I assumed these Tubs and injectors were supposed to be able to handle 24 psi. Since I'm fully run in and have done another oil change, I thought I'd start upping the boost little by little. Got up to 16 psi and had a little spike as you do to 17 psi. It was here I heard what I thought may have been a little det, so I upped agian to 16.5 and nothing (no spike) when I went to 17 psi I started hearing det on hard acceleration around 5.5 rpm. I can only assume that the chip I have is incorrectly mapped for my set up so looks like I need to get it mapped correctly. In the meantime I've put the boost back down to 15 psi. I currently have a twin pop with 1 du…

As above black standard looking zed at farnborough gate retail park today at about 2:45. Was it anyone on here

Anyone tried fitting one of these instead of an oil sandwich plate?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150258572207&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005 Would appear they go where the original sender sits and provides 3 ports to tap into including somewhere for the original sender to go back. There is also an 18in extension pipe incase there is limited room where the original sender is situated. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160250552008&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006

Hello, I have lost the ability to indicate... the hazards still work, and the stalk still allows me to change the headlights. Is there a separate fuse for this circuit? Cheers.

Im wanting to get 3 gauges up on my A-Pillar. What are the best ones to get? I don't mean make/model, I mean boost, oil pressure, water temp etc

I want three gauges in the centre console that look as OEM as possible. I'm having real difficulty sourcing the Defi "racer" gauge with white background and red needle - NOBODY seems to have them in stock - any idea where I could get hold of these or similar? The Defi BF look the best but only come in 60mm rather than the 52mm that I need. I could obviously just order them and put up with the wait but the problem is my car is parked up at the Garage now and Id rather have everything done in one go rather than taking it out and booking it in again! Any suggestions chaps?

Okidoki chaps this is probably an easy one! Car failed MOT had 2 Bent Hicas arms and worn bushes! When i had these Hicas light would pop on occasionaly usually when i 1st start up the car in the morning! Anyways got these changed and new arms + bushes!So as it should be NO Hicas Wahey! But when i go for long Motorway Journeys it comes on and stays on for the whole journey! Usually takes around 10mins of Motorway driving to come on regardless of how much Town driving iv just been doing! So im thinking ECU is noticing the difference from before and thinks its faulty, should i just reset the ECU?? (d/c battery for 30mins thats it isnt it??) Just fancy some con…

Dose anyone on here no if there is an step by step guid to take out ingine,because im thinking of doing it myself to replace the tubs but in no rush.oh rer, and putting it back? :)

Joely told me what it is called, but i have forgotten agian, can someone please tell me the special tool that you can use to untighten the oil filter, thank you :)

did you ever have one of those days before a big japfest meet at santapod where it all goes wrong?? you are expecting to get your new toys out and play on sunday and then one of your new shiny nylon stainless steel braided brakeline hoses fails!! and pisses brake fluid all over the floor. your freinds at kwikfit say it's five o'clock and we are going home, come back at ten o'clock tomorrow and we can help you finish it. Hello newly aquired girlfriend it's me, loverboy, erm, can you come and pick me up? my car is on ramps with no brakes and i am stranded. yes i will come and pick you up you loser!! oh great. So here it is - i'm not going to santapod early t…

6 pm, stuck in the Friday evening crawl into Fareham/Gosport - only caught a glimpse of your rear-end:x: as I was some way behind you, took me an hour and a half to get from Cosham to Gosport:rant:!!

see you today on the a45 near the northampton town centre junction did wave was traveling in the other direction nice looking car:nana2:

:nana2: going to santa pod tomorrow just wondering what times i should be expecting on the drag strip. my car is a standard tt has been de-cated and an auto. would i get a better time if i was against the same car but a manual.:D

Thieving scums are at it again. Had taken my gearbox off while i get the engine ready to be taken out for repair, and some thieving b******s ave stolen it from out of the garden along with a Autobox (mine is a manual) and a gearbox for a astra turbo. Cant leave anything nowadays even wen its in ya own garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!argh So if anyone hears of anybody who has recently aquired some gearboxes for a zed please post it on here, especially if its coming from someone that otherwise would ave no reason to have 2 gearboxes wen they dont even have a zed. Thankyou. davezx

Does anyone know where i can get a half decent clutch for a manual imported z32 twin turbo 2+2? im trying to find one that isnt too pricey, not bothered about it bein upgraded just want it to work lol. seen them for 300 quid n stuff but dont realy wanna fork out loads. any help more than appreciated...

Right then, the luck has struck again!!! I go and get a SatNav yesterday and get all excited. I run back to the car to plug in to get ready for my maiden voyage and guess what.........the lighter socket doesn't work. Is there any resistor or anything that goes before i start stripping the dash. (haven't a tester cus that went tits up yesterday!!!) AAAAAAAAaaRRRRRRRR:cry: Ive checked the fuse and thats ok.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an exploded diagram of the Zs dashboard. In particular I'm interested in the two pods either side of the steering wheel.

Just fitted them to my car:dance:, took a bit longer than it should off as the connecting pipes were both for the left side(Passenger):cry: I was just wondering if they are set up right, I thought that they only worked when you change gear, but they seem to do if i just take my foot off the gas at high rev's. Also when should they kick in, I dont wanna damage any thing. Is there any way of safely making them louder, like pluging one of the holes?

......between a TT idle valve and an N/A idle valve? been searching through a few old threads and found a bit that said an N/A idle valve wasn't suitable for a TT engine (and vice-versa??) alex

Z centre used to do these but they are no longer on the website. Anyone know a good UK source or will it have to be Coutesy Parts USA? Ideally I would prefer it without the red stitching - c'est possible?

I have just come accross these pictures, added to my Facebook/Zedfest Group, never seen this skyline light conversion before. :eek:

Hello mate mine is the white one
