I don't think that is peaches old car, that car had a 99 spec front...PM on it's way in any event.

Nissan normally have the washer on the shelf.

Shouldn't of traded in for a Renault then should you :p

You probably did lol my heads a sieve a lot if the time. That's not going in the 99 is it?

Sorry? What 6.6l v8?

I was thinking the same but didn't want to add insult to injury.

Lol "ain't no replacement for displacement"

Those v10s sound ungodly

How did that happen then, supposedly a very strong diff. I'm guessing failed gasket excessive wear?

Secret squirrel.

Spotted a z32 today eastbound on the m3 near Winchester today about 11.20 didn't see it very well

Is there not a thread about it in the national events section?

:lol:finished zeds? No such thing.

Pay a crap garage good money to bodge the death out of your car. - - - Updated - - - How are the china turbos going?

The exhaust cam vent is a crap design as well so can suck up oil, was it blowing out blue smoke?

I don't think the Pcv are supposed to be stuff G they are just a spring non return valve designed to be sucked open by vacuum pressure, may as well fit new though while your there. It's also normal to have a film of oil in the plenum just not puddles, as the crank case gases contain oil and are injected through here.

It would run the same as normal, its simply an exhaust joint there really. I don't expect the heat involved in welding that up did it much good though. Welding cast ironull of fail in itself, it must be preheated and cooled correctly else teweld will fail, doing tisn't in the realm of someone who would do this. Utter bodge.

Your still using the z32 gearbox in its stock position yeah?

Dunno yet thatvwas one of the questions I was going to ask you. Cheers bri il call Saturday.

That reminds me sir, I need to ask you about a roofing matter. I want to change my 1970s concrete lintle porch into a peaked roof.

Fantastic size, very jealous.

Pretty sure iirc s13 or 14 I think both are the same gaitors and track rod ends are the same which can be sourced from the likes of euro car parts for sensible money. I would also do both, replace the track rod ball joint and while they are off you can do the steering rack gaitors, easier that way and you won't be pusses off taking it apart to do the other side next year when find that ones gone.

Weren't that age of mercs really bad with the electronics as well? I has a friend at that time who worked for them and he was saying about how often they broke and how he would never buy one. That being said my mother has an a class in that age bracket and whilst is a horrible car to drive mechanically it's fine.

If cylinders don't make a difference when you turn them off they arnt working, your looking for a noticeable drop in revs and usually a change in note. Go through diagnostics for each cylinder, check plug gap/condition, ohm injector, clean the connections and check you are getting spark and fuel at each cylinder. I take it ignition timing is correct and that you have cleaned and secured the CAS at ptu connections?

Your going about it all wrong mate, as said get that zed on a classic policy. Mine is also about £200 a year, to insurance it normally is twice that I checked recently. Could I get something more reliable and powerful, of corse but it would likely be butt ugly and expensive to insure. It's a classic car reep the rewards.
