What have you done to your zed today? Part 2............

Broke it!
Drove the brat to town only to find I have one of those wobbly water pumps fitted.
Water pump bearing disintegrated over an 8km trip. Temp gauge did not move
Took it to a mates place and proceeded to strip the front end, just to get to the last two bolts to get the water pump off.
Ordered replacment parts from CZP and wait for the arrival.

May aswell fit the smoked timing covers and polish the water pipes while its appart.

 

Well I got bored today.
This was the result.


These are for The Brat for when the other parts arrive.

 

I like I bought a set of polished water pipes from Procky just to save myself the trouble, but the CAS bracket I'll have to do. Unless you're selling on an exchange basis...?

 

Took it the Mt Cotton and slid it around the track, spun out heaps

 

HUmmm. I just might have to think on that.
I was still bored so did a bit more.

Before, and most of you know what these look like.


And after I got to it

 

Now Graham why would you have a Mitsubishi CAS in a zed

Abraham

 

Got me stuffed. All the motors I have, have got the Mitsubishi CAS.
NOW I know what makes our cars unreliable, bitsofshitty parts.

 

Pretty sure all z32 CAS's are Mitsubishi units

 

Graham all the CAS's were manufactured by Mitsubishi Electrics as far as i know...i was just joking lol

However i have only ever seen 2 zeds with CAS's that didnt have the Mitsubishi badges on them. So maybe they shaved it off or was an aftermarket unit.

Detuning the car, removed the Carbing front strut bar, Powertrix carbon throttle cover & a brake master cylinder brace, Nismo oil filler, radiator & fuel caps.
Got it on stands as will be removing the front suspension: Tein HA's, adjustable upper arms, D2 adjustable caster rods & R33 GT-R Brembo's & stainless brake lines.

 

You need to show us pics of your car before you starting pulling it apart! Maybe I'm too late already?

 

started the first bit of "engine bay cleanup" on the zed.

did a fuel line reroute and hard pipe delete.

Added a powertrix strut brace (thanks Rod!) and removed the ebay one

relocated some vacuum lines.

Still alot of work to do....

 

Got the car running again ... been a busy boy.
Now fitted with Tomie CAM Gears and 800cc Subaru STI injectors.

AND custom Fuel Rails

AND a Z1 Twin Plate Clutch

AND a Earls Oil Thermostat

 

Started the long task of sanding the plenum by hand [TIS]

 

There wont be much hand left buy the time your finished. I did it once, finished then relised i wasnt happy with the imperfections, and started again least to say i never finished..

 

Alot of sanding but now ready for paint.:zlove:

 

Just did a little bit of painting, makes a big difference to appearance from behind
