yeah they are the ones mate ill give it a go cheers for the heads up may save me alot of time and skin from my knuckles!!!

ah with you now lol, mechanic i aint ( or smart lol) i may just take the suspension apart and take the hub off as wanted an excuse to change all the bits to the ones i painted up, as no one seems interested may as well stick them on my car lol

yeah gonna enjoy taking the aiv out, and its a pain taking the dif out that way as i have a 1 piece prop which is a nightmare to get in! ill have a go at whipping the hubs off the spline first, cheers though steams!

Cheers mate I'll have to just dive in I guess, got so much to do, got to delete all the aiv as well got the day off tomorrow so will see what I can get done

Probably not then known the luck I have had so far with the car lol

my next job for the zed that i have put off long enough is to sort the rear hicas, i have the conceptua tuning lockout bar that eliminates the hicas ball joints, i know they are going to be a bitch to get out and figured i would have to take the rear hubs off to do it so can anyone give me some direction as just not mechanicly minded at all. cheers in advance guys

id stick with the puck clutch mate and give it a go, you may like it, good for launches hehe!!

but..................how much would you want to make me one?????? please!!!! :bow:

i had the same trouble when doing my conversion and fitting the clutch pedal, im 6'2 and 18 stone so even with the seat out i struggled and kept tw**ing my head on sharp things!!!

this morning i went out and topped up with £20 of high octane and changed the ECU back to the standard one and the following happened... firstly the idle has set its self back down to about 650rpm and is running steady, i left the car running for a good 45 minutes (i cant drive it as need to bleed brakes, connect clutch booster and sort rear hicas lockout bar) it got upto a good temp and didnt go over at all, engine ran sweet as a nut, there is still a vapour coming from the exhaust but not as bad, and after running for a while it went to just a whisp. when putting your foot on the throttle and reving it came back but still not as bad then lessened again, the intermittent whumping seems to be only coming from the drivers side exhaust, almost sounds like a deep poppoing?? and i noticed there is a bit of water in the exhaust after it running, its smell free and not oily just sooty from the exhaust...? here is a video of the vapour at its worst today..... cheers for all your help guys and sorry im so clueless!!

I have a 6 puk in mine done no miles in it but moving it up my drive its very on off instead of a normal clutch very responsive

Cheers for the advise guys I have my standard ecu back to try and also been told it could be because the car has been sat for so long and not run at all could be condensation in the exhaust to got fresh fuel ecu and gonna leave it running for a bit and see what happens.....fingers crossed

I love that pannel!!!!!!! What's the damage on one of them in the green??

Nice looking bits there mate I really want one of those fairlady z badges!

pmsl that's so good!!

Nice one mate cheers for that, will keep you posted may end up fixing it Clarkson style at this rate lol

just the other side of carmarthen mate village called brechfa....

Hmmm that's one prob I have as there is noone about here....dunno what to do, gonna sleep on it and figure out if its worth struggling on at more expense or cut and run.... =(

since doing the work its been nowhere and don't know about the ignition timing, wouldnt know how to check? I'll try the standard ecu tomorrow but I really know anything about mechanicals so don't understand or know what in looking for and as I live in the middle of no where there are no garages I can even get it to, im close to the point of just giving up now though and breaking it..... its the not knowing what im doing which is the toughest.....

Bloody hell bud sorry to hear that!

right well i have done all i can today, i have adjusted the idle screw and it made no difference no matter which way or how much i turned it stayed idling at 1800 rpm, wouldnt move even after i left it to get warm, also the smoke stopped for a few seconds but as it warmed up it went back to normal, i have changed both the sensors on top of the hard water pipes to ones i know work, and still nothing.....im borrowing a standard ecu from a mate tomorrow (the original one from my car) so will see if that makes any difference, i also noticed that when i was by the idle screw there was a bit of smoke coming up from where the passenger side tub sits, same smoke as from the exhaust but very little, im guessing this is leading to turbo oil seals.....if this is the case then i think it will be time to throw in the towel as after all the money i have spent i just cant afford tubs and to pay to get them done.......:death:

thats a good point actually ill have to check about that.....

ill have to give him a post and see if he can help me out then, cheers for the advise bud

I'll have to keep that in mind and have a chat with him if I can't sort it

Ok I'll have a look for a standard ecu and want a boost controller anyway so will have to get one sooner I think, cheers for all your help guys, I'll have a play tomorrow and let you know how it goes
