My passenger side manifold appears to be blowing? So had a quick look, and it looks a nightmare to tighten back up?? Can anyone tell me which is the quickest and easiest way to tighten them up?, What size nuts they are? and how many of the nuts??? hopefully will get it done before it gets dark!!

Saw you driving out along the Portbury Hundreds. I saw you and flashed my lights.

Does anyone know if there is any advantage/disadvantage to fitting a 1994 UK Auto TT ECU into my 1990 UK Manual TT?.. I know the auto/manual issue is compatable, I'm thinking more about the year difference? I will be having it socketed and re-chipped aswell. Thanks :)

Me again. Just took the car to the body shop and on arrival it was leaking coolant from under the near side wing from what I presume is the overflow pipe on the rad cap? The engine wasn't over heating and both the fans were purring away. Do you think this could be due to the fact that the air con hasnt been working for ages and because I had it on all the way (about 20 minute run) now working properly? Or could it be anything more sinister? No signs of any back presure or anything like that in fact there dosent seem to be anything amiss at all just this water leaking out. cheers vini

My z32 tt has just developed a ticking noise, i cant really pin point where its coming from and its quite loud it get louder as the revs get higher. I know it could be a few different things but has anyone had a simular problem or know what is could be any help would be great.

Guy's your thread has been moved to storage, please keep, your feud off of the forum. Thanks in Advance.

Need to change the PAS pot as mine rusted and generally looks in poor condition, when i change it do I have to worry about air ingress into the system, and if so whats the method to bleed the air???

has anyone fitted this ecu to there zed? I know its popular with the eyeliners. Ive been advised that this systen is the best for the money and a guality piece of kit after visiting tdi (torque developments) i know it hasnt got some of the fancy extras like launch control etc but i dont want any of that. What are you views peeps cheers

if you remove the Hot & Cold intercooler pipes, id imagine you can see the Plastic/rubber intake pipe (the one that goes from the Air filter to the turbo) aka elephant trunk fancy replacing with metal pipe, improves the sound when you have air filter & no dv. pigeon noise. think itd be a bit difficult to get metal ones at the front T piece, ont the air filter. so just be replacing the pipe from turbo to filter T piece. anyone done? quite popular on Silvia/200

Does anyone happen to know which pin on the ecu is the one for the centre wire on the nearside o2 sensor? Im not getting a signal from that wire and i wanna loop a temporary wire from the ecu to the o2. Or if anyone knows a link or sire with info thanks.

Thank bud for coming out so late and sorting my spoiler light :) Now my car has the spoiler light linked up and my gauges are in place!! I will upload some photos in a second :D

Anyone else find this oddly attractive?

I just stripped out my headlight inserts for the second time. The first time a couple of years ago in a group chrome thing, but like a fool I more than likely didnt seal the glass back in with stuff that was up to the job. Now my question is, is there anyone out there who had this done and their inserts are still fine. If there is, can you pleaswe tell me what you used, because I don't fancy doing this for a third time... Cheers :cry: (p.s.. edited your thread - was all in caps ;) Athene )

Just updated my ride profile, what do you think? Still have a few pics to upload at some point and need some with a nice background.:dance:

I know this may be a silly question but was looking to see how other people have done it and what may the best way. I have a Defi BF Guage, the front dont screw off or anything like that so i was wondering how you actually attach the guage to a pod. So far i've worked out you make a 60mm hole slide the guage in but then what? The gauge will be sitting at a 90degree so how do you get it to stay in there? there is very little surface area which makes contact with the backing material and glueing may look messy and damage the guage if i ever needed to remove it. This is where you say, well all you do is..... ;)

been on my mind now for sometime, i hardly use the car these days and was thinking of selling it and maybe getting a bike ( need to take test lol )

What is the best tyre size for these, as ive just got a set, centres have been refurbed, and the rims are at the polishers. 18" Gewalt split rims, they have 225/35/18 on the front but nothing on the rears Does 255 or 265/35/18 sound okay for the rears. Dont want to have to need to have the rear arches rolled.
