Poor alarm installations are all to common occurrence that have to be dealt with, nuisance alarms, poor responding fobs, troublesome immobilises etc., however when you see some of the cable route use by some less qualified technicians its now wonder they play up. The photo below shows part of the alarm loom on a Toad alarm from the siren to the main unit, incredible although you cannot see it in the picture it was cable tied to the steering shaft!!! Jeff TT

For anyone looking to run a high power unfused stereo cable to the battery this is quite possible the worst ever way to do it. Jeff TT

I need bigger injectors and was planning on going down the following route DeatschWerks adapters to fit later style injectors as nismo one's for original rail are silly money, bigger injectors, and as the standard fuel rail struggles to get fuel to the last injectors I was thinking of splitting the rail running 2 feeds 2 fpr's, cant find any info if any one has run the standard rail as separate sides Thoughts ?

was a good meet and was nice to see a few of you :D

I just replaced front and rear shocks,and thought i would replace the silicone filled bushes in the tension rods. The 12mm Bolt holding the rubber strip to the bottom wishbone sheared off:headvswal on both sides :headvswal:headvswal. My question is the rubber strip is it to aid airflow to the brakes? and what effect would it have if i removed them. Otherwise it means drilling out the part thats left sheared in the wishbone:rolleyes: Dave

I had some ferodo discs for my Z and they have only lasted about a 1000 miles. And now they are warped. Can anybody suggest a good disc to go for, and is there any real benefit to running a tt Z with grooved or drilled (or both) discs on the front? Thanks, Dan

got a problem with my lights. if i put just side lights on the passenger side hid fires up but not drivers, i assumed this was dim dip and just drivers side didnt go for some reason. however i just went to try an solve the problem so 1st checked the voltages, drivers read 0.14 whereas the passenger side read 12.4 now if it was dim dip surely the voltage wouldn't as high as normal low beam would it? does anybody have any idea what is going on and how to sort it? thanks

I know there is a word for this but I have forgotten it lol. Anyway, on full boost my Z makes a rattling noise from the turbos, it seems to of gotton worse since I have put an aftermarket air filter on my car... What exactly is causing this noise? Is there a remedy? And what will it break first? Thanks, Dan

Where is the best place to drain the coolant from on my 1992 UK tt Z? And what capacity does it take to re-fill? Thanks, Dan

Ok, the time has come to lower the Z, but only a bit. I found some lowering springs on ebay that claim to lower by 2" all round, I measured where that would take the wheel to in the arch and it is far too low! So, now im not sure exactly how low I want to go... But, are just lowering springs a wise move, or will the ruin the cars handling? If so, what other options are availible, and, it would be most helpful if you guys could post some pics of your lowered Z`s and give details on what set-up they are and how much they are lowered by... Thanks for your help, Dan

Well 4 months I've own my Zed now and everytime i drive at night time i can't see fook all so decided to change to better lights,one thing I noticed is the side lights on the bumper (corner ones) don't work att all, I think I dont even have a connection for them.. Are they sepouse to work at all? Also when i put my main beams on the side lights cut off is this normal?

To put my spare engine onto the engine stand what size of bolts do i need? I dont have a spare set of gearbox bolts which is what i assume you would normally use so need to buy bolts which are the same. Read on and old post someone was using bolts from B&Q. Just need to know the length and size?

I just want to clean up the reservoir tank etc. Is it possible to separate the fluid pot from the main part (the bit I am holding)? As you may be able to see, there is a lot of dirt between the fluid pot and the main part and separating them would make it easier to clean. Thanks Ant

Hi Mike! Thought you might like to se the new home the engine I bought from you has finally found - Since Jimmer and Darrell got their hands on it and wove their magic! There's still some final 'fettling' - as Jimmer puts it - before she makes her journey to the bodyshop....... That is one sweet engine you and your dad built mate - Sounds absolutely fabulous - I'm pleased as punch that i was able to get my hands on it! :) In the first clip, the car is running without the exhaut (as you may guess!) The second, with the exhaust fitted....... And the last one is her first movements under her own power f…

Well actually its not a new zed but feels like one, just had the Stillen ARB front and rear with new droplinks, energy suspesion 3 piece tension rod bushes, rear track arms and hicas outer bushes fitted and 4 wheel alignment done. The rear wheel hop when goin over bumps, pot holes etc is gone, under braking the nose diving is gone, steering and cornering is much tighter and the sloppy overall feel is gone, I'm one happy zedder :hyper:

First four photo`s from a 1996 zed! seen better 1989 ones, proof later cars are less well protected, in some places not undersealed at all. Jeff TT

Badly repaired accident damage can spell trouble for subsequent owners of any car but below is a horror story in the making we were witness to. The o/s inner wing section was split completely away from the car structure, all along the chassis rail and along the inner arch, the only thing keeping it in place were the strut fixings and the outer wing bolts. The owner had the previously day been having fun at high speed and was aware of a “funny feeling” on the front end...............jeeez. After inspection it was evident that a previous repair had gone very wrong, a new chassis rail/ leg had been fitted but the iner wing had not been welded back in ( at any…

Buyers please be aware Funny how a new bumper fitted to a zed for sale can enhance it so much prospective buyers forget to look behind it. The photo's show a recently purchased zed ( from a garage ) all splendid with an after market front bumper, however when viewed from beneath on a ramp all was not good. The missing undertrays and damaged other trays was a good indicator that some thing was amiss but when you look at the front offside chassis rail / front member it has taken a substantial impact. The damage is so bad it has deformed the fixings of the tension rod bracket, the area around it is all mishaped and has caused a set forward on that wheel …

That they made a mistake on the price?? http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_9&products_id=141&osCsid=3380199528d0cb2d372ff79dee007271
