Rear Window remove / replace
Don't re-use the rubber seal. top- trim can be saved, so can the corner pieces. I just replaced absolutely everything whilst it was still available. The top trim is also held in by locator clips which the windscreen folk will have to slice through. Cheese wire/Wibotec, whatever they decide to use. Yes, my screen has been in and out more times than I care to remember. Are you going to remove it yourself? I wouldn't personally.

New tyre age
I would send it back. If you paid for a 'new' tyre and 'new tyre' is what you should receive. Whilst it's not been on a vehicle, automotive rubber still has a finite life. 6 years is generally the advisory. Who knows how they've been stored.

Brexit Poll
I'm directing that comment toward budgetary strategies. Our own budgetary strategy failed because of incompetent ministers. The EU's budget simply has to align and the checks and balances are there to make sure that happens which is why some countries’ budgets get rejected. Our own fiscal budget should have been rejected if it were under EU governance which would have been a good thing. Call it big brother, call it what you will, but without EU intervention, the system would collapse. Our budget collapsed because UK fiscal policy was under our own governance.....but it failed. My point being, that without that buffer and steerage, countries who’s budgets don’t meet the set requirements can ultimately fail. The argument that EU rules are a negative in this case is unjust. The EU is a great insurance policy in that respect.

Brexit Poll
Well you can't take out more than you put back in, that's true with anything and that's the whole point of a budget. Look what happened 10 years ago after Labour's budgetry mess cost the country dearly. Without a balance (a budget where the numbers all work), anything can fail.

Brexit Poll
I stand corrected however irrespective of that, it was a claim made by leave campaigners and championed by both Johnson and Farage. My point being that there are false promises from both sides and the amounts banded around will never be substantiated.

Brexit Poll
Just adding to the discussion, not critising anyone's point. However, firstly, the EU is not perfect and never will be, just like any multi-party democracy. Secondly, UK ministers are no different in that sense with false and empty promises. As an example, at what point did you believe Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson's claim that the NHS would suddently have an exta £350m? It's no different from either side of the camp. In terms of non-elected peers, who wanted Teresa May in office? The British public didn't, she was self-elected into her position and who voted for a coalition with the LibDems at the previous general election? The British public didn't. The euro will never die out, it's a valuable internationally traded currency. Just because a few countries don't like it, doesn't mean it will fail. The EU is not doomed, but it does need some reform. Quiting out on it is not the answer.

Brexit Poll
Oh I totally agree (I added a line whilst you were writing that), democracy has spoken, I don't agree with it and would maintain my 'remain' vote, but it should be followed through although they can't seem to do that either! :lol: What I will say is, there are plenty of British companies that already have global trade agreements which won't be affected. Companies like Dyson for example have a global trade agreement.

Brexit Poll
We do stand on our own two feet. Why also should we not help and be part of a wider community? It's selfish just to think we should 'go it alone' and forget the part we play in the world. The world is becoming a fully globalised entity and it's the progressive way forward. How is the EU failing when it's done so much to unify and progress and joined community? I'm fairly well informed, but I don't know enough about it and neither does the majority of the British population which makes having a referendum on it completely nonsensical. I don't think I had the knowledge to vote, that in part to the media. Would you let the factory workers in the north make a key decision on poultry farmers rights in the south without knowing what they do? Same deal. The information from all sides was inaccurate and incorrect. Despite my opinions and vote in this poll, this is a democratic society and if that's what the British people want, then we should go with it.

Brexit Poll
Staunch remainer here (I'm very much an internationalist at heart anyway). My biggest beef with BREXIT is that I don't believe that the British population are educated and well informed enough to be given the decision on something as utterly complex as leaving the EU (I include myself in that statement). All of the BREXITEER politicians seem to have gone into hiding now that it's all happened as if they have no plan on what to do now that we are officially leaving. "The morons" also known as Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson are about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Their lack of realistic substance in the Brexit campaign certainly left a LOT to be desired. Irrespective of the outcome, it should never have been something that should have been put to the British people and that was something I thought long before the referendum too place. Many elements of it was nothing but falsehood and having fake news and BS information from both sides, it became doomed from the start. Our truly appalling tabloid press did not help matters either scaremongering both sides and the lines of 'we want our country back' made me cringe. The entire thing is as a joke. The whole situation is vary sad as it feels like we are regressing, not progressing which was the big dream of being a united community of countries. EU is not perfect, it never will be, but the amount of time and effort being wittered away in sorting this mess out seems like a waste of energy.

Upgrading to a 95 harness - checklist
I'm currently running the original harness and original injectors. Harness needs replacing. I've replaced some of the connectors but a new harness is needed really and certainly before they go NLA which won't be too far in the future. Since I'm replacing the injectors, to get the maximum benefit I now choose to replace my aging harness with injector connectors that are past their best. The general harness is past its best. 740s are being chosen because they're about the best upgrade even for a stock engine. Just because they can flow at much higher rate than I need, doesn't mean they have to. Yes initially I'll run them on stock turbos, but I'm keen to see where a Link G4 and 18PSi take them. I'm future proofing because eventually I'll got for GT525s and want that nice buffer. There's little difference in price between the 615s and 740s so I might as well go for 740s as they give me much more of a ceiling. I've also managed to get a brand new OEM 95 harness and 740cc injectors for just over £1k which is extremely good value.

Upgrading to a 95 harness - checklist
How's that then? My harness needs replacing. The 95+ harness fits straight on with only changing to a new style CAS (which I already have) and can be sourced use from the US for as little as $40. That's a LOT less faff than changing 6 injector connectors or fitting additional adapters and adding that awful series 2 PTU sub harness and/or the faff of getting that spliced in if you wanted to do away with that ugly harness. Who wants to butcher up a new harness when you don't have to!? If changing to new style injectors and you're needing to replace the harness as most Z32s need, it really is the logical step forward. So on the contrary it is completely the opposite to the faff of fitting an early style harness so I don't understand your point at all.

I think you'll find it's Dennis Norden. ;) Sad though. Lovely chap and always presented himself very well.

Upgrading to a 95 harness - checklist
95 TPS is the same as our TPS. So the newer version is not required for the 95 harness, I can use my existing one.
-
Upgrading to a 95 harness - checklist
.....and the TPS is not required as that's for 96+ and different again. I was mistaken with the requirement for that based on the fact that the 95 harness is the newest one you can still buy. The 96+ has already been discontinued, certainly when buying through the US. The RHD version of the 96+ might still be available.

I have the SpecialtyZ adaptors, this is not a problem and is a common addition for anyone upgrading to any newer style injector.

The only specialist with a perfect record and qualifications is Jimmer @ PowerZed. I personally wouldn't take it anywhere else as no one can match him for knowledge and quality of workmanship, not even come close.

# 4 - what am I doing? Little build thread!
Spangly new engine tray arrived today. Can't seem to upload anything more than this at the moment. It's not that exciting anyway. My old one had fallen to bits and I tore it off a few mo the ago. It's amazing how much dirt and debris get sucked into the engine bay without one. Still awaiting the fitting kit for it. I can't possibly refit with old bolts!
