hi z-mates my z needs a good tune up, does anybody know if there is a good place to get it done in the oxford area regards big mo

Well impressed by NitroPow's engine bay bling, just wondered what parts could be chromed? Has anyone got a full list of what could be done?. Or be polished (thanks Mike) Thanks Barry

I've got new front disks which do not seem to fit properly. The disks I have are the correct size 280 X 30 and the correct PCD, but as soon as I put them on and tighten the calipers, they bind to the calipers and do not move. I have measured the disks that were on and they are 280 X 26 (a bit too worn). Surely no one would do a brake downgrade! Could it be that my calipers have misshapen somehow? I am now at a total loss. I have a 90 Import NA, could this be the reason. Perhaps different size disk/caliper. Colin

For those who have one, please look at the picture and tell me if the wiring is correct before it goes back on, Thanks.

I really really must be mad I just couldnt resist them Hmmm new 6 pot greddy brakes with 355mm discs, endless pads God i would be in trouble if the wife knew :rofl: Mike

Hi, any ideas what could be causing my car to use so much petrol? It's using £15 a day to cover about 15 - 20 miles, it stumbles at low revs when the throttle is only half open, but it's fine at WOT. It intermittently has a warning light: Once it's warm it pops when you come off the throttle... alot. It had a replacement engine abou 2000km, everything was fine then, the engine has 60k on it. It's a 92 NA with a Blitz ECU (mapped to the old engine) not sure if anything else has been changed.

Now that i have found out what the zed has wrong, its seems the heads are shagged, is it worth rebuilding the existing, new seats, valves, seals etc and skimming or just go and get new already done, Are new ones the most cost effective in time, but cost a few more quid, Are the engines of safe design? as in have zero compression on the heads, is it likely the valves had wacked the pistons? any advice would be greatfully recieved.

yellow z on M11 with roof off heading north :cool:

My god, I went out this morning to take my kids swimming, and could I find my car??!! Turns out it had been "towed" by the poxy council, because I was supposedly parked "in" a disabled bay outside the doctor's in my rd. The wheels were NOT in the bay, a bit of the rear end was over the line, but there was LOADS of space to park, I was not obstructing the bay at all!!! I checked to make sure that there was loads of space still. My rd is a nightmare to park in at the best of times, and this is outrageous. I went to the pound today to claim my car (they want £200), and because I didn't have any ID on me, they said I couldn't have it. I told them all my docs were in the car a…

I need urgent help lads, I am due to go away for a few days from tomorrow and have just found out my battery is leaking acid from a small crack in the bottom, I cant find a battery that is meant for the zed, what sort of amperage do i need? Is one from another car suitable? Please help. BTW I have a J spec TT auto

I want to hold it when I drop the front cross member, but where do I sling it from?

well...not by me but you sure impressed my 16yr old son heh :) Going through Brinsworth yesterday!!!!

Still trying to solve my Z's throttle problem. Short story is that the TPS is pushing out 0.44V (checked with multimeter and replaced TPS), even on the plug into the ECU. Datascan shows the TPS voltage as 0.9V. As a consequence the car is not running well, high idle and very harsh gear changes. It also seems to sit at higher revs when cruising, but maybe that's another problem. Anyway I've now swapped out both the auto box ECU and the main engine ECU and have the same readings, so whilst I'm happy that's 2 more bits ruled out I'm still left with my problem. So I'm thinking there must be a short or something elswhere or possibly some other sensor into the ECU cau…

Hi, how easy is it ( or not ) to replace the oem seats in my uk zed with a set of aftermarket seats. From what i can gather, no body makes frames for the zed, so modding the original ones are ok to do etc.. Thanks

OK, I have now got clear rear lenses to fit over the weekend. :hyper: I will be following this link clicky but does anyone have any other tips for me before I get stuck into a very messy job? Thanks, Mike...

is the a correct direction of rotation for these? i just noticed on kirbz's brake upgrade in the forsale section his front discs are on the opposite way to mine whaic is correct? cheers kev
