Having a mind blank, do I need to drop the engine crossmember for removal without the box? The cars currently on stands at the front, will I need to shift the support to axel stands to allow it to drop. Looking to do this today and my mind is blank.

You need to locate the cylinder at fault first and foremost. Then diagnose why, fuel, spark, compression, timing unlikely if it's one that's wrong. Most likely duff wiring but your shooting in the dark till then.

Saw a dark coloured zed zipping along the M4 today about 13.45ish. Couldn't be more specific as I only saw the roof line over the Armco I was heading east in the van.

I haven't done it myself so you would have to look it up but I believe certain ones do. You need the side feed ones as apposed to top feed. The other thing is I think all skyline injectors are what we consider "new style" shape and therefore require an adapter and new connections on the loom. I'm looking to utilise subaru ones personally for the same reason you out lined.

In that case defiantly buy the lot. Better to have it and not need it, otherwise it will be sat there waiting for the part at the shop and no one likes that.

You doing the work yourself Gary? I just changed the pulleys as two were noisy and the third was leaking grease. It had had a belt change in recent years so after inspection I deemed it unnecessary to change the tensioner itself, but it would be your choice. This engine has been serviced to a budget. If the money is there it makes sense to change such a vital little component.

How small do you want to go? The little vac pipes have no clamps from factory.

Where did the strut braces come from?

As per usual. When I have more time il be ripping ours up and redoing it. The previous owner fitted(bodged) it, so gaps between the slats and no run off so it's suffered and has got very damp and rotted in places. Numpty. TBF they did worse to this house lol.

Would a meter on AC on the connector not show this up? Broken or incomplete circuit, no voltage?

Did you get that number (18") from the AEM installation guide? If so is follow thier recommendations. And put it 18"/45cm away from the manifold, at a guess that's about a third of the way down the front pipe not in the turbo elbow at all.

Have you isolated which is missing?

I think you will find a well made crimp is actually a better than a soldered join.

Woah! Big improvement, is it all just cosmetic or is there a performance boost too? One thing though, get yourself a fan shroud buddy. Aftermarket rad without shroud=oem with.

That's more like 8" rather than 18" bud.

I take it your not a fan of decking as decking? The trouble is if you try to make something out if it's do distinctive it just looks like you've made something out of decking....personally I love stepping out the back door onto ours it's nice having something wooden for bare feet.

Speak to MJP he may have a good source. I think you will find the hand brake assembly isn't a Z32 specific part, pretty sure skylines are the same. So pattern stuff may be available.

Wouldn't like to guess, but having seen your car a few times is a lovely clean example. Be sad to loose you though bud.

I believe all tickets stand tickets are now allocated. It's worth keeping your eyes open as there are often drop outs, happened to me last year. The thread is here. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?179818-Japfest-2015-Deadline-for-ticket-payments-is-Wednesday-18th-March/page5&highlight=Japfest It's worth contacting 370ad as I would assume anyone dropping out will notify him. Your not the only one looking for tickets though I'm afraid.

Wiked, il sort it out tomorrow morning.

Haha! I would happily cover postage?

Right, cheers for that. I take it I can pop to maplins etc? I may even have one already. I've done away with the dett sensor on the block now.

Does it matter on the wattage rating?

Can I just clarify. What is the exact rated resistor to complete this?

Good good. Always worth a quick flick through the FSM before doing anything for the first time. Saves little mishaps. Should take that advice myself lol.
