Hiya, Any ideas on what can be done about a worn steering wheel? I want to keep the original (with airbag) and could do with the outside being retrimmed. I seem to remember on some car restoration program they sent a steering wheel to a saddlery (sp?) as the leather/stitchwork was a similar thing. Aftermarket covers are a no no ;) Although fluffy pink... hmm Cheers

What do you think?

Is there much difference over the stock main beam? I find with HID in the dipped lights I can't see much further when I switch to main beam and the light looks horribly yellow in comparison. Presume it would be an improvement but a lot is down to the headlight design.

I need to check to see if my vaccumn lines are plugged up correctly to the EGR valve that is left over when you remove the AIVs. I know the boost sensor goes directly to the balance bar so that is done. I'm now left with three other vac lines:- 1. one to the EGR, 2. one from under the throtle body on the driver side 3. one comes off of one of the turbo/intercooler pipe on the driver side Now, which one of these lines gets plugged into which pipe on the EGR valve? Top, middle or bottom!? Strike it lucky!

Wow seen how many people on here today :bow:

I ripped all the aircon stuff out the other weekend as it wasn't working and I was wanting to lose weight LOL Since doing this the outside temp display on the dash pod is showing -86 or something. Do I need to reconnect something? Presume I've chucked out the ambient temp sensor with all the junk but I didn't notice it. The only thing I unplugged that I can think of is the small bottle type thing (dryer?) under the bumper.

are the front wings ment tobe alloy or steel??

I needed the two connecting rods and bushes for my rear stabilizer bar so I rang my local Nissan,they wanted £128.00 + Vat.Tried the USA dealers and £58.00 delivered.Much better.Bought a complete set up from Luke at the ZCenter £18.00 and popped round to his house tonight and picked them up.Well done Luke :bow: :bow: :bow: He said they should be on his site shortley,so snap em up at this price Peeps as if you have a rusting set on your Zed these are worth changing at this price.........Vinz

Just done the old "drop the gearbox sump... clean the magnet thingy" on my UK TT. I had the drain plug on my sump ....which was handy ............ still got loads of oil down my sleeve into my arm pit and on my drive when I released the sump though :rant: It wasn't the nicest of colours.........so I think it probably needed doing. Heres my question....... I had done a seach on the forum about the job before I started it and expected to drain off 2-3 litres of old oil.........I got 4L out of mine is that normal or was it over filled previously????

Hey guys, We've been working on a new design for the rear bumper and we already finished our first concept...It's not ready yet, since it's going back to surgery to correct some details and add some curves here and there, tho...After the first concept rear bumper is finished, we will be starting the design of a rear diffuser that we think is going to be an amazing improvement for both aesthetics and performance. Anyway, we are thinking about selling this product in UK and Europe too, as we've tried with the front fascia. The thing is that, as most of you know, we couldn't find a distributor that could take care of the sales of our products in UK and Europe, so …
