Injector identity.
Yeah, the winter before last the engine got very damp without my knowledge, when spring came around that was what I was greeted with. The injectors have already been de greened, as I've got the whole lower intake off for the engine swap.

I'm not about most of this week but I'm free all day Saturday mate.

No I mean psyically, can you actually fit an early fuel rail to a late head as that appears to be what's been done.

Injector identity.
Well this just got more confusing. The lower plenum from the NA engine, has a 10Y lower plenum. But appears to have early spec turbo injectors, that shouldn't work should it? So confused now. Left is the 30p intake and right is the 10y intake.

I might be interested in this depending on when it is and when the deadline is.

Mistype maybe? Maybe should have been £50?

Buying used shocks.... Buyer beware!
No no, English was great Hubert. Thanks for that, there's always the chance you would fit without inspection and without fluid leaking you may not realise if you never pushed the car.

What side effects would have been witnessed if they had never been disassembled?

My Zeds makeover
Liking that bud, very clean and unfussy. I'm glad more people are being bold enough to use that spoiler, it was unpopular for a long time I didn't like it myself orginally but it can look great. Are you going to retain the stock wheels?

Another Zed off the road
Oh and btw it will almost certainly be quicker to pull the engine and you will get a better job in the end. Unless you've simplified the bay ALOT pulling the tubs in situe is a notorious pita.

Another Zed off the road
Get yourself a compression test done. That's exactly how my rebuilt turbos now look after a cylinder died last summer. Excessive crank case pressure stops the turbos draining properly and it bleeds out the real seal into the exhaust housing, on overrun where there is lots of crank case pressure you loose more oil and it pools out the core like that. I believe that's what mine are doing anyway as as long as you don't let the car over run it doesn't smoke. Turbo real seal failure is typically light grey smoke that wafts at idle or billows out as you pull away after prolonged idle. If it's blue smoke then it's likely ingested oil that has been combusted, either from it being sucked into the cylinder, Pcv and blow by etc. Second hand motors are always a gamble, a great looking block may have been sat on the shelf for 3 years to run great for ten minutes then start failing. Conversely they can be a great solution if a rebuild isn't financially feasible. Rebuilt turbos are always a bit hot and miss, failure rates are quite high sadly. The quality of the rebuild preformed and the subsequent rebalancing have a big impact on that. If they were rebuilt by turbo technics though you would assume it was done to a fair standard. My money is on excessive blow caused by low compression.

What did you do to your zed today?
They look alright for baby brakes :p

Injector identity.
Strange how drastic the colour change is on TT injectors yet NA injectors remain red.
-
Injector identity.
Yeah so I've found, TT are supposed to be grey I'd describe mine as brown though...the wiki space sort if suggests these are as I suspected first gen tt injectors. https://z32.wikispaces.com/Fuel+Injector

Injector identity.
I've not had the joy of playing with a NA 300zx, so just want to check with those more used to the view. Are these as I suspect some dirty ass phase 1 TT injectors or phase 1 NA injectors.

Project Dittohead Red
Believe it or not after about 4 hours of work in total the engine is almost ready to pull. Just the starter, ps pump, alternator, engine mounts and bell housing bolts to go, oh and slacken the subframe an inch or so. So by the weekend it will be ready to come out.

Another Funkysi project car?
I instantly thought that too, very 70s firebird looking rear. It doesn't however work.
