After being in the garage for the last 2 months ive finally got the z back. all seemed fine and everything was good until about an hour ago when there was suddenly no boost, the guage still goes up to +7 but the turbos are much louder and theres no boost at all. just alot of noise. any ideas? cheers.

I bought this new front bumper today, rather than the Veilside c2 that I had previously considered. It is the Veilside EC1, which I think should suit my wide arch better :)

When this is replaced, does it need any sort of sealant on before screwing in? Cheers in advance. :confused:

On the rear window runner, the one that you can see when you wind the window down on the pillar, there's a small pin that goes through the glass, at end of that is a ball type joint I believe. In the runner is a slider with a socket on the end of this I think. Has anyone ever replaced these? Over time, they wear a little bit leaving the window to rattle ever so slightly. Mine's not too bad, but want to replace it anyway since I've got my doors in pieces. Just wondering what's the best way to do this? Take the trim off the outer part of the pillar and do it through there or actually take the runner out from inside the door? Any help would be great. If anyone…

Just recieved my 555's in the post but they are still in the fuel rail so how do i take them out without damaging them? I wanna send them to get cleaned and tested but without the fuel rail?

I'm trying to get my catts off, which i've done and removed the battery to get the passenger side elbow off, but i cant seem to get the top two bolts off on the drivers side. anyone got any advice or tips?:confused:

It is going to be quite expensive to post from Australia so i need to know when it arrives here who would be able to copy it any suggestions. After it has been copied i will be poss selling them or selling to one of our traders just to get my money back. Any suggestions welcome and if you are interested please post up. thanks

Hello All, Story of my life.....I went last night to pick up my new 91 n/a manwel and half way home (of a 30 mins drive) i lost all power and died on the motorway. Managed to get it off and found that the fan belt had come off, with no tools i called my breakdown cover and they come out.....jacked the car up put the belt back on and adjusted everything. started her up and the waterpump (breakdown guy said it was the pump) caused it to have a flapping type sound and said thats why the belt come off and i lost power and that whoever fitted the belts (as all have not long been done) knew the pump was gone and didnt do the belt up that tight....... Question is that …

I Know this is a really silly request, but I have an MOT on Tuesday and the tyres I have ordered still haven't been despatched.:cry: Even though they should have been delivered yesterday. And can't get hold of anyone at there office, only the answerphone.:rant: SO I really need to borrow two road legal wheels of a VERY kind z owner that lives near-by (if there are any?):D

as im trying to decide on a final colour of Red for my widebodied Z ?? (which is in the panel shop Now being done !) and i have to make a decision in the next week or so . So if any1 has any pics of some different colours of the red on some zeds would help me make that awkward decision ? [/img] [/img]

da li netko na ovom forumu razumije hrvatski (bosanski) jezik??:bow:

I wonder if this has happenned to anyone else: I went to a local shop pressed the key fob on my toad Ai606 to lock and alarm, I then came out of the shop, pressed the button to unlock and nothing... The light on the fob came on everytime i pressed the button but nada.. stood in the freezing cold wondering WTF, walked around the car, pressing and pressing. 10mins later i pressed the button again and it opened, what a relief. When i got home and parked it on the drive, i tried it again and it locked and unlocked everytime i pressed the button, it is as though someone had some sort of blocker or some sort of toy to piss people off with car alarms... As i s…

I just went out to go pick up the missus from the station and the Zed won't start. I last drove it almost 2weeks ago and it drove fine (apart from slightly erratic idle which sometimes causes the engine to stall on hard breaking). This time on turning the key, the dash lights up but then...nothing. Not even turning over. My initial thoughts are that it might be ignition related as all the lights/alarm/dash seems to be working normally so I wouldn't think it was a flat batt? After resetting the immobiliser and trying a few more times I gave up and got out but when I set the alarm, instead of arming (with two hazard flashes), it flashes once and the lights stay on…

Can any body tell me the BHP limts on a standard Z32 manual gearbox. Also what upgrades are there for them. Cheers Stu

Ok as you might know.... i have had a few troubles with the zed recently.... well... its starts up fine now.... good news... bad new the revs are ALL over the place... doesn't idle proper and the revs are up n down and cuts out... I was driving it and it just cut out!!! died on me...! but luckily i wasn't going fast and there were no cars around.... parked up safely.... Noe it does start but the revs just jump up and down... and the accelerator pedal just doesn't seem to control the revs? it has a mind of its own? revs really low then finally cuts out... doesn't drive? Looking for some advice because now the car is MILES from my home par…

Is there a guide to getting a passenger window in, ive got it on the runner (just) and now it stuck and i cant push it down.

finally made up my mind and the zed has gone i didnt have the time or the cash to get it sorted and the decision really was made when i took it out for a drive and the engine was making a wierd noise so i returned home to find most of the engine oil was on the garage floor , i was advised by my mechanic brother in law it needed a new engine so i traded it in as soon as i could i was really heartbroken to see it go but the place that took it in is going to fix it ( so he says ) im sure theres a moral somewhere about spending your money on the mechanics rather than what the car looks like but im damned if i can find it lol anyway im still gonna be around as ive g…

OK this does not happen all the time,but mainly when the car has been sitting for a wee while. 1.When i turn her over revs shoot up to about 1700 and bounce up and down between this and 700. 2.When i put her in gear revs drop below 400 and she cuts out,but if i leave her running for a few mins 8/10 times does not cut out,but revs still bounceing. 3.But i have notice that when i turn her over,i hear crackerling behind my dash,and this crackerling is in time with the revs bounceing,and if there is no niose 9/10 the revs are normal. :confused: :( The car is a 92 import N/A

Here you go :)
