geoffs minor rebuild turns into a major one

enginetronics, shields crescent in booragoon. cost 290. but that was without new seals that go in the intake (16.50 each from nissan) ill hopefully let you know if they are any good in a day or two.

i think i see you driving along preston point road sometimes..is it you. i live in bicton.

 

geoff my zed is MIA currently(missing in action)for a plenum pull and other stuff.

My injectors were done at favazzo engine reconditioners in coogee at a cost of $150.
This included terminal cleaning,ultrasonic cleaning for 4 - 5 hrs instead of 1 hour,flow testing and new pintle caps.I provided the o rings from coz which they fitted.

 

so close now. hopefully drivin tomorrow

 

Good work!

 

ok a few more set backs, had to redrill/bore out a hole in the bell housing to re tap a thread for one fo the starter motor bolts, (10x1.5 up to 12x1.75) and drill out hole in starter motor. but eng is finally in. hook it all up, little bit of exhaust welding bolt the tailshaft on fill all fluids and i should be in buisness

 

So tomorrow?

Good work mate :zlove:

 

hopefully late sunday

 

I truly know how you feel. good luck with it all.

cheers eddy

 

once again, another setback...
engine is all good and running well, but no matter how much i bleed the clutch, it wont build up any resistance and slave is not moving.....

anyone got any suggestions to fix or what the problem could be?

 

is there a hole in the clutch line?? bled bottom top then distant one???

 

yeah mate started with the bottom (slave) doing a gravity bleed then with the pedal. then moved to the engine bay one, using the pedal but still no difference in firmness of the pedal. could not see fluid leaking from anywhere, possibly the master i bought is faulty???

 

Hey geoff

I have a spare master here if you want to try that, might be of some help.
Give me a bell on 0437 805 650 to see what we can arrange

Start by bleeding master cylinder, then bleed point near headlight and finally slave.

 

Master should be good dude. Drove it 50kms home from pick-up point... Unless I managed to damage it somehow when removing? Was being pretty careful tho... Sure it's something simple

 

i think its just the seals inside it jamie, just trying to get it off to check at the moment, pretty hard with the engine in though.

 

Seal kit

Hey geoff, you can buy a seal kit off Ebay for these for $29 posted.
Here's the item # 260738001634
Hope this helps out a bit mate.

thanx andy, havin trouble gettin it out of car though, one of the connections behind the engine ( clutch line into master) is rounded and rather difficult. just soaked it in wd-40 and taking a break for lunch. try again in an hour or so.

 

cut the line and buy a 1 peice braided line down... then pull master out and remove old shit line while its out

 

great minds think alike aiden, have just cut the old clutch line, going to get master serviced and get one piece braided line made up
