I have a buddy saying he's gonna do this, & has found a TT long block for me for a great price Is there a hp gain, I've heard it will make the na exhaust more throatier (if thats a word) but I'm just trying to find out if its a waste of time besides the obvious gaskets & head bolts what else is needed for the swap

Has any one used a company in Colchester called "Auto Trim" for their seats/interior http://www.autotrim.co.uk/index.html Ric

Hi Guys is there a picture of the engine bay showing a what's what, might be useful for me being new to the zed TT Cheers Rich

Hi Guys Is there any way to tell if i have a short shifter fitted? Cheers ric

Can any one tell me what is the largest possible screen that anyone has installed in the radio surround moulding? looks like 7" might be the max.. Rich

Had a guy round last night to re gas the system, he did the usual, emptied the R12 (600g)?? took out moisture, put in R24, after everything was sorted the guages were reading fine, but the output was not cold, 30deg. As the gauges were reading okay, he couldn't diagnose the problem with his big book!! Any one got any ideas? Rich

Ive cleaned throttle bodies Done boost/vac leak test with no leaks checked tps and cas changed the maf timing is ok new temp sensor and wiring loom. Could it be the ptu? When it is cold it holds back at 2500 revs and all of a sudden it will be ok and i will have a burst of speed, then i will go under 2500 revs and it will hold back again, the revs also drop when i go to pull away, after about 10 mins or so the car will run fine. What do you guys think?

turbo seals gone on the below link http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1126830.htm anybody know if this is a big job and a rough price to have a mechanic do it? can the sills be changed easy enough or do new turbo units need to be fitted?

What do you think http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220465609009&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_5827wt_1165

Im curious what its running as looks very very fast

At long last, some sun! That means a full day of washing and waxing, followed by some topless shots. What do you think?

If you could have songs for the zed, what would they be.????? Mine 1. When shes is working - She's so lovely - Scouting for girls 2. When shes not - She fooking hates me - Puddle of mud 3- Overall - Back in black - ACDC

Had the old connector changed and had it regassed with a can of R12 > R134a conversion stuff dropped in also, after driving home from work just now I noticed a puddle of pinkish liquid on the floor, it was quite thin and watery but felt a bit oily too, would this be the gas/oil leaking out possibly? Or could it be autobox oil it wasn't hot to the touch just room temperature. The puddle was near the drivers side wheel. It had stopped dripping so couldnt see where it was coming from, any ideas i'm stumped. My coolant is pink but it would have been hot I'd have thought and a pipe hissing like it normally does when it leaks.

thought this might be interesting to see what people come up with. everyone has pics of there zed on there drive ect but how about some pics in strange, unique, stunning locations or things like that. no photoshops though. anyone up for it? im guesing si will have the best one lol

as above, one in sainsburys just outside of guildford.. then saw another traveling down a31 towards alton.

sorry for stealin your pic.. hope ya don;t mind :tongue: would it cover the hole of my current spoiler.. onyl reason i ask i either wanna go spoilerless or this one .. i don;t think big ones look good on zed's (personall opinion sorry) i wanna change mine as i use my car everyday and as i found out if it rains the spoiler holds all the water in its lip and i open the boot.. everything in it gets soaked... and where can i get one cheers

just trying to get opinions on the viscus, i know it does a good job cooling the car, but what about the sound? does make the car/engine sound "bus like" from outside, (on low revs/idle anyway) when going fast supose the noise isnt noticed as the exhausts over rule it

Hi, I just though , has anyone else got magazines/ books that feature the zed?? Maybee start a thread, and see what we can find?? I will start off, 1. The encyclopedia of super cars vol 2 issue 19 2. Nissan sports fairlady z original brochure(in jap) 3. Nissan 300zx enthusiast`s companion book 4. Practical classics june 2005 5. CAR magazine march 1990 6. Road and track 1984-1989 z31 7. Autocar & motor 16 may 1990. ;) Daz.

Well it's been almost 3 weeks since I bought PhilP's blue UK spec car. Today I have been doing a few bits; like...... Fitting some Mania Vortex wheels - Thanks Dave (EvoluZion3):bow: Removing the "carrots" and replacing them with some clear side repeaters Removing the orange from the indicators (I got it right this time;)) - and a big thanks to JeffTT for the replacement following my daft moment on Sunday:wack: Fitting my numberplate now that DVLA has completed the transfer. I still need to fit my new 99-spec rears, have the a/c fixed (new condenser needed) and get it in the body-shop to have the driver's door and n/s rear wing sprayed. Oh y…

i have just removed my rear spoiler and tbh i am not 100% shore what i think of it .please give me your honest thoughts.thanks... http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc184/svodiac/dragon421.jpg[/img]"]http:// http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc184/svodiac/P8130005.jpg[/img]"]http:// http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc184/svodiac/P8130007.jpg[/img]"]http://
