Ok... Ive posted once or twice about this problem but had no come back so I will try to explain it in a bit more detail! When I first fire up my 91 uk tt and drive off while cold the gears go 1-2 maybe to 3rd sometimes? and not 4th but when shes hot I have to boot it hard before it will kick into 4th then it works fine driving normal but when I boot it through the gears it goes 1-2 as normal then its goes 2-4 soon as it hits 4th it kicks back into 3rd strait away then winds up through 3rd then into 4th and will do this all day long this has been going on for nearly a year. I cant get the diagnostic test to work so have no idea of fault codes??? I have done a oil chance a …

I drive a 92 N/A import. It was incredibly cold this morning and when I arrived at work, the temp guage (15 min journey) only read 1 third the way up? After an hour I had to go to the dentist and drove for another 20 minutes, only then was it at half way? Does this spell trouble? I have heard the temp gauges are crap anyway?

My zed is in for some new discs and pads and exhaust then hopefully it will pass the mot. I have never felt so anxious with any other car i have owned in the past about passing an mot, must be the zed bug. Fingers crossed :hyper:

G24 S*O . Parked in Kensington Road just before 7pm tonight , Sunday . Superb-looking car !

Hello. Would anyone know where I could get replacement heater matrix hoses (The ones at the back of the engine) for an n/a? I realise that it is possibly only from the main dealer, but I was hoping for some samco ones if they were available. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ade.

what combinations are out there. i dont have loads of £££ so i really ahve to work to a tight budget. my clutch seems like its on its way out so will need to get a shifty on if im going to keep the z on the road. cheers gaz

Half asleep last night at about 10 ish i was sat in my local McDonalds drive through getting some tea. Anywho, up behind me this low slung sports car arrived. Looking in the mirrors i thought "i know that shape..." No less than a Z31 NA 300zx had arrived behind me. I mean what are the chances!! There is a local one kicking about, but this was a different one looked really clean as well. Miserable sod didnt even come and say hello... bet if mine was a non turbo he would have ;) haha

Anyone know where I can get a set of these? mine have about 2mm of lining on them :nelson:

Can you just remove an airbag steering wheel and fit an earlier non airbag on or an aftermarket one??? :confused: I know you wont have an airbag if you do it but that is not a concern for me personally. :D

going in this direction, just removed the rear spoiler today, need to sort out the paint and a small crease where the spoiler has affected the tail, what do you think? from this to this

Just caught sight of it on Truro College rdbt...J***RTT....looked great!! Wasn't in my Zed unfortunately...still in garage after cambelt change and handbrake self locking problem :(

As per usual for a job on a z, I have greatly underestimated what's involved here I think! I need to swap the glass on the front fog/sidelight, but how the hell do I get the old one off? Do I need to take the whole unit out, and if so how? Cheers

going to do a change of oil in the gear box and diff just wondering wat oil to use ?

have a goodun :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

Need some help with this one!! as some of you may have read my "project" ZX made 502 FWHP / 440 RWHP very recently, however it made this power on relatively low boost of just 1 bar... the car has the mechanics to reach the magical 500 RWHP but is maxing out on the AFM side... The car has a Super AFC installed, it is the older type black unit with the manual dials... so my question is this... if I install a Doolz type set-up with a dummy AFM on one side will the current set-up wuth SAFC be able to adjust the fuelling to the correct levels without actually messing around with the ECU? Anyhelp on this much appreciated, Thx Lee

Just seen this link off the AXOC. Thought you guys might like a butchers. Some stunning cars there including some mint 300's. :bow: http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=2079707

Had the car running sweet new lamdas, Apexi air filter trust greddy cat backs and now using vpower. Cat overheat light was coming on occasionally when booting it before air filter and lambda's done and all was good after were fitted. Fitted a mines ecu boosts harder and higher than before but cat light comes on briefly when in midrange for a while. It sort of has an uneven spot there which could be causing the prob of overfuel. When in power mode and raggin' it ... doesn't seem to come on. V. peed off anyone else similar probs
