Keyser

Very nice to the club

along

Don't worry about your Superchargers fit this sucker into your 350z!! I have never had this engine running, I got it from a guy in the BDCC who was half way through fitting it in his E82 BMW when his plans changed (like mine ) I did fit it into a 350z but with home made mounts not a kit more to see if I could, was going in the Pop Z but not happening now. It also comes with - Brand new twin plate clutch and light weight flywheel. Plug and play loom 4 wires to fire it up all relays ect built into loom all re flashed gm ecu with immobiliser delete. Throttle pedal and wiring all done in to the new loom. Sicky intake pipe and filter with correct mount for Maf brand new (Note this fits the BMW not the 350/370z would need modifying) T56 6 speed box Accusump and realise valve plus a oil cooler with lines all brand new. Will require exhaust headers Will Need a sump, it has a half built custom sump at the moment - Sumps available as a kit to to fit a 350z Some ancils are there and some parts are already modified can give more details if required. Engine came out of a 2006 monaro with 24 k full history Sold as seen - so come see it I'm asking £5000 Cash on collection - Now that's comparable to a supercharger price! This will go better and sound better! How it was when I got it Originally in here Keyser.

There must be a lot "not worth knowing" about Zeds Oi I resemble that remark!!!

crank sensors are or can be temperamental mybe removing it and putting it back in helped but thats just a guess, also cleaning them may have helped, best thing is keep an eye on it for a few days. Glad she is running aganin though Got your PM will reply soon

You seem to have taken the right steps so far. OK in no paticular order, The light on the dash should blink slowly when just a constant "blip" about 1 a second when the car is locked, off when unlocked. So yes possible NATS problem. The charge light on - a battery tender is just that not a charger so possible battery fault or the battery tender is not giving enough charge, but a week should do it - possible battery fault as well. Cranks but not starts - NATS I'm leaning that way also worth checking is the main coil pack loop earth this is a poxy little black wire with the circle type end and a 10mm bolt through it found on the left hand side top of the cam chain cover just below the pal;stic engine cover. Clean the bolt as well! Next setp is battery off for 30 mns plus reconnect (make sure you have 12V+) close all doors and bonnet, lock the car wait 1 min then unlock jump in and (fingers crossed) you are away. If not it's onto the normal is there fuel, spark etc tests then CPS etc etc. I say NATS due to flat battery thats my feeling at tyhe moment but I've been wrong before Good luck mate

@ OP Check the drop links (I've snapped one in the past) if not that it's a bush or 2 that have worn. Its not usually something you can see unless they are hanging out but they have worn out most likley on one of the control arms. Not so sure on the 370 depends on age but IMO the ARB on the back end of a 370 is a bit whimpy to start with - upgrade made a huge difference on mine.

BOOO It will fit though

What you think I haven't been up to my neck in it ???!!!! To be honest I have been really busy with loads of stuff, work is manic and there are possibilities of some major changes in the company in the next few months, if these do go ahead then there will be some lifestyle changes for me and the good lady wife. This has also got me thinking about my current project list along with the huge number of other things (not necessarily car related) that I want to do. There is a very strong possibility that I will bin the Pop Z project as something has to give and I can't bring myself to let go of the Radical just yet!!! Believe me when she is running right (which is not very often ) there is nothing like it as a driving experience, or at least nothing else I can afford to do! I also do not have a limitless supply of this thing they call money and you can only spend it once - being as I'm getting older (read got old) there are a few other things we would like to do which unfortunately also cost money! So if anyone wants to do a 350 or 370 LS swap drop me a PM I have an LS engine and gearbox that would drop in a treat going up for sale It's not all doom and gloom though so do not fear, We still have to get round to another complete redesign on the Radical to stop the bloody thing melting / blowing up on track, The Electric go carts project is still being progressed and I still have the GTR in the "Stables" for those occasions where a pleasant drive out is in order I'll catch you up on the E Carts soon as we built another one and in the meantime this happened. Yes I had to collect @Beb 370 after it broke down Original diagnosis was CPS, also the battery died and would not take a charge, Beb replaced the CPS and put on a new battery, The Z then started but wasn't right, I diagnosed a seized aircon pump from what I could see looking between the rad fans and the engine (not much) Unfortunately I was close it was something sized but it turned out to be the Supercharger !!!!! The Zed is currently in the Zed Shed II in bits while we try to source a replacement C38 – 81 Rotrex SC! Not sure what happened, the cause is oil starvation, but we have no idea where the oil went, the reservoir was checked on a regular basis, I found no leaks, split pipes or damage to the oil cooler. There was no oil in the undertray or on Beb’s drive (which is block paved and you would see it). My current theory is that the seal on the main shaft went and the oil pumped through the engine, but we will never really know what happened. More on that story soon. Keyser Maximum Effort

I'm a definite maybe at the moment Will confirm as soon as I can buddy

Congrats mate

Thanks Alex - I was going to posta a I can't help at the moment @TobeZ350 so talk to Alex he is your man

You have ramps - Awesome - best colour as well Now you just need a second shed to keep all the bits in while you build the Zed

Yes mate

I'm in 1. Andy James 2. Humpy 3. Maz (gg2040uk) 4. MatthewThain 5. Keyser the imposter - Maximum Effort 6.

I like it

No miles from you

What he said ^^ along

Me I'm the supervisor I personally don't report to anyone (except Mrs Keyser when I'm in need of plasters / medical attention and dripping blood - happens more often than you'd think ) But I do have the T-Shirt to cover this - What you can't see in that picture is the last line of the notice - Here is a close up There are a few Notices in the Zed Shed Keyser

The long set of draws is from SGS https://www.sgs-engineering.com/stc9600b-stainless-steel-work-bench Very impressed with the quality especially given the price - go look at the price of a snap on Would recommend it - but you need a long space to fit it! They do a couple of smaller ones. The tool box is from eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40-US-PRO-MASSIVE-TOOL-CHEST-CABINET-BOX-STAINLESS-STEEL-54-FINANCE-AVAILABLE/311124254989?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 Not as good as the SGS one quality wise but given size and price I think it's OK my Mac Tools one is a lot better quality but costs 4 time more, for what I wanted I'm happy it will do the job but if you want something more "rugged" you will be paying a lot more - Of course I don't know how they will last, I'll let you all know if they start falling apart

Ha - Got ya! Thanks mate I almost feel bad - only ALMOST If you doodle on my walls you will have Mrs Keyser to answer to - I wanna be there for that

Couple of panorama pics Machine Shop - Main Shed Now it appears that @andybp would like me to explain things a bit better, apparently using my crayons, In my best efforts to please and using all my Blue Peter skills I thought I would help him visualise the difference in our respective garages after his comments - So here you go mate to put it in perspective for you I made a 1:1 scale model of your garage and did a comparison photo just for you Keyser - Maximum Effort

The Zed Shed II Refurb is finished and it's back to shenanigans We emptied the main garage area and the wife was there again with the vacuum cleaner getting it ready for paint - The ramp pits needed some work!! Better - The floor Before - and after 3 coats Then we had to move everything back in and rearrange it to look better. Some new tool boxes All tools away nicley Some custom made tool holders (stainless steel so they should stay looking good) Now the boards look like this - ...........................................

Had a question but not a taker on this so PM me and we can sort out postage mate
