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.

recived a "new" japspeed exhaust for a memebber which is spot on. there are however afew surface spots of rust popped up like speckles. i did start to autosol them and it started to come up ok.... anyone know a more productive method for this sort of work?

run a multimeter over the injector and ohm it you should get a resistance of around 13/14 i believe dont quote me on that. highter or lower and it has failed open or shut and is no longer funtioning. however check the connection itself quite common corrosion has got inside.

gaz pop down to forset leasuire cycles. my mate used to be the assisant manager, sure there one or two of them still work there, they fitted a bike rack to greg howes lambo a few years back sure they can work out a zed one lol

i have a pair of the clear lense peices never used.

larger rolling diameter rolling disc means larger breaking surface while your right that would be optimised by a caliper that covers the full width. its something i plan to do myself. where can i get those adapter plates from though???

dave i dont mean to be rude mate but im sure people where pointing you this way last week. before the oil change. as i say not being rude just saying....you know. anyways i agree maf does sound likly, many people pop off the trim under the passenger side wiper above to battery to allow excess heat to escape, doesnt normally cause issues. if you have an aftermarket air filter, as you say no aftermarket nose panel. often these will allow the water to do what steve said. im sure and some one will help to claify but if you pop off the maf connection and reset the ecu. it should idle properly, but not rev above 3k mine had this issue a few months back.better still if you coould get sum1 to datascan or conzult it this would show up.

might be worth speaking to mr.f hes generally a fair bit cheaper.

i would do the water pipes on teh back of teh block and pop the plenum off and do afew jobs under there be a waste to pull it in and out then find it drips on the over run or something equally niggly

abs pump in teh back been done?

i dont tink it will be the disk and teh pad, it will be where somethings not gone back toghther properly. is there an adapter plate on the calipers? maybe theyre not sittiong square

could it be that the cam durations would be wrong for example the exhuast side would stay closed too long., allowing too much air into the cyldnder then the pressure would build up beyond the norm
