Can anyone tell me where there is a 'how to' to do this? There is a link in the FAQ section but don't work, I was reading one just the other day, but can't find it for the life of me! Cheers...

saw it this morning at about half eight:dance:

In my old uk spec zed the seat position always seemed to be lower than my jspec :wack: :confused: always had plenty of head room and could easily see the dash through the steering wheel... in the jspec my head seems v close and the steering wheel seems too low! is this just because the foam was flattened by some bloater who had eaten too many subway meatball marinaras or are our western friends seat mounts boosted up slightly to help with height issues!? 'the ergonomics of culture'

Hi Guys:dance: My 91 auto TT is driving absolutely perfectly except........ at speeds of over 65mph when the revs are at 2500rpm there is a rumble from what sounds like the rear of the car. If I raise the revs to 3000rpm it disappears, as it does when you drop to 2000rpm. Around town and at low speeds it is perfect but if I stay at 70mph, either manually or in cruise control the car drives at 2500rpm hence the problem. It is quite a worrying noise and will stay there continuously until the revs move 500rpm in either direction. I hope someone can shed some light on this one:)

Just got my car back from the garage and have a warning light lit up on the dash. It's the one with the windscreen and wiper down the middle and lights up yellow. Anyone know what this means? Something as simple as fluid??

:cry:

Hi guys, newbie here after a bit of advice. Just brought my z on sunday. it feels really boaty and sloppy at the back end. just went through an m.o.t and only failed on a steering rack gaitor. im wandering if it could be the shocks as it does float around and doesn't install a lot of confidence in driving. any thoughts or suggestions? any idea how much a new set of shocks are (think the rear ones are the worst)? thanks in advance guys Lee

Just got mine delivered today, the red ones different to the black one, one of groves that runs down the center of the keys is in a fifferent place. Is this because the red one wont do the glove box? I thought the blanks are meant to be the same untill you get them cut??

Had a search, but can find much on this, what's the best way of torquing up the Z? would I be best off running standard tubs as I wont have any more lag? And just change the Diff for an NA one? any thing else that I could do??

Saw you this morning 5.15 near ripple road :p

Hiya Want to look at some zeds in the coming weeks. Just a few things I cant get my head around. Is buying a fresh import a gamble more so than buying one thats been imported for a few years? I like the idea of a car residing in the uk for at least a few years and getting some service history under its belt. If I turn up at a dealer is it resonable to expect them to have done compression tests etc or no? When refering to the 'fairlady' is that a spec level, like ford Ghia? Is there anyone with conzult on a lappy who would be willing to go around the midlands, or in fact anywhere in the country, and look at a couple of cars. would pay for time and …

This bloody climate is pants, no one has any money. i had my car up for 6k a few months ago, now thinking of putting it up for about 4k I'm gonna be about 10k down on what i have spent on it in the last 3 years but hey was always gonna happen. Just sucks cause they all seem to being crashed or sold for fookall :mad: Stupid bills Grrrrrrrr!

can any one in the sussex area recomend a body shop as i f..ked my paint up:slap:

How come the throttle cover says 'Twin Cam 24 Valve' when it's a quad cam??? Just noticed this today, haha...

Can anybody tell me what revs the gear changes happen, and maybe how many revs till it bites, and any other info to do with gear changes on an auto, during normal driving? (i.e. not flooring it, just driving about) I'm not sure if mine is right or not, it seems sometimes if I have it about 3000 rpm an 2nd, it just seems to rev and not get any faster at all, if i back off the throttle and then start again but a little more aggressive, it drives proper... Fluid level is correct... Does anyone have a TT auto near Bolton who fancies taking me out for a spin, as I have nothing to compare it to, never driven or been in one before! :-)

Just got a few more pictures today:dance::dance::dance: [/img] :nana2::bow::bow:

Car works great bud, nice and strong again. Ill be back soon for the other work suggested. Thanks again Pete

Picked up my perspex strip today. Once i got it home opened it all up, and it looks as if it has the brake light in it, but i hav e no bulbs or wiring etc. What i was thinking is........does the strip without the brake light come with a reflector as to where the light would be as this is what it looks like it could be. cheers

I know this isn't the right place to put this, but I really need one ASAP, and maybe not everyone looks in the Items wanted section! So here goes... :bow: I'm after just the right hand side top pipe, from the IC to the throttle body intake. My other three are mint, but for some reason this one has fell apart, on the underneath, and I sneakily predict it is the cause of my strange idle problem and the cutting out etc. I know the best route is get a set of nice new shiny chrome ones, but coinage is a bit of an issue at the moment! Have a rummage about folks, someone'll have one lying around!
