  1. Did not use heat but it's a good idea to make the job easier
  2. I got the hanger bent to the right shape until both tail pipes where level Much easier
  3. Ian mate you have outdone yourself and taken this to the next level I am bringing bumblebee for some of this soon. If anyone needs their zed or any other car doing they know where to go! I have seen the care and attention Ian puts in his previous work and would recommend him big time. Coldel you are a lucky so and so make sure you keep it in good condition.
  4. Hope you had a happy b-day ol' boy
  5. Thanks Wayne for the feedback it's a shame bumble bee is on axle stands as you would have enjoyed a drive in it. Happy to help and let's know when you get spacers and a tune. Your zed is one of the best I have seen and I did forget to take pics so please post up some pics and the custom work you have done If you change your mind about the cwest lip let me know. It would be a shame to buy a brand new one and butcher it to my requirements. Cheers
  6. Need battery cover too. Clip on mine snapped finally after to much tinkering
  7. This is what I felt the car should sound like from factory. The stock exhaust is soulless, the stillen is cultured but with the Berks it just vulgar I love it. Will, I am in love with Rosie Must come down for an introduction I take it Uprev next Good job guys
  8. 138deg on track is spot on! I got logged last year at the Ring and saw 135 and knew I have been very lucky so got a setrab 19 row oil cooler with thermostatic plate and -10 braided lines and AN hose fitting. Installed it at the weekend. Sneak piccie.
  9. Very nice.
  10. Bonnet SOLD Bump for few items left!
  11. X1 MREV2 Sold Payment pending. Bump for the other one before it goes on eBay!
  12. iPhone sold payment pending
  13. Thanks for more input to this threads TR but you may have overread into bits of my explanations which is for sake of simplicity describing the PCV system as two entities one on each side. Secondly Oil vapour does reduces the ignitability of the A/F mixture in the combustion chamber and hence would act like decreasing the RON value just like adding meth will increase it. This has nothing to do with AFR and I did not suggest that either. I do agree that FI cars are more susceptible but you loose a very small amout of ponies venting blowby to the intake as per OEM setup which is standard on both FI and NA engines. Dblock here with a schematic on how you can naffed a cheap eBay can or what a good can should be designed as. I will be getting my dual can from him and for clarity It just two can adjacent to each other with no communication.
  14. The other question some may ask is why do you need an OCC? Simple reason is to maintain a high quality intake air for optimum combustion and power. The recirculated vapours from the vents effectively reduces your A/F mixture from burning well so the ECU retards timing giving you less power. Almost like running 95 RONinstead of 99. The other reason is keeping the intake path, butterfly valves, intake valves clean as these become gunked up with oil or tarry stuff from burning oil and affects performance of these. Finally you may say why does Nissan not do it OEM. Comes down to cost, emissions and the end user! Cost is obvious as its one more item to add on the production cost. Emission; it's easier just to route the vented air in the intake so it's burnt and "cleaned than adding OCCs or other complex cleaning or catching systems just for the sake of a very small loss in performance! End user; how many of us will like to maintain an OCC. ie checking/draining it considering it will have no regular filling pattern unlike a service schedule! It's for these reasons alot of stuff on modern cars are compromised to fit rules/regs, different climates, fuels and the variety of the end user expectations.
  15. You can install your OCC on either the breather vent(small tube on driver side engune bank going into the plenum) or on the PCV side coming from the passenger side bank into the underside of the zed/intake tube. As you have pointed out most oil vapours comes from the breather side while the PCV blowby is predominantly fuel fumes and very small amount oil vapours. You should connect the pipe from the vent(breather or PCV) into the OCC inlet and another from the OCC outlet to the intake or plenum. So in essence you OCC "catches" the oil vapour and lets cleaner fuel vapour to go into the intake. You can cap the intake or plenum ports and vent to air via a filter but for a non-race car this is extreme and could mess up your engine smooth running as it confuse the already metered air read through the MAF. The single most important thing is to buy a baffled oil catch can which effectly traps and condenses the oil vapour and let the fuel vapour through and it's thus oil you have to drain from time to time. The common hollow OCC which is a majority even branded are hollow a do precious F all!! The vent vapours just go through it with very little catch! I have been looking for a baffled OCC myself for sometime and the ARC would have been perfect but too expensive and rare. Get custom stuff made in the UK is also too rich but I have found a company in the states who do this and are renowned worldwide. I am putting an order for Wasso and me once I get the measurements of the various tube diameters. Pm if interested for details.
  16. I really dont know what the fuss is with cleaning the TB? I use white spirit with a paint brush and do both sides and move the butterfly valve to clean the wall as some gunk always sits there. I then do the TB reset and the car always starts with no issues. I have never cleaned the MAF sensor before so will give it a go In anycase the Breather pipe spews most of the blowby oil into the intake plenum so if you can to clean this up for good then get a baffled oil catch on the breather side and or the PCv for the perfect combo
  17. Did you look at the date the FS was posted Anyway pm him or Alex and they would likely have this in stock
  18. I have a 2 month old Iphone 4 32GB that is without blemish as its been in the protective case since i got it from Apple as replacement under insurance for my old phone that was badly cracked. i am picking up the 4s next week so this has to go. i will get it unlocked same. £275 insured/delivered. Buyer covers paypal fees of 4% This sale includes the charger and box only as its unhygeinic to resuse earphones. you can pick this up cheap from the phone shops or ebay
  19. Final reduction £250 pick up or £300 delivered. When installed: Money shot
  20. i will accept £250 for the MREV2s delivered. Buyer pays the fees(4%) They need to go! i am still shocked that these have not flown out . looks like bling sells not proven mods that make power If here at weekend then off to ebay.
