Does anyone have any pictures of Tony Lacks' old interior, the gorgeous cream leathers. Cheers peeps... Gee

There is a rattling noise from the engine when you accelerate. A website tells me these could be the causes Possible causes: The ignition timing may be set wrong: Adjust ignition timing. The engine may be running too hot: Check and repair cooling system. There may be a vacuum leak: Check and replace vacuum lines as required. Incorrect grade of fuel: Fill with the correct, or higher, octane fuel. There is an excessive amount of carbon built up in your engine: Clean carbon from valves and combustion chamber. (Not a DIY job) There may be a fault in the computerized engine control system: Check engine control systems with a scan tool. Test…

Wanted to know where i can get these : shifter plate carbon lip

Anyone whos welded panels/sills on their Z, what gauge steel did you use. Im doing the sill areas and was going to use 1.2mm but looking at the original metal it looks more like 1mm. Suppose if I use the 1.2 it will take longer to rust through ;) .

Hey Bug Do me a fav, can you get onto whoever or whatever to get my pentroof manifolds sorted. Its been 6+ months now and in all honesty if I would of known it would of ment me having to spend extra money to have the engine machined because rust has developed. I wouldnt of given you the manifolds. sory I sound pissed off but the lumps been sat waiting for that long, now its fooking shagged all because i did a fav. get onto it for me mate at least i can sell them to pay for the machining work ffs

Does anyone know a Zx specialist in the Somerset area Yeovil Area whos shit hot on the Z, cant sort my starting problem out and need it diagnosed!, so I dont go bald!!! Ta Jay :shock:

Hey everyone! Just thought here was as good a place as any to make my first post. Im Steve, im into drifting and my zed will defo be getting setup for that in the next few months! I got my 300zx TT Manual from Caz on here who now has my porsche 944, My previous car to that was a tuned 200sx S13 which I also used and built for drifting. Anyways, no doubt speak/see/annoy most of you very soon and through various posts in here! Im very technically minded and always witrk on cars myself rather than get the garage to do it so hopefully ill be able to add some advice etc to the tech section now and then :) Bye for now!

But they'd have to be 90 degs, or it wouldn't be worth it. Now I know that threads have been posted about all this in the past, and some members get a little passionate about which ones are the best ;) (so I don't want all that, I've read it all before) What I would like is serious comments on whether you think it would suit Eliza, considering she is basically standard and not really your normal stand-out-from-the-crowd type Zed...................

As you are aware the Zed started overheating the other day and seemed to have a big puddle of water underneath it.. Anyway had a look under the car and checked the water pump.. Have found out it is not actually the water pump as that is fine.. Water was leaking through a pipe near the turbo.. and coming out of the turbo (i think) and found another leak towards the front of the car (a small hose), It pretty much dumps all of the water out through the turbo.. could it be a problem with the intercooler pipe or something.. have been thinking its a pipe that the "petcock" as its called (according to the americans..) has been banging against whilst going over bumps and possibly…

Heres a photo of the dash in my recently acquired Zed. Not very nice, eh ?? Got a spare dash sitting here from a Jap Import that registers 160, in kph. So, fitting my spare dash, wheres the best place to get a KPH/MPH Convertor ??? Cheers, Alan.......... [/img]

Right , i knew it would happen if I was chasing good power but my autobox popped today, my plan was to use my bonus in june for a manual conversion, now i need to get a cheep autobox to last me till june :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:

Looking to get a new batt for the old girl... the one i have doesnt look to be the right size, had a look in my local motor factors and surprise surprise niothing listed, but they did have a 600amp 60 ah batt, is this one the right power for the car? or is it a bit over kill? or under powered?? Cheers Neil

Also took her out the other night for a quick blast and the BOV's wernt BOVing :cry: Any suggestions?? havent touched anything, so they have the same settings, the car boosted fine, all the way round to nearly the top of the standard gauge when accelerating!!! Cheers Neil
