Happy Birthday mate, I hope your on the mend. :duffer: Kim

Spotted and waved Black z Tinted, red rim part of wheel in the esso garage at newton abbot about 4pm 07/04/2007 I was in the grey one

and its final. Its been a hard decision and I've been selling/keeping for a while. But I've made my mind up now and im calling it quits. I've put a sale thread incase anyone wants the car as is, if the price is right, or im going to break it. Shame to do so, but money is money. Its been a tedious year of Z'ing and never really had a good week of it, even with a cheap Z and an expensive Z!!! I coulda had a real nice car with all the money I've thrown at these, lol, but it has been good!!! :dance:

Very tidy 2+2 in the car park saturday around 12pm ? ? ? ? ?

one was funky si an the other was the same colour but had standard wheels both seen in the after noon

Thought i would try the new kit onto see how it fits, not bad needs a bit of work, still waiting for the 99 spoiler and wings west skirts. then all the prep work and new colour

Found this and thought THAT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD WEEK AWAY. Any one else? Chri http://www.sfzcc.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3982 and this one http://www.flza.com/convention_info.htm

im not very mechanical so i was wondering how much a plenum bypass would cost me and where can i get it done (im in glasgow) ive recently had all major pipes replaced so im hoping it will last a good while but a bypass would cure any future probs

can any one point me to the direction of where all the pvc hoses are and where the valves are as my z is smoking (white smoke) smells of oil but could be petty smell as engine been flooded after weeks of cranking and car not starting but finaly sorted starting prob out and cars smoking first it was from the passenger side exhust thats cleared and now its from the driver side exhust smokes a bit more when uv reved it and once its ticking over after reving it after a while the smoke calms down a bit but soon as you rev again it dooes the same, water levels fine also the oil level is fine. what can it be??

Black TT G257 or 235 TUFF cant remember numbers but i see ya in Sommerfields car park, Wickford Mid day today (sat) i'm sure i've seen this car on here?

Trying to wire in a new boost gauge, its a smoked glass version so I need a live feed to it to light the gauge once ignition is on. Ive searched around a bit and followed instructions to pick up a feed from the ashtray light live but this only lights my gauge when the vehicle lights are on. Have tried the positive to the radio but once I hook up to it the radio is dead. Heres my question, does anyone know the colour of the live wire into the small digital clock, Im hoping to pick up a live from there. Another possibility is one of the 2 looms/white connectors on either side of the dash cowl...again if anyone knows the correct wire Id be very grateful. I ought to mention t…

Are the T/T an the N/A propshafts different ? Manual and auto would be different I suppose. Alan...............

The digital gauges i bought from a company in the states for an old car of mine that had a cable driven speedo have been sitting patiently waiting to be installed in the zed... up until now the company i bought them off didnt sell speed sensors for cars without a cable driven speedo... my question is, they now offer a range of speed sensors of which im hoping one would be compaitible, but i have no idea which one to get lol... if i could please rob a moment of your time to look here and see if you see a sensor that you think might be suitable... im thinking the very bottom one myself. im hoping sum1 can either confirm or deny any of these applications. chee…

Well this girls been getting dirty, and before you lads start anything I was talking about oil, grease and general engine dirt. LOL I now have blue silcone vaccum hose's and the Bov's are almost on. Getting at those recirc valves was a complete PITTA. Everything from under the front nose cover is now in the boot till tomorrow when I put it all back again. I had fun cutting bit with a hacksaw blade yet again. It took me 4 hours out there and this is the second time I've run out of light to finnish the job. So wish we luck for tomorrow, lads my poor hands are all scrapped up and I've broken a few nails :(

Few pics just before it comes out of the garage. (Just in case I wrap it up at the first roundabout) Just got to tidy engine bay a bit, align suspension, and fit the boot trim and it's ready for the road. Apart from the front suspension being too high now. It may be too high to drive far so may be back in the garage next weekend. It's about 30mm higher at the front and 12mm higher at the back now, due to losing all the Nissan stuff. I thought it would be about the same as I've put in a fair bit of extra soundproofing, but it seems as if it's going to be 100-150kgs lighter at a guess. Going to run a carb at first, to run engine in, and fit injection and the blo…

Complete engines sell for these days. Got forged pistons, 360 degree bearing turbos, arp head studs, cometic h/g.

Attempted to fit these today and gave up!!! Can anyone who has fitted them tell me if the 2 bolts that you take out and replace with longer ones will come apart from the bracket on the inside of the engine bay or are they welded to the bolts? Cheers, Andy

Cars looking sweet meduck! :D

Has anyone on here had any probs with mounting the P.T.U where the carbon canister is? Plan on removing the canister and putting the P.T.U down there but a bit worried about it getting wet or overheating or something. Cheers Steve.

Anyone know a silver/grey zed in republic of ireland. spotted it earlier today at around half 2 in swords at pavillions shopping centre. it had 6pot rear lights and i doubt it from the area as i havent seen it before. looked like a swb from what i saw but could be wrong!

Hi, all. I recently posted that I was looking for a repair kit for my brake master cylinder. I now know where to get one (thankyou for the replies), and I've even been offered a replacement for the entire bmc (thankyou again). Before I buy one or the other (or both!), can anyone tell me if I am doing the right thing? The brake fluid seems to be leaking out from where the bmc mates with the booster....does this mean it IS something leaking in the bmc, or should there be a gasket between the bmc and the booster (there isn't one there at the mo - could it have rotted away?)? I'm assuming the seal at the end of the bmc is perishing, but I've had a look at it and it looks…

I put 40 pounds worth of fuel in the car 2days ago and have driven approx 50 miles, but the fuel gague is still registing 3/4 full. Any ideas guys? Would it be a fuse and where would it be located. CheerZ Chris.

About 2 weeks ago I found my car was running safety boost and was chucking out code 34. Being the det sensor, I followed the guide and put a 1m-ohm resistor in place at the connector block in the engine bay. This worked fine for a couple of days (had code 55) and then the car went back into code 34!!!!! :x: Following my previous post earlier this week, I decided to wire directly to the ECU at pin point 23 :eek: , I spliced into the wire and connected the 1m-ohm resistor in line and then grounded the other end to the body of the car! This seemed to work fine and the car is back running properly on 1-bar boost :dance: , but, the car is still throwing…
