Working on the cars today, had to switch out the alternator on the GTZ....man it was a biitch!!!

AS FOR THE CAVY...IT WILL TAKE A BIT LONGER THAT EXPECTED. I STOPPED BY AT THE MACHINE SHOP TO SPEAK WITH THE OWNER. TURNS OUT HIS GUYS OVER BORED THE CYLINDERS ON THE LD9. I DID NOT INSTRUCT THEM TO DO THIS. HE IS NOW LOOKING FOR A NEW BLOCK FOR ME AT NO COST AND WILL COMPLETE THE 2.3 OIL PUMP SWAP ''AGAIN'' AT NO COST.

ON WITH THE TONS OF PICS!!!













FINALLY GOT THAT SUCKER OUT!

IM ASSUMING THAT IS THE SPARK, KNOCK SENSOR?



THIS GAUGE MODE SPARKED MY INTEREST....ANYONE GET THIS MUCH SPARK ADVANCE? JUST CURIOUS...NO WOT PULLS YET READING THIS. AND NO KNOCK

I choose the technology built for land speed records... not the technology built to save on emissions and gas mileage.

1. Thats the high pressure fuel pump for the Direct Injection system, there is a pump in the tank that pumps fuel to the HPFP which then boosts the pressure to around 2,500psi.

2. That is the factory oil cooler/warmer.

3. No, those are the solenoids for the Variable Valve timing system, which work via metering oil pressure to the cam phasers.

Forgot the picture of the VVT solenoids, my Quote skills are lacking....but you get the point.

I'd love to get my hands on a GTZ ]:->

Thanks for the info! Trying to learn as much as I can from this car.

Only downside so far is I have to hold down the button to open the sunroof...no auto button. And also that the power window buttons are on the door not in the middle just like the Z24 and the GTZ.
