400bhp and sod all charge cooling that engine will be toast.

thats ok mate once im under there im sure it will make more sense im pretty sure i can visulaise what your on about from looking down there earlier with a torch. thankyou all for taking the time to help :D

that fog light think is weird aswel as the corner lights are blanked. why has it got a non turbo front bumper ? and smics? :S i smell torro theres a turbo lump in there tho far too many intercooler hoses fron an na

thanks for that detailed exaplination thats very helpfull. il get it jacked up and the intake pipes off tomorrow have a good looksee and report back i thnk from what i can see down there its most likliy gonna end up being what youve just said ian. as ive seen the corrosion and the dampness down there. cheers graham il check the bolts are tight while im poking about tomorrow. any idea what jeff charges? theres a local company that will make it up for me but if its cheaper il have jeff send one out.

cheers for taht im have to inspect and see where ive got damp its difficult to see just by looking with ebverything in place. i take it removing the lines is simply a case of undo each end undo retaining clip s then slide out?. replace refill bleed out air..

i have this also always assumed it was the 3 brake light missing now ive fitted aone and well ity has made no difference.

haha i was making it up but it sounds good dont it.

is that the sort inch diameter one i spotted? im gonna get in underneath tomorrow looks to me like a job best inspected from below. dont think the pot itself is leaking. theres not excessive fluid round it. i take it the one your reffering to vods in the one i can see running down the side of the rad towards teh steering rack? there are rust joins on that with dampness on them. im guessing best just to pull it out and have anew one knocked upa nd fit it.

thats to accentuate the sidewayness of it. bit like when the kids would spell it sidewayz

bump

wise idea zedworld will see you right.

getting a bit annoying now gets through about quater of a litre a month now and causes smoke. when it stick on teh exhaust under the car. anyone got a map of the lines from the pot? the puddle collects under the pot area. think i can see it leaking from one of the joints. anyways any tips guys other than get stck in? i guess im being lazy....need to get it done...

lol leave it with me some louvered vents will be making an appearance. at some point in the next 10 years takes me ages to do anything these days working is so inconvient hahahahah

good work. i like stuff like this, wish i had more time to fiddle

dont be silly lol the only thing aftermarket on my car atm is the air freshener lol im poor :( and soon to become poorer lol

yup esp if its a poor weld that has become porus and has become containated. its all to do with the shroud of the welding torch and the gass setting. the quality of the rod loads of things. i saw a very expensive piece of stainless the other day with shit welds that are rusting a few months after placement. :( poor quality job in general tbf(not the exhaust the handrail i was looking at)

i was thinking about outsmarting him with a strange flap system that allows air to pass but prevents dirt entering because of the direction of travelof the wheel :D

thats what i was thinking but i was also thinking that wouldnt be agreat idea because of the shite off the road getting in the arch

it is its 304 grade i believe you would need 316 to truly fend off the rust bug. and even then over time some oxidation would occur. if it contains iron it will rust eventually

s13s are quick but a zed isnt well now you have definatly lost me.

sounds like it. you can also do the screwdriver check run the engine and listen down the shaft you should hear it clicking. uniformly with the others.

ive done a bit before used to work for a stainless fabrication workshop welding polishing etc. just not very good at it lol

i was looking at my car today front on and thought hey where do those intercooler ducts actually go....so i had a sneeky peek in teh arch. no venting there. i did notice a cheeky piece of plastic taht direrts dirty road air towards my brakes for cooling swish ey. but where is all this air shes sucking in those two side holes going? does it reroute into the engine bay does it hit a brick wall? if i assume correctly that it just goes into the wing and does nothing it seems silly. should be be opening up a pathway for the air to go and thus increase teh cooling capacity of these smic and therefore lower intake temps and produce more bhp? im sure mr nissan is blantly smarter than me and has redirected them to a secret location unknown to me.

awesome i wa thinking along taht line actually mate. just didnt knw where the hell to get one. il pick one up tomorrow need some psf anyways.

my mate has a type r the shape before the current one. the one you think of when people say typeR we drove to cornwall last year, real fun drive be he seriously couldnt keep up with the zed once it got going. we were both stock at the time. close for a fair while but then the zed just gets in its stride and its gone. obviously we didnt push it too hard...i know for a fact that that even in standard form the zed surprises me sometimes. its not the feel of acceration as taht itself isnt always that impressive with teh auto box but its teh way the speedo moves, i regularly get out of the car thinking ****......corse there are faster things out there but generally they coat a damn site more to buy and run. what other 20 year old car can you blast about it enjoy cruise control. and over take like a bat out of hell. that 50 upwards range in the right gear is unholly fast, and without a keen eye on the speedo could get you in alot of trouble very fast lol. i orginally brought my zed because i liked the way it looked and it was quick. and the eccomony was far better than the camaero i wanted instead. two years later and i def want to keep it, yes it a little tepremental but its 20 years old, as much as my mrs says she dislikes it shes coming round each trip out in the sun makes her like it a little more. and when i drop her off its my time to play on the way home. all this who is quicker malarky means nothing unless its in real life , and its stupid to play this game on the street, where 90% of our cars live. if you want to know how quick the zed is its gotta go on the track, it quickly runs out of road to display its talents.
