GreenLandy Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Ah, bit of a mess! Nothing like a good challenge. Also explains why you haven't got back to me on my car too then Luke (black 350z) Quote
Luke0549 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 wowzers! didn't you have a problem with another Z Luke? (I could be making that up!).. Another blue 350z in the Zed Shed?! oh where to start... 1st one i got cut up on a entry slip to dual carridge way - that was sent to the zed shed for work and the black donor kebab zed was born. then i sold the donor kebab one to fund a route 66 trip. then i bought another last year with 152k miles just to go ring in which was fine. and then this one... 1 Quote

Luke0549 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Theres no other car that comes close for the money/performance/drive. However i am debating if i should build a vortech 350z, or buy an 370z / Evo X.... Quote
Keyser Posted May 24, 2016 Author Posted May 24, 2016 Plans for the Zed, Well Luke and I are still discussing that, the cost of the rebuild V breaking its a tough one due to the amount of damage and cost of parts to repair, we are both leaning towards breaking her but it has not been 100% decided just yet. I'll keep you all updated when we decide what to do. Quote
leonk Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Wow, sorry to see this Luke. Probably not what you want to hear right now but it does make you think about keeping a good quality fire extinguisher in the car. Following a little incident in the garage I now have FOUR extinguishers. It's frightening just how quickly it takes hold. All the best getting in sorted, I know you are in capable hands. Quote
Luke0549 Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 yes, I have already looked at hard wiring a extinguisher system to minimize damage next time! Quote
Keyser Posted June 1, 2016 Author Posted June 1, 2016 Pulled the engine out to see how bad things were Grundy you are an amateur mate This is how to kill an engine - So we think this might not be an economical repair Quote
WINKJ Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I feel another V8 yank conversion coming Did the other one get finished in the end?!? Quote
Keyser Posted June 1, 2016 Author Posted June 1, 2016 I feel another V8 yank conversion coming Did the other one get finished in the end?!? Its a work in progress - in fact we were ordering parts for it today - well I just did the shopping list Wasso got his wallet out - apparently I'm better than his Mrs for spending his money 5 Quote

marzman Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Luke, was there any penalty for the track closure or marshal assistance at the 'ring? Edited June 2, 2016 by marzman Quote
BulletMagnet Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Did the Zed Shed Crew go to Germany to recover the Zed? Quote
Keyser Posted June 3, 2016 Author Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Did the Zed Shed Crew go to Germany to recover the Zed? No mate just as far as Abbey Motorsport where the Zed was first recovered to for them to give a once over - they found the hole in the block so that's when Luke found out it was worse than hoped Edited June 3, 2016 by Keyser Quote
Vlad Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Did the Zed Shed Crew go to Germany to recover the Zed? No mate just as far as Abbey Motorsport... Pfffff..half a job again Edited June 3, 2016 by Vlad 1 Quote
