As the title really, I placed an order from CZP last Wednesday night and just over a week later it arrived. The service from them was A1, mega prompt replies to my email enquiries and best of all its has worked out a just over half price compared with UK supply. Not to mention that they had it all in stock and if ordered from the UK most of my order would have taken over 3 weeks as it needs to come from Japan. Just thought I'd share my shopping experience:duffer:

http://www.z32-zone.com Great site to surf for bits and pieces......if you can forget it's all in Japanese ! If you just follow hot-spots on any given page it usually leads to goodies that wll make you think 'Oooh I want one of those' ! Well it did for me :) Apologies of this site has been posted before....... Mark

Hi guys. Got my UK clocks through today! Well happy. Dug out my DTA dial surrounds and offered them up. I like them, but I also like the clean look of stock clocks. Before anyone says, I am not fitting indiglo or white dial faces. What would you do?

Hi all, Just got a new problem. When the car is cold and I stop anywhere, the revs dip to almost zero and then it coughs and the fan belt starts squealing. The fan belt keeps squealing until a fan cuts in ( I can hear it) and the it stops. The belts are all tight. It also idles way too fast sometimes but that's only when it's hot :confused: Any ideas?. Cheers.

One very poorly turbo, no debris other than the bits of turbo so quite what cause the failure is uncertain, a complete rebuild of the turbo was required, no engine damage whatsoever so not as expensive as you would think to get sorted. Jeff TT

Noticed today in the passenger footwell that I had a small water feature trickling down my carpet. Can I just take the rubber hoses off the back of the engine and link the two metal pipes together with a bit of hose? Thanks.

Right a few weeks ago i drove my car to Wigan and on the way back i started getting a slight hesitation when on boost. Its missing slightly when boosting and also slightly when on idle. Well after working none stop for the last few weeks i've got some spare time tomorrow and would like suggestions on what to check. All in very simple terms please cos i dont know so much i'm afraid. If people could give me a small list of the first things to check and how to check that would be great. I will be taking my strut brace etc off to gain access so what needs checking.
