[michealkirwan]

jesus its been months since i got a chance to update. i swapped the vskfs to the rear as the images were way too wide and put the enkeis back on the front got car sorted for jae in newark in england, savage weekend will be heading back there. before i left that thursday the rad was fucked so i ordered a new japspeed one and silicone hoses and changed the coolant temp sensor as it was acting the prick.




myself and nigel!


we were the only irish crowd and the ones with the marquees that kept blowing over haha! i had the only sunroof zenki there and one of 2 zenki 14s at all. got a spin in a 34 skyline too was great craic!









people loved the car and the best show ever in my opinion the irish car scenes best day is literally a day and thats japfest. got over all the way and back 16 of us in 8 cars 4 the thursday 4 the friday ferry was ok some scraping going on the uras bumper beating everything.the colour was breaking necks everywhere which im happy about
waiting for the ferry home!
learned a lot about the car from the drive still needs tidying up
was a leak from the rocker gasket throwing oil onto yhr manifold and into the dash only when accelarating i changed the seal
gearbox speedo seal ive now changed
and heater matrix no heating i put in new hoses so still to check

Better tyre sizes, more lows especially on the back, spacers and fitment sorted, and a front grill and this is one of the nicest zenkis in ireland. Sorry I stole your 50mms. You shouldve never gave them to me.

waiting on a lambda sensor to arrive a brand new genuine one before i try run the car as id rather it wasnt lumpy and fill up with oil. need wheels a zenki vented bonnet if possible and looking at a dmax type 3 bumper also looking for front antiroll bar bushes or brackets that fit normally. mine seem squashed.

update time!
got a nismo z tune vent off ebay very impressed with quality.

got a free bonnet off a friend and cut it to fit. strange going at a bonnet with a grinder. zenki bonnets are very curved but got in on and done its primered now need small bits of filler. ill sort that then its getting wrapped.

bought 18s off adrian walsh theyre works. dishes on the rears are fecked like need sanding theyve a layer of chrome plating on them thats coming off. the rears fit but the front wont clear the calipers and i can try a spacer to clear but i dont want to cut my extended wheel studs, always something! front are 9s rears are 10s.



might sell on we will see.
