nice to see the welding gloves in the intakes

theres a alternative as zedworld do engine swaps for a good unit for £1500

im not , im thinking 4wd

forgot to mention if you really want to get rid of the pcv you can fit a vacuum pump to the crank breather lines to provide that suction, just run the vac through a catch can

the crankcase requires the suction from the plenum when the pcv valve is open as the suction pulls clean air through the crankcase using the front tubes, if you dont have suction on those pipes then you dont get a fresh air flush through the crankcase, not a major downer but it degrades the oil quality quicker

you cant just fit breathers on the rear valves, they have a secondary function of a clean air flush through the front tubing on the cam covers, you can fit filters on the front pipes and block off the feed to the intake though without any problems

feckin ell , that time already, happy another day older day fella

I have been saying this for ages now and everyone was going the electric fans are fine, no they arnt simply because they cant match the viscous fan output

ok im leaving my current job, today they mega pissed me off by ****ing up my final salary and then cancelling the whole salary payment in case they overpaid me, after a lot of shouting at payroll ive got them to agree to pay me cash tomorrow once they recalculate my final pay packet, this isnt the issue though, in my contract I am contracted for 38 hrs of work and then a clause called hours as required which means you work till the job is done basically, when i first questioned this they told me it was what the company required of me as management and would not be paid for, they used this excuse to have me work above 38 hours every single damn week, it was used as a rotating saturday work schedule and a rotating late night in the week all of which was expected and not paid, seeing as I was pissed off today i called the hr department and demanded a explanation of the hours as required statement, it turns out I was misled and the extra time i worked was supposed to be given back in lieu , i told the company i am taking them to grievance over the last 3 years of being misled and they owe me over 3000 hours of time, anyone been throiugh this and have any advice, if i pull it off its worth £24k to me in unpaid time? If you read this far well done

id nail it

by the way i do know about setting up the endgap if needed but i could do with knowing what ring land clearance i should be looking for on wisecos, just in case its wrong

ill put together a beating anytime fella...lol i will do it myself, been around engines for years and am a aircraft engineer so it shouldnt be beyond me, done a couple of cvh rebuilds previously

oh and is it really worth having a knife edge job done

cylinder heads are easy, I am giving the bottom end to a good engine place for boring and honing, probably gonna have the block and crank frozen as well.

first off if it lit up on a staight and youre in a standard car , look for better tyres, buy a second cheap rwd car and experiment, skid control for rwd is a forgotten art , try reading some tips on the advanced drivers forum

I need to purchase a second engine for the build then rent a garage for the work so will be after xmas but once i get it all on the go fella you are welcome, always helps to know where everything is

sounds like a input shaft bearing fella, especially seeing as the noise goes when you put the clutch in, if it was noisy when the clutch was in it would be the release bearing

sorry i couldnt help more but doing the sunday trip to the inlaws

if you do go to dan , check the tps to make sure its not right on the point of hard idle cut on /off

hey fella, im in penzance myself, idle control valve is on the other side of the engine bay, richard bros will work on these in redruth but i do most of the work myself, planning on a engine rebuild soon which will be fun

thanks for the advice jimmer, I am currently putting together a engine removal , engine stripdown and engine build all in one , trying to include all the ancillaries as well, do you mind if I ask for your help when im doing it as your knowledge would be awesome

this is pretty much required reading, many people will be scared of a rebuild but this is the best article i have seen http://twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/tech/rebuild/rebuild.aspx

yep thats much better than cakefart, forgot to say cakefart is not worksafe

if you wait till the digital switchover sky are offering a free sky plus box , you just pay for the standard install (£30), we got a card through our door as cornwall is one of the first and went for it last week
