Replacement sill components
Nice pics mate and a good insight into what I have to come. I have the sections you show in your blog but still require the front main bits. I phoned up MJP Eastern and was quoted £360 with the VAT for both main sills, which will bring the total to a staggering £650. The inner sections with the holes were also available for a £100 or so each. Which to me seems ridiculous for a bit of tin with a few holes, so I will fabricate this bit myself armed with a pair of gilbows and some 16 guage. Although I'm a metalworker anyway, I must say the task ahead seems a little daunting, I'm sure it will be okay though when I get going.

Both sides mate and they do look good. I didn't really need the arches but if I cut through inner, outer etc, I bet there's corrosion in the seam

Replacement sill components
Received my new sill bits from a guy called Steve who was recommended by Steams and Sussex Stu. All is good and the parts he supplies are not available oem. For £290, what he supplies is rear arches, lower rear wing outer & inner section and they appear to be bloody good and offer up well, however the main section tucking under front wing was not supplied. He did tell me what he manufactures and supplies, I was at work and not giving the conversation the attention that it deserved. Although I need these I also need the main sections tucking under the front wing. I possibly can make my own inner section where required using thin wall box section cut down with 4" micro discs to give me some angle. Anyway, any advice on the main sills would be greatly appreciated, many thanks Neil

Engine timing
Thanks to Groover and those who responded to my questions regarding earthing out the ecu wire to the neutral switch on my manual gearbox. I decided to take onboard the advice given and went down the path of checking my engine timing and setting to 25 degrees btdc. It was actually set at 27-28 degrees meaning that it was too advanced. It seems a little less fumey now, however it still smells like it's running rich still. Obviously my idle speed has dropped as I have retarded the ignition a few degrees, but still purrs nicely. ANY IDEAS ON WHAT MY NEXT MOVES SHOULD BE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATED ????????

ECU (setting to manual transmission)
I recently posted a thread about my zed being swapped from auto to manual transmission before I bought it. It was suggested that I need to earth pin 44 of the ecu to the neutral switch of the gearbox. Can anyone confirm is it definately pin 44 and can I just snip the wire on the harness and earth out to the car body, or does it have to be the gearbox switch. How do I find where the neutral switch is located on the gearbox and how do I attach. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks to all those who replied in my previous thread

ecu advice
At some point my car has been converted from auto to manual. I noticed that the engine ecu has automatic written on it. Is there any difference in the engine ecu's, could this be why my engine is playing up?

running too rich, over fuelling
My Twin turbo z seems to be running way too rich, at around 5000rpm I lose power then it kicks back in. The exhaust is very fumey, smell definately petrol I would say. Can anyone tell me where to start?

Help with tyres please
I have recently bought some 19" rims, what size tyres should I run front and back. I have 8.5" rims on front and 9.5" on rear, so I was thinking 235's front, 265's rear, why do some owners go for a 30 profile on the rear, rather than a 35?????
