ah, i see what grag was saying. the heater matrix corrodes more rapidly if there is a voltage leak, this can be caused by poor earths. this has the effect of a small voltage being present in the coolant creating electrolysis & corroding the matrix.

dont ever ground the heater matrix!! it will act as a sacrificial anode & actually make it corrode quicker!!!!

either Bud's or vodka would be greatly appreciated!! :duffer: mondays fine mate :)

you just fell out you chair again mate?!?! :rofl:

not really fussed mate! give me a drink for me troubles if it makes you feel better!! :D there with me at work - Vikings Canterbury, im here most times!

hiya tim. iv got a set of second hand stock shocks off my car if you want to go that route :)

i wouldnt wanna post that up if that was me. bet you hated your mates after that ;) :rofl: (dont go saying that aint you now!! :D )

ooh, kinda! it is true that many 92 cars have no cats! this is why a BET test is carried out & then a non cat test done after if it fails. Imports are tested in the exact same way as a UK!!! if it fails the BET test then a non cat test is carried out if its not in the database. (ALL zeds!) an import vehicle that is in the database would recieve a cat test the same as a UK!! after 95 ALL vehicles are subject to a default cat test ;)

try Mike Feeney at MJP in our traders section

by who??? i take it you work out of the same testers manual as me?! there is a specific route to follow with emissions tests. a BET must be carried out 1st, most zeds will pass this anyway. if it fails you MUST do a vehicle specific test. if there is no match for a Z32 then what do you test it to????? :nono: you must then do a default non cat test! as iv said, unless your tests in scotland are different :confused:

lmao!! :D

emission test on zeds: http://300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=27060

is the Scottish MOT different to the English one then?? :confused:

but mines without post whoreing ;) :D

nearly at 6000 now :D

i need some more too ;)

cool!! :cool: deffo mate, buzz me when your coming down :hyper:

gits :p

whens the southern tour coming to town?!!? i wanna go!! :D

apart from upgrades & parts that are replaced as just general wear & tear the zed has cost me next to nothing to run (petrol aside ;) ) in the 3 1/2 years ive owned it!! the only time its let me down with an unforseen problem is when the PTU failed a couple of months after i bought it!! regular maintenance is a must tho :)

i would actually say that a turbo timer is WORSE that driving gently for a short while after giving them a hard time. its just a lazy way of giving the tubs a bit of help! stationary at idle, theres no air flow & oil pressure is at its lowest!! never used one - never will!

or even better, after a good hard thrash, give the car 5 mins gentle driving before switching off. much better than just letting it idle IMO - & its free!! :)

it would involve a lot of work! steering rack (+subframe?), dash & instrumentation, column, new/modified wiring loom, pedalbox, centre console, handbrake & cable, headlights, relocating of ECU's, etc etc i remember working for Lancia when the Intergarale 1st come out - there was a co that used to do these conversions. had one come in. fookin lot of work tho!!

all mods & comitee members would require 1 free ticket ;) :D

LOL! is this what its come to?? covering 400 miles is a major selling point!! :rofl:
