Guys/Girls/Experts of any gender! After 18years of deperately wanting a TT Zed I finally got one a month ago... (Leaving me like a pig in sh*t as the saying goes!) however - I currently have two issues which are resulting in me not driving my baby! *sniff*!! 1. When the engine is warm I have a coolant leak from beneath the Plenum resulting in plumes of steam from under the bonnet. I have been given advice from a couple of the guys on here (thank you for your time guys!), but as I have been a spoiled child with a company car for the past 11 years my mechanical skills have dissolved (as probably has my first car!!! - 997cc metro city which I stripped and r…

Happened to my old red UK LWB too. dunno if its living in pothole city but my SWB now has the same problem Front wheels seem to far forward and when you turn they rub and embed themselves in the inner arch covers. Left hand side inner arch now ruined and Ive had to cut it away slightly to stop the embarrasing noise when turning corners. Polybushed up and had the rose jointed tension rods put on. Will have to check to see if lower arms are cracked - anyone else ever get this prob???

Well after being off the road this time only for a short while, got all the niggly little things sorted, that have been bothering me for ages Andy was lovely keeping me updated on progress, and sorted things along the way I don't think I've forgotton anything! new slave cylinder fitted New centre bearing fitted new transmission mount fitted new drop links/bushes fitted oil leak near turbos -fixed new clamps for fuel lines oil change rattling exhaust fixed ballasts moved (no more plastic bags) new headlight ( the old one was glued back together by an ex trader and fell apart in Andy's hands :rolleyes: ) speedo fixed alarm fob fixed fit…

Do Halfrauds or most motor factors sell this? Gonna replace gearbox oil and this is recommended gearbox is getting noisy and gear changes seem slow, so hopefully this will sort it Anyone know how much I will need?

Last night 17/8/07. Parked on the A4 facing out of town. Had 3rd brake light in spoiler. Darrell

I'm needing some new wheels. At the moment the tyres are 225/55/16. If i were to look for some larger alloys (17 or 18 maybe) what would i need to look for? Is there a code? I see things such as "Stud" and "J#" but i'm not sure what these mean. Thanks (1992 import TT)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-24V-TWIN-TURBO-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS- Has anyone purchased these? Price looks pretty reasonable (for both front and rar) but would like a second opinion before I make an order.

I am very aware that Thoresby is also on sunday and starts at 10.30, My worry is that members will find it a hastle to go to ferrybridge first, and just go straight to Thoresby......

All the best bud. Have a good day!! :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

No it wasn't the new M5, but a 2001 one. Put a few car lengths between mine and a Y reg one tonight after he cockily drove so near, I thought I was towing it. Thought it would have been all over me tbh. Maybe the mods are beginning to pay off.

just wondering as i'm about to go through the same thing. Be honest, do you miss the auto? in other words if you had enough dosh would you keep getting your autobox fixed? I reckon i'm going to miss that smooth 0-100mph kick you just don't get with a manwell

i live 5 mins from heathrow today i dropped off my uncle to the airport and back without egzagurating(sp) there must have been about 5 police motorcycles 15-20 police cars 15-20 police vans all roaming on bath road the main road to terminal 1,2,3, and im not even talking about terminal 4 here and not including the patrolling officers :shock:

Went shopping with the wife tonight to Tesco in Doncaster and as I passed the kids aisle I saw a zed Its in a pack of jada style cars these are 1/64th scale and included are Nissan Skyline GTR R34 98 Nissan 240sx(s14) 300zx Llexus sc300 and a Scion tc. I snapped up 2 sets at a very cheap £5.95 the set. Sorry no pics as camera is u/s but for anyone who wants a small zx model you cant go wrong at the price. I think I saw a set go on ebay a few weeks ago for over £15.00

I have removed everything necessary to get the heater box out (Converting to primera matrix) the only thing holding it in now are the matrix hoses, I have managed to loosen the clips but the hoses aren't budging. Does anyone have any hints?

Hi, Folks. My Z has been off the road for a couple of weeks, and now she won't start. When I turn the ignition on, I can hear nothing from the fuel pump. This has happened before, but usually after a few attempts the pump kicks in and all is well. I'm fairly sure it's just the pump sticking a bit - I can hear the relays etc click - and tomorrow I'm going to try undoing the straps on the tank and giving it a little jiggle ('cause the pump lives in the tank) to see if it will loosen up. In the meantime, does anyone have any other suggestions as to why the pump may not be operating, and what I could try?? Much appreciated!

Anybody got a pic of how to wire this into the ECU on a z32? My instructions are in japanese :(
