    IMO... dont go by the kms...

    an engine can die within 50,000km if miss treated or go around the world (million+) if it is well looked after

    my engine will keep going for a while but just not as strong as it should be thats all

    its mostly in the morning..drives ok after driving around a bit..so is it possible to check if the problem does not exist when i come there..i mean the engine should be quite warm by then and the prblem may not be there

    service???

    if i bring my z along, rekon we could do the 100k service and tailshaft swap???

    bring some stands (really want a full 4 to get the car right up) and your sockets and im sure we can do the tail shaft, though i think dropping the zorst will be needed.

    as for the 100k service... not sure.. would say a fair bit of work is involved unless you have half a dozen people working on it.

    FOR THOSE THAT WANT WORK DONE.. LIKE A DECENT AMOUNT OF WORK, DONT ROCK UP AT MID DAY EXPECTING IT TO BE DONE BY 2PM....

    just doesnt work like that lol...

    Tech Day Help

    Have been having problems with the Z its kicking out a lot of black smoke on exceleration and when she's cold runs like a charff cutter. Went to Hyperdrive and all they can tell me is it needs a Rom Tune (chip and all) $$$$. The last time I put it in there for a service it was tested (Power Run- Have Graphs)) which indicated its running rich ? and also the crank angle sensor was noisy and needed to be replaced? if I could get one. Can anyone help with advice or tuning on the day. Any help would be apprecitated. :) Hurrican

    nice way to look at it ZDUCTIV.

    josh i'm keen for whatever - i move into the new place on the 28th so that weekend is out for me.
    if on another weekend would love to come and help out, can bring tools and engine stands (4) as well.

    my zed is going to the panel shop tomorrow, will be there for about 4 weeks i'm afraid by the sound of things. we need more panel beaters!!!!

    I would like to get you guys to have a look at it first..i will bring my service and allignment report in and you guys can look at it and see what can be done because i dont have any knowledge on this so dont know what needs to be fixed excatly..:( :( :confused: so give me some advice..vl try to fix what ever is possible and take it from there onwards..is it ok???

    These are the stuff needs to be looked at:-

    1: wheel allignment report says "front control arm bent and some bolt missing"
    2: power steering pump and rack leaking..
    3: engine leaks..
    4: in a cold start the car struggles to move..moves but refusing (moving in a stop n go manner)..dnt know how to say it excatly..(like an engine miss)..got worse today..
    5: some belt sqeeking..
    6: show me what can be cleaned by me at home (injector connectors/engine bay/throttle body, dont know what they are actually because i am a minus regarding mechanical side) its in the tech section but i dont understand how to do it unfortunately.:((confused)

    I know its a big list but any advice after having a look at it would help me a lot..we can try to fix whatever we can as time permits hopefully..Thanks a lot in advance guys..
