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://

7.30am this morning heading to pontypool from cwmbran

noticed last night mine has these :cool:......Do they all.

One of my last jobs to get the most out of the engine is to sort the O2 sensors out. The ones on my UK TT Manual are shagged. Ive got a donor fully working pair, i have the correct 3/8" offset snapon O2 socket, various bars and whatever. Took the zed out and really warmed up the tubs, to assist removal. Starting on the passenger side as it looks most awkward,, made as much space, remove battery and loom aside How the hell do you get to them?????? Anyone who has changed them on a TT, got any suggestions of how you did it, If JeffTT sees this, how do you do them????????? "Toit like a toiger" Stu

Is any one bringing a cable and software to the meet and we can all check our cars??? I have the cable and laptop which i will bring, but no software yet. Just a thought! Daz.

Will this kit plug and play in place of a series 1 ptu Thanks

Hi I've read a few posts on here that say putting on aftermarket steering wheels can effect the HICAS. The answer seems to be to fit the proper Boss. Can someone clarify the situation and explain why it causes the HICAS to play up. Cheers Ric

the few problems i have on the car could be pointing to the maf. am i correct poor fuel consumption- less than 20mpg driving very stedy i would expect nearer 30! slightly lumpy idle strong smell of fuel when accelerating hard/ going up hill. i would have thought that the lambda sensors would have corrected any fueling issues though below 3k am i right? any way to test easily

I have took a tackle to updating my rides section... But does the description thingy support HTML?

Has anyone got a quick way turning a jpg to a avatar suitable for the forum. Think it has to be 100x100

Hi mate. do you still have that picture lurking around with the 99spec bumper on the zed?

Sorry for the delay in updating you what's going on guys. Basically i've moved house rather suddenly, i popped a picture up recently of the new garage, it's brilliant. 35 foot long, double garage and lighting/heating. Makes life easier, i've got more done this last week than i have in 3 months of working at my parents house in the odd hour when i pop round :nana2: So where to start, so i've stripped down and cleaned all the metal particles from the block, torqued up the crank, pistons and conrods. The windage tray is all beaten to shape and lock tighted on. I've now fitted and torqued down the sump in place. Timing the cam was the hardest part, I us…

This might sound like a silly question, but if you found drops of oil in the catch pan you put under the car, is there anyway of telling / testing whether it´s engine oil or gearbox oil before getting under the car and investigating the source ? Cheers Maz

Ok I've searched the threads and have found a few different opinions but has anyone got the definitive answer on this. I have a set of clocks that read up to 180 and it is listed in MPH only (no KMH readings at all) They seem to be reading in KMH ie. when doing 70 MPH they read 112 on the clocks. I think I need a converter. Is this correct? if so where is the best place to get one and how are they fitted. Cheers

The boot release aint working properly. To get it to open you have to keep the lever pulled up while at the same time lifting the boot lid (easy if you have a passenger or 12 foot arms) I'm thinking it's either the catch or the struts. Anyone had a similar problem

anyone know where to get 99 spec front indicators from. think ive seen them at the z centre but are there alternatives ie smoked etc

Any one thinking of strenthaning, there 300 a 2.1mtr concreat lintal fits in :smash:nicely

My Speedo is displaying MPH but seems to be reading KMH. Could this be down to some sort of sender relay The fuel cap is not opening from the lever......Now sorted And the boot release is working but the lever has to be held up at the same time as lifting the boot And lastly I need the following repaired. Anyone know if it's much of a job. And the cigarette lighter is not working (Bummer for the sat nav) Scratch that one now fixed Cheers
