I wonder if anyone is good enough to email me a copy of the conzult extensive manual please, as dont seem to be able to get it anywhere ?

just been reading the 1995 service manual , it says when you pull on the drivers door handle the door lock lights up for 7 seconds. well mine doesn't :( does anyone have this feature?

I'm installing 3 gauges and was intending on taking power from the clock/stereo. However these go live when the ignition is at ACC meaning if I was listening to the stereo with the engine off the gauges would be on. Not a problem you may think but as the are peak warning gauges they start alarming as I have no oil pressure. My question is - where can I simply splice into that is live only when the ignition is turned to the ON postion?

I have a jap import which had a KPH clock in it, I changed it for a MPH clock and I was told that this simple change would mean I wouldnt have to get a de-restricting thingy for the capped top speed. But funny things have happend...the rev counter seams to give an average reading and doesnt increase and decrease when you rev the engine, Ive mentioned in another thread that my overdrive stopped working the engine note changed immediately as it would but it took a good 3 minutes for the rev counter to go from 2000 to 3000 revs. and the damn thing is still restricted! the car will accelerate smoothly and rapidly but when it gets to about 96mph the engine cuts out untill your…

Was out on the Mway yesterday doing about 70mph when the revs suddenly shot up, it turned out the overdrive had stopped working. I carried on to my destination, came off the Mway and pulled into a supermarket car park to get fags, I was trying to manouver to park and put the shifter in reverse...the car didnt move so I give quite a lot of extra gas and the car juddered backwards (the best way to explain this is it felt and sounded like the exhaust had fell off and was digging into the road stopping proper movement. I then set off and as the box changed up through the gears 1st and 2nd had the same sound as if youve worn your brake pads away and are running metal on metal.…

Hey guys and girls I have noticed that when I brake the car will pull to the left momenatrily. When I take my foot off it will pull to the right momentarily. I thought it might be related to road camber but it seems to be consistent what ever the surface. All rose jointed suspension units, K sport coilover with 8's and 6's, 8pots at the front with 350mm disks. Cheers all

Hi there guys/girls. Seen this thread with an awesome looking 300 and feel that I need to buy the front bumper. Haven't been able to find the manufacturer but the thread says its in Peru. Zcenter do a similar one, called the Cobra but it has extra lumps on the front, I like the simplicity of this one. If anyone has any ideas where I can buy one would be rather handy. Many thanks as usual. :dance::dance::duffer::duffer::duffer::dance::dance: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=498918

Hi Guys n' Gals, Now, I only bought the Zed last weekend and today was only the second real chance to look around it in the daylight. Front tyres are Goodyear Eagle F1s - 245/40ZR18 Rear tyres are Goodyear Eagle F1s - 275/35ZR18 Is that combination ok for the car? There's no problem, it drives fine, I just want to ensure that I'm running with the correct size tyre and wheels. Having said that, I did notice a rubbing noise from the front when using hard lock to reverse into my drive today :confused: Advice would be most welcome - Thank you.

having looked for idler pulleys for my z each website states idler no1 or no 2 i need the one on the top between cam shaft pulleys is this no 1 or 2 sorry if this seems bit daft but i need to make sure i buy the right one:headvswal

My LIGHTS warning lamp keeps illuminating on my dashboard, even when the headlights aren't switched on, and I don't know why :headvswal I have noticed the headlamps seem to be getting poorer in strength (not that they were very good when I bought the car). At the moment, all I can think that needs doing, is to boost the battery's charge, or get the alternator checked out. Any ideas?

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Does anyone have and Hard turbo intake pipes for sale? It finally time to replace my crappy OEM ones! Thanks very much.

having found that my top tensioner pulley for the cambelt is becoming noisy, i am looking for a new part where is the best place to buy from and how much should i expect to pay...:)

Leon's been working on it while I'm stuck in Norfolk working. Superb job again, you can see why it's worth the trip to Wrexham. Should sound a bit mad with the bypass open!

.... who drives (or drove) a blue (maybe bayside blue) Z32. Ferrari type rear lights and Veilside rear bumper, think it has the veilside exhaust too. It's most distinguishable feature however, is the rather nice M30Z (Tommy Kaira) rear spoiler. I can't for the life of me remember the user's name. I've searched through the member database and can't remember the name nor find any photos of the car. Can anyone help?

A hugh thanks to JeffTT and JamieTT at Zedworld:bow:, Very professional, Would highly recommend ....... Plugged me in to his Conzult adjusted a few things changed a few bits... And My Z is purring like a kitten, its never run so nice, Well pleased ..... thanks again Jeff:bow::bow:

Hi all Tonight as soon as I set off from work I noticed a creaking type noise as I went over a bump or pot hole etc, when on the main rd and doing 30 the noise became more frequent and could basical’y pin point it to my side of the dash (sounds like it's coming from the right and side of clocks inside dash) and sounds like plastic rubbing against plastic strange thing is it's never done it before and I’ve never messed with the dash? the noise increases and decreases with speed and is really annoying:headvswal just wanted any thought's or similar probs? (i'd rather not have to strip to find the prob but have a feeling i may have 2!) Thanks chris:…

evening all, im in need of some help regarding cold start. What i need to know is what components on the z could the very cold weather possibly condensation/damp get to that would prevent it from starting under these conditions.

hi guy and gals ive got a pair of stainless steel manifold for my n/a can they be changed in situ or does it require engine removal many thanks.

Driving home from London today, get onto a nice empty dual carriageway when a Black TVR Cerbera pulls along side the zed, and gives it some rev's, so not wanting to just let it lie, the zed turns into a wild animal, WOW the TVR was quicker, but i wasnt far behind, they can go some, after a bit of playing and cooling the breaks down we arrive at some lights, the guy says to me with a huge smile " when i saw your zed, i thought, he will definatley have a go, im so glad you did, ive always loved zeds, good on yer mate, " We both went seperate ways grinning. LOVE THESE CARS!!!!!!!!!!:bow::bow:

ive just fitted new reclining buckets in my zed, ive utilized the original frames as best as possible but had to use brackets to get over problems with the base of the seats now they seem a little bit to high and my head is level with the rear view mirror. any fitted new seats who can give me any pointers?
