Hi Guys, I bought my Zed 3 years ago from the dock side (straight from Japan)with a knackered engine (head gasket), wife, kids, divorce have meant that it took me 3 years to rebuild the engine.(without the wife would of taken a week!) Finally got it running in January. Its 1990 TT auto and has cruise/A/C etc. So, history over, heres where I hope you can help. Firstly..... I want to Decat it but can only seem to find one kit on ebay and this kit does away with the EGR, I'm thinking EGR there for a reason or can you just leave it hanging?(so to speak) Secondly, the cruise control doesn't work over, what seems to be, 65/70 mph,is this due to japanese speed l…

Just been searching through some old threads and i think it may be the PTU, but wanted to ask for some extra help to make sure. Car ran fine yesterday, although i noticed that it misfired when pulling out of the petrol station, then went ok again almost immediately. went to start the car this morning and it wouldnt start, as if the battery was under charged, just kept clicking and not turning over. left the car for the morning and came back to it at lunch, to remove the battry and charge it. but the car started but now is only running on 4 cylinders. The front 2 cylinders are not firing. i have swapped over coil packs but still the same. Is this lik…

Afternoon all :D Well it's happened, Eliza has become extremely ill! And I mean EXTREMELY!!! I was driving down to Leicester on Friday evening, no problems all the way, until I got onto the M1, then I got a few 'coughs' and 'splutters'! Got off at junction 21a and pulled upto the traffic lights and Eliza died! Took a lot of starting again, then once it was started she was running very rough indeed. To cut a long story short, after a lot of dieing on me and restarting, I was eventually able to get to Karen's house. I suspected that the MAF and APEXi might have got wet somehow in the rain, so took them off and dried them out over night (the filter was a little…

A mate of mine wants his standard wheels to fit the arches. At the minute they look too sunken. What size spacers are needed to make the standard zed wheels fit the arches better? Has anyone got spacers on with standard alloys? Thanks Paul

Hey Hey guys I know I havent been round for a while but I have to share this. My Disco had to go in yesterday with a PAS leak, un£urtunatley it needs a new steering box ££££, wont be done for a few days so I need a car, out on the drive is my poor, very neglected Z, I have ignored her since April but now I need her services. Called Houghtons to insure her (£113 ;) ), will Tax her on Monday, so now I need to know.... will she start?....FFS only showed her the key and she bursts into life, so eager, so willing, needless to say I am so ashamed. I think Ive fell in love all over again! I hope she doesnt think Im just using her. :o :D

Putting my car on the rollers next month and i was just wondering is there anything special that needs to be done with it since its an auto. Does anyone know of any particular settings for the gearbox or does it not particuly matter. Its a jap spec TT if that helps!

Just noticed when Im accelerating hard, my temp gauge drops to cold. IS this just likely to be a bad connection from sender to gauge or could it be a reason why my car doesnt seem to be running properly.

Hi all I have decided to upgrade some of the suspension so would like some advice on what to replace. I already have tein street coilovers and front adjustable upper arms. I still have the hicas and want to keep it. What else should I replace? Darrell
