TT around 170 to 175 with long enough road 0-60 around 5.4 seconds or so

eh? what did i miss? lol

If you have subscribed before, its just £10 renewal bud.

Some people have no respect for their own vehicle so no respect for others, pisses me right off to be honest, im always very careful about how i get out of my car especially when im in the zed, due to its long doors, but others just don't care bud. im surprised i haven't got big dents in my zed from using it as a daily for the past 8 months. If the paint hasn't been broken on your passenger side door, should be able to get paint less dent removal out to do that.

the updated list is on the JAE thread bud. ill dig the link out for you. Cheshire, when i get the revised list of confirmed payments ill let you know. :)

drives me nuts people opening their car doors onto my car, had that once in Morrison's car park, wasn't even shopping there, i was waiting to pick the Mrs up, couple beside me came back to their car, he got in his side, she opened the door streight on to my car, not even so much as a sorry or even a look, so i got out and had a look, knocked on her window and kindly asked her to be more frigging careful next time. Looks good though matey, loving the wheels and finish. Glad i got the kids seats in the zed, i park in the mother and child bays now, gives me extra room, but doesnt stop you worrying about trolleys though. (though always funny pulling into a child bay in a zed, the look on mothers faces until you dig the little one out the back lol)

Sweet might just get a run o the mill zed till you are all up and running and then be your first customer :) good luck bud and if you want to use my Facebook link for your car to drum up business you are more than welcome.

doubt it, it smokes on start from the drivers side, but then clears and doesnt come back, might be valve stems leaking on that one side, or could be blocked PCV valve. it doesnt blow the dip stick, and doesnt smoke once the car has warmed up, only on start from being left over night. I think zeds have it in for my anyway, as was using it today to drop kids off to a meeting with their mum and it popped the drivers side S shaped turbo water pipe? typical it had to be one of the worst ones to get to. doesnt leak when the engine is running, but turn it off and it does. so managed to get the car back to mine, something else that needs to be replaced.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3820936.htm and now http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4151303.htm are they really going up by 2500 in a few weeks :lol: (not a fan of the styling i must say)

same mate, im really hoping they keep to what its valued at, will be able to get it then.

If i did that might actually be able to get Big 300's LOL (i wished)

well going to see how much they offer first then decide on what to do.

F knows, i got the confirmation email today, but still waiting to hear, should of heard yesterday or today, but still tomorrow and monday lol. if not ill ring them.

its me dad lol, im trying to get him to sign up to the forum, but he works to much so gets little time. he liked my blue one that much he went and got one him self.

???

that is in good condition, unlike mine lol, still need to take the bumper off mine and see what happened under it.

Valve stem seal leakage, would cause smoke at first start as the oil drips into the cylinders at night. id of thought if they where really bad they would leak continusly. If its smoking and it has a blue tint to it, its either PCV's, turbo seals, or piston rings. You can always do a compression test, that should rule out piston rings, but id think you would be looking more at turbos to be honest matey.

well, let the car cool down, then took it for a test drive, still in safety boost as need to sort out resetting the ECU still, though neg cable now removed from bat, have found there is a leak to the power steering pipe, same one as usual so looks like he wants me to fix that as well for him (oh the joy, bloody hate that one lol) Car seems slightly lumpy on idle though, has been since he arrived in it. not sure why.

from cold, with bonnet open, turn key to on position but do not start the car, wait about 5 seconds, turn ignition off then on again, get out and go sniffing in the engine bay, pay particular attention to the small pipe under the throttle leavers (you will see the leak with a torch if it is there) and also the FPR (hat thing with small vac line coming from the top to the balance bar, on right hand side of engine between coil packs 4 and 6), i didn't notice the leak on my mates until the engine was cold so the leak was more prominent, if you are smelling it from out side the car but not inside, then its most likely from the engine bay. My mates smelled just like someone had actually split petrol on the floor. but it was infact the pipe that joins the injector rails.

got any jobs going, damn sounds like my sort of adventure lol

Dear diary, Fed the monkeys, and walked the hamsters. Anyway, fixed the fuel pipe, no more leaking or bad fuel smell, though once the car was started had blue smoke from drivers side exhaust. give it a blip of the throttle and loads of blue smoke and a loud pop, smoke then disappeared over time and is not back? Anyway, checked timing once car was up to temp, timing was out quite badly, loosened CAS went to adjust it and the car cut out, AHA, think we found the issue, changed CAS for known working one and set timing, then checked and set the TPS, didnt have to adjust the idle...? Took car for test drive, no cutting out, no fuel smell, and no cutting out on hard acceleration. need to reset both Auto ecu and ECU still though. But at least the car no longer dies, mate borrowing CAS until he can get a replacement as i still need to be able to move my blue one. but one happy chappy.

Day 2 Dear diary, found that if you turn the key but not start the engine enough times, you get a really strong fuel smell, suspect fuel pipe leaking, must of missed the pipe yesterday as the engine was still warm and it evaporated too quickly. left engine to cool and tried again, found major leak at the small rubber fuel hose that bridges the two injector rails, in the process of replacing (damn nissan dont make things easy) Currently boiling some water to make the new fuel hose nice and supple. when i disconnected the fuel hose hardly any fuel came out, considering i didn't relieve the fuel pressure, i am taking it as the leak was sufficient enough to allow that pressure to escape. So far the island has been good to me, light winds with no rain, though constantly over cast. wondering if i can survive long enough to fix this car so i can escape for a drive before i have to hand it back, supplies of banana's are low and im running out of drink. might have to lay down my tools and go hunting, need to keep my strength up for fixing the zed.

there only 350z wheels. could be funkysi's hidden project. might be the reason he didn't like any kind of body kit on other peoples cars and couldnt take a joke comment lol

Right, bit perplexed as to if its the ECU temp sender, changed it for a known working one with clean contacts, it cut out once, but when hard accelerating now feels like the MAF is playing up instead of just dieing, it had major hesitation though as if the maf was faulty, the maf is the one off my blue car and was working fine. going to change the connector on it tomorrow, but ive cleaned the female pins and also squeeze them in to give a tighter contact. Also going to check the TPS tomorrow but doubt its that, if its not the ECU temp sender or the TPS, could it be the injectors? or the injector O rings?

Good point, due to the connector being snapped an you cant connect and hold it via the little metal clip, the pins could really do with a clean as well, i did give them a rub down with some sand paper, but the connector its self really needs changing. due to the strong smell of fuel i thought it might be due to the FPR failing and not maintaining the fuel pressure at higher revs.
