Thanks guys.

Engine question
NA and TT engines have the same crank so that should widen your search. Might be worth giving Jimmer at Powerzed a call as he may have one or know someone with one from a different engine build that was unrequired etc. At least you’ll know that it’s a part within spec as well.

Seem to have acquired another zed😎
I was about to ask what was wrong with it when I quickly looked at the photos on my phone, then zoomed in. Looks like it’s been stored in the sea!

I’ve saved your number.

I don’t currently have the ability to PM as I’m not a subscribed member I’m afraid. Pricing my car is hard which is why I’d be happy to discuss whether it fits your need/budget.

Mines not actively for sale as I went to MOT it and it failed on some nonsense, my fault for not preparing things tbh. It fits your brief though. So we can talk about it maybe? Red. Manual. Twin Turbo. Build thread here.

Tapping sound
How is your oil pressure? The hydraulic lifters can make a right racket if they aren’t behaving. You’ve also got the variable valve timing solenoids, they’re right down the back. When was the last time it had a service? Do you have a good service history?

Locked out
Can you not unlock the boot and climb through? At least you can then pop the bonnet and charge it up.

Rattle from transmission area when on low RPM
There’s a number of plates/heat shields down there. I’d start by having a wobble test.

Project Black Sunshine - The 300bhp NA
I remember seeing my first Z32, it looked massive, so wide. The size of that R35 next to one shows how much cars have swollen.

That’s how it should be yes, but the world we live in these days peoples lack of due diligence often seems to be someone, anyone else’s fault. Not even saying this occurred here but it does, the reviews people leave of products they buy are hilarious at times. I think you know me enough after all these years Jimmer that you’re aware I have enough respect to respect your judgment. What I was getting at is that if someone buys my car and six months later they’re moaning about some bit of rust they or I didn’t spot, want to disassemble half of it on my driveway before buying or a perspective buyer expects me to drive a five hour round trip for a report on a £10k~ car its not happening. But then I wouldn’t pretend mines perfect, it was never built to sell for profit or anything of the like, it was built for my enjoyment.

Pre-Beaulieu road trip
Oh I still live around that area, I’m just not there currently, always on the road. We’re still in the bungalow but planning on a move to a bigger house in the same village as we need more space, with two kids now and I could do with a double garage. Awkward stage as I transferred the business into a limited company as it’s grown and I need more history in my books for the mortgage stuff.

I do agree with your sentiments but equally it actually puts me off putting mine on the market. Whilst these cars have increased in value they aren’t commanding larger sums, the idea of tyre kickers on steroids that want professional reports and to take half the thing apart looking for faults fills me with dread. Not because I’m trying to hide things but because of the aggro. It’s a barrier to selling a 35 year old car that I’m just not interested in. You either want it or you don’t and it’s not a show piece concourse house price investment, it’s not new or nearly new, it’s a 35 year old second hand car, there’s always an element of the unknown and the idea of a potential buyer creating havoc or coming back in 6 months time to say they found rust somewhere. I’m talking myself out of selling as we speak!

HKS ssqv not sounding like a HKS (stock) 300zxTT
If the stock boost gauge is what you’re looking at, it’s a bit optimistic. Check your ECU for safety boost. If you’re only making 7psi I’d not be surprised. My car runs on Baileys. At partial boost they chirp. That classic whoosh sound only occurs when I’m on the boost properly.
