Hi, I'm fairly new here, but have been on the 200 sxoc.com for nearly 6 years, and for those of you in the NW I've been going to the Mascrat Jap car meets for 6 years as well!! About 6 weeks ago I paid Graham_Foley69 for some parts, and I understand he's had problems with a broken arm, but I'm pretty desperate for the brakes now and the number I have for him is 07871218045, which is never answered, and I don't have an email address. If anyone has a number or email address I'd be grateful, I can't seem to PM him and I can't post on his threads to ask as they all seem to be on Items for Sale which won't let me reply to. He seems a reasonable chap who sells a lot …

Getting the Z back after several weeks away. Have had all the mechanical bits done and 60k service done. New front 99specbumper, zenon rear bumper, sides blended and de swaged, tailgate skin added and re sprayed with 99 spec rear lights added. Have a few exterior trim bits to do but getting ready to re trim the interior and would like to see some pics of what other people have done as I really cant decide which way to go!

Just a question about air/fuel controllers. If i use a piggy back air/fuel controller on my stock E.C.U,does this not mean that i dont have to get my e.c.u chipped or do i still have to get it chipped.

Your new interior is ready mate so if you can collect it bud Mike

The garage just fitted Bosch FR7DPP22U plugs. Are they right for my NA? I thought the previous set sould have been good for 60,000 miles so I'm a bit surprised they changed them.

Hi guys... I'm a new member to this web site, so i'll say hello 1st! :D I bought my 90' TT Zed early Sept, and love the driving experience!:D However the fuel pump went 'oops i'm not playing anymore' at the end of Oct, and under warranty went to Nationwide Auto Centre where it sat for 5 days with the mechanics constantly turning the car over in order to diagnose the problem. Even with the battery flat, i was advised that ther was a problem with the alarm... :wack: So after aquiring a spare batt and jump leads i showed them the fuel feed pipe and while turning the car over pointed out that there was no fuel pressure coming through... Experts eh??? :smash:…

My n\a import with auto box has a speedo converter \ delimiter fitted about a year ago and seems to work fine but my steering has gone stiffer than usaul. I thought at first it must be the steering rack control unit next to the ecu, but have had secound thoughts that it might be the delimiter\ converter playing up. Could it be this and the speedo reading being ok ? If i fit a uk clock set from a tt, would it work on a n\a ? and would this mean i would no longer need the kph to mph converter ? Would i have to change the speedo sender sensor on the gearbox ? This is really doing my head in :smash: ( and my arms due to the steering bieng heavy) , so an…

guys, you may recall there was a post saying that I could hear an awfull whine on my trans, or on the back of my engine (mk1 Auto Twin Turbo Import) Well, the noise is deffinetly from the autobox, how depressing.. it gets worse, the car now slips out of drive within going about 10 yards down the road. It does seem very odd though, that if i turn the car off, leave it 30secs, start her up again, it will go in gear. is there any reason why this would happen? The sound is deffintley Hydraulic now, theres no denying it. any suggestions what can I can do now? is it likely to be the torque converter, or a pump within the gearbox unit. …

Middletons lane Norwich this afternoon bout 15:15? You waved but i didnt see your zed in time to wave back :)

ok i had my Zed of the road for a while and today was the first time i really gone anywhere with my De-cats fitted. But on two accations it sounded like the exhaust back fired, this can not be doing the turbos any good, does any one have any ideas on what could cause this. thanks guys dave

Just wondering how heavy your tailgates are as I have to pull quite hard to lift it and occasionally it will come back down, especially when its iced or soked. It's got a stock spoiler on it (don't think its a sponge one). which I'd quite like to remove at some point, will this make much difference to the weight when removed?

Black zed with 17" 5 spokes I think (twas dark!) turning onto the A16 from a side road near Thoresby on Saturday 16th at about 5 O'clock.

Just had a poly bush kit fitted all round and the car is making a strange whining noise from the back. It only appears when I back off the throttle. As soon as I apply the throttle it stops. It is also clunking when I put the throttle on and off. It's not much but there is a definite clunk as the throttle takes up the drive and then releases it. Any ideas?. Cheers, Harty.

I am starting to get a clonking noise coming from the back of my z (tein shocks and spring all round) and im debating whether to go for poly bushes (worried if their gonna be too harsh) or oem one's comments please.

just wanted to know if you guys are planing to have a meet next year ( 2007) for the z`s in the uk or maby a couple in diferent places so we dont have to travel too far wat you guys tink :dance: :duffer:

Just had a call from the bodyshop to tell me that my fiberglass sideskirts won't fit with my viper wings as they are 3 inch's too short.Has anybody else had this problem?or have the skirt suppliers sent me skirts for a shorty? :mad:

On at around 10pm, MTV,did see a little glimps of the trailer other day and thought i was seeing things,then my daughter saw the tv addy for tonight at 10pm,she defo sure its a Z,so hopefully we are correct.There is another program at 9.3o,best check that out too,just to be sure. Tony :)

I am really worried about this. My Zed has just come back from the bodyshop and looks great apart from a yucky black fungus which has grown over my lovely red paint in a couple of patches on the roof. I am hoping it isn't gonna spread any further. Just the cosmetic factor is bad enough but the car seems to be a little down on power now to boot:( Anyone know what I can do about it? :rofl: :D

Nismo gear knob, would suit my cream leather, but what dose it fit like? Anyone know Allan

Recently bought a 92 TT manual with the intention to break, however I am having second thoughts. The engine and box are superb with oil pressure almost off the clock when starting from cold and only drops back to midway when hot. It is very quick even compared with my 94 JWT chipped TT, and someone has fitted NISMO clocks tp it. On inspection underneath, I noticed some small corrosion at the rear of the offside cill panel which is unusual as on British cars the nearside always seems to corrode first because of its locallity to the side of the road and susequent salt built up. Has anyone done any welding on Jap cillpanels and is it a complicated structure undrneath the out…

I have just got the car back from having a poly bushing kit fitted and the rear fog lights are on all the time??. They go off if I flash the main beam but otherwise they are on no matter what!!. Flat battery tomorrow :cry: Cheers, Harty.

Well here goes i was selling one of my cars 3 1/2 month ago the chap came and left a £250 deposit and said he had the money sorted and would pay the rest on the next weekend and so was agreed to be done within 2 weeks. He then contacted me after the 2 weeks said the loan had been aproved and was just taking its time, i siad that i have other offers of 7800 for the car and he would have to leave another deposit to assure me he def wanted the car i said £1000 if he was def having it as might lose it, he said def havinging it and will give another £1500 not 1000 to show he def wanted as thefirst agreement had run out(ie the £250) so all was fine i used this on a deposit…
