Very jealous, please post pics of your trip! :thumbup:

:lol: :lol: :lol: to a certain extent I must agree with Dazza lol

Nice number plate :thumbup:

It shows you are healthy if they bite you, so look at it that way lol :thumbup:

Got it a while ago but it will probably end up on ebay lol... if you remember I bought some dodgy DMY one off some plonker... :lol:

Apexi Rev/Speed Meter, DVD Player, Start Button Prosport Gauges Greddy Boost Gauge Exedy Paddle Clutch & Z1 Lightweight Flywheel Tein Racing Master RA Coilovers Nitrous Mmmm Carbon 90mm Air Flow Meter HICAS bar Braided Clutch Hose Just need to get round to fitting them!!

Its been a while since I did an update, and I was bored and had the camera out so thought I'd take some piccies :saddam: First of all, the tired old red paint is being replaced with a fresh white coat. Long term plans I think are to reshell into a SWB probably next year, so main aim is to breathe some new life into the old girl. Got some more goodies and some already fitted to the interior:- OMP suede wheel Apexi AVCR Boost Controller Apexi Super Air Flow Converter Apexi Multichecker Blitz FATT Turbo Timer Glovebox Install Mine's ECU

I've sent 2 shells to the scrappers over the past year, both of which are a million times better than that! good luck with the project!

INTERPARCEL every time :thumbup:

Again, I have spare discs too. Sell the scirocco. Problem solved. :thumbup:

Geek. :lol: Saying that, sure this time last year mine was about 100... :shock:

Do you have the straps in the boot? If not I have a set for sale. The bags sit under the straps and then fasten down.

Far better mate, you've done a cracking job :thumbup:

nice one :thumbup: I agree about the UK bumper though - I'm in the middle of changing my UK one to an import! you are welcome to the UK one for free though if you want.

I was just saying that it doesn't seem funny anymore, but I was absolutely howling at the plastic pig bit! :lol: :lol:

Its a coin Dave. Belongs in a money box. ;)

I think that looks damn cool Peter! good job! :thumbup:

Fair enough, thanks guys :thumbup: number plate holder going in the bin and velcro is coming out! :clap:

I hope the above information is correct - after all it is from memory :sweatdrop:

Thanks Daz, yeah they should do it! Si - you don't have one? Is your plate just stuck to the rear bumper recess then? Yours should have one, surely? I like changing the plates over to Jap ones for photos so would be easier to unscrew one and fit the other like :thumbup:

The air induction valves (AIV's) only exist in the z32 models 1990-1992. The AIV's are part of idle emissions control. They introduce air into the exhaust before the catalytic converters so that the "cats" will work cooler and more efficiently. Removing the AIV's with a stock ECU chip in place can give problems passing state inspections for emissions at idle. The car will still run the same with or without the AIV's. The instructions here are for discussion purposes only, and not intended as a recommendation or endorsement for doing anything illegal to a car that might cause an increase in air pollution. Please review this site's Disclaimer. There is an AIV solenoid along with a tangle of vacuum tubing under the hood. The AIV's themselves are in the front fender wells, behind the wheels. The plastic fender liners are peeled back to access the AIV's. There is AIV metal tubing or so called "air tubes" that run from the AIV's to the exhaust midpipes under the car, connecting just upstream from the catalytic converters. There are AIV air tanks deep in the fender wells. Most people, including me, just leave the air tanks alone unless the fenders are already off for some other reason. The AIV's seem to come to the attention of Z owners either when their exhaust system or ECU chip is being upgraded. Many aftermarket mid-pipes or test pipes do not have bungs to connect the AIV "air tubes" to the exhaust. That is the perfect time to delete the entire AIV system. Then there will not be any plugged holes or capped tubing to catch unwanted attention during a visual inspection. When upgrading the exhaust, be aware whether or not the new midpipes have bungs for the AIV air tubing. Removing or deleting the AIV's while the stock midpipes are still in place is harder, but can still be done. Making sure the car can still pass a visual inspection should be a priority. All the aftermarket ECU (Electronic Control Unit) chips of which I am aware delete the AIV function. I have a Jim Wolf Technologies ECU chip, so the AIV's in my car were just taking up space and weight. After I installed my chip, I disconnected the and removed the AIV solenoid under the hood, and cut the vacuum lines from the solenoid at the right and left fenderwells leading to the AIV's. The AIV vacuum lines are T'd into I drove around like this for a couple of years before I finally got around to removing the AIV's units themselves, when I had the car on jack stands for some other reason. The AIV's are out of sight, so leaving them in place after a chip upgrade is acceptable, no harm, no foul. Getting rid of the AIV solenoid and vacuum hoses under the hood does clean up things a bit. My overall philosophy is to simplify the engine bay as much as possible, and getting rid of the AIV's themselves does help the heavy Z lose five or six pounds. However, if passing a visual inspections is critical for your Z, then you can simply leave the system in place. If in doubt, leave it alone. http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/137858.html need to remove them from your silver one! ;)

The rear end of a Z, with no rear bumper on, must be an import. Reason - I am changing the UK rear bumper for a JDM one and I need to know where the number plate holder needs welding on :cowboy: thanks in advance! :batman:

AIVs dude

he parks it in the harbour with the rest of the speedboats :sailor:

Good job Davo :thumbup: when you doing mine? :lol:
