I just don't know what to say and feel very strange, reckon I'm in shock!. Just got off the phone with Brett from Custom Exotics and my car is coming home on Wednesday night. They've finished everything (and then some) so it's time. It's 27 months tomorrow since I last drove my Z and have mixed feelings about keeping it but really hope that'll change. I'm not even sure I can get excited about it, don't want to jinx anything............................ Vijay

Well woke up this morning to get ready to do my 180 mile trip to the clients site and...... wooooot, what a nice clear morning. Got the top of and for the next 4 hours enjoyed the Zed and the open air with a steady cruise down the motorways. :dance::dance::dance:

Just found a fuel leak, want to know if theres an easier way to fix it rather then taking the plenum off. The problem pipe is the one at the front, about 3" long. Also is the other pipe meant to have a jubilee clip round it? (red circle round it)

Hello everyone hope you are all well, just a little niggle, went out like usuall, thrashed my car and the thing wouldnt change gear, so i drove it normal and no problems, the next day i went out again and under load sometimes it didnt change it just hit the rev limiter and wouldnt change till i stopped ragging it, anyway i checked the fluid level but couldnt make out if it waas the right level or not cos there was no markings on the dipstick even after going up and through the box like you should then dipping the stick after a wipe. anyway this fixed the problem it changes lovelly now but i got red oil on my cats and its smoking, only sometimes is there too much in …

It all started as i was on the way back from Simon's (fastorquer on the forums) because i needed to borrow his boost leak detector as i have boost leak somewhere. So im near home and taking it steady though a few country roads and enjoying driving the zed. All of a sudden a car comes up behind me and starts near enough tail gating me, by this point i'm so pissed off i could of got out and kicked the shit into him, so i thought f4ck it, time to put my foot down, so down goes the loud pedal. Bye bye stupid tail gator, so driving home steady again and he comes bloody back! So now im in a 40MPH zone heading towards a the ring road and i do the speed limit as im sure it was th…

Almost how I invisage a perfect Z!! (probably a few wallpapers in here too!) Something for Gaz!

This is probably going to sound stupid and pointless but here goes. Just curious, but at the Custom exotics open day I was chatting to Chris Mayo and I was telling him how I wanted to simplify my engine bay. He was telling me about what MAC has done to his car regarding a different ecu or something and that in turn you lose the coil packs, CAS, AFM, ECU the engine wiring loom. I'm not 100% sure of the details. Im guessing you only do this if your running high power and would cost a lot of money? or could someone explain a bit more about it really. I'm just curious to know what you lose and what gets replaced when doing this. Thanks, Ant

hi when i drive my Z the speedo sometimes dos not all ways work for the first 6 0r 7 miles then it starts working . also when you see a speed camera and you slow down the speedo takes it time. so i dont know how fast im going whats could be the fault. also the oil gauge only works when it likes

I like all styles of music whilst driving in the zed, but there are certain songs that definatley make me drive quicker, today, tops off and went for a country drive. Filled the lady up, tops off, thumped up the sub and amp and had some fun, the pedal was well and truly abused........ 1. ACDC - Back in black 2. Queen - Dont stop me now 3. Reel to reel - I like to move it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBnkJQWe0JQ What do you listen to in the zed, and do any make you push it some more.

gearbox still playing up:headvswal trying to cover all angles before getting another box its an auto. all the gears seem to be there but now it wont go into 3rd. after going up and down with the stick a couple of times it changes up but then if i stop or slow so it goes back into 2nd it wont change up again! any new ideas would be great thanx :rant::rant::rant::confused::confused::confused:

Can anyone tell me whether a vehicle first registered in Jan 1991 would be on a G or H plate

saw a black zed today at around 2ish in tingley fish bar in leeds. guy was sat in car park and looked like he was enjoying his lunch :). i drove past blasting horn! think the reg was daz ----?

As title......... ;)

right finally got my old laptop fired up and working long enough to run datascan on my z. now i have found that the left o2 sensor wasn't giving any readings (stuck on lean aprox 26 on datascan) now i cant tell how long its been running like that would the only symptom have been an increase in fuel consumption?? what else can a dodgy o2 sensor cause? btw swapped it with another one i had and shebang she works a treat now both sensors sweeping.

if you replace exhaust with a 'de-cat' what happens to all the small pipe work thats on the current system ? Cant see where it all goes cos there is'nt enough ground clearance to get me head under !

As it asks above^^^^^^^opions please?

Is there more than one type of rear brake caliper for the Z, just tried to fit some too my car and they are too big:(

anyone know what other cars use the same wheel fitment as the Z??
