Where is the best place to get a complete new set of discs and pads for my 1993 UK TT? I would like some slotted/drilled ones but dont want to spend loads of money on them, would settle for stock ones though if needs be, where do you guys recommend quality products for a good price? cheers, Dan

Right, typical im due to set of in 9 hours to head south for jap fest, thought i would make a weekend of it. So i went to fuel the Zed and on leaving the drive i heard a bit of a creak. Nothing too unusual and it did do it once or twice the other day. Now i thought at the time and at first it was one of the targas moving a bit so i pulled over after a mile or so and refitted them. However the creak didnt go away so i went into town, filled her up and pulled out of the petrol station and thought i better investigate so i headed home and pulled up into the front of the garage to have a look. I cant see anything amis but when ever the left hand side spring is …

Hi all, Im looking at these greddy front mounts they seem to come in various specs What is the advantages in the number of cores or rows? Is a row the same as a core? 2row http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_22&products_id=829&osCsid=3e46e201069861f54a05d0bd376ccba6 3row http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_22&products_id=830&osCsid=3e46e201069861f54a05d0bd376ccba6 single core http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/Trust-Greddy-Spec-R-HG-FMIC-Intercooler-Kit-Z32-Fairlady-Z-300ZX-Large-Single-Core-50781 twin core http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/Trust-Greddy-Spec-R-Intercooler-Kit-Z32-Fairlady-Z-3…

There were some posts a while back which included pictures of the TT engine with annotations as to the parts, etc....does anyone know where they are?? I've tried searching but no luck so far! Thanks...

got this water leak which drips away for few minutes after the engine is turned off sometimes and tracked it down to a little black rubber pipe about 2" long which sticks out from passenger side just under battery tray! WHAT IS IT?:confused: dan.

hi i've recently bought a 89 n/a auto haven't driven it much as waiting for a log book to tax, but when i select either forward or reverse it seems to take the box a little longer than expected to pick up the gear, then it seems to select it roughly i.e. it seems to snatch at the gear. i've checked the fluid its spot on and bright red with no smell of burning. any help would be appreciated would i be better just gettin another box?????

just been watching the drag racing on five US winner did a 328.70mph what a ride that must be!:eek: dan.:D

How hard is this to do with the engine in? I know the sump has some tricky bolts to undo but is there anything else? The oil pressure is to low, I think the cause is bearings but thought I would try this as a long shot. (I know it's not the sender as is has been changed and have an aftermarket gauge)

Well I'm hoping this is a teething problem rather than the worst case senario. As you know I'm currently running the car in after an upgraded engine build. I drove the car for about 2 - 3 miles at low speed probably 40 mph max when I noticed the car was starting to overheat (i.e. 3/4 on the temp gauge). So I pulled into Tesco car park to investigate. I suspected an air lock as the fan was still running. I put the heater on max and it was coming out very hot so I left it on to take some heat out of the engine. I monitored the temp gauge and it started to drop a little so I thought it would be ok to turn the engine off and let it cool before checking the water lev…

Insurance last year was a pain in the butt. First time owner of a performance car. Ended up going with C.N. with a really good policy, fairly pleased back then. Cue this morning I get the renewal letter - I was hoping a little bit of discount as i'd now have 3yrs no claims, so just pay em and it's sorted for another year. But NO! They no longer use Royal Sun Alliance as an underwriter so the next best they can offer me comes out at £1558. That's £532 more than last year. Excess shoots from £100 to £350, no breakdown cover or Europe cover. Phoned em up and they can take the £58 off. What a bum deal. So the hunt is on now to burn a hole in my wallet somewher…

just removed my fan to retrieve a dropped bolt that wedged itself behind a pulley for fvck sake :rant: I removed the fan, but didn't note it's position.. Do the fans have to line up to a mark or similar, or just bolt back on ? Thanks..

Just ordered a set...should be here for Japfest! I know a few people on here rate them, but just wondering who's got them. Do the contours fit exactly? Is the quality top-notch? I ordered black with grey outters and a heel plate on the driver's side.

anyone got any info on these coilovers i may be interested in some and would like some info cheers in advance Allan

Just been thinking that next year will mark 20 years since the Z32 went on sale :bow: Does anyone know the exact date they were released here or in Japan? Are we going to have an event to celebrate? :duffer:

Hi guys, following my problems yesterday which I attributed to a knakd starter it appears my problem is actually a hydro (hydra? - surely hydro would be water? - never mind!) lock in one cylinder. The general view seems to be either a stuck open injector or more likely a pinched lower injector o-ring. I have recently upgraded the injectors so I guess the O-ring would be the place to start. Any observations or other possibilities? Cheers RobH

Does anyone know of a decent, reliable, reasonably priced mechanic in the South east area? I need Cam Belt kit fitted.

Hey all Car just been on the dyno for mapping first time after the build. The guys at the garage said that its running 370 at 0.7 bar. Is that any good? Its my first Zed so Im still pretty naive when it comes to numbers. Cheers

Im asking you fellow zedders if you know how easy it is to take the interior panels off the inside of the targa tops. Mine have got water damaged from having the car sitting in the rain for a year. Its the small panel on the top itself. The one with the catch on. Just that its bugging me because the material on them have shrunk and bubbled. cheers:bow:

I know they have a few fans on the forum, but the SS lip alway gets scuffed and traditional alloy wheel refurbers are not interested!!! Have dug out someone who refurbs these and for £30 a wheel, he also does traditional alloys as well and is based in Bexhill on Sea. Surface Solutions 01424 893 330
