i don't know how much people look at the other thread when I updated some pictures (I think there was only about 4 extra views lol) so I thought I would start A new one for the new pictures, The car is pretty much done now. Needs the black front bumper putting on when it arrives (being sent today), needs the lights that Paul@SWZ is sending to go in the bumper. Then the ECU just needs to be sorted and we are completely done. (Well the log book needs sorting too). Here's the couple of pics Ive been sent

Has anyone got his number? the forum isnt working at the mo so i cant get it from there.

On the Z1 site there are ali bushes for the diff seeing as I'm not running much more power than stock would these be overkill?

I have an oil temp / pressure gauge, boost gauge and water temp gauge, do I require any other parts to be able to fit these? I already have a boost gauge in the car, is it just a matter of swapping them over? Thanks guys.

Hi all, I've got the good old code 34 after a re-build (I know, I should've replaced it whilst the engine was out, live and learn eh?) I'm just asking if anyone has a working one for sale? I think I'll re-locate it to the usual place. I'm a little short of coin at the moment, but just asking... Get a load of this, I rang nissan today, they want 237 quid and 77p, plus VAT!!!! (Sorry, this laptop I'm on doesn't seem to have a pound sign anywhere :-) I'm sure someone at that garage is on the old 'Hi Diddle Diddle' :-) Cheers all........

I know on a manual conversion the starter motor needs to be spaced out with some washers but how far?

Hi there Guys, Quick question for you all. I want to replace the standard wheels on my UK TT. What is the reccommended size to go for? Im thinking 18" but am open to suggestions. If anyone can tell me the ideal tyre size all round it would be a great help. Many thanks as usual, Rob :bow::duffer::duffer::duffer::bow:

Hi huys, I've got a 92 jap auto TT. I bought it and have done a full engine re-build, still haven't drove it, but will soon :-) :-) :-) Anyway, the turbo boost gauge isn't working, and there was an after market gauge in the car, but not connected. Also, one of the boost pipes, i think comes from the IC hasi been spliced, as if it was ready for the new gauge, it is bunged up tho. Do you think the stock one has been dis-connected from the dash? (It has got aftermaket dials on it, so I know someone has had the speedo out). Any thoughts'd be nice zedders...... Nice one... Tudor.

well im almost certainly going to moveto canada doing lots of research on it just now. however come to the most important part the car, whats peoples views on taking it over kinda feel like its part of me lol would be hard to leave it.i dont know wether taking it would be good or to start again with a new one when i get over there think this is a tougher decision then deciding i wanted to go lol

We saw a Blue zed today,going up the slip road near swansea at approx 10:30 am,

Isn't the fuel pressure supposed to be around 35psi at idle? Mine is around 45 psi at idle. Tried unplugging the fuel dampner. The idle changed a bit but the fuel pressure was still 45psi??

hi guys i have a small problem in that every now and then my zed will go down to 5 cylinders let it cool for a while and she is ok the problem is more frequent its been suggested that it is the C A S is this true or is there somethink else i need to look at many thanks guys:)

A knock sensor has one purpose...to detect knock/pinking which is caused by pre-detonation. It is self monitoring system to protect the internals of the engine. Pinking can be caused by a handful of variables such as incorrect fuel or a ignition angle that is excessively advanced. By replacing the sensor with a resistor that matches the resistance of the knock sensor will erase the fault code stored in the ECU. The engine will not run on safety boost. However, under certain conditions, the ECU will advance the ignition angle excessively, as the knock sensor circuit is effectively open loop, where there is no feedback from the sensor as it has been replaced with a resistor…
