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:!!

: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:

Hi, Im in need of some advise for achieving the best out of my setup! Im thinking with the spec of my engine now which should be finished soon hopefully:headvswal Would i need a oil catch tank? or maybe a bigger one? Also with the higher spec engines would it be advisable to add a spark aplifier to increase the spark as i think i will be running alot more boost than norm? Link to my spec is below! Thanks Dan

I am playing with the idea of house of kolor metallic satin black with a satin lacquer top coat, with the rear spoiler gone it will look like a stealth bomber, anyone done this or know of people running satin finish and can give me some tips and advice

hello all, I would like to try this on my Z: http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&itemID=6159&keyword=31158 Does anyone already tryed it before on a Z? thank you :)

Right today i have fitted my boost guage. red= live black=earth orange to a 12V light. So i have done all that. I got the live and earth from the CD player which still works and the orange wire form the switch for the rear fog light with only come live when the main lights are on. O No somthing has gone wrong. I have no side lights, no rear lights.no lights on the dash but i do on the pods. Then when i go to put the main beam on the high beam comes on with them and the revs drop massivley??? Also when i put the car into any gear the revs increase by about 200rpm ???? I have no idea as it is a manual 1 Of the fuses had blown (10amp) so could it be down…

The very front of the dashboard where it meets the windscreen has started peeling upwards. You cant see it from the drivers seat but outside the car looking in you can see a thin brown strip at the bottom of the windscreen. Anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it? cheers
