Of what is over kill on a vortech

Thinking about repairing my aircon pipe which has a hairline fracture in it when I tried to move it during the vortech install. The area it fractured has a wear spot from something the previous owner had done,probably =). So my question is can I repair it/get a pro to do it/get a second hand pipe from zmanalex? It must only be a small hole as it took around 10mins to empty and the coloured oil to spew out. If I have to replace the pipe how do the mushroom type connectors work? (it is the pipe from the front of the car under the airbox up to the battery compartment furthest to the passenger side). Cheers (have sent some emails to local repair shops but I know some of u guys are up early ;-)

Still not looking forward to mentioning 'supercharger and supporting mods' to them. =/ might have to phone sky etc so I have numbers to barter with.

I am in the same boat so might try some of these products too.

Welcome =)

Yeh but I also need another one so may aswell get two correct sized ones.

yup

I guess this is what I need to do to sort the pressure.

So my engine oil didnt turn up this week so no starty Primed the fuel pump a few times and gauge went up to 70 psi then dropped down to 50ish tried turning the valve on top of the regulator but no change so need to go read up on how they work but at least there aint any leaks at quite high pressures so will be happy to fire her up once I get some lube in her. Wasn't happy with the one bracket for the inter cooler so made a new one up. Pitty I dont stock pile american bolts as the only ones that fit are a bit large. Also made a bracket for the other oil catch can and in now sits beside the screen wash reservoir, nay pics cos phone battery died on me, I think I only have to cut up my bumper, wheel arch trim bits (so the intercooler and pipe work fit) fill with oil, then I am probably ready to roll.

That looks a bit big to be the bit I was talking about, have you ever had any work done on the cam chain? That looks like it could be from the lower part of the front cover, whatever it is I'm sure it's been done by putting the wrong bolt in somewhere. Problem is to inspect further is an engine out job unless you can see something through the sump when removed. I said don't ask but lets just say Buster may have put a long bolt in a short hole during an engine build! @ octet don't worry we can do much more damage to your car Not sure what part you mean keyser but here is a pic if anyone can guess where it may have come from the sump (think of it as where is wally before he puts his shirt and hat on

So sorry to hear this. My thoughts to his family and friends.

Hello =)

Pm Zmanalex, he normally has them in stock.

Just thought I would kill this thread as I finally managed to get hold of imperial allen keys and it was easy enough to check the level, dont know what the fuss was about on the other 350z website. I couldnt check the level from the wheel arch, just had to squeze my hand in beside the headlight and work it out from under the bonnet. Lucky the fluid is bright pink so easy to read.

Stillen oil pan's he supply's are good, just fitted mine. comes with pick up spacer and blue RTV.

lol ok, now I am unimpressed and think you should have the time and bodies to take the whole car apart and rebuild it after cleaning everything with toothbrushes

There is going to be a lot of parts to fit in 1-2 days? I know you have the Z doctor working on it but have you got a back up plan if something goes wrong? Did Ian not have a LHD pillar pod?

I would love one but unfortunately my flat is probably too far away to run a power cable, (another garage and a flat in the way ) Going to wait till march before I tax her and book in for RS so got a full month to hopefully finish off the small bits and bobs plus start it

Yeah I had an old reverse camera screen where the sat nav used to be, took the live from that to power the 3 power cables for the afr gauge also used it for the boost gauge (one power wire ) Hope she runs ok otherwise trailering her down will be expensive

Fitted much easier when my fingers were working. Used the prescribed 4-5mm bead of RTV around the sump but looks like a lot came out the gap, probably the colour makes it look more than the oem stuff that was on it, only torqued to 10 so not over done it. Will wait a few days before I fill her with oil so it can cure properly Unfortunately I dont get a holiday monday so need to wait till next weekend before I hopefully get round to start her.

Every Jap motor had some bodykit that looked factory but could not tell what they were, lots of 4 door cars not many coupes mostly jdm type r's and other stuff. Not loading a base map, hoping to just baby the car down to RS in Leeds.
