Yeh, That are on route and so far not flagged for import fees. But I'm still claiming back off Ups for the first time it dispatched. Fingers crossed.

Update on this, Z1 have finally got back to me with updated tracking and its due to arrive next Thursday. Separately i have complained to UPS and they have started an investigation to get the import fees back.

Happy Birthday number one

Apparently they are going to dispatch it again on Monday; however they couldnt advise on whats to happen about the import taxes already paid.

No idea, UPS dont make it easy to contact them either, the website has is a very bad AI support tool. Its been 10 days nearly since last contact from Z1

Looks like Z1 have screwed me over on a set of Turbos. Ordered them 2 months ago and and i've been chasing them each week and they respond simply as we do not have an ETA. Finally got them to tell me that parts on on back order and no longer available so after a small refund the rest was dispatched via UPS last week. 1 Week on and UPS demanded the import fees upfront which i paid only to discover that Z1 never completed the Export license information to UPS. Now my new turbos have been returned to Z1 which i have tracking for and Z1 are ignoring all communications with me and i'm down the import fee too as if its shipped out again guarantee it will be a new tracking number and they will demand a new payment. I'm really at my tether with this zed and nearly had enough, everything i do to get it on the road goes wrong.

So apart from all things zed, My other hobby which I've invested a lot of time back into recently is Pool. After i replaced my old table with this, along with a full video recording studio which is getting fairly professional now. We records all our games and publish highlights on FB with our full games now available on Youtube. Many of you may recognise this as my old garage where i kept the zed but its since been converted to a proper Pool Hall.

Thanks guys, Had an easy day, good take out and played a few games of pool with my girls.

They are a wee bit out of date, as the logo is the old 300zx.co.uk name.

PM'd

So as i wait for the turbos to arrive i need to order up a new condenser and dryer. In regards to the engine; its just sitting waiting to be put back in but we are held back because of the turbos. I have 3 engines sitting, 2 forged and 1 stock. I'm also considering replacing the stock cams for a set of JWT's as i have a set in the other engine i own. For the moment it will just have to sit an wait.

Working on the AC again today as my turbos still haven't arrived from Z1. Looks like i need a new AC evaporator and dryer as the donor is bent out of shape too. Pipe work isn't in the best of shape either, shame everything is end of life and no longer available.

Recently had a trial of NewsPapers.com and done a search for the zed.

Not directly but below is a guide from the Service Manual :

Hope your day goes well. All the best.

Where did you get a new Aircon Rad from ?

Happy Birthday Jim.

Time to clean the AC parts as i found a birds nest in it.

Not the same motor. Mine was originally blue, and I done a full break down and refurb with a full respray to purple.

I used GazWoz (Garry Warren) who used to be a trader on here for a while. My purple zed was imported by him nearly 9 years ago now, No idea if he still does it.

Moving on to the air conditioning. This felt like it took me an age to get the pipe work back in, never seen such a complicated setup of pipes. think i've managed to get them all in place however i've discovered that the aircon evaporator is bent and i cant get it to bolt back in on one side. I'm now looking out for options to retrofit a newer aircon system.

Fitted the donor Power Steering pipe work today, after i gave it a good scrub to clean it :

Can't believe how much room I have now. Time to crack on fixing the main zed.

Coolers now out Had to remove these as they were sitting on a custom bracket and the AC wont fit back in without going back to the old way.
