Sounds like a good idea but that would be more hassel at the moment, im running around as is already. stuck it on ebay anyway lets see what happens

thanks guys you just made it easier to make this decision, guess she's gonna be sold

Well did a bit of work to the old girl this weekend, changed the inlet manifold gasket, rocker cover gasket and also changed a few of the rubber hoses as well. But got a boom shell from work friday saying i'll be posted to canada come end of june:sad:. The first thing that came to mind before the family was "oh no my Z". might be away for maybe three year and I know what you guys gonna say put it in storage. as much as it hurts me to think about it but might be selling the Z. Still looking at a plan B but if it dosen't go as planned then I might have to sell her.

All done today and she runs perfect:thumbup:

:thumbup1: thanks guys

Hi i'll be replacing my upper plenum gasket this weekend, any tips?

My one was in one piece till i asked the wife to open my boot one day and and she ripped the thing apart. so learnt my lesson

welcome to the club, im not to far from you mate :thumbup:

will have a look m8 but this would be a last resort as i wouldnt mind a used one

What are you tring to make ted?:cool3: been trying to get one for ages now and still no luck, might have to go straight to nissan

cheers ted you right take it this is a must fix then or can it run with out it

thanks mate will do

well had a look again, nothing i can do at the minute need a plenum gasket plus everythings so fragile need to change loads of rubber pipes round the back of the inlet manifold, found a 2 pin connector like the cam shaft sensors just hanging on the back of the engine been looking for ages cant seem to find were its broken. can anyone sort of direct me to someone with the few bits i need and this 2 pin connector as well any idea where on the back of the engine it should have been connected because the wire snaped. Talk about timing i'm moving houses in 2 months want to sort it out as soon as possible. thanks guys

Oh yeah forgot to mention. I slightly damaged one of the hoses on the inlet manifold its on the rear of the manifold driver's side its the one both ends are different sizes. Bloody thing was as hard as a rock.

It didn't look damaged thought I'd get away with it

I did also spray some wd40 on connectors becasue they looked a bit dirty

just rocker cover and half moons

I decided it was finally time to change my leaky rocker cover gasket, all was well till i put everything back together and now it running like crap. it bearly revs sounds like its misfireing as well. will take it apart tomorrow and retrace my steps and see where ive gone wrong.

Had the same problem a few years ago. Tried everything and vibration was still there only noticed when I was changing my tyres. And since I stuck some rings on it's been running perfect ever since.

I'll be there mate.

Will try to go to as many as possible but will be out the country in june till early august due to work. fingers cross should be at the local car show next month :)

Thanks for the birthday greetings guys :)

It was me mate. Took her down Wembley to the body shop doing a few bits getting ready for summer

Ive thought about it but would still need something to tow the trailer with

lol skyline?? never 300zx for life or a toyota hilux invincible twin cab :shifty:. dont know why but i really like them.
