    Hey All!

    I need to do a plenum pull on the zed but I'm next to useless at technical stuff like this so I'm thinking I might as well host a tech day so I can learn how to do it.

    Just after expressions of interest at the moment. Date would be in late January round the 23rd/24th. Just need to know who is interested in helping and what dates you are available.

    I will be putting up Pizza/Beer/Girly Drinks up for grabs for all who attend. So lets see those hands. Who's interested?

    Location is in Shailer Park (near the Logan Hyperdome).

    Yup, I'm in ...

    happy to help.

    The good news is the bastard hose from hell has already been replaced so this one will be a snack :D

    Matt: get the fuel and water hose from LHS hose supplies or Autobarn in Slacks Creek.

    As discussed, ensure you get exactly 8mm internal diameter fuel and water hose. Even though some are labelled 5/16 inch, they are actually 7.9mm internal diameter and are a PITA to slip over the coolant and fuel hard pipes.

    When I went to LHS last week, they were out so I got from Autobarn. Also the external diameter of the water hose is important to enable the factory spring clamps to be reused which I recommend.

    To be safe. get the stuff from autobarn. Their current stock is the correct internal and external diameter:

    • 1meter x hi pressure EFI hose - part ID FI516 (@$26.97 pm)
    • 2meter x heater hose - part ID HH518 (@$8.33 pm)

    $27 per meter for fuel hose :eek: I'm getting braided pushlock hose for less than that and it's 3 times bigger in diameter!

    I'd be finding another place to buy it, that price is ridiculous.

    Can you still use the factory ABBA

    clamps on your hose Chrispy?

    Let me know when you source this please! Always happy to save people money :zlove:

    Don't need clamps on the pushlock, it matches the blingy AN fittings.

    Surely there are new clamps available that are the next size up to suit the new hose.

    Great to see all the eager hands coming round to help me out. I'll be tracking down that hose next week.

    I've basically just grabbed all the gear on the zedcare list. Will I need anything else other then what Mark has already mentioned above?

    How will we go about getting the injectors done? Does that mobile guy everyone is raving about do weekends?


    Parts I bought are:

    Nissan OEM 300ZX PCV Complete Hose Set Twin Turbo
    Nissan OEM 300ZX Air Regulator/AAC Valve Hose Kit - Twin Turbo
    Nissan OEM 300ZX Plenum Gasket
    Nissan OEM 300ZX Balance Tube O-ring Set
    Nissan OEM 300ZX AAC(IACV) Gasket
    Nissan OEM 300ZX Injector O-ring Set 90-94TT/90-92NA(93CV)
    Nissan OEM 300ZX Fuel Rail Insulators (Set of 6)
    Nissan OEM 300ZX Heater Core Hoses
    Nissan Drivers side turbo water hose
    Nissan OEM 300ZX Intake Valve Cover Gaskets

    Matt, I've updated my list

    recently. Just check off with the latest list here. The drivers side turbo water hose part number has been updated.

    Re injector guy: Call Dwight on 0418884678, tell him I sent you and ask him if he can come over around lunchtime (as it will take an hour or two to pull the plenum). He should be OK for a weekend job. Ask him to supply the injector upper and lower O'rings and insulators for the injectors and ten wiring plugs but ensure you get the pre-made ones. I am sick of the others!!!

    At this point I'm going to have to put this on hold until after I've moved to my new house. Had lots of bills to pay this month (damn you aircon!!)
