Pics mate. How did you do today?

I think my PTU has gone funny or is going funny as reading through the searches its seems to be pointing here. Here are the symtoms, some my relate to other problems though. + Engine dies sometimes when I de-clutch. + When cold has major flat spots like its drowning on its own fuel. + Sometime seems to cut back like its hit the rev limiter, but its only at 5000 rpm. This happens when cold only. + When warm, idle is lumpy and erratic. + Went onto 5 cylinders mid journey on way home. + Still on 5 cylinders after restarting 20 mins later. + Didnt notice any smoke out the back and temp seemed fine. Well have a look over the engine in the daylight tomorr…

Saw a silver one on Lansdowne/Pembrooke road whilst I was over there last week. Anyone off here? Ivan

Having got my new zed tucked up in its lovely new garage, I've got some cash available to begin some modifications. Need some help in spending my cash. I've got 5 - 6k to blow on the car. was thinking of : Same colour respray (£2000 ???) 99 Spec bumper (420) leather retrim (1000) carputer (600) New suspension Anyone else think of any better things to spend the cash on (prefferably on the car, my car... :rofl: ) not to fussed about increasing the performance too much it's plenty quick for me at the moment. If I don't spend the cash soon it'll end up turning into a conservatory :eek:

Hi mates!!, this is my new zed!! 2+2 twinturbo whit american fron bumper and red ferrari--- :hyper: :hyper:

Need to get new anti rollbar droplinks for the front, they a bit worn, now I have TEIN aftermarket suspension fitted, and need to know the length of the standard droplinks before I get replacements, just in case these are shorter as the car is lowered. So if anyone minds crawling under their zed with a tape measure I'd greatly appreciate it! ;)

i had my suspension set up as my tyres were getting trashed very quickly have they set it up right for the suspension i have kyb with eibachs

I know I can buy them, but I can get them from a mate gratis if I know the size... found Blackmagic's picture (below) and got some M12 (not sure of pitch) which go in fine but don't 'bite' like I expected - standard calipers & bolts are much harder to tighten in comparison. Am I missing something, or were the threads on my old calipers just completely full of shite?!? Rich

my 60,000 mile pimpmobile passed today with not even an advise note :hyper: :hyper: a little hint for the people running an aggresive fuel map and like me today thought ide have problems this is what i done 1 get the car up to temp before it goes in,i mean "real" temp 2 find a good stretch of "private" road and hit the pedal to get them cats really hot and working right 3 just before the tester puts the probe up the pipe where possible ask the tester iff you can clear its throat and hit the gas upto 5000 rpm then let it come back to idle 4 pull the vacume pipe off the fuel damper unit and allso off the other side of the balance bar where it tee,s to t…

Theyre a bugger to get to arent they. Finally get to it and now I realise what was meant about 'splicing' spade and bullet connectors. For those who haven't looked, the car (jdm) has a bullet type connector but the h3 bulb I bought has a spade type connector. So what I did was replace the spade on the new bulb with the bullet from the old. Now this obviously means I'd have to do this whenever a fog bulb goes. So to those who have done this before, did you get another spade connector to put on the car side? Thus eliminating the need to swap conectors every time a bulb goes? Weird things though, since they act as normal lights when on and even though my fog …

black z in east grinstead nice car :nana2:

Hi guys, I have a problem with my 1991 300ZX TT auto, hopefully someone can help.... At the moment, when "D" is selected the car won't change into top gear. When accelerating, the 'box changes from 1st to second with no problems, but then won't shift into 3rd. At the moment, we've checked the fluid level which is fine (checked after a run with the engine running).... Can anyone tell me if there is a fuse that controls the shift into top that could have blown, or if there are any other obvious things to check? Thanks, Shelly
