my water pipes were full of bits of the plenum water assembly...yuk

cheers for the replys guys but as ive said ive binned the whole egr thing solenoids hard lines the lot, so i need the corrected sized bung for the manifold, i was going to fabricate some nice blanking plates for the plenum. but if someone has a modestly priced egr delete kit thats better for me as it saves tinme does the job properly etc. however if needs be i can always get hold of an egr assembly and do what everyone else has done.

I reused mine but cleaned them.

I threw the egr out in disgust

I cant see how that works on a cast manifold and something made nostly of copper :s

Yeah I can do that the threaded nut thats on the hard line is dead. The manifold thread thankfully is fine.

The hole in the manifold what did you put in there? ,ant work ouy what the thread size is etc to do it.

Looks very nice, good quality photos.

Wehay happy birthday

We got mineout from the side with frony still on. Gotta get it back in tough yet.

That would be scarey like a loaf of bread with a bottle rocket strapped to it

I thought this may be the case, as I toyed with moving over there.

Thing is thoughi know everyone gets excited and blames ol series one, but how many zeds are there driving around on 20 plus year old series 1s with no falut to the unit? Yes they can fail but look at it differently are you really suprised after playing with thevrest of the engine loom those years havent taken thier toll.

Ahh stoke on trent tge memories, you shoulda known bettervand taken your six shooter ombray.

anyone?

they dont like getting wet! you may find you have to disconnect your battery for a little while to see any difference

fuse number 19 is apparently the back up lamp fuse, and its looking like the reverse light is the same on a nissan navara and many other models x trail etc.

check for a spark first off, if its there its possibly happening at the wrong time, ie the cas has moved when you were poking about maybe? but its never going to start with flooded plugs, take them out and hit them with a blow torch or on the hob till they stop burning red fire and just blue flame is coming out.

this is why i refuse to park out on the road, or drive my zed into any city.

right today we tested the switch it passed intermittently, after removing it and trying it off the car it still only works intermittently, so the switch is jiggered. we did also apply a live to the pins in the wiring loom and the lights lit up yey! however testing with a multimeter there is no live being supplied to the plug next to the hicas. which may also be an issue or is it because the alternator/transmisson loom is disconnected, from memory they are the same loom?

checkl out john dixons v8 zed

bet its not as fast as slick petes dog ha

lol yeah il bite, dont really see the point by the time you've sorted everything out financially and time wise what will you have really gained? yeah the vg has its weak points what doesnt, as pointed out above the rb does have its weak points aswel. all in reality you will have gained is an engine with a different layout of cylinders, which has slightly more room either side sits too high but hell thankgod though cos when it blows up cos its almost as old as the vg your removing theres lots of parts available and a larger group of experienced tuners. if your going to do something differnt what about a twin turbo or super charged ls1? i dont dislike the idea of an rb engined zed, far from it its just if your going to do something like this youve got to do it properly with a freshly built engine, which in reality unless your chasing monster monster power your pocket and free time arnt going to gain very much from the conversion.

that wont be an issue for long :) infact the whole fecking sludge box wont be my boy. we have it converted to manual in a single day.

Ive seen the same one a few times round sounds unholy.
