But my car's been painted!! lol Have to say I've not met nicer guys than Scott and Brett at Custom Exotics and thanks to 2 Chris's that sent me their way. I was there Saturday and really happy with the prep work they had done and the fact that they weren't happy with things so re-done them so the job would look right and didn't ask for extra money:bow: Real nice guys and for the first time I was actually excited on getting my Z back :) It's 2 years next week that I've been without my Z but after a chat with Scott today, looks like I should be getting my car back very shortly :dance: Downside is the last garage managed to get overspray all over my suspension…

Continuing with the DET issue, i was wondering could the very free flowing HKS mushroom filter cause excess air flow leading to lean fueling at higher rpm's ??

an old aquaintance has offered me his m reg 300zx non turbo for £1500. Its a dark green targa top with 90 oddk miles on it and mot till next June It appeals to me slightly due to the price and I have an urgent need for a car that will fit my 3 yr old daughter in the back and my 6 yr old son in the front. I've had GTR33's, Supra TT,s and numerous 200sx'x ( was actually going to get another) but have since been a bit shorter of cash so I now have a mk1 mx5!! It'll obviosuly be smoother and quicker than the mx5 but I was looking forward to getting a car with some sppeed in it again. do the non turbo cars match up well with the likes of 200sx's or do they…

hi what does this code mean ???

Hello all, I noticed that my heater was getting a bit cold when it should be warm the other day and had to top radiator up but dident think much of it so I went out last night parked up, got out and noticed a small trail of water, looked under the zed and noticed a water leak from driver side? There is a red breather pipe hanging down but the leak is next to it? Im hoping its not the water pump? this was replaced 5000miles ago with the full service but I asked my mate to fit a genuine one but he dident! if anyones had a similar leaks in this place any advice would be great??? Iv got very little time to sort it today my 18month daughters ill so cant do alot till she sleep…

I just came across this and thought it may be of use to people with overfuelling issues.. In this tutorial we look at the actuators and components that affect the vehicle's exhaust emissions when the electronically controlled fuel injection system is found to be overfuelling. http://www.picoauto.com/tutorials/emissions-components-actuators.html

I think the time has come to change the cambelt / timing belt on my tt Z. Im in Stoke on Trent and dont mind travelling to have this done. Anybody got anywhere in mind they can recommend, with a rough idea of cost too. Cheers fellow zedeers, Dan

i have the bi-xenons, took me 2 hours to fit as its on my GTO so i had to take out the pop lights and replace them with Dan's awesome xenons, ive had them for about two months no problems at all, and high beam comes on instantly. pic of GTO without xenons Pic of my GTO with xenons. difference against a wall there may be a group buy on another forum with Dans xenons if anyone here wants to sort one out. thanks Again Dan.

When upgrading ic's does this raise boost in any way or can you just do a straight swop without changing anything like fuel/timing etc? or will this be an instant performance gain?

Can anybody tell me if you can fit a thermostatic sandwich plate on a stainless top rad hose?.......if so any pics :dance:

Hi all, Can anyone help me please:headvswal Im having trouble fitting the tubs on my nearly complete engine. Its really pi$$ing me off and have given up with the project at the moment.

heya everyone, ive just registered as i bought a TT a few weeks ago and am so far enjoying my project. Have owned so far a tuned civic, an mr2 and a supra non turbo but this one i fell in love with the quickest. my first question (of many) is this.... my headlights are crap, ive noticed that there are lots of complaints along the same lines. had them checked by a garage today to find out why they are so dull and was told the electrics are fine and that i will need to change the actual headlight units as he thought the reflective-ness has melted away... someone suggested in another thread that they could just need cleaned out.. can i gain my light back by cleanin…

car is curently boosting at around 6psi which i gather is safety boost, im going to do a ecu check when i get a chance if that comes up clear is the next step checking for boost leaks? if so how would i go about this?
