I've been jigging this around in my head for a while and i'm interested to see what other z owners think. I craved the 99spec look for years before i could afford it, but now i'm going through some sort of crisis. OK, rear spoiler is definitely an improvement on the spongey original and even the 94 replacement but i think the first z's out of the factory didn't have any at all. but the front, that's not so simple. pics won't really show this, anyone who's stood in front of a 99 spec and original front bumper parked side by side may agree. The 99 spec looks a little bit..i don't want to use the wrong word here...friendly? The original with the slatted turbo inta…

As some of you might had read over ther past 2weeks my Zed's been a bit poorly :nelson: and not running (at all!). Anyways, a huge thanks to many of you on here who have helped diagnose problems :confused: (inc. Andy Ishwerwood and Stu from Worthing!) but a special HUGE thanks to WOZZER and SILVERBULLET for driving all the way up to my place and spending a good few hours with me to fix the car!! I'm glad to say I'm back on the road (albeit with a few more upgrades to go!) and nothing has gone kaput just yet! :eek: After beating my head against a wall with not progress :headvswal I'm very very happy that there are still those out there willing to lend a hand…

tried every search option and failed. somebody on here rebuilt there engine and colour coded it . the plenum was powdercoated back and i want to find that picture please can anybody remember there name or give me a link to that specific thread, it was the completed rebuild picture. thanks in advance gaz :bow:

As above, my dads n/a zed has a small alternator prob (lights pulsate when running), there is a guy selling one in the for sale section but neither of us know if it will be ok on a n/a as the alt is coming from a TT. Anyone know??? Any help will be gratefully recieved. :)

OK. I have to make a decision and I am not sure what way to go. I know its my car but just for the sake of it what front should I finally use for the finished article? The (?strosek?) picture has been photoshopped a bit but you can get the idea and I have crystal clears now which will fit on both. thanks for your opinions. :D

In a Black Zed Reg ****ECV Going up the main street in Helston at 3:30 this afternoon (Sat 3rd Nov) GoD I miss My ZED. :eek:

Dear santa This year I have been a very good boy, ive worked hard, paid attention in school, passed my exams and been very good to all the other boys and girls. I have even done a lot of overtime helping out in school and working with children less fortunate than myself. I even got a merit award. I never ask for much, but seeing as last xmas and the new year was so bad I would like to at least finish teh year with something special, then I can meet up with my mates from around the country and show them my wonderfull broom broom. It would also get rid of all the parts in teh spare room so we can decorate, this would make my wife very happy. Dear Santa I…

Can't wait for my club keyring, so I'm looking at a few I saw on ebay... :smw: What do you guys have your zed key on? Pics would be nice and also anyone got a pic of the club keyring, so I don't waste money on the same keyring from another source... thanks

anyone out there know the make of these mirrors ,tried searching forums , cant find any info on them, thanks.

Would it be better for me to sell my car in Dec with 12months tax and MOT or in May with 6 months Tax and MOT? Its will be for a UK Spec TT LWB Manual, hoping to get £3k. Shall I hang on or sell with a full MOT.

Got my Mocul zcenter jap spec kit auto cooler Via DTA today (Nice 1 Dan :hyper: ) I have read through loads of past post and come to the conclusion of leaving rad cooler fuctioning and adding old engine cooler in series with it. I understand checking fluid levels after. What I'm wondering iss there a flow direction? If so where do I add the new cooler in series left or right side of radiator? Also what do I flush old engine cooler with before fitting it as new trans cooler? Petrol, meths, ATF suggestions please

im in the process of doing this but when i went to fit the pedal box i found that there is no studs on the baulk head for the pedal box to mount to is this normal ? ive done a conversion before but cant remember wehter they were there or not

Hi all my 112mph limiter has been removed as i checked it out on track mon with a gps. But my speedo is still running in KM?? I havent removed the limiter i think it was done in japan?? so does anyone have any ideas how to get the 180mph clock in as i dont want the 110mph it looks daft I had the same problem when i had my MR2. I tried a converter chip but it never worked so i had to buy some uk clocks Any ideas?? cheers

I saw a car yesterday that had a registration "++Z 32xx" with '+' as alpha characters and 'x' numeric. Was this an Irish registration? Is it possible for these to be purchased for legal use in this country as I would like to look for a personalised plate such as "DKZ 3295"? Cheers - Dave

Looked cool - I did give a wave. Anyone from here?

hi peeps ive just changed my old cheapo k & n filter for a decent pipercross one and its made the exhaust sound different ...is this normal as it sounded ok before but now it sounds deeper and more rumbly surely a filter cant do that can it ???????????

Im in a bit of a pickle, and i dont know what to do... I desperatly want a manual ZX, i've been in one now and i realise that i bought the wrong one (a first to admit i was wrong, but there we go!) So i have a clean low milage Jap Auto, it has a recon box with 10k on it or so + an oil cooler. But it runs well, never gives me any crap and apart from the odd minor maintaince issue its not been a bother over the last year. It already has a chipped ecu, dump valves (good or bad iv not yet decided, mainly because they never really activate with the auto!) scorpian exhaust, apexi filter etc etc. So. Do i sell this as it is and buy a good manual? Do i…

Beside's the owner, whos not aloud to say, does anyone else recognise who this car belongs to in its semi virgin state LOL

Do any of you guys have a one piece propshaft fitted to your zed or know anything about them ? My centre prop bearing is on its way out and dont know if i should buy the new bearing or go for a one piece prop. What should i do? Also can anyone recomend where to get a one piece prop from if that i the route i should take. Thanks Matt

Hi Guyz I am SERIOUSLY considering buying a Z. I've just sold my GTO TT and was going to go for a Toyota Aristo TT but am now moving towards buying a 300TT. I had one of the early models and liked that a lot and know that the second series was much better. So I'm in the market for a decent one with the money waiting (and burning a hole in my pocket - afterall, its getting near Christmas and don't want to have to spend it on luxuries such as presents for the kids, clothes and food). I couldn't find a 'say hello' section so posted here to ..... errr..... say 'hello' If anyone is looking to sell a nice TT, I'd love to hear/see. Anyways..... on with the show. Che…

This is a big ask but if anyone is around the Reading area and able to pop over and help me fix the zed today?? A fellow member was due to come over but hasn't shown up and I can't seem to get in touch either! As per my prior posts, the ECU threw out a fuel injector code so I was planning on taking off the plenum to get at the injectors but even with the write ups, I've got no idea what I'm doing! If anyone can help or has any tips, please let me know! (07764 497597) Cheers! Or if you can recommend a decent garage that won't rip me off, as a last resort!

Happy Birthday Buddy. :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:
