What did you do to your zed today?
Ey ey ey, best aftermarket lights going those. I actually wouldn't swap mine for 99 specs.

Disastrous discovery! how bad is it?
Surely not all of that has to come out Jeff? The acordion pipes, Inter cooler to throttle body pipes, there all on the side of the rad that should have little bearing if any no? I'm sure the cornettos are from the boot in fact.

Auto box?
Odd that your Idle speed is up too. It's all kinds suggesting that your TPS is A factor. Have you tested and set TPS voltage?

Code 34 - Can I use any det sensor?
Do you still have code 34? How are you regulating boost?

Way off the mark?
Let's not turn it into another auto vs manual debate. It's certainly got nothing to do with the "kidz". Older performance cars are always popular as manual for multiple reasons. Manual 300zx's are more popular and subsequently worth more, that's a fact. Finding a manual is harder, supply and demand. By the logic you apply the most desirable format would be a 2+2 twin turbo auto, when we know the most desirable is a stick top manual, the "poverty spec" it's simple supply and demand.

good tt engine
I know gaz/hellraiser had one for sale, don't know any thing more I'm afraid, for example if he still has it.

What's with the tipex? Did you have some spelling mistakes on them? :lol:

"Perfect" he says. One MOT percured, still got my advisory for noisey exhaust, maybe I should class that as a badge of honour.

Z32s at auction
It is crazy, esp when is a car that was sold there legally. We can have basically anything as long as it passes a test. You'd be sick if you saw how many skyline gtr's are over here, there's one in my road and another a few roads over.

A very good haul there. The purple 97 is a bit rough, the versionS is a beaut and that little white number is a winner.

PowerZed forged engine rebuild
The flare nut spanner will help mate. An open ended spanner on those soft nuts is a recipe for disaster.

speedo not working
This is exactly what mine used to do. I took the speedo out one day and that making and breaking of the contacts seemed to do it good. Haven't had the problem since.

Tyre Wear Advice
I tell you what, if your alignment is really poor, a good alignment will be night and day. Mine was all over the place with underside poor offset wheels when I got it, after I had that done and switched to stock wheels it was a different car.

Good price for a desirable car, short of being a manual it's the most desirable format in my opinion. As said though it may take a little while to find the right (interested party with money they are prepared to part with) buyer, rather than dreamers. If I was on the market one I think I'd pay that, but I'm not, I already own one.

Auto box?
Look up the code; https://z32.wikispaces.com/Automatic+Transmission+Diagnostics I would see that as code 3, throttle sensor circuit. Thinking logically you've been working around that changing the pipes. Probably knocked the TPS. Clean the connection and ensure its seated correctly. Clear the code and try again.

Paint. Where did I go wrong.
It's odd that it happens to certain panels and not others. Really puts me off using 1k again.

I'm guessing if presented with a car with the front already stripped down, bumper off etc that the labour bill would fall drastically?

The new light idea.....
Buy a lecky one mate, much quicker.

Oh you can defiantly save her from that. It's just a case of time.

Oh that sucks! Really sad to see that mate. Sounds like you've had exactly the same thing happen.

Looks like a convection hob. You planning on boiling an egg? :lol:

Tyre Wear Advice
There's adjustment on camber and tie at the rear on the stock set up with a TT. It's not a lot though, a mild drop can put you out the range of adjustment. (The lower you go the more camber becomes an issue. If only one is like this then I would suggest it's an alignment fail. Toe angle with kill a tyre faster than camber.

Disastrous discovery! how bad is it?
Hrm. That's a doozey. It is a piece in its own right but iirc it's spot welded in. Looking at what you've got there the corrosion looks quite significant. I think it would be faster and probably mandatory to acquire that section from another shell and fit it. Getting to it very may well take longer than replacing it. I think Pete has replaced one of these before.

Code 34 - Can I use any det sensor?
I have a nose, I had a spare loom. Mines bypassed. Can't remember if I've binned it though. If I can find it, you can have it.

What did you do to your zed today?
I'm finding this more as well. Some guy was hanging out the window of his van filming my zed a few weeks back, waving me to boot it past him. (Bit of a tit using his phone while driving really.) he was proper excited about it though. Last year I guess, the response has been great. You get stopped by people in car parks and people point when you go past. People seem to all of a sudden like them. Slightly different but still a compliment I Spose. Me and gaz had a woman some while ago saying how she wished she could afford something like that blah blah blah. Bear in mind both cars are bright red. She thought we had a pair of Ferraris :lol: bless her.
