Hi, Dose anyone have a boost leak detector kit? Or dose anyone know how to make one up? I need one urgently..

picking my first zed up this week, never owned one before, cant wait to drive her home. Reason for the thread is i would like some pointers on what to look for eg. common probs i should look for on the car. As this is my first zed i would like it to be as trouble free as possible ,so would like any info on experiences you have when buying these cars. cheers George :cool:

i was the pearl one that pulled in and gave you an ey up

hi there, i have been searching around for ages looking for the best place to buy gauges - a boost gauge to start but would like to get oil pressure and water temperature at a later date so i would like them to match - rather they be cheaper and reliable (if thats a possible combination) Advice would be much appreciated

Between J3 and J4, about 10:45. Only got a brief glance as I was heading the other way in a non-Zed. Looked like a stock car, with a Lady driving and a Bloke riding shotgun. Anyone here???

can anyone recommend anywhere to refurb wheels, preferably in Manchester?

as above the drivers side locks vis the key but doesnt activate the passenger side, had a damned good look at it and cant seam to figure out why, all plugs are connected ( window works from drivers side) but no locking :confused: also while i have your attention, the boot release doesnt sem to work, i can hear a relay in the in the passenger side rear quarter clicking but nothing, i though it was just a cable release??? :confused: any body got any ideas on the above, Cheers Neil

Is the speed sensor different on n/a - tt Models??? or different years on the Z32 or j-spec - UK spec??? I ask as i was given a new speed sensor, well used when i got my zed and it seems to be about a mm or 2 bigger than the 1 in my car. My car is a 1990 j spec tt, not sure what the speed sensor came out of. Also the wires come out on the opposite side. Any help would be really good. Thanks in advance. Pete

hi all, I have a manual TT. But I have a automatic speed radiator which include oil cooler for gearbox. Do you think I could use the extra cooler for my engine oil or will it warm up to much the water? thank you

Fitting decat pipes on wednesday, I gather you need only 2 gaskets for the join to the middle section. Anyway does anyone have the part numbers for these and is this the kind of thing a main dealer woujld ahve in stock?

Earlier this year I had a max street clutch installed with all the trimmings including the flywheel. From what i understood, this unit uses the standard OEM clutch plate. Is this right? I also got the rear crank seal replaced whilst it was all off. Now the clutch seems fine, but if i try spin the rear wheels, it does happen but i can smell the clutch. Is this common? I dont usually do stuff like trying to spin the wheels, I usually let the car start moving first before flooring the pedal but surely it shouldnt smell like that if i do. I got the same smell when reversing the car up onto ramps. Maybe its just me and the way I use the clutch. Any ideas f…

Well I just plumbed in a mechanical gauge and started her up. Noise starts just as pressure builds up and it only reaches 50psi from cold. Should be more like 90-100, so 99% sure its the oil pump now!!!! Just gotta order bits up and do the job now.

Last night see a red uk parked at the rear of a car sales/workshop in farnningham kent unusuall plate ADZ 4** i think?

Hi Friday, Could you post your photos of your battery relocation and any notes you have which may help, did you have an emergency charge point or anything like that? Also, a few of your engine would go down a treat! Cheers fella, John

Hi all, Rite here goes, ive had a leak comin from my passenger intake pulley, at first we put it down to a cam seal but later found out by trail and error that it's leakin from the pulley itself, i know this cause the cam seal is bone dry and its the third pulley ive had on!! :headvswal Heres the interesting bit each pulley that has started to leak, when u have it off and in ur both ur hands ur able to turn it, as in the centre of the pulley can turn within itself, so diff to explain without actually seein it, but before i put them on they were solid u couldnt turn the centre of them!! So my question is how in the name of fryer r they doin this!?! Its almost …

Hi all, Just purchased a gorgeous 300 (Wanted one for ages but always to much for me!) Anyway shes no minter yet although she comes with a full engine rebuild including 2 new turbo's, pistons, a bit of head work, HKS filter, high rise spoiler, digital boost gauge and a full blow over on the point. Well the paint work needs redoing so thats first, brakes are rubish and calipers seized so i have purchased standard rears and EBC front pads and discs. Really need to source new calipers though! Any ideas would be great. I want some wheels, love the mania ones in 18 or 19, want to lower her, later front end, and give a couple of engine mods for a bit more power. Basical…

Right, I got some new drilled and slotted front brake disks for the zed, size of 280mm x 30mm, its a 93 swb tt, now then heres me thinking that it would be an easy swap, but no, they're too small! when I fit the caliper theres only half the pad covering the disk, now I chucked the old disks last weekend and did the job this weekend, so now I wish I kept the old ones to measure them, but looking at the caliper in place the old disk must have been 300mm around about, these were not aftermarket disks or calipers either, they're nissan calipers. My question is, do the swb tt's have bigger disks than the lwb's, I thought all were 280mm across, but it seems that they'…
