Timing marks
They line up with the marks on the pulleys. You must count the teeth as per the FSM as well. Your engine was a 0BTDC before you started yeah?

What did you do to your zed today?
All I want to know is the 5v out put, when is it triggered and how. Ie does it send out 5v constantly unless you run lean/rich then take the bolts away or vice versa.

What did you do to your zed today?
Don't want to use one at present because, A it's an unneccessary purchase/complication and B I plan to use one down the line to accomdate an accusump, so I wouldn't have enough ports. This option seems to fit the bill. I'm still toying with which AFR to buy and where to locate it. I don't fancy two separate gauges, too many gauges, bit ricer. Some you can have both banks on the same gauge and different options. It's only going to be a safeguard rather than an a tuning tool, that will down to the mapper.

Back & in fine form
Nice one, good to see people out having fun.

my build thread
Top job Dan. Your going to have a quality car at this rate.

What did you do to your zed today?
Installed the gauge holder where the stereo was. The centre slot is reserved for an AFR gauge. Then I started faffing around testing out to see if the idea I have for mounting the sender for my oil temp gauge will work. Which in happy to report it looks like it will. Always helps having spares for stuff like this.

Time to sell the Zed,thank you everyone.
If he's looking at spending 150k-200k, 10k is half the deposit. Plus if you haven't got a car that requires a space or storage to keep you don't need as bigger house etc. A lot of flats and houses come with just one parking space these days remember.

OEM or not :-)
Give it another 10 years.

OEM or not :-)
I am warning to the ambers, don't know why, I hate orange. Do we know that, that is a road car? It seems to be in a warehouse. It's nice to see that spoiler is bolted to the chassis instead of to the boot lid, cod as we all know the boot lid is really solid on the z, not.

Time to sell the Zed,thank you everyone.
Haha! I must confess sometimes we ate chilli too, living the dream. :lol: No matter how poor I get I'm never drinking Asda Ecconomy orange squash again, I'd rather just drink plain water, it's grim.

Starter removal
That's exactly what I was going to say. I had visions of the next question. " I can't get the crank bolt undone" while all 50kg of 17 year old hangs off a 30cm long ratchet. That crank bolt is TIGHT, you can't get an impact gun in there, so it's big bar and hope what ever you've done to lock it up holds. Stuff that, when you can do as you say, quick flick and bang it's off lol. It's not redneck Ali it's ingenuity, take it from a redneck.

Time to sell the Zed,thank you everyone.
You gotta do what you gotta do, as Gaz said bricks and life. I was lucky enough to keep mine and I do mean lucky, it was a case of timing a few weeks either way and it was going to range from the sale falling through, me flogging the zed for peanuts for a quick sale or it all working out. Fortunately it worked out. Stressful times though counting every penny, I now officially hate beans on jacket potatoe, there's only so many combinations of beans you can take after 18 months. :lol:

Moved on
After all that happened with the red one, to finally get this one sorted and sell it. The mind boggles.

Starter removal
Why are you removing the starter anyway? You need to start referring to the FSM Ali, it's got lots of information in there to help you do things right.
-
Starter removal
There are two main retaining bolts, m10 from memory. These are located at the 12 and 6 position. You also need to remove the electrical connections, please disconnect the battery first! Then it drops down. Should take you about 5 minutes. Leave the bottom one in finger tight, that way you can use one hand to take the weight and the other to remove the bolt. Stops it failing on your face which would hurt.

Coolant Leak
It looks like LSX or something similar, silicone rubber compound. Great for heating systems etc but not required for this. They probably fitted it dirty, left all the Ali oxide and crust on and wondered why it leaked, then gobbed that on to stop it, probably worked for a bit. Don't forget to test it with a hot engine, at full temp there's more pressure.

Coolant Leak
SFS hoses are pretty good normally Dan. Does seem odd, sometimes silicone hoses do struggle to seal as well as rubber. I'd pop the hose off and look at the mating face, maybe it's covered is crap and oxidation. I doubt it's anything sinister.

Calling all Trans-Am fans
The Bandit (Burt Reynolds) drives a black and gold 77 Pontiac Firebird in the second film it's a 79. So the black and gold has become the "bandit colours" a bit like the general lee being orange. So for it to be a bandit version it must be black and gold. If it's not black and gold it's just a trans am which is the higher spec version of a firebird.

There's a reason for that Ali. I'm guessing you haven't seen the films?

A day of zeddery.
I don't know tbh mate. They asked for the year, then came out a bit confused as it was listed as 2004 which I explained was the year of import. Seems correct to the settings I found previously.

Want one now!!!!

A day of zeddery.
Lol cheers Si. The bonnet needs a respray though, the paint I applied last summer blew over winter, annoying but hey. I think I put the cover on too quick. I feel it needs a splitter. Might ditch the fogs. Pretty tempted to reinstate the nose badge as well. And the door mirror mounts might go black yet. Quite like that stock look.
