Saw you heading along Muller Road yesterday, just gone under the railway bridge. I wasn't in my Zed (and going the other way), but I could see a lot of staring from people in the cars infront and behind me :) Certainly the Zed's have presence.

Hello all Sorry Steve! I bought a longlife exhaust recently and have Greg Dupree divorced downpipes and 2fast2cool decats. Its just too loud sounds like a trumpet rather than an exhaust at low revs. What can I do to fix it? Cheers all Ron

Is a ET40 offset anygood?

Is the NA automatic box the same as the TT, i.e., are they interchangeable ?

I've posted up many threads regarding what to do about refitting CC to a Z with an aftermarket steering wheel. I have never liked the original wheel. One of the few things I dislike about the Z32 was its dated bus sized wheel. First I went down the route of looking into fitting the SRS equipped Zs CC stalk. This turned out to be a bit of a failed idea as, whilst researching and doing some measurements, found out that the SRS equipped Zs use a longer steering column with a different column shroud. Needless to say, none of it would have fitted unless I'd have swapped out the column. SOD THAT! I moved onto relocating the buttons that would have come with the old st…

...what do you reckon? I think they're cool.

My mate got a seat lean cupra 1.8t 20v with front mount intercooler, remap & induction kit, he's running at a guess 235bhp he wants to race me, should i waste some fuel, need to change my gear box oil as it crunches at very high rev's when i change gear its perfect when driving normal, any suggestions peeps, as tomorrow i'am gonna kill him on a quarter mile.

Hi my Z is fitted with a aftermarket boost gauge and was wondring does that measure the pressure from one or both turbo's, also i want to fit a dump valve & was wondering if i need one or two as the Z seem's to have 2 of everything lol.

The new engine is back in and the single turbo conversion almost finished but know the car won't start. Symptons There is no spark, I thought I had fuel but now not so sure as I have plugged in a spare CAS and turned it and the injectors aren't clicking. I am going to check the loom, PTU/CAS connections cleaned. I also changed the car loom with the fuse box, my guess would be something to do with that. So my questions are, which part of the car loom could affect the electrical running of the engine? Any other suggestions? Really want to get this conversion running so all help appreciated.

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.

Hi. I just missed out on an auction on ebay, which didn't make reserve and I'm wondering if anyone knows this guy:- http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/toys4boys59/ It was a black wide-arched Zed, but ebay blocks messaging once an auction has ended:( Cheers, Dave

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
