Hi, I need some new or good second hand Lambda Sensors, where is the best place to get some? Cheers

No, this isn't a joke thread. Few things have happened lately which has made me take another look at my life (not money related). I've completely lost interest in cars including my Z. Sufice to say that I am very seriously thinking about putting it up for sale. I never thought I'd say it. I dunno whether I'm making a good decision or a bad one. Yes, I do know all the 'you'll regret it mate' things. But I just really have zero interest in it anymore.

nothing to do with me but Mmmm, lovely wheels :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Skyline-GTR-Advan-Sienna-Gen-II-Wheels_W0QQitemZ280312406530QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET?hash=item280312406530&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Got the PAS ECU plug a few days ago. Cheers for the freebie!! Looks like the HICAS ECU has a bit of a hissy fit when it can't see the engine one. Going to convert to an NA unit instead.

I 'think' it was Snoopy. Although can't be sure. Noticed a smooth nose panel.

Saw you driving through Temple Bar mid afternoon yesterday. Had Skyline GTS wheels on it.

mines fooked, are they garunteed? my o/s looks like this when you look down it any clues? failing that where do i get a new'un from?

Bought my car :cry: it goes tonight once they give me the cash..... Onwards and upwards i suppose, got the VX for the mud and will look at another bike / trike(disabled!) for the summer

Hi all, Im looking at getting some new wheels for my Zed to go with the new paint Job but havent got much idea about fittings etc... So my questions are: 1. If i put 18' wheels on will i have to lower the car? 2. What's the max width i can go? 3. Are there any recommended wheel sites to give me some idea of prices. Cheers all;)

As above- can't see the problem though- rad isn't hot- if it's blocked would I still lose coolant? Any suggestions welcome.

Long story short, my Z has a oil leak at the front of the engine. I pulled the front off, and the leak was coming from the behind the right hand intake (VTC) cam sprocket. I automatically assumed it was the cam seal, so I removed all the cam sprockets, and replaced the seals (I also replaced a lot of other things while I had access). Since then, I have re-installed everything, only to discover it is still leaking! I've ruled out the cam cover, as it was clean around that area. The sprockets haven't been off in the 6 years I've owned the Z, so it won't be cam shaft damage. Sorry, this isn't really that short a story! Question is, how common is it for the sproc…

I have a couple of issues. In attempting to resolve prop vibration I have encountered rusty bolts probably fitted in japan to replace original studs on the back of the catalitic converter flanges, which couple to the after market stainless exhausts. I have managed to remove two of the original nuts from the studs, but the other two have been replaced with these bolts which have now sheared. What is the best way to remove these? One has sheared flush with the CAT flange, the other about 1/4" above. Do I grind flush and try to drill them out? There is not much room behind the flange to grip the end of the thread?? Also I intend to replace the centre bearing. I have an app…

hi does anybody have an idea on how much a new cluth for a 1990 N/A auto would cost? think mine may be dying thanx mark:confused::confused::confused:

.. with low light levels or you think its a custom colour? my zed doesnt look this nice at night :tongue: and it looks too reddy red redness to be the cherry red? either way.. even for a non red fan, it floats my boat!

I was woken at 2:00am this morning by the sound of someone beeping a car horn on and off non stop. Look out my bedroom window and its coming from my Z:mac1:took me 10 mins to disconnect the battery and woke the whole street up :slap:. It wasn't a continuous BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP it was more like beeep beeeeeep beep beeeeeeeeep beeep beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep on and off like someone was sitting in it!!!! The car is either haunted or there's something else wrong with it!! Could it be the horn relay???( I disconnected the centre steering wheel cover so I know its nothing to do with that) Any advice please...... or do I call "Ghostbusters":duffer:

Some pics of todays meet: Some of the pic's of the 2 Zeds there

Hello all Just bought my first zed and love it!!! its a uk model 1994 twin turbo automatic i absolutely love the car but i used to own a 200sx which had 260bhp and to be honest that felt alot faster i was wandering if that would seem normal my old car being faster, i dont believe the car has been serviced in a while would this help that much??

Been having a think about turbo access recently, and has anyone considered installing access panels in the inner arches, so if you need access to that area, the engine doesn need dropped out :smash: If i had a decent enough space to work in, i would give this a go. Just curious if anyone has thought about/ tried this before ?

saw a silver zed going south on the M40 30 miles from the M25 just before oxford services. i was in the inside lane in a blue c5 towing a silver zed on a trailer. (you were in the outside lane)

im sure most of you already know this car as petes21st and UNO and john-e-retro have all owned it. my son was looking for a project zed so he bought this zed today with his own money. (he is only 14). he is very interested in zeds and knows much more about them than me. (most of the mechanical advice on the forums from me is actually my son:rofl:)
