Finally got round to buying the 27mm i needed, anyway upon turning the engine over, I found that for a start, the lines on the belt don't line up properly on all 4 sprockets, if I line up the leftmost one, the rightmost one is about 5mm out. Anyway, I carried on turning it round till the mark on the crank pulley was at 0 on the plate. At this point, all the cam sprockets lined up right, with the dimples on the intake and cutouts on the exhaust. I assume this is correct and at TDC on cyl 1? My concern is that the lines on the belt are not even close to the same position, they lined up about half a turn on the crank before. Should the marks on the belt match the ma…

what cc injectors do the z32's use? and do they fit the ca18det?

I was driving last nite on back roads when I went down a dip that had flooded, I did not have time to stop & the water went right up my bonnet causing the car to cut out (expected). I waited a bit 4 it 2 dry out a bit & then it started, but it is now really tappy, I was only 2 minutes from my house, so have not driven far. I was wondering could the water have mixed with oil as it the dreaded white stuff in the oil cap! :( I was thinkin of flushing it through to give it a good clean out. Any othe ideas please advise, thanks

Parked up in the sandy car park Seaton Carew. Looked very nice. First yellow z ive seen.

Flashed Yellow Zed on Hanger Lane thursday about 7.30 a.m.

u were going towards ealing brodway, i flashed and u waved :dance: good looking z dude.

'cos it was a nice day, i decided to take it off, and have a poke round godalming.. Saw a red Z 2+2 reg including OIL, and a grey import with aftermarket spoiler. Lived here for twenty years and never seen one!!! shame I was in the vectra not the zed, we could have had a rally! :bow:

Just spent hours cleaning my car for Sunday. It looks shit hot to look at, but when I took pictures of it, it looked pink! I can assure you in real life its not pink, but it just looks like it is!! Damn sunlight! This one does not look pink :)

I've just read a bit of the MOT guidlines here which is as follows: [Re: front "position lights", I assume means side-lights] Note: At least 50% of each lamp must be visible from the front or rear as appropriate Does that mean: a) when viewed from the front, it must be less than half obscured OR b) the light-emitting area of the lamp as viewed from the front must be at least half of total light-emitting area (i.e. the face can't be angled more than 60deg from the lateral axis). :confused: I've just converted my side lights to be in the US side-marker position, which means that there's greater light-emitting area from the side, but the light is …

Hi Guys, I am trying to get hold of some Greddy side skirts in UK. Has anyone got a website or number I could contact? Also I was wandering if anybody new of a good bodyshop in north west uk? and how much should it cost for a kit fit and spray....white??

Where can I get a front number plate mounting for a 3/4 Sized plate? Put a wings west front bumper on now need to ruin the looks by putting a licence plate on :wack:

I saw something on the net that might be cause for concern. 'When turning the engine by the crank there were no stiff spots'. When I turn mine there is, is this compression built up in the cylinder? Should I do this with the spark plugs out? What does it mean if there is stiff spots? Is the cylinder head warped? Paul

I've had many zeds in the past but for the 1st time I have just bought one with what looks like a mini ariel on the bumper. I've got no manual but I reckon is it's a visual parking aid. However when I try to raise it all i get is a mechanical sound but it stays down, much like a radio ariel that needs a new insert. Anyone know what it's called and how i can access the innards as there doesn't seem to be a locking/retention nut as there is with a radio ariel. Also, there is a parking distance sensor on the rear bumper but it is only one sensor and it's placed near the N/S corner of the bumper and it seems to only work at an angle of 45 degrees away from the car and not alo…

I notice that quite a few of the tuned zeds have their aircon removed. why not install some ducting pipes that would redirect ice cold air into the engine bay or around the intercoolers at the flick of a switch - is this possible?

Any ideas chaps?? came back to the zed after watching the travesty of Superman returns - tried flicking on headlights but noresponse - turning the switch on just gives me full beams. Check the fuse in the dreivers footwell and its blown. I replaced it twice but it blows immediately each time. So where do i go from here to get things sorted?

Hello again all. I fitted my VTA dump valves today, simply replaced the recirc's with piston type VTA's but I didn't plug the holes in the induction tubes which the recircs vent too...... Now, since fitting the car seems to be going MUCH faster the when accelerating ?? I don't consider that the dump valves alone are causing this so could this be due to the car getting more air flow through the openings in the intake ? ALSO (the bad bit), the idle has gone to pot.. The rev's move up and down between about 800 (where it used to sit nicely) and about 300 when it seems like it will stall. Could this be due to the holes in the induction too?? Also 2, will my car now be runnin…
