For such a commonly used Nissan part they are hard to find a rebuild kit for. Anyone found a good UK source other than the Zcentre as it's extortionate from there.

The mot merely tests for the ability to stop with a given amount of force or something. It doesn't take repeat ability into consideration. Yeah your right though, scarey. It's a weird thing the mot. For starters its a 12 month certificate that becomes invalid the minute it's issued.

Well something is definitely not right. I drove it round the block today to test the brakes and engagement is poor. The peddle does nothing for the first half of travel then engauges. It's worth trying to bleed again but I think there's a piece of the puzzle missing and am starting to lean towards a failed or failing master cylinder.if that's the case I'm just going to have to put it to one side now till July . :(

Loosing cylinders and cutting out on a hot engine only to magically fix itself once cooled down is classic series 1 PTU problems. So it would be worth trying a different one. It's also worth pulling the plug to see what it looks like excessive blackness or a wet plug may give clues to the issue.

I swear draxan had a set and half of them didn't fit. I would just double, check and confirm that they will issue a refund if wrong.

Beautiful standard of work that.

Looks like early style injectors and rail.

Cool look forward to seeing them.

Well done Chris. Forth I see as well, what that overall or class specific?

Even with the taxes and postage it will still be cheaper to buy from America. Parts are extortionately expensive at times over here. Ordering little bits simply isn't cost effective but for larger orders Z1 is a great saving. You also won't find that turbo kit for sale over here. You can buy those turbos here of corse but you would have to create a kit to allow you to fit them. Oil feeds/returns to sort etc and I believe the front housing is a bit if a pita to convert, a gt2560 I think it's called off the too of my head is easier to convert. If you went that route though you would need to do lots of your own research.

Cheers for that Noel. Your lead time is quite long ATM isn't it? Obviously I took every precaution to ensure I wasn't fitting a duff block but it needs road testing, I've only driven it about 2 miles due to the brake problem. There's no point booking it in until I'm happy it's ok. Once I've managed to test it though and am happy il be able to discuss booking it in with you.

Ok I won't worry about it then. Makes life easier.

Well I can be a horrid person :lol: to be fair the state of sone of the bushes that were changed on my rear subframe there's no wonder it was like a Ping pong ball.

Enjoy it Pete. Would love to join in but well you know. NA or TT these cars are horrid I launch nicely as you know. What size are they? Bit of sidewalls gotta help.

Lol. That is the way to do it Pete, sadly I think it's fun to tinker and then once I start remember it's not, only to forget that before the next round of fiddling begins. I need to get my head around exactly what the switch does then test the situation. To make an appropriate modification be it with or without the neutral switch.

If I'm not using it what should the base timing be set to then? 25? As that's what it is now.

Well the callipers fixed and fitted, got the brakes bled and the car on the floor. Road test next. Hopefully that's it sorted. I also eyed up the alignment with the wheels on and it's sitting a lot better. Less camber required on the rear still though and about another 12-25mm to drop on the front. It's getting there. Still need to visit the neutral switch conundrum too. Bit busy this weekend though, it's a certain persons stag do....

In that case I think you've done very well. Maybe the pictures make it look better, but yeah good job.

That looks like a nice job you have done there. Was that rattle cans?

Cheers rich.

Works now :)

Ok il do that mate. I re subbed on Sunday night I think via paypal on the link. - - - Updated - - - 2014! No I've defiantly not been unsubbed since then.

Still can't send Pm's

Pop it on a flatbed and take it to jimmer for a proper diagnosis.

Are you planning to do the work yourself?
