Greg stated in a previous thread about checking marks on pulleys line up - I done this and photos are attached - Im pretty sure it hasnt jumped a tooth. You can see the position of my cas to get 15-16 deg tho - it should be central. Does this mean I could have a buggered cas? Secondly - under the throttle body theres a small pipe with nothing attached (you can see this in the 2nd picture just above the cambelt) - should this be plugged or anything?

Ive just fitted a scorpion exhaust to the zed and after a couple of hours i noticed a lot of smoke coming out of the drivers side. this only happens when the car is sitting at the lights or ticking over for about 30 seconds. i had a play with the boost about a week ago and shes been running great. I reckon ive blown the seals on the drivers side turbo or they've gone due to the loss in back pressure after fitting the scorpion exhaust. the car is running very rich as the exhausts were very sooty after a few blasts out in her, so i dont think i could have killed any internals(hope not). Other than the smoke shes running great Can i get the turbo off…

hi guys, this might sound a dumb question, but can I use R34 gtr discs on my zed with R33 gtr calipers on the front? are the two discs (r33 gtr and r34 gtr) exacly the same? thanks

So next week at japfest i'm going out on the track for my first session. I'm really worried i'm going to do some damage to the car so any tips on prepping the car for the day? It's on stock suspension and brakes but the brakes are relatively new and the pads were only replaced a couple of thou ago. Any way of improving cooling on the stock rad seeing as my koyo isn't going to be here in time? (e.g. cutting holes in a spare nosepanel etc) I'll be doing a full oil/filter change before i go down. Coolant flush was done just after christmas. Is it worth lowering the car before i go (e.g. i was planning on fitting einbach springs but haven't had the m…

whats the best way of testing injectors? While car is running do you just put a screwdriver on each, other end to your ear and listen for a steady ticking? is there any way of telling if they are breaking down or clearing up at higher rpm's? I have conzult free and datascan - I can isolate cylinders 1 by 1. Car seems to hesitate until sort of 3rd gear high revs then it stutters and just flies. Like something has just cleared itself out.

Does any1 know if the fuel pump + plenum off a N/A zx will fit a TT or are they totally different???

Hello Chaps. Going to fit my kyb's over the weekend, just wanted abit of advice on the best way to go about it, anything i need to look out for, or just the best method of getting it done. Cheers All the best Dutchy

as above didnt catch the reg young dude in cool shades wasnt in my zed but yours sounded nice

I just want to know where is located the fuel pump control unit??

....about 2 or 3pm today?

thought you might be intrested what i did this afternoon, instead of buying de-cat pipes and all the trouble that goes with fitting them just de-bowel the originals ;) took me about an hour after getting zorst off and this is the results. you need a long spike and a torch allso sneak the wifes dyson to keep sucking the small crumbs out

are there any differences between series 1 and 2 can you tell just by looking or numbers on the unit??? cheers

Stopped in to get some Plastikote Black for my scuttle panels and ended up with a bag-full of goodies. Which is unusual for Halfrauds! Also got some - chrome paint for headlight inserts - Megs Endurance Tyre Gel - no better stuff! - AutoGlym tyre gel - great for the engine bay, as its in handy spray bottle. - For my 3for2 free purchase I got a Megs Super Plush Towel (god knows why!) I didnt need anything else! (I think I might have bought the wrong Plastikote so those that have tried it on their scuttles, let me know.)

Well i was up for a MOT and got talked into taking some pic's of my car along side Bazza's. It's peed me off a bit because Barry has had his engine bay newly painted and all his wiring is so neat I'm going to have to do all mine now. Baz the car is gorgeous mate. I hope you don't mind, but I think Phil wants some picks for his customers wall. I took loads more so that I can look at them so as to get under the bonnet and sort all my wiring bits, a bit more bling and retouch my inner wings. If you want me to email you the pics Baz just give me a shout.

Had my car at what you call a MOT test. Failed because Co2 was to high. even tried to pull the pipe to the fuel dampner. Only one ecu error code number 54 when I checked. (need to replace my ecu soon) (and yes it is a manual) Soo, any tips to what I can do to get the co2 down? Going to check the plugs of course.

Hey guys. I've just put a deposit down a on 300, uk spec twin turbo manual. But in the advert, the guy said it has a two stage boost button. I'm just wondering if anyone in here knows wot it does? I'm assuming that it either alters the boost pressure or injects something to give more boost? Any help would be appreciated Mikey
