Tick tick tick tick... Warm up and gone! Lifters?

My Z
welcome buddy, heres a scenario week 1, excited but can cope , think constantly about it and bore your mates by talking about it week 2, slightly tetchy as you know its on its way here but still a long way off, mates now even getting bored in pub with your incessant chatter week 3, your half way there, you know the worst is over and the excitement goes up a notch, you find yourself looking at the import pictures of it a lot, strangely enough your mates arent asking you out much week 4 it feels like you can almost see the container ship on the horizon , you start planning your first day in the " Z " , you are now a social pariah week 5 you start buying polish and other little goodies to treat your baby with when it gets here, you start to have trouble sleeping as there is a car in your dreams all the time, you no longer have any friends and little children run away from you and dogs bark at you for no reason, the local pubs and clubs have banned you due to no one going in any establishment where you are, on the other hand no one notices the BO from lack of personal hygiene. week 6....................ITS FRIGGIN HERE.......your first drive is unbelievable , you keep turning around when you walk away to look at it as its so damn sexy, in a amazing turn around you are the most popular guy in your local area and everyone wants a go...............YOU OWN A Z by the way , if you have never driven one before turn that excitement down a notch before you drive it, its a bad time of the year to be a novice in a Z and you dont want to kill it get pics up soon if possible

New import need info.
the ecu will need socketing, after this is done it makes chip changes easier, the price is close to what i paid andyp when he socketed my ecu and fitted the chip, he returns the ecu damn sharpish as well

New import need info.
you will need a fog light unit as well, the thing to be aware of with the ecu is it will be set up to run on 100 ron so if you want unleaded you could get the ecu socketed and a chip from andy P on this forum for about £140

Gone for compression test
I was getting worried about my oil pressure but that sets my mind at rest greg, when cold is 80 to 100psi and when warm is around 40 to 60 psi at 3000rpm, is there a danger from oil pressure to high on old seals?

Ever wondered what idiots look like?
- Cruise control not engaging
check the microswitches on the brake and clutch pedals- Power to PAX footwell on series 1
ignore- Knock sensor
it works, the knock sensor only inputs below 3000rpm anyway, do it and when you lift the engine for some reason or other relocate the knock sensor and sort the problem- Wish me luck
good luck, hope it all goes well- Cheap ebay FMIC has arrived.
theres a easy fix to that, the side mount vents just need a reroute to the radiator face- Cheap ebay FMIC has arrived.
