More pics from the rebuild
Thanks all very very excited about getting her back. Too much done to list but suffice to say if it could be done it has been. The guys at SPC have been stars! and gave me a grand off the total cost of the rebuild so long as I brought it back to them to service! Bargain!

Racing a murcielargo and lost cylinder No.5
Hey mate Gutted for you! These guys have been spectacular rebuilding mine :nana2: Should be back in a week! Thought it might help Sussex Performance Centre in Horsham 01403257257 ask for Andy. Theyve completely transformed mine. Its on the Dyno being mapped up and then 1000 miles to run in and its track day time. Cheers

No Spark - HELP PLEASE!!
Hey mate yep that is a series one mine did this twice, disconnect the cables and re-connect them with after using some contact cleaner, be careful the ends an get brittle and break. Hopefully this will fix it but if it doesnt then see if you can borrow a known good PTU from someone or just buy a series 2 PTU and the conversion cable. HTH Cheers

Hey mate will do, the guys at the garage said that they were some of the best made clipers they had seen and they do porkers, fezzas and mazzas mostly so that is good . Have you read the article about the 200 that had its front brakes swapped for the 356mm 8 pots dropped 1.7s a lap in the next couple of laps...? http://www.ksport.co.uk/vids/Ksport-JP-July07.pdf this is what made me decide on this kit although Ive gone for the 6 pot 330s at the rear as well to avoid chnaging the bias etc with valves.

Hey Steve the springs are 6.2kg/mm front and 2.2kg/mm rear not sure how they will ride but I did lots of research and the Teins sounded a bit harsh whereas these seemed a little less hardcore, the orange is very cool, they do the clipers in orange as well but I went for the black as I wanted the car to look standard. The coilovers are 591.49 plus vat and delivery which seemed like a good price ompared to others. Heres their site http://www.ksport.co.uk/order.asp?id=282&loc=1 Cheers

Cooling?
Hey all I have invested in a bigger rad Howe TT and cooling fan kit. Is it worth getting a vented bonnet also or would this not make much difference? Dont want to spoil the smooth lines if I dont have to. But I will do if it keeps the heat away from my new engine. Cheers

engagement ring
Hi mate go to a good jeweller in Hatton Garden and get it made you will get a better quality diamond and an identical ring for the same price. Or the same quality for less! I havent go the suffering yet but theres plenty of time! LoL

Car had check over and the results are.....
Hi mate Sounds like you need to get it in somewhere else. They probably dont have much experience of the zed and also cant be a&sed to fix it, alot of places just over inflate the price hoping you might go away cos its not easy. If you can be bothered to come down South I can recommend Sussex Performance Cars in Horsham they have mine in for a rebuild at the mo and are very very good at engine and mechanicals. They send the car out for body work mine has just come back from the sprayers and they sort it all out also I have supplied all the parts from the states. Worth the drive if you can be bothered. P.S. MJP do coils for around 30quid so dont let them rip you off.

Which Injectors
Hi mate have a look on Z1 they have pretty much all the options you can think of and sizes and rails to suit. From what I have read the Nismos seem to be the ones to go for but Im sure the others know more.
