...anyone with the electronic parts catalogue... could they check what size the clips and screws are that secure the corners of the bumper to the splash trays? I think the clips are number12 (also what are the names of these...washer clips??? Screw clips??). But can't be sure. Want to try and replace mine with stainless fixings. Cheers

Would these fit on a zed?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/345mm-Big-Brake-Kit-for-the-Nissan-R33-GTS-T-Skyline_W0QQitemZ190057635263QQihZ009QQcategoryZ23013QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item190057635263

I only ask because i just bought a pair to recon but didn't ask if they were off an auto/manual doh! They're off a similar aged jap spec car though but i remember someone saying that auto turbos are smaller than manual tt cars

Its coming upto that time of year when the insurance is due for renewal. Since I have spent and still spending a small fortune on the car, I need to insure the car with a high agreed value. Does anyone have any recommendations, one for an agreed value policy but also for its got to allow big power and modifications. Thanks in advance Barry

hello people ive been having an intermittent problem coming home last night came to a roundabout changed down a couple of gears and noticed the clutch was real heavy. got to the round about stiffed in it 1st pulled away and it jac rabbited like a ******* but it ticks over fine... the problem has one away now but sometimes the clutch gets heavy but not with the crap running stuck me foot on the clutch without starting...started the car but the pedal didnt sink as quickly as i expected it to ie the same as the brakes do when you first start so im coming to the conclusion it could be 1 or 2 things... 1 i take it the clutch is the same as the brakes…

I have just go the Z TT back after a few months and am well pleased. The water pump has been replaced and all seems well that way. I have noticed two small problems though. First is that it seems to hesitate when I first apply the throttle. It does it when I am pulling away from anywhere and if I rev it at a standstill. Idle is fine and there doesn't seem to be a misfire. It seems to bog down a little like its drawing breath and is strange. Second is that some dials on my dash have stopped working for some reason! My temp gauge, boost gauge and oil pressure gauge have just stopped. Any ideas why and what can be done? Thanks all.

Looks like i may have bought another zed in japan :slap: nice spec as well and its a manual swb slicktop :cool: so i will be getting to all running well and no doubt keep it a month or two but if anyone is interested it will be up for sale after then ;) Mike

Would appreciate opinions from techies :) Price is good and does have VGA inputs: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=99080&TabID=1&source=1&doy=1m12#spec Good? Or better off spending extra on something else? Also, can anyone recommend a good 15", wall mountable monitor? The flatter the better!

Hi guys, does anyone know of a z garage/mechanic/workshop in the surrey(or surrounding) area? I need my clutch/gearbox looking at(only selects 1st,3rd and 5th), and the speed sensor changing. Have been trying Ztech for the last week, but they never pick up the phone!:rant: I dont mind travelling a fair way, but as i've got no reverse, I'm loath to go to far :nana2: Any ideas anyone? Cheers Tony

Help! SWB on Eibach Springs and standard shocks with 18's BUT back seems high. Can anyone suggest a way to drop it cheaply? Maybe an inch or 2? May have to look at chopping them!!!! Oh no!! Yours in anticipation, angle grinder in hand, Andy Ps sorry about my pictures being so big in "rides" section, haven't figured out how to shrink em yet.
