Keyser Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) I think you may have seen a similar set of pictures from the Zed Shed before But to keep you all updated with the goings on in the Shed, here is another set (sorry the pictures are really poor - maybe the batteries are a bit flat but it was a crappy day anyway, dark raining and just yuk!) So Sunday morning MrE dropped in for a disk and Pad change I only mention it as it is worth pointing out he came down on a Saturday a few weeks ago to change the pads, We jacked the car up took the wheels off and then found out he forgot the pads So he came back on the following Sunday with the pads. So we jacked the car up took the wheels off and found the inside face of his disks were worn out Anyway we actually changed his disks and pads this Sunday. Of course MrsE brought homemade goodies again Yes the pic was taken 3 minutes after Buster got near the tin! This leads us on nicely to Sunday afternoon, Some of you may know that Matt has been struggling to out run car/caravan combinations in his 350z. He recently decided that it was all down to his under performing engine Now I just so happen to have a recently rebuilt VQ engine (O what a coincidence) so Matt very kindly offered to test the new engine for me and at the same time he can confirm if it is possible to outrun a caravan in a 350z. Everyone's a winner No speed records today just a lazy afternoon snapping bolts off a 10 year old Nissan I think we started around 1:30 Apprentice attack!!! Please notice Buster is already starting to fade (he only made it to 3:30 pm today) He worked to hard this weekend We found this in the radiator neatly folded and stuffed in a corner Easy access to the prop shaft On the Zed Shed floor ready to strip I think we finished about 6:30pm Going to split the Gearbox tonight and see what condition the clutch and fly are in. Will keep ya posted. Edited March 3, 2014 by Keyser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
