How low can you go. Ready for take off. Most stuff disconnected, to my surprise exhaust bolts came off but it does not look like I needed them, they are not coming apart.

Happy Birthday :happybday:

Will look for that, don’t remember that one.

Could this be a hairline crack.

Shame RIP. I seen Blade Runner so many time he always played a good syco.

I do have the workshop manual in the car, it’s not very helpful with instructions only ever look at the pictures.

As above. Thanks T

Sink or Swim we will see.

Well after doing the crank oil seal three times I still have an oil leak, now I’m thinking I could have a hair line crack in the oil pump due to the problems I had getting the crank cog off. Tomorrow I’m picking my brothers car up from the body shop and need to put it in the garage, easier said than done. Seeing my car on all four wheels with the Zeta CRD’s and running well apart from the oil, I have fallen in love again, will order a new oil pump tomorrow.

Hi sorry no chance of making this now.

Yes I did.

Well all back together and after 2 mins oil is leaking again only when engine is running, any help before I set fire to it. Thanks

Well decided to replace, mostly back together now. Not going to start it tonight just in case, wouldn’t want to waste the room I have booked tonight.

Well looks like I have fallen into the trap of not knowing what I was looking for, I have been working on cars for many years, but have never had to replace cam or crank seals before, I did read up about it but did not really understand about the lip on the crank, hence inside of seal pushed backwards, I do have another it is OEM as well, I suppose I can’t fix this one and should start again with the new one, is this correct?.

Happy Birthday :happybday:

https://conceptzperformance.com/wiki/index.php/Vacuum_Diagrams http://www.ttzd.com/ Go to tech section look for EGR should give you the info needed

I will do my best, I’m going to the car tomorrow for the weekend and hope to get it finished, then suspension setup and MOT, if all goes to plan will be a close call.

The only pipe I have seen recently on doing my engine there is the EGR vacuum pipe, turbo water pipe on that side is facing straight up. I have deleted all those pipes. It is a fiddly job but undoing some bits you can get your hand under the brake unit, if the metal pipe is broken you can take a pipe from the EGR directly, but very fiddly depends on your experience.

Shame good luck

Welcome to the club, Z looks very nice.

One of the ancillary belts is more likely can make a real noise.

I was 5 and on the Madden Voyage of the QE2 to New York.

New GKTech High Performance Engine Fan (60% More Air Flow) and adapter plate, I ordered from CPZ but overkill for my car. https://conceptzperformance.com/gktech-high-performance-engine-fan-60-more-air-flow-nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-240sx-s13-s14-s15-z32-300zx-clch-fanx_p_39497.php Adapter plate is arriving in a week so will post both when it arrives. £80 INC P&P

Found I had E3 & E4 on the PTU the wrong way round so fixed that, now running on all cylinders a bit lumpy but nice and quiet, that was the reason I pulled all the lifters to re build them. Tomorrow or today being past midnight, was my suspension day with Kent Motorsport then MOT, while running the engine there was an oil leak at the front, I had changed all the front seals and the crank one has started leaking when the engine is running, so at 10pm gave up, I needed to return my mums car, real shame so gutted so close to finishing. I will now rest for a few days and try again.
