Anyone know where I can get a hold of a pin like the ones in the picture? And what they are called?

Ok i finally hooked up my conZult program to my car to test the A/T for error codes and this is what came up http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k276/DJ_Party_Favor/ATErrorCode.jpg Now i have just replaced my TPS unit with a brand new one so im guessing their might be a short somewhere in the harness. i set the new TPS to .45 a few days ago without conzult but used a multimeter to set it to .45 volts and today conzult is coming up as .46 in engine mode section but on the A/T mode it says .50 is this normal??? All cylinders came up green. and no error codes in the ECU. So what do you guys think?

I've been looking for an old-skool steering wheel for my Z. Namely the Momo Daytona, but also by another manufacturer called Italvolanti. I missed out by £1 on an Italvolanti 'Line' steering wheel that recently went out on ebay. Just wondering, does anyone know where I can buy brand new versions of these? The feeling is that I have is that Italvolanti don't exist anymore. Basically, it's the leather version of the top wheel.... Here's another pic....

Hi all, have i missed anything ? I sold the gorgous 'HARVE' 'Zanussi twin tub' a couple of months ago to a mate, I cant bear her seen to be drived not driven, if you know what mean & i see her on a weekly basis. I want another....... SMW! Steve, yours is superb, (always was) but out of my keeerching, anyone recomend a good car to a experienced Z owner ? PS ideally a uk manual......25k on the clock, 1 owner, panther black, full leather & toys, 20" wheels, & more bling than 'BG vince' :bow::hyper: Yourz 'harve'

Since i bought the car about a year ago the drivers side window has always leaked when subject to heavy rainfall/hosepipe. The seals look fine to me, and when i push the window in slightly there is no leakage, so can you adjust the window to rise at a slightly diffrent angle so it pushes agains the seals better and if so how?? ps nowhere else on the car leaks and water only leaks through at a certain point on the window, ive attached a pic cheers

Since writing off my zed a couple of weeks back in a 50mph spin into crash barriers, i'm a little bit nervous of getting another one :(. I don't want to spend all that money and time only to crash it again! I'd of been fine with it if I had overcooked the throttle and lost control, but I didn't the car just spun out while on mild throttle (and black ice!!). So, I was looking at the Racelogic Traction control systems. Do these make the zed a bit easier to live with? And are they as good as they say they are? I'm not thinking that this would have stopped me crashing but at the moment I wouldn't feel safe driving one unless it's completely dry. All opinions welc…

Am i right in saying that the NA horsepower around 225 bhp, mine has a mongoose exhaust and induction kit, what horsepower would u say that would add?

With the recent cold weather I went out to open my Zed turned the key, heard a click and something fall to the inside of the door and now can do a fill 360 with the key in the lock.... it is super safe though as I can't get into the fkr now :-) Question: Where can I get a new lock, or get this one repaired? and what is the likely damage? I'm in South Wales. Old cars....don't you just love the excitment of not knowing what's going to go wrong next.... :rofl::rofl:

In addition to fitting my oil pressure gauge, I'm also trying to fit a water temp one. The sensor for this gauge is also 1/8 NPT, which definitely won't fit in the stock location. I'm thinking about drilling and tapping a 1/8NPT thread into a suitable location on my top water pipe to fit the sensor (when I can find the right bloody tap...). Will this work, or will I not get a good seal without getting a boss welded on first?

Argh! I'm about to fit an Option oil pressure gauge but I can't find any definitive answers on whether the sender that comes with it will fit in the stock location. I've done a search and found Jimmy's post, but I don't know if he was trying to use the stock location or not - were ya Jimmy? My existing stock sender is about knackered, so I don't mind getting rid of it and just using my new gauge, but I want to make sure it'll go in or I can get the right bits ordered before I have my brand new oil coating my drive... The sender it comes with has a 1/8 NPT thread - will this go in or will I need an adapter? I tried the site suggested by Z32 (gaugeplace.co.u…

Yes its happened. As you can imagine I am rather pissed off. Monday afternoon my mate saw a silver BMW reversing up the access road to the back of our houses (no through road) with 2 eastern euopeans in it he confronted them and asked what they wanted. They replied "we want to buy a car from here" He told them that there were no cars for sale and they went. At 23.15 I left for work and as I passed my mates Soarer I noticed that the passenger door had been forced open at the handle and it was ajar. I knocked he's door and we discovered that the car had been broken into. I promptly went back around the rear of the houses to inspect my cars. The skyline and others we…

Anybody ever seen a JDM ECU that is not one for a stock car? I want ECU for 555's and hybrid turbos, Stillen intercoolers, induction kit and exhaust

Hi Guys and Gals, As the title says .........I fitted my new Koyo radiator bracket (from the Z Centre) tonight. A couple of issues that I'm sure you'll help me with : Firstly - using a standard bonnet prop clip in the slot furthest away from the rad cap secures the bonnet stay but not too well and the bonnet prop rests on the radiator cap ........any advice? Secondly - I still have the original viscous fan, cowl, etc... and had to detach the fan cowl from the radiator lip in order to get the bracket to fit correctly. Is that ok in these circumstances? All being well, I should have attached before and after photos. Thanks in advance - And…
