Very nice. I take it it's reasonable money then...?

Sorted. Had a chat with gaz and he said check the ptu, after some chatting between us it was obvious the most likely fault was an incomplete circuit from the ptu to the coil. Popped the ptu out and low and behold one of the pins was green, odd really as the rest were clean as a whistle. Anyway clean it up and tried again. Boom we are back on six! :hyper: Also got the horn working. Stupid Bosch relay that's been hacked to bits more than once causing the fault, so the wiring goes from the connector behind the indicator to the horn, works a beauty. Which is the important thing.

Right, injector is supplied 13v and seems functional. So the fault appears to be spark related, the node light for the spark says no and I pulled the plug etc and tried it nothing. So I know the fault just need the cause.

Project Dittohead Red
Right, I just realised after rereading some bits. The positive supply to the injector is constant the negative however is switched at the ecu, therefore you need to go injector positive to ground to take the 12v reading. Which after trying it, it does.

It's cyl 1 mate, identified it yesterday. Yeah your right just at 8am on a Sunday, she's a little loud right this second lol. I pulled the plug too it was dry but I went and gave it some heat just incase it was fuel fouled which it wasn't.

Right this misfire is annoying me now. I've done what I can this morning without turning the engine on, Sunday morning with no back boxes is a bit antisocial. The injector ohms good, tested them all during assembly anyway, the coil pack ohms good, so now it's just a case of weather they are getting power or rather which one isn't. I did try to take a voltage reading from the injector connector which is something I've not tried before, but couldn't get 12v AC or DC from any of them ignition on or off... Maybe it's time to get a noid light on it. I have swapped the coil pack from a known worker but as I say It did ohm good.

Apparently there are about 10 people in the 350 club waiting desperately. Contact 370ad and I'm sure he will rectify the issue for you Scott.

General Election
Not quite. 66% of the eligible population voted in this general election. Xfactor doesn't get any where near that viewing figure let alone people that actually vote. Of that 34% of eligible voters who btw are just as entitled to choose not to vote as to vote, how many are engaged enough to make a proper decision? I chose to abstain this time for several reasons, including a wild conspiracy theory haha. However I think I probably put more thought into that choice than 50% of those 66% who just went and ticked what they always ticked... I stand by my choice. If, if I decide to vote next time that's also my choice in this free country, so il decide then what to do.

Picked up the bits from Si today, or rather he dropped them off to me when I was in swindon. So that's a result. Got back and fitted the battery and fired her up. So we have life. It's running on five ATM but il sort that, hopefully it's something silly, the old engine was runnin on five aswel but I didn't keep track of which plug and coil pack was which. Front bumpers on. And the rear suspension is assembled. Just gotta fix the misfire, fit and bleed the brakes and oh work out what's going on with the damn horn which appears to have got disconnected.

General Election
They should certainly be a far more official plan. Ie you can't promise it without showing how you will achieve it and you can't just go back on those promises without good cause as a last resort, not just because it's not convenient.

General Election
I won't be voting. Not because I'm apathetic, I have listen and thought a lot. I just cannot bring myself to pick the least worst option. If there was a none of the above box that would be my choice. Force them to grow up behave and cone up with proper policy, oh and reform the way it all works. If I were to chose I would be voting conservative. Hoping for a coalition between them and the libs again or Ukip just to put the brakes on Dave and stir the pot when necessary.

What did you do to your zed today?
I have drilled and slotted fronts, which will be matched at the rears. Just got stock pads ATM. I'm sure il find a typically impractical stressful solution.

What's up with yours? Or did you just want the shell?

Diff output shaft???????
Yeah that's it.

Diff output shaft???????
It just struck a bell as I was reading about how someone had converted to a skyline R200 as the drive shafts etc where stronger than the 200 design but still gave you the NA z32 ratio more or less. Apparently the NA stuff was snapping on big launches.

Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao
At least with google you get an answer, one that isn't in the form of an open ended question. However the "answer" may be a bit temperamental due to it being supplied by a sweaty teenager called Eric who's girlfriend looks suspiciously like the other one he cheated on her with the other day, miss L Palmer I believe was her name.

Yeah seen it around then. You drive along the main road by my house quite regular.

glove box lock removal
I seem to remember you use the key itself. Put it in the lock and pull or something like that. It's been a few years since I did that and I only stumbled on it by chance. I swear that's how it works but I may be wrong.
-
Diff output shaft???????
200sx one isn't it? Six bolt flange arranged in three pairs? R200 diff bit not like the one in a skyline which has a six bolted flange like a z32. That's my guess anyways.
-
What did you do to your zed today?
Give me till Saturday lol. I was ready to test fire Monday but couldn't find some hose I needed to complete. I'd finish it now but I'm sat in a brewers fayre on the M5, not going home tonight.

? 240z
240s are one of those cars that if you have to ask or follow the beaten track it's probably not for you. Deep pockets and or lots of mechanical talent are required. It's a car that rusted well when they were new so time has not been kind. I do love them though and would love an s30 chassis with a v8. Sadly I don't have the time or finances to support two toy cars.
