hello all, I'm able to make CF TTop but was wondering what exactly would you like in CF. Here are 2 pictures just to clarify: This is the mechanism: This is the glasses: I weighted each of them: Mechanism is around 1.5kg Glasse is about 3.5 kg The fiber shop told me that if they built a piece to replace the glasse, it should be around 0.8kg so that 2.7kg saved. Also, they said they can do it in carbone fiber but painted as it won't be nice if not. What do you think about this? I would have prefer a complete one piece in CF but the closing system and the door gasket will be hard to keep... Please help me on this with yo…

Larger rolling radius therefore higher gearing, therefore better fuel consumption? I recon so - although the speedo / odo won't show it as it's altered by the same amount too. But... I guess big wheels may be wider and heavier which would be bad for fuel economy, as would be over gearing. What do you think?

As per usual with in import , I have no idea if or when my cam belts have been done. Before I wire up my boost contoller, I want to make sure the cam belts are ok. Has anyone found a quick/easy way of removing the timing belt covers? From reading replacement proceedures it seems like a right PITA. Cheers in advance, Andy

Hello, Have a problem with High idle :confused: Have conducted a search and found a few topics but nothing that can assist me. My engine idle's at approx 14-1500 when warm. :mac1: If i disconnect the Yellow Idle valve there is no change in rpm, if i operate the Aircon as usual the Rpm increase's. I have checked tps setting and this was setup on a conzult last. the voltage at idle is 0.42 volts.if i disconnect grey tps connector there is a slight rise in Rpm then it drops back to 1500 rpm. I have tried to perform a basic idle adjustment with idle valve yellow connector disconnected and i have no decrease only an increase in rpm. All connectors are clean and corro…

My key is stuck in the ignition! :headvswal The key wont do that extra turn to the left to release it. The button presses in but doesnt feel like its poping out far enough. My car is now in the car park with the key in the ignition! Lucky my alarm fob is in my pocket and the car is locked. It has been getting stuck intermittantly over the last week or so. I think the cold weather may have something to do with it. Any ideas?

Anybody know anything about EBC brake discs, any good?

very dirty but you could see the raw energy pulsing through it......parked up, so i walked upto it.......doh its mine! :hyper:

Does anyone know if there is a good source of fuel that is an alternative to petrol i could us on a z when i buy one soon :) . i was thinking that if diesel has veg oil petrol must have something as well.

hi zmates is there a way to bleed the heater matrix i had a heater pipe, between bulkhead and engine let go, i replaced it but since the the heater blows luke warm, or maybe its the valve not opening fully? any ideas guys regards big mo (man in black)

i notice theres a fair few people in the uk with aftermarket tubs on their z's. i'm looking at hks 2530's or the greddy td05 20g (i think) i want decent bhp at least 500+ - but i'm worried about spool up time on the greddy turbo - how long does it take? or at what revs does it kick in off the line. i'm more into track than drag thats why i'm considering the hks as its got a really good spool up time according to reviews. as anyone got any info as some of you have these tubs already? how do they compare with response on stock tubs? cheers

Can some of you very talented zedders give me an idea of the best way of going about a auto to manwell conversion, including the bits n bobs I will need to purchase to do the job properly. Do I need a diff ecu or propshaft etc What are the pitfalls and what do I need to be looking out for probwise. Cheers Marc

Hi, i've been looking on and off for the right Z for 18 months now and have test driven 2 but they had little faults and i was put off. This one is mint and i know the garage well.

Just looked at my Japonica and someone's stratched him above the near side rear wheel arc in a nice big arch. I had it in a carpark all day yesterday now I'm hoping mad. Why cann't people be more careful? :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Which side is it on (big or small connector)? Previous owner moved the PTU to inner wing but at same time taped all the wires together so I have to fish it out again.
