I suspect the missfire may have caused the failure. It wasnt good for the car. You wouldnt belive it, I dont have the cutting out/missfire problem anymore. I dont think i want to be a zedder anymore.
I think we all feel like that from time to time mate! The fkn things are frustrating temperamental and expensive all at the same time. I?m sure you?ll sort it out soon, dont let it get ya down!
Easy fix, rip the engine out and a new gasket with the possibility of new heads. Do it in a day if we tried What do you reckon caused the problem? Cooling system, parts failure, or 'user error'? Angle torqued the head bolts up? New bolts I trust? Maybe the heads you used where out of spec and you missed it?
I think the pinging and missing might have damaged the gasket. New bolts and everything done to spec. Maybe we can have a northside tech day and knock it over.
Got an AVCR today WOOHOO. Lookign forward to getting that in on the weekedn along with a waterpump and a few other things. Pics to follow soon!!!
Got 50 of these little suckers today Gonna go through and replace every connector and clean every terminal on the engine sensors. Gotta give my Zed some love, i think it has the personality of a girl and gets jealous when im working on other cars. hahah
The cooling system " appears" to be ok. New thermostat and water pump installed. The water temp is right where it should be, even after a thrash it doesnt get hot at all. not using any water at all, But after even a short runt here does seem to be a decent bit of pressure int he cooling system. At this stage im going to ignore that and see what pans out. Ive decided to go through and do all the overdue maintanance and upgrades the Rollin mobile has needed for a while. This includes. Tailshaft unis and center bearing LHR wheel bearing. Drilled rear disks and pads Camber correction on the front. AVCR installation Solve cutting out problem!!!!! Long overdue bonnet repair New engine loom terminals New center mufflers Power steer and brake fluid leak Drivers door rattles I still havent had a chance to max out the boost and shoot for the stock turbo power record. so once these things are done and the AVCR is set up , then it will be time for Northside mini dyno day - take 3
I should also point out that i got rid of the suzuki. My other car is now this Beemer. I still wave at you zedders but you dont wave back
lol thats funny as .... All these Z drivers in Brisbane going "man my Z is so hot it even pulls the boys"
no conversions on this one trev, ive got another one just like it thats halfway through a RB20 5 speed conversion. This one has 330,000kays on it and still all numbers matching. cool huh
Its very cool, has the old school look about it :zlove: The RB 20 conversion should go pretty hard Regards Trev
