild. Or would it be better to take the heads to be skimmed and would i need to take all the valves out to do this. Any help and advise would be good thanks Marty

I think its 8mm too :)

yep ive used air tools before but with no heads on there is no resistance in the cylinders so i could turn the engine over with one finger

It is potential for my shell im rebuilding so time really isnt a problem the garage can have it for a while when i work on the engine just not sure if it looks ok on a LWB

Not sure if this would work on the 27mm damper bolt as the engine was turning and i needed to stop it :)

i just needed to get some M10 bolts in there to hold the flywheel steady so i could get the damper off the other end as its on the spare engine. All done now will be getting Nismo flywheel bolts much cheaper

sounds like plenum bypass just done mine the coolant pipes should bypass the plenum and throttle bodies and then run straight to the turbos instead

Has anyone got a lower tail skin on their LWB zed? I was after seeing what it looks like im thinking of either that or the perspex strip Marty
