2 questions, BOV's and Boost
Gt525s are simply t28 cores jammed into t25 housings. They are essentially the same turbo as stock hence why they fit so nicely. The system is designed to have a bov within it, albeit a recirculating one. Why do you want to risk it? If you are over the noise fit some stock recircs and if you suspect them to be faulty test them. It may be worth changing the gauge for a more accurate or known working one if it feels like 18psi not 10 then it's possible as if like to think you would know the difference.

Probably heard this 1000's of times
Yes that's odd but not uncommon. It's often the passenger or curbside. My thought process has always been this side has a shit life getting covered in salty puddles etc when driving down the road. I think with zeds though it's possibly very likely that it's the side where the targa gets dirty so starts to damage the drain out location.

none then two come along!!!!
The cherry is a better looking car. I would walk straight upto it and inspect that rear passenger portion of the sill though. My eye detects a potential fix, that may be good or bad. might just be the light though.

Larger injectors
Detchwerks used to have a poor rep but they have changed a lot. Jecs are equally popular, venoms not so much.

new series of wheeler dealers
Apranently they have been asked about doing a z32 before and the answer was it's too much to take on basically. However the rx7 isn't a easy to work on car. So maybe times are changing who kbows.

new series of wheeler dealers
Two of friends had r5s one ended up getting scrapped as it went pop, the other ended up upside down in a field and as far as I know is still at my ex girl friends parents farm. I've never really liked them TBF. I just don't like hatchbacks, to me it doesn't matter weather it's a p reg fiesta with 60hp or a shiney new Astra Vxr they just don't float my boat. Coupe fanatic.

That price is ludicrous, I was looking at paying that a corner.

boosting at 6psi
Safety boost can be activated without reading a code. Boost leak test first then reset the ecu.

What did you do to your zed today?
That's them :) reviews for dry grip are great, I'm toying with either 265 or 255 I've got 265s ATM but they're ballony it's about £60 less for the 255s per pair.

What did you do to your zed today?

What did you do to your zed today?

Brake Upgrade

Brake Upgrade
Pretty sure that z33 brembos are 330mm. Some 345 discs will fit if the design on the wheel allows it. How much free space is behind your wheel.

No COTM in March.
Real shame this, now that the weathers improving hopefully more will be taking pictures and entering them.

I am thinking a Sunday. Open to suggestions of modifications to that plan as well.

March Newsletter
Hi guys for some reason a few of you it spits back the PM apparently you don't wish to receive PM's, possibly because were not "friends" that's a bug to be worked through but hey. So anyways.... To overcome this and make it available to Regis, here is this months: Hi guys, So March is here, where an earth did that come from? Longer days are coming and the last few days at least have seen some good weather. The long term forecast seems to be for this current fog/overcast conditions mixed with sunny days to continue through this month. so maybe we can squeeze something in before the end of the month, the previous plan was to have a meet going through from Swanage. I’ll fire up a topic in the south central forum after this has gone out and we can discuss some options for dates etc. So what's new? Well currently I think most of us are still SORN, mine certainly only came off that on Friday ready for this weekend. So obviously very little is going on. I've personally got a few little projects on the go which will be coming up on here as they happen. As a side note to that if you are doing things track days, cruises, or a local meet that's coming up please let me know so I can publish this, even if it’s afterwards to share some pics with other members. Equally if your struggling to meet your deadline for getting things sorted before the spring let me know and we will try to drum up some help if you so wish.... :D A meet has been drawn to my attention, which can be viewed here. It’s pitched to be fairly big, limited details at present but I will keep you updated. Current set date is May 24-26th Current details are here; http://bournemouthwheels.co.uk/whats-on/ Equally this one was brought to my attention by Sdriver73, on Easter Monday. Unfortunately I won’t be in attendance as I’m on call and my parents are coming over to England to stay with us, so im otherwise busy. Again I’ll pop that up as a thread in the south central zone and try to drum up an attendance list. Link for the event is here; http://www.springvehiclemeetandautojumble.co.uk/ That is really about it at present, if you have anything extra to add for us just give me a PM Happy Zeding.

Gearbox refitting help
Or it's jammed up tight on it so it turns...iirc the splined section of the clutch plate is an inch or so thick. If it's 2cms even all the way round your likely .5 of a cm into the clutch plate. Just keep wiggling and persisting eventually it will just go clunk. Then you will be wondering what all the fuss was about.

Tailgate perspex strip part number help
Mjp sells them and the price is very competitive, certainly cheaper than zcentre.

Gearbox refitting help
It can be a real *******. Me and Hellraiser struggled like hell with one once and ended up taking it back out the car to check everything. This was midnight and it was 3am before the box was finally home, there was nothing wrong with it we just had to try harder. Mine was also a pita, the first time. My father in law ended up getting hold of it and just manhandling it in, then we did the bolt trick we did on when I did it with Hellraiser. The second time we dropped the engine onto the box and it literally fell in, we used the old bolt trick to get it home the clunk of it going home was heard pretty quick and remember us both being like ey? Is that it? That can be it already.... The one thing I would say it make sure the clutch is aligned properly.
