Well I'll be damned.....!
I agree, although sadly our legal system isn't quite as good as we think. False conviction and inprisionment still happen. Look at American death row prisoners, there have been a number of innocents executed and that's why the process is now so long. Being 110% sure of guilt is pretty hard.

Rust inside the rear arch & brake pipes.
I thought you'd have it covered, a lot of people don't realise how these things vary.

Rust inside the rear arch & brake pipes.
I'm sure you've already factored this but your replacement bolts are the correct grade right? Think virtually all of them are 8.8.

rear brake upgrade
Trouble is those are not that common often pretty old and rather pricey for that gain. Stock; disc size 297x18 piston size 2x 38mm pad size 73x55mm Skyline; disc size 300x22 piston size 2x 40mm pad size 77x66mm The mentioned kit uses a 350mm disc and a caliper with 2x40mm pistons and a pad size of 77x66mm. Huge disc for heat and leverage, calipers itself is not very different to the skyline one but those calipers are extremely easy to find and cheap being used on evos 5-9. The only downside is the requirement of a bracket. If you've got the skyline/350 brembos or Evo ones mated to 320mm discs the skyline ones are probably pretty perfect if you can find them. The other larger ones are pretty beastly and are to compliment the larger Evo style fronts, with the 345mm discs. You will need big wheels to clear, 18" minimum.

Which version do you have? The 320 or 345mm fronts?

Kinda Zed related.??.....
There may be one or two members here that can help, not wanting to throw people's names in the hat though. Zclub.net would be a damn good place to start.

Code 34 detonation sensor
The connection should be on the firewall next to the O2 sensor and idle plugs. Big chunky square thing. I believe it's a white wire, there's a quirk to it though iirc, like to the plug is one cable and after is two. It's a perculiar sheathed cable that uses the sheath as a neutral.

My next project :yes:

Undertrays Z32TT
The front tray acts to drive air in the right place, air is fickle and will compress and redirect if not directed properly. The rear portion as Joel points out probably has purpose here too to create pressure difference, esp in idle conditions. However the fan cowel I suspect will have greater duty here. I would say it's main purpose is to protect the ancillaries items and thier belts as well as the engine from grime and debris. The alternator is in a particularly vulnerable location for water damage etc. Imagine how inconvenient it would be if a bit of flint flicked up, caught in the crank pulley and sheared a belt, you could quickly find yourself stranded, then you could die or worse. :lol:

Code 34 detonation sensor
The issue can be caused by the sensor or the loom. The code is for Det sensor circuit rather than sensor specifically. This could be a break in Sub harness for the sensor, the plug or further back. My problem was on the Engine harness side of the loom an inch behind the plug.

Project Dittohead Red

Project Dittohead Red
Number one project is settling down and we're getting some sleep, I've managed over the last few days to get bits for here and there but sadly now have a cold. My candles been well and truly burnt. The car however is together up front; Still got to sort the under tray and intercooler ducting, which I'm unsure on the take I'm going to employ still. Got these to sort out too, bit manky;

The next Z-car....??
I swear no car has had so many false stories and starts. Was it not completely shelved at one stage for that ugly IDX thing they then canned. Just stop mucking about and make it. You can guarantee one thing though, it will be another Renault coupe, a diluted, watered down wanna be GTR. It's not that I don't like the Z33/34, I do but they aren't a natural progression from the Z32.

He's only just put out the fire Pete, I suspect she's the queen of sheeba at present. :lol: wouldn't dare call her an old girl.

What did you do to your zed today?
Maybe a cracked oil ring. Is it actually using oil? Is it not worth having Jim look at it and officially writing it off before you get too excited. If it's got good compression that's a good thing, potentially.
