Hi all I took a punt on ebay and bought a momo gear knob that came off an MGF it fits just fine and has the same pattern for the gearbox on the top of the knob! Result! Ron

Sold the zed today to a very nice bloke, he was here all day took the car for a few test drives, had a long talk, went through the paperwork, sorted the cash. All round good sale :hyper: Had a phone call about an hour ago, on his way home to leeds the water temp rose and steam appeared! :mad: Sounds like the heater pipes as it sounds like its from the back of the engine. Typical eh? :headvswal How bad does this look? :wack:

I had a set of wheels that used to be on my zed cluttering up the place so got them out to clean em and whack em on ebay. When my dad saw em tho he asked what i'd get for em and said he'd like em instead! So today i took his stock purple (yes i did say purple lol) wheels off and fitted these for him instead. I've gotta say WOW what a difference! I think they look good on a silver car anyway but the change from the purple ones is incredible!!! BEFORE AFTER

bought it cheap off of ebay as i needed the manual box for my conversion and it has a few other bits that i will be nicking off of it:tongue: may well be breaking it over a period of time so notify if you would like anything. it has recaro buckets in the front and ask about any other parts and i will tell you iff it has them. wheels and gearbox are taken. it took me 7 hours of driving today to get it home:(

Heading towards Notts past Goulders 11pm ish I was in my mate Laguna tho.

doh i pulled the pipe of off the sensor while cleaning the car

Found some coil-overs, they were listed as Tein monoflex. when I asked what they came with this is what was said A: Its not the new kit, it was second hand, it doesnt come with the pillow ball upper mounts, these are the lower end of the scale coilovers. they are complete except for the c spanners, however i have ordered a set, and when they arrive will be forwarded to the winning bidder. Anyone know which ones they are as they, as they aint the ones I thought they were. I thought they were the top line ones:(

since iv had the car the gear changes have been awful clunky sometimes it just wont go in and never easy occasionally it was ok like when changing really slowly but sometimes even then its clunks in, the worst is when your gunning it through the gears it will horrendously crunch thru 3rd and 4th, its done 85k km and 10k miles - also the clutch ALWAYS smells when it comes to a stop i thought id fixed it when i adjusted the clutch pedal and it kinda felt a bit better les clunky however i think iv just been lying to myself lol! what should i do? buy a new box? buy a new clutch? change the box oil? is this a common fault? cant find anything on this problem

i just wanted to know how easy it would be to take the gear box out and change the clutch myself as i dont want to pay out £300 plus if i can do it myself. im going to get a manual and the parts and there will be 3 of us doing it all with decent mechaical skills is this an easy job cheers:nana2:

am almost there with my little indicator mod, just waiting to pick up some bits from joelyp. :hyper::hyper: thought i would put them in to see what you all think. had issues with the original indicator hitting the new godspeed smic's, so i went down this road......i will paint the screws black and countersink them. al. :)

b****r! well my clutch problem are slowly getting worse. it started with a very saggy clutch pedal, which, after numerous attempts to bleed it have only slightly improved the clutch feel but not cured the problem. the other week, it started slipping in fifth gear, then 4th gear, and on my way home from work last night it has now started to slip in third gear. This couldn't have happened at a worse time as im nearly skint and need my car for transport 2 and from work (32 mile round trip). i've seen all the hype about the cheap "exedy" clutches on fleabay, but are they really that bad? my car is almost totally standard apart from a stainless exhaust, airfilter and AFC thing…

was that you park in garage in seven sisters road willingdon today? if so looks like nice car:shock:

Whose was the gunmetal grey Z32 driving through Bassingbourn this morning. Just wanted to know if you also lived round here :) Marty

I am making progress with the single turbo conversion and I am just getting a 50mm external wastegate, i don't know what spring rating to get. I have an option of several and will also run an electronic boost controller with it. Any ideas on which ones to go for? Also what is the maximum boost pressure I go up to safely with this spec engine Full rebuild by jimmer with Wiseco's Cometic H/G 740cc injectors T70 turbo

Just fitted my Navan steering wheel this morning, and it looks cool. Is Navan, Nissan aftermarket? just wondered as the main body of the wheel has Nissan stamped on it? Thanks Zedworld :)

:headvswalI have a problem where the Air con, power mirrors, wipers,cig lighter etc have no power. I have checked all fuses and have found there to be no power entering the above fuses inside the drivers compartment. Where does this power come from and how can I find its source??? Preferably without having to rip everything out to do so. If I apply a positive lead to the wipers fuse (from the front)the wipers work. I assume the same will ocur for the rest.

nowt to do wi me, but there is someone selling a fooked zed in essex, and its got a set of modenas on it :cool:

hey people, am looking to get my 300 in for the dredded mot this weekend, and the only issue i have is the front indicators. am in the process of installing led front repeaters. have posted here before about how to wire the little blighters up and got good response from fellow members with the answer being, just leave the original indicator inline. anyway, went to the shed to get the old bulb holders and...... can i find 'em!!! no!! so, has anyone in the suffolk/norfollk area got a set of front indicator bulb holders they do not need?? am looking to try and fit my repeaters tomorrow (saturday). al.

buy this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-14-Pin-Diagnostic-Interface-Tool-RS232-ConZult_W0QQitemZ250364964741QQcmdZViewItemQQptZScooters?hash=item250364964741 is the na z32 14 pin? i cant see why this wont work?

Evening, I began stripping out my Z boot trim today to replace the rear shock struts and was surprised to find an electrical actuator sat on top of each shock. Looking in the manual and comparing to my car though, I dont have the suspension adjustment control on the centre console. My question to the Z gurus is was this normal fit for a UK, manual, twin turbo ,1994 ? I cant understand how the equipment would be fitted but not the control panel? Does anyone know?

what is the second bleed nipple for by the hicas bit under the bonnet and why would i need to bleed that for the clutch? cheers
