Replacing my worn out Bridgestone RE05s soon. They've lasted 3 years. Were about 1/2 worn then, so haven't done too badly. Around 7,000 miles. They are a little bit too hard for me, not too bad on a warm day, they work very well when warm, as do all tyres, but are pretty shite when cold and not good in the wet at all....even though I've only driven in the wet with it about 4 or 5 times. I am going to go up a size. Currently, the rears are 265 35 18 and I want to go to a 40 profile to match the fronts. There's enough room for a marginal increase. I find the rears look a little too stretched and too low-profile, 285 might be pushing it a little with the offset I h…

Had a new z1 gt500 fail on my fathers car shortly after fitting it.Z1 replaced it under warranty and gave $500 for the inconvenience of having to pull the engine again:eek:..Im astounded.Big thanks to Shawn and Russell at Z1.

Hi all, I'm looking to remove the rear spoiler and wiper from my Zed and am wondering if anyone has done this, have any advice to minimise cost re: filling and paint etc. Not looking to spend a fortune but interested to know if anyone has done this? Many thanks.

Just back from the MOT and told that the car does not have rear fog lights. 1994/M. I was convinced it already had working front as well as rear fogs and they have been working (inadvertently) when one of the front side lights was out. If you've modified your Zed and in Berkshire and wouldn't mind helping me out then please let me know, need to get this done asap. Many thanks.

Does anyone have the same sort of spec or know any better?? Cheers Dan

Hello, i purchased a speedo cluster which is different to what I've got. I've got a boost guage so wanted to put a speedo from a NA into a TT This is the back of mine, can someone please recognise it (year - my car is 1992 jap tt, version etc): Am I able to put a NA cluster into a TT? Seems, i have a spare NA cluster now...

kind of hard to describe the problem but here goes around the doors it seems fine, 1st gear pull as it should but as soon as it goes up the gears it looses acceleration, boost gauge reads full etc... also on the motorway once upto speed and the car is hitting 3500rpm if i back off the throttle the car returns near enough to idle. Then when i accelerate again it builds the revs back up to 3500 rpm before the car will accelerate again. i've had auto cars before and none have done this but they were yanks or jags is it fubar lol

done all the usual checks etc... dont get any overheating problems or loose any water but it just refuses to blow hot air lol any ideas?

Steve mate, I found these picture's of your car on another forum from JAE mate, thought you might like them for your Rides etc? :)

just had the car back from the local nissan garage to check all under they say that the trip meter is not accurate it looks like it has been clocked that is all they found wrong so isant to bad its got standerd clocks converted to mph, had the car 5 wks with no probs with noise, cams are fine no marks on them ,any thoughts?

Need to have the above stripped down ready for respraying as the paint is pretty shabby. As I'm in no rush thought would have a go myself. Whats the best/easiest way to do it?
