whilst putting the gear box back onto engine yesterday i broke one of the sensers but dont know what they do . im thinking its the speedo one but coulnt be sure oh and yes its plug has two yellow wires?

Sorry Mark you know the rules

I know Topless did one of these a number of years ago, but many photos in the thread are dead. Be good resource to see what exhausts people have out there. Everyone knows mine. Veilside Evolution.

Hi folks, i just failed an MOT & need to get a new exhaust (cat back). I'll be honest I'm not suprised, I knew it was on it's way out but wanted advice on what you think is best or what's commonly used & approved. I'm not exactly loaded but I guess it costs what it costs & I know they're not cheap. I've got no mods to my car other than an apexi intake & to be honest I don't see much happening in the near future but the next step would likely be a chip & remap. It's a 91 Z32 Jap TT LWB Basically what I want to know is which exhaust should I got for, the few I've spotted for not much cash are 1. Japspeed http://www.templetuning.co.uk/ja…

Can worn tension rod bushes cause intermittent steering shake under heavy-ish braking. Last night when I was thrashing my car around, the brakes were taking some stick & I was getting some real apparent steering shake when braking. The pedal was NOT pulsing. Tonight, lots of sensible driving, not a hint of shake even when braking hard. Strange. Warped discs - can't be cos the pedal would pulse and it would shake all the time? My bushes look OK and are currently OEM ones. Any thoughts guys? Cheers....

One for si i think, stunner this :) http://yahoo.221616.com/yahoo.php?exhibition_id=47606648 Mike

hello buddy.. first time i have seen ya when i am out in mine too nice lookin mota oops spelt wrong.. croeso.. thats better

It's been running great for months on end, today it won't start, except after prolonged cranking, 30 - 40 seconds then it will splutter into life. Sparking is fine. Plenty of fuel through return line. When it does fire up it's lumpy on tick-over but seems to run o.k. normal driving. Plug was dry and a nice coffee colour when removed to check spark. Any suggestions, please.

the pipe from the wastegate actuator, originally goes to the intercooler pipe. one side i have this, but on the other side, it looks like ive got the pipe going back to the intake plenum? on the balance bar? is this correct? or does it HAVE to go to the intercooler??

Just had a look at this new HLS serie from KW. Would be grat to have something like that for the Z, wouldn't it? http://www.kw-suspension.com/en/30_Products/21_KW_HLS/index.php

Happy Birthday Mate!!! Hope you have a great day :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

Hi all can anyone help me? Im going to be dummy fitting the engine tonight to see how much clearence i have in fitting the actuators and pipe work! What is the best way to lift the engine using the engine hoist without damaging the engine? I can only see one engine hook at the rear of the engine should there be more?? Also could i lift the engine from the heads?? P,s i also have a engine leveller is it wise to use that? Thanks Dan

Right, desperately trying to re-fit the disabled cruise control. The CC was disabled by the previous owner who had fitted an after market steering wheel. Now, the control box and the wiring to that is there, the on/off switch is there. I have cruise control button pad which I am going to mount somewhere, but I can't for the life of me work out where the wiring for this to plug into should be? I've had a good rummage around under the column and there's only wiring going to 3 connectors, one for the ignition, one for the indicator stalk and another for the HICAS sensor. Does this connector for the HICAS sensor incorporate the wiring for the CC? Because I can't rea…

Ok, I'm not scared of spanner work, god knows I've done enough to the Volvo over the last 6 months, but I look under the zeds bonnet, and I see spaghetti-pipes-and-wires, and to be fair, I've chickened out of doing the PCV's on my own. :headvswal Have any of you cov lads done the pcvs yourself? would you be willing to come round mine, and help me do em? :confused: I've got a huge garage, so weather is not an issue, I've got a crap load of tools, and my fridge is always well stocked with stella, but other flavours of beer will be bought, if needed.... :duffer: I'd really appreciate it, and my garage would be available to the wonderful helpful person, for any…

I'm going to socket my own ECU soon, but just wondering what chip carrier I need and where to get it from? I'm assuming RS or Maplins?

Hi guys I have a '91 TT, i also have a oil temp gauge fitted, what would be the lowest temp i could drive enthusiastically (with turbo boost) without doing any damage? Cheers

I've done searches for the exact location of the injectors but cannot find a diagram. Am I right in thinking they are very close to the throttle plate cover, set down with two wires running to each? If so, someone has crimped rubbish terminals to the front four which are quite loose and the revs alter if they are moved! I've re-crimped the ones that seemed worst, will have to wait for the engine to cool a bit before the others. I think new connectors might be in order.

Sounds like a cam follower to me, it's a slow tapping sound which increases with the revs. Any ideas or is this quite common?

my hazzards were working. i was changing a buld in the side repeater, then the hazards have stopped working. all indicaors work, each side, front and back. ive looked in the fuses in the drivers footwell, they all apear to be fine? is there anything else i should be looking for or any suggesestions?

although a little pricy, i think its the one nick (bantambunny) posted about a few weeks ago, they have done away with the little hole in the arch so may appeal to funki nice motor, but fail to see how its track prepared though???? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1201375.htm

I am not sure that this is the best place for this especially as it is not strictly Zed related, but it will be of interest to Zed owners who have little or no knowledge of car mechanicals and workings. This site really explains very simply about engines and tuning, it explains what can be done and what cannot be done, the latter could save you a lot of money. See what you think, the guy is obviously very knowledgeable. Apologies if this has been posted before. http://www.tuning.wanadoo.co.uk/index.htm

Just a little clip of me leaving a campsite on Sunday night(Had to drive back to London to work and leave my family down there:mad:) From the front.... side and rear, the Nissan designers got the shape just right:bow:
