the old girl wont be ready in time for this so im going to run my girl friends fiesta ST instead, im just leting you guys prepare for humiliation so no chickening out:rofl::slap::D

blimey, im glad you put that right. it could have all ended in tears lol the needle bearing is exactly the same diameter as the original bush that came out. ive had a word with the machine shop thats boring the block and they are are happy to press it in for me. lets all have a big cheer to nissan for making things so easy on the zed:x: cheers for your info guys

HELP:headvswal has any one fitted one of these needle bearings? ive tryed freezing the bearing for a few days then heating the crank but with no joy. i dont want to start hitting it with a soft malet for fear of damage to the crank or bearing itself. the inner diameter is the correct size for the gear box spline shaft but, the outer diameter is far to large to fit into the crank. are there two different sized bearings or is there a knack to it? any advice will be most welcomed:duffer::duffer::duffer: cheers Mark

speaking from experience???

actually, do the whole lot black:rofl::slap:

no, keep it

change it back, looks like something's missing

bloody hell, thats a new one on me, not a clue mate but, you know what im going to say Mark..... get rid of it:rofl: :tongue::slap::x:

i can vouch for this, done it my self last year and shes still as solid as ever;)

to lower it and change the stance, you're going to need adjustable coil overs of which there are many makes, adjustable top arms (front and rear) WITH ADJ TENSION RODS, and if you want to go the whole hog adjustable transverse links aswell. then if you like, 3-5mm spacers just to bring the rims out slightly;) as far as intercoolers go, i wouldnt "skrimp" on them as they are the only thing keeping charge temp down

check the seat belts for the year;)

ive got a couple of gallons of chip fat, if i mix that with a few litres of tescos 99, will that do?:rofl::slap:

just want to say a big thanks to Sussex Stu for running a pair of manifolds up to me:duffer: cheers bud!!! and a second thanks to Gibster TT for supplying me with a block and crank:duffer::duffer: THANKS GUYS!!!!:bow::bow::bow:

yup, they will do!! il give you a call later

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: i dont think much of yours Woz!!:slap:

money's winging its way to you as we speak Mark:D

just bolt it back on bud, or better still fit an electric one... saves so much space;)

it will be a shame not to see you there bud, have you managed to get the old girl on a consult yet?

i like that!!! well done bud:duffer:, when can you do mine:D

noooooooooo!!!! i didnt read your post properly Steve, ive just told Wozzer not to bother

as above, have my tickets!!:nana2::nana2::nana2:

welcome to the world of Zeds bud, :duffer: mine started out life as an auto until the box threw a wobblie, now shes a manual il never look back!!:dance: go with Paul at SWZ, himself and Legrath are both good zed techies and are always on here ready to give help and advice;)

ive got the OK from Wozzer so either way the propshaft is going to Z008!!!:D

if all else fails and i cant see a way of getting my car ready in time, il nick my other halfs car and run it up to him

hummm, its going to be a case of "lets see what happens". ive had the engine out, done a 120k service, removed skip loads of pipe work and bolt on bits and fitted rather large tubs. im waiting for various silicone hoses to be delivered so i can start to re-route the compressor pipes. not even sure weather i will have enough parts yet. im putting it together as i go along. still... im hopefull;)
