This is part of why I believe Corbyn will win, people have short memories and as such we boom and bust and as we go we flit between tight fisted Conservatives and overspending Labour.

Thing is Great Britain isn't about how good it is, it's about what it encompasses it should really be called Greater Britain. As far as it not being as good as it was, certainly in recent years not much has changed. Recent media reports that it had dropped to 6th in the economic tables was a bit of a untruth. Certainly by the criteria used it's still 5th. The world bank however rates us as 9th. Furthermore real movements are predicted over the next 2-5 years that will see smaller Economies growing economies over take (not just the U.K.) not one of them is in the EU... it's certainly in a better position than most EU countries, most are still in recession. As for the United Kingdom, we really will have to see how that plays out. I'm not as clued up on Scottish independence as I could be. However from what I understand. Support for Scottish independence and inclusion in the EU is far lower than what the SNP claims and relations with the EU will be complex to say the least, expect strong opposition from the Spanish. Didn't the SNP fail to gain the required number of signatures and had to get support from the Greens, something in the back of my mind says there's suggestion that the second indie ref doesn't even forfill the criteria they set out cause of said signatures. With Scotland as an independent state it would have a smaller GDP and higher debt than Greece (which is still suffering), in fact recent suggestions were that scotlands debt accounts for 2/3rds of Britians debt as a whole and is the largest in the EU. With this in mind Miss Sturgoen is literally going to have to bend over and take it right up the shitter from Jean Claude to get even close to what she wants. At which point she will have to start explaining the other problems she's got that she's hiding behind independence for. Truth is we all have just got to wait and be prepared to get noisey when our employees (the government) step out of line. Most of what doing the rounds is posturing and hot air from both sides desperately trying to save their own skins. They say Brexit is turkey day and the Turkeys do not want to vote for Christmas. It's more than that it's a five bird roast and they're all trying to not be in the stack. Interesting times indeed. Still think Jeremy Corbyn will be the next PM though.

Oh right, looked like it was floating.

The current wheel position is realativly immaterial, soon as you drop it on the floor and it compresses it will all change. Also the lower you go, retaining correct camber the closer toward the body the wheel will become. I lost about 10-15mm dropping mine 2".

So I finally found a configuration that worked for the brake bracket. Just got to have a quick chat with one or two people smarter than myself about the design and any short comings but I'm pretty happy with it. My first Prototype version failed, the hole centres where good but there was excessive interference between the caliper and hub. I'd created this in attempt to prevent the caliper facing down and looking goofy. This is all to be expected I spose and what happens when you transfer paper to reality with not much room to play with. A quick rehash realigned the angle between the two sets of mounting points and allowed me to add more material to one of the tighter mounts, win all round and version 3.1 was born on paper. Transfer of the design to a wooden prototype allowed me to mock up design and thankfully it all fits. Here's a pic of the caliper mounted to the disc at last. So as I say, so box ticking to do then production. Then just the tiny secondary issue of getting the brake line to fit and the wheel to go over it all because currently it fouls...:whistling:

If you do a search there's a thread from Mark Derby at Automodz asking the same question, think there's pictures with the answer.

This is everyday for me. I regularly do stuff like this. Travelled to Rotterdam to fit a switch a few years back. Often do 8 hour round trips for operator error like this. Ladies and gents we have a winner.

Don't think that's just limited to the Torries.

Like I say it's a bit misleading I actually drove 160 miles one day, to one location, then over 100 to yours, a 100 back. Then the following day I drove the 170 miles home. So whilst the whole round trip was 620 miles to yours it was spread over three days and punctuated by actual work. It's still beaten hands down by my 17 hour round trip where I spent 1 hr on site in Endinbourgh, long day that. I do get up to some funny stuff to be fair. I love coming home from the Netherlands though as if I fly I land before I left...magic. :lol:

If you were going that route I'd suggest to blend them in. Be a bit half assed otherwise.

Have to say I think they look better than the ones Si posted which look home made. With my car being red the stock ones work best but I can see them looking better on your dark coloured car. If you just went black, well it would be a bit Barry boys.

It would be crap, but the anti Conservative narrative is high in the people, for various reasons. Labour are too weak and Corbyn to unpopular to snatch a majority. With the Remain camp so vocal and Liberals actually showing anti Brexit favour many of this lot will vote liberal. I think it's highly likely that the Conservatives will actually loose, narrowly, there will not be enough to support elect the current Labour Party and the protest vote will surge Liberals back but they again won't have enough clout alone. Leaving the option on the table for them to join forces. Probably promise to trigger a second referendum at the end of article 50. Of corse I could be way off but the bookies odds will be good on it with the current odds for a Conservative victory. I've called it right the last three times so I recon its worth £20 (which buys you nothing since 2008 anyway).

Polls Tony, polls. I'm going to go place an outside bet on a labour/liberal coalition with a default result of a Corbyn run government.

I did a 620 mile round trip to Brian's house once, but there's more to that that it reads so that's a little misleading.

Il text you some measurements at some point as I'm nearly at the fitting stage at the back, it's tight in the wheel...

You and that loft. :lol:

Can no one finish the job they started these days? Sod Corbyn this could be far more harmful and turn Brexit into a giant waste of money.

Are you sure the CAS is at fault? Your base fault is "No Spark" correct? If so follow the routing back from the coils. I had a similar issue and it was the 4 pin connection on the PTU. Not saying this is the case but you know the CAS works manually so try not to fixate there and have think about other parts of the chain.

Those are stock 370cc phase one injectors I'm afraid.

Looking at the pictures, your indeed correct. That is not a HKS intercooler, it's a universal front mount. Likely Chinese part like this; http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/TWIN-TURBO-ALUMINIUM-FMIC-FRONT-MOUNT-INTERCOOLER-FOR-NISSAN-300ZX-SKYLINE-GTR-/150808701775?hash=item231ce62b4f%3Ag%3AD6QAAOSw2xRYkzfa&_trkparms=pageci%253A91a88a3b-235a-11e7-a4e7-74dbd180884e%257Cparentrq%253A7b81cb9b15b0a60cd80f55d1fff14fd0%257Ciid%253A6 I'm not saying that's a problem but it's certainly not the high end part you were told. Did we not establish a while back that this isn't a genuine veilside car but simply a veilside kitted car? I think there's some very liberal truth...

Throw up some pictures of the bits that are supposed to be different, we will soon tell you.

Shouldn't this thread title be: "Does anybody have one of Zee's brochures" ;)

Stock SMIC configuration (with a bigger cooler); Universal FMIC as you had; HKS style; TDM works; It might seem like not much but when you consider how much of an improvement you make increasing your piping diameter, adding more restrictions and length is a bad choice...up to you what you want to do at the end of day.

What makes you think they have failed? I notice your engined failed? Who rebuilt them? You may find if itsboil starvation they refuse your warranty btw.

Fair enough, if that's all you wanted though you could of just unplugged the MAF and driven it forward and back without that bodge pipe. Just an FYI unless your sold on the looks of the front mount id retain the SMIC location. The front mount most commonly used (which isn't Z32 specific) removed the cross over design of the system, increases intercooler pipe length, whilst also increasing under bonnet tempretures. All of which are undesirable. Unless you spend big bucks on a TDM works front cooler which allows shortening of the lines and an efficient core a front mount is often a poorer choice than SMIC on these cars.
