Hi There I spose you all knew this, but until I was on the US NICO Club site just now, I just assumed that most 300's were TT's like here! Apparently no 2 + 2's were ever imported in TT form, and some US owners swapped in the TT engine. Only 2 seaters were imported in TT versions. Well Well- something we have that the Yanks dont!! Regards Dave

Did a search, but couldn't find anything and have a few questions about the centre console and ICE :) My Swiss '93 ZXTT 2+2 manual has a 90's Blaupunkt radio/cassette player in the top mounting and a Fischer cassette storage unit in the space below (don't know if this was an aftermarket thing or in from new). The cable to my boot floor mounted CD changer melted (!) after a track day, and I thought it was a good time for an upgrade. I wanted to take out the cassette storage unit (which I don't use), but there is nothing behind it but the wires of underdash space... :( Ideally, I'd like to have a centre console with one slot for the radio/CD and use the …

hi my brother just imported a r32 gts-t skyline, we checked the ecu and it's got stealth chrome badge on it and stealth seals on the lids, has anybody ever hearld of stealth? we can't find anything online.. We are assuming that any upgrades would have been done in japan! the only other mods are street stainless exhaust turbo timer, but it looks llike a brand new engine, it was owned for 7 years by the jap auction company he bought it through! but didnt get any history with it. cheers Jay

i am thinking of an engine rebuild do any of you do anything like this http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_14&products_id=1056

I have just sent off for my 2nd datascan serial number for my in car laptop but have just had windows die (after a few new software loads :mac1: ) . Im concerned that after i restore an image to the laptop then reinstall datascan that my serial number wont work. Will i be ok? the hardware will be the same and clearly my name and email address will be the same so will it still generate the same activation code string? If not what can i do? Pleading here as i dont want to buy another copy f the software due to an XP system failure!

Hi, I know this has been done to death, but would just like a couple of questions answered is poss... :cool: I have been in contact with pete at nippon auto and just wondered about the quality of his work and the fit on the seats from the the covers he makes etc..before i spend some cash! thanks Mark

Well went to charge my car battery up ready for putting it all back together and testing tomorrow and I turned the garage handle and the cable snapped. So my car is stuck in the garage and I dont have another door. So im fooked now, DOH!!! :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

This mod is as subtle as it gets, but a few have said they aren't keen. One of my big pet hates on the Zed is that horrible finish on the lower parts of the bumpers and sills. It's more noticable on dark coloured cars rather than light colours, you don't really notice on my pearl white, but I just want that even shine rather than the moddled effect. So, I am going to smooth down the bumpers as per Daves_zed. Only difference is, I am going to retain the dark pin-stripe, so it's not noticable so much, just want the lower part not to look poorly finished. I think it looks great and is only noticable to the trained eye. But doesn't stick out.

ive just installed my Profec B II, before i go fiddling with the boost solenoids and the wastegate hose set up, can anyone tell me what stock boost is? ive changed the display to read psi instead of kPa and it seems to sit about 85, i take this to read 8.5 psi. is this about right?

On a standard cigarette lighter adapter which bit is based on earth and which is positive? Im guessing the fused, point end is positive and the bits that connect with the side of the lighter are earth?

If you missed part 1. Here you go I cant imagine how the engine bay will look like when is finised

I've removed the standard spoiler from the boot and i now have to slam it to get it closed has this got anything to do with the fact that it s full of holes and there is no perspex panel on it cos it feels like back pressure.

Anyone know the price on a brand new torque converter, cant seem to find anywhere that sells them?

just got back from my jols and could you beleive that i bought my first zed only a few days before i went away. so needless to say ive been itchin to get bach and drive her. while i was away i have had her resprayed, been told she looks really nice in her new shiny red. goin to pick her up in a min so fingers crossed. still need some goodys so gonna get subscribed and get buying. :D

I've checked all the wires/bulbs at the back and they all seem fine. The fuse only blows when the brake is pressed but doesn't do it all the time. It will work one/two days without a problem and then blow, and on very bad days fuse after fuse, instantaneously. Any ideas what I should check for before I start stripping the whole interior out?

I was in a Black 2+2 and passed you near the Tesco roundabout @7.30 this morning. First time i've seen a white convertible on the road. Yay.
