Simply japanese 2016!!!
31 cars, most of them z32s. Filling up nicely to be a great day out. Still time to top last years 50! Some of which can be seen here. Note to self, don't photo bomb press photographers, you end up in things like Honest John. Whoops! http://classics.honestjohn.co.uk/news/event-news/2014-08/beaulieu’s-simply-japanese-is-a-hit/ With a touch more voting I think we have a serious chance this year of winning the people's choice award after a few years now where we've had multiple cars in the final selection. But no first place, the potentials there, just got to seize it.

Help and guidance on whether to sell my LWB TT JDM as a breaker or for repair.
I have to agree with Pete too. The enthusiasm and time are your issue and finding either of those to pull apart a car that you don't really want to pull apart and deal with the crap is pretty demanding. That other block you've got might not take all that much cash/effort to refresh. Exchanging the blocks is something that can be done over a weekend quite casually.

My SWB Zed...
Gurt lush.

What did you do to your zed today?
Drove past it twice on way two and from work, looked at it floating on the stands. Won't be touching it this weekend though, way too busy.

Another dead Zed :-(
Whoops.

We've had it down here as well, it's not settled but still, we don't get snow this far down normally.

A few regular posters have disappeared over the last few years. Weather isn't exactly zed friendly atm either, spring is a bit late this year.

If there was someone to take advice from, it doesn't get better than that.

Let's talk turbos...
Gt675's are very popular, although starting to get a touch laugh by all accounts. However with your breather mods lag should be low. A pair of gt2860s should see 500bhp and be very responsive with your bolt ons. It's really a personal thing, I'd take response with good mid range over a big lump at the top any day. Read some experiences and set ups from owners.

Neutral switch pin?
Winner. Just go from 44 is less wiring. You can drop it through the gaitor without worrying about hitting the exhaust. Easy.

Help Needed
You can diagnose loads with a multimeter and a little thinking. Isolate which cylinder(s) Check for spark and fuel, invariably one is missing. Check/clean the connector Ohm test the offender, coil or injector. (Probably best to ohm all the injectors anyways, preventative) Check for supply to the connector. All the how's of this are easily found via search. No harm in asking though. Dirty connections are THE number one culprit.

On call I'm afraid. Might do sushi Sunday.

Neutral switch pin?
The pin 44 wire goes via the Auto ecu where it becomes pin 13 from memory, check the pin out. It will be easier to run a cable from ecu 44 to the switch and then delete the starter relay, which is what's in the wing. If I see you Saturday il show you. Have you tested the neutral switch yet?

reverse switch
Yes you can change it in situee. The body has a funny divet that gives enough room for a spanner. You can use the switch from a pathfinder, Navara or xtrail can't remember which, these are available as repro parts pretty cheaply. Compare the images on a Google search. You can test it really easy once it's out by pushing the switch and performing continuity. You can do this in place obviously but you would need a helper to pop it into and out of reverse, or jump in out, in out. Probably take you longer getting to it than replacing it.

Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
If you have to ask the inevitable answer is pull the block. It can be done with the engine in, but it's not easy, add that to bolts that haven't moved for 20+ years and you've got yourself a pickle. Far better to pull it and do it all nicely with space and you will have the opportunity to replace crap like water hoses, delete the egr all that stuff. For the price of a few meters of small water hose you can make your engine far more reliable.
