Need some advice guys, Currently have an auto TT, but looking to get it converted to a manual. Have got a RPS TT organic clutch already, but in touch with a guy who is breaking a non-turbo Z32.

Just after some advice from people who have painted their timing covers. I will be using heat proof paint. Did you prime them first, what is the best way to get rid of the little scratches in the platic, lastly what's the best way to fill in the factory mounting holes for the PTU? & while I have your attention, what's the easiest way to smooth (not polish) the plenum. I was just going to sand it by hand, is there a better method? Thanks in advance, Jono

Can someone please comment on what the process is of swapping the standard auto gearbox handle to a Razo one. :confused: :confused: :confused: Looked everywhere to get the existing handle off but no joy. I have undone the small screw behind the handle but the damn thing won't budge. :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal Also do I need specialist tools/experience to install the aftermarket Razo or is it simple plug and play. :( :( :( Extremely grateful.

Just got the first bush out with the drill and hacksaw method. The bush came out with a steel cylinder attached, about 3mm thick wall. Still in the subframe is a thinner wall tube which has a lip one end, which has obviously been sawn thro, and a ring of rubber the other end. Question, is this part of the bush or part of the subframe? Ta.

I aquired a laptop from work as a freebee and the screen resolution is sh!t, its a tosiba satellite 4030cds with a bog standard 98 install. The highest resolution I can get is 800x600. It will go higher but I have to move the crappy mouse (in keyboard) to the top and bottom of the screen to 'scroll' it up and down. I have tried updating the driver but makes no difference. Is 800x600 the best I'm gonna get ? CheerZ Paul

Does anyone know of a site where I can get Braided Brake lines for a 96 Range Rover sport? My next door neighbour arrived at traffic lights the other day and couldn't stop! He sh1t himself. The current system runs the brake lines over his air suspension tanks which when the roads get a bit rough tend to damage his lines. I suggested braided lines and to re-route them away from the air tanks. Colin

Hello Can anybody send me a software for 91` 300ZX Auto TT, i wanna find out whats wrong with it, it dooesnt pull as it used to + it doesnt pick up under 3k rev many thanks

Hi UK gauges turned up today and I was wondering if they are just a straight swop or do I have to change any of the wiring. Darrell

Say you want to accelerate quickly from either a standing start or slower speed so want to stay in boost over a range of gear would you more likely acheive that in a manual or automatic. This is for a unmodded 300zx. Basically what i am asking is; can you change gear fast enough in manual to stay in the boost region, with out breaking the gear stick off? Or, can the auto box be relied upon to consistently change up (not kick down) at a suitable rev range to stay in boost when the accelerator is heavily depressed, and does this depend on the setting (power mode, overdrive)?

I have one of these never been used (still in it's box). I want to know what it is worth? and is anybody interested in buying it from me? Thanks a lot, Mike...

Hi Guys With my foot to the floor my turbo gauge only reads 5. Is this because I haven't got an aftermarket gauge and therefore the original one isn't correct, or do I have a problem? Spencer :headvswal
