That's a pity Stew as it will be a really good day, hope the weather holds.

You will soon forget your hangover when you are flying round Knockhill

A full track day at KRC on Saturday 8th August The morning session is organised by SIDC and will run from 9am-1pm and will be open pit lane. There is a great mix of cars for this one and KRC are providing two race instructors at no additional charge for anyone who wants to polish up on there track driving technics. The afternoon session is with Autoeccosse and again there will be a great mix of cars. This one will run from 2pm-6pm and it also will be open pit lane. There is also to be hospitality laid on for this one so no one should go hungry. I am planning to be there for the whole day, so if any one fancies coming over then please do so. There is no entrance fee and the pitwall will be fully open. Helmets can be borrowed for the day if you fancy a few pax laps or you can just spectate if you wish. If you have not attended before then please do not be shy and come over and introduce yourself as we really are a very friendly bunch. Alex.

Chris, most BBK have the holes for the handbrake adjustment, but no big deal if it does not. All you do is let off the handbrake cable adjustment inside the car and flick up the adjuster at the hub with the drum off until the drum is a "snug" fit. Finally adjust the handbrake from the cable inside the car. Alex.

Hi and to the forum, great to have yet another Scot on board.

I always ignore the groves, dimples etc and fit discs with the vanes pointing back. In certain instances where the vanes are straight, then I would refer to the angle of the groves or dimples.

Don't mix.

Exactly my sentiments indeed. The Fidanza fitting instructions clearly state that if interference issues are experienced at the crankshaft "boss" then this can easily be corrected by removing excess material from the fly with a 3 cornered scraper or by heating the fly on an electric "hotplate". I measured up 3 different crankshafts this afternoon and all would have accepted the Fidanza fly without any fitment issues. Unfortunately, Chris's crank is .45mm larger than the norm. and the garage was unwilling to follow the Fidanza fitting instructions. I have had to lightly scrape many a Fidanza fly to overcome interference issues but I have never had to heat one up. Chris, I hope that you get reunited with your Zed very soon and it was a pleasure chatting with you today. Alex.

Like I told you last week, I have OEM UK carbon steel pivot balls on order from Nissan and the cromoly type on order from USA. You were to get back to me today with your requirements once the box was pulled to confirm if you required a retaining clip and possibly a fork.

The cam boxes have six oils seals, one for each spark plug. Unfortunately Nissan do not provide the seals separately from the cam box.

Hi Kev and to the forum.

Definately an ATI C2 Procharger dumping to atmosphere. Best to install as recirculating.

My pleasure to help you out mate, that is what this forum is all about. I know it took a while but well worth the effort in the end. Great result. Superb when a plan works especially with a £3000 + saving. Now go and enjoy your Zed. Alex.

I have a spare brand new B & M short shifter available for next day shipping Only fit the best. PM me if you want it. Alex.

1 hour job. 45 minutes to remove the oem shift knob. 15 minutes to install kit.

Here you go. In stock with next day shipping. viewtopic.php?f=32&t=13464

It would be very easy to eliminate the ARB drop links by disconnecting them and driving over a rough surface. Knock gone faulty ARB link. Knock still there ARB link okay.

Andy, you would be well advised to stick with the Nissan belts, they are not that expensive.

Definately bolt on.

PM replied to mate. Got a choice of 3 engines available so definately should have something to suit you. Cheers for the headsup guys Alex.

Charlie, If it is the lower arm that you are referring to mate, (compression rod is the correct term or as we call it the banana arm) and you find the ball joint is worn and to keep it oem you have got to replace the complete arm. There are after market ball joints available but they are more designed to bring your geometry back in to line and to sort bump steer issues. The arms from Nissan are around £300.00. each. I sell them preowned at £100.00 each. There are other ball joints on the front suspension that could give you knocks and also best to check the top arm (wishbone) to make sure the balljoint nut is really tight. Get it checked out properly before you splash any more cash mate. Alex.

Absolutely.

Nice one Sandy, great to have you along Convoy leaving from mines Sunday am.

Hi mate sorry to hear that your knock is back, but you really have to get it professionally diagnosed. The bottom ball joint on the front suspension is part of the compression arm and is not available separately as an oem replacement. The ARB links are available either as stock or adjustable. Guessing which part is giving you grief is extremely expensive. I have most of the suspension arms and ball joints available as preowned. I also have available new stock ARB links and new adjustable links, the latter should be fitted when you have a lowered suspension set up. Best to get an expert to check your suspension over mate and get an informed diagnoses. I have about a 25 full sets of these available with next day delivery, so no problem with supply. Alex.
