After the work starts i'll start a progress and build thread as i gets update pics in.

After much thought since my last post, lol, i'm going with this :

Think i'm going the brandy wine colour after I've watched a few videos on youtube

great, thanks

Its an import yeh, but is a series 4 and a 1996 build. I've went through all the hardship of the weird ass parts Nissan decided to change to cut costs.

So is it worth the risk of decating the zed only to stumble at the mot when they say where's the cats. Even if it passed the emissions test would it not fail on a technicality ?

These are all fine examples, my original thoughts were a dark purple but i'm liking the wine colour too.

My zed is a 1996 series 4 which for the mot to pass needs cats as I currently understand it. I'm fairly sure my cats are fooked and having them out in the rain for the last 6 months has doomed them further. So as I direct replacement is this what I need ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321228906950?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

mmmm - choices. The zed is getting picked up hopefully tomorrow for sure and i'm stuck on what colours to go for. What I have decided is that I want a show finish and it will be one of the kandi variety. I'm thinking a purple or brandy wine ? Anyone seen these colours up close on a zed or anything else ?

Done some late night work on the zed and swapped over the tailgate and bonnet. Got this tailgate from the white breaker and it's like new underneath.

I've got three pipes left after I've removed mine, Two of which look like vents and the third is part of the fuel rail in the engine bay. First pipe as you can see in the pic goes into the chassis, Second pipe is part of the fuel rail, Third pipe goes down and out along the tunnel towards the rear of the zed.

We have two types of stands for the bigger flags, First is a stake which just pushes through any type of soil like grass And the other is a cross mount for using in indoor / concreted area. There's no intentions of getting rid of the old larger banners but because the old ones are a heavier construction they are very expensive to post.

Anyone removed one from a series 4 ? I've followed the standard guide but there is a few differences in the pipe work. Only removing mine as the brackets are rusty so might install one from an r32. I've read that the ecu brings up fault codes but how does it know ?

Engines already at Lee Dents for a rebuild so i'm just cleaning up the engine bay a bit and getting rid of anything I no longer want or nor need. Also got rid of the carbon canister

Fairly warm today so started to strip her down as much as I could before pickup later this week for a respray. As you can see this is a complete restore from the bare shell.

The national Banners have arrived ! As we all know the REO's recently all received new flags to cover each individual area for local meets and shows. Since the quality and feedback from these banners was so good it was decided that we should replace the larger and aging flags that barely see the light of day apart from JAE each year. What I can say is we would be absolutely crazy not to get these out in the open air as they look bloody amazing. So first off the new flags designed in-house are based on a schematic of the z32 which I must say is so detailed that you could use them to trace where pipework or cabling goes if that's ever needed. To give a scale of these I've placed my three year old at the bottom who is just shy of three foot. Here is the two new banners at the front of my house : The final banner is a 10' by 3' long PVC print with an additional motive to celebrate the upcoming 25th Anniversary ! The quality is absolutely fantastic and I can't wait to get these on display for the 25th celebrations and again for JAE.

Happy Birthday guys, hope the days went well.

Had about 4 Zeds now and never once had to remove the scuttle. not saying removing the scuttle isn't the proper way but after the securing brackets are removed just tilt the battery forward and carefully lift it at an angle.

Here ye go : Manual Auto

Mine wasn't glued but is tacked at a few strategic places. if it's glued then possible yours has already been pulled up and stuck down again.

If you don't want to cut it then it's a dash out job as far as I know. at each side of the centre console there is two struts that bolt the support bat that's behind the dash, as these are bolted through precut holes in the carpet they will need to be removed first and the only Way to fully get into these is to completely remove the dash. heres a pic of the dash removed and you can just see the two struts that need to be unbolted. the carpet runs under the centre console and is a tight fit all the way back to the bulkhead .

Sorry to hear this buddy, let me know how much you want for the turbos.

See it still runs windows 95, lol

Big shout out and thanks to znut for supplying me with a van load of goodies. I was well impressed and shocked at what he parted with for the cost of what I parted with. 80% of the components he gave now reside at lee dents and will be well used in my engine rebuild. The road was long but had absolutely no issues on the way and back this time so that was great. Thanks again
