Regent square car park, series 2 i think.

I'm refurbing calipers at the moment. Standard original ones. I'm going to get new discs all round most likely grooved & drilled. The important thing is that i'm going to put larger fronts on with a relocation bracket. So on the website dbpower I see various larger discs BUT also I see larger pads for standard calipers to be used only in conjunction with a larger disc. Makes sense to me as the larger pad will cover the width of the discs contact surface. Now I am stuck with choosing pads. I was going to just get ebc turbo groove discs with the new larger redstuff pads, job done. But I see mixed reviews about redstuff. So below I break down what I…

Hi, Im going to be needing an adjustable fuel regulator for my setup when its finished. Which is the best one to buy for the Zed? I have been looking at the Nismo one. What do you think? Cheers Dan

the power steering belt had slipped off on my sons zed when we got it and we would like to put it on so we can move it around without getting a workout so any help is appreciated.

Hi all, I have 350z calipers to fit to my Zed. I have 350z front discs fitted but not sure if the 350z discs would fit on the rear or would i have to go for 300zx fitments. Has anyone else got this set up or knows what i can fit? Cheers Dan

Hi lads and ladies got a problem with my vehicle going into limp mode when engine warm, (vehicle - tt 93 auto). so tried the diag on http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnettech/autodiag/autodiag.html but nothing flashes or light come on? is there something missing from the procedure?? Many Thanks Andy.

Well today was the day I said goodbye to Silver Streak. I took the car up to see JD and picked up the new owner on the way. We tinkered, we mapped and we mapped some more then we tinkered some more (Well JD did :D). After some very nice mapping, we dyno'd the car. At 14psi we were hitting 500bhp, we continued to map and up the boost with 19psi as the safe target. Unfortunately at only 16psi the dyno maxed out before the car hitting its 530bhp limit. So the rest of the mapping had to be done on the road which was fun to say the least. The car is now mapped at 19.5 psi and I can safely say it's rapid to say the least. God only knows what BHP it's running now a…

Just swapped my old cracked bumpers for newly painted ones today. Bit of trepidation due to long and detailed idiots guides that I've read. However, it all went well. The rear took longer due to the boot being dismantled to get all the nuts. One thing - after the car was bolted back together - we found a piece of moulded polystyrene that fell out of the old front bumper - we left it out. It looked like it was shaped for a reason but couldn't work out it's usefulness so it stayed out!! Any obs?

Went onto confused.com to see how much they would quote for the Zed. How shocked was I when I scrolled down the list £99,999 - £100,044 :shock: all they had to say was "no thanks " :rant: I think I will call Adrian Flux :o

how does the automatic choke work on a TTZ and what would I have to check ro ensure it is working properly ? tried the search option and couldn´t find anything cheers Maz

Had to go from cornwall to newport to manchester to london and back to cornwall in 2 days doing site visits. had to drive like a loon to get round everyone in time. had a nite at my bother in laws last nite. Its the 1st time he's seen the new Z, naturally i took him for an educational crusie round the A roads and let him have a razz round the twisty bits around the cliffs. 0.5k from home felt the ass end waving around and pulling to the side, got a flat tyre. They are run flats so managed to limp home. tried to pump it up on the off chance that it was a pixie magic self repariing one. I could hear the air escaping from around the back of the tyre so felt around to se…

the cars in the bodyshop at the min having all the work done and the respray/rust removal - and iv noticed how horrible and minging the rear lights are, so iv removed them thinking of doing something to em, there cracked and dull and just rubbish in general was gonna change the orange light difuser to white but everyone does that and it would still be cracked and minging so iv been sat on ms paint (lol) and iv decided on this ill mask out just the red and top reverse lights and tint the rest - the cracks wont be seen as there inside the plastic

Both of my o2 sensors on my UK TT are knackerd, but i have a spare pair on my jap that im breaking. So i think change them over as the jap ones were perfect. Get my new Snapon 3/8 offset tool, a few bars, and some universal sockets. Sprayed Rust off on them last night to soak em up. 1st attempt, after 10 mins dosent want to move, start swearing at them and threatening to kill them and comments to the manufs. walk away to cool off. 2nd Now have coffee and fag on the go, they must move now as im feeling calmer.........another 10 mins, and the language is getting worse. Spray loads of rust off on them and leave for a while. Go and make and sarnie, watch some…

I'm having a real job trying to get my o/s cat off the manifold. I've removed the 3 bolts from the studs but the bugger won't come off. Tried all the usual methods i.e soaking in wd40, whacking it with a mallet and pry bars but it won't budge :headvswal The engine was out late last year so I don't think it's rust causing it. I'm wondering if the previous owner has used some sort of sealant on it that's sticking it. The n/s one came off easily. I'm reluctant to heat it, unless I have to, as I'll probably just end up setting myself on fire :mac1: Anybody have any ideas how I can get it off? cheers Dave

Parked in 'Dreams' bed store carpark, cool spoiler, standard wheels, uk rear bumper :cool:

For the first time my Zed went on the motorway today. Up until today z has been only on A roads. After staying too long on the garage, I gave the zed a good thrash... :smash: Oh boy, I didn't thought my zed could drink that fast... and I thought my bike was expensive. What a drive, my instinct tells me you are on the speed limit and when I'm about to hold the speed the Z screams "there are still unused gears" :duffer: what can I say... Just a question though, mine is only a N/A how are those TT owners coping :rolleyes:

Hi Guys I appear to be dripping a liquid from the front near side just infront of the wheel arch. It appears to be clear and doesn't smell. :cry: I haven't used the aircon and the radiator water level stays contant. I've had the front brakes done - new discs n pads, but the liquid is not around the wheel and brakes are fine. Any ideas??? I can post photos is someone tells me how to. Spencer
