Anyone know who owns this TT manwell? It was on a H-plate I think. few pod gauges etc. quite tidy Zed.

both dark grey 1 with big rear wing one standard, both looked very nice examples, good to see some more floating around the area, also a nice and rare coloured ivory one spotted a few weeks ago, hopefully mine shud be back on the road soon, currently driving round in a blue s14a :hyper:

ran 3 terrible times yesterday at santa pod. need nos ! ! DOes any one who can supply the correct kit for a na z??? :bow:

Hi Guys My headlights when on dipped beam don't work. All of my other lights work including full beam. Both head lamp fuses under the bonnet are ok and the bulbs are fine, but my battery has since gone partially flat indicating some sort of short circuit /current drain. Are there any other fuses relating to the headlamps other than the two in the engine bay? Also, could it be a faulty relay? If so, could I test it by swapping it with one of the relays next to it? Many thanks Jon

Dont know who put the sodding tint on the rear windows but its not a very good job - hardly any tint and just 3 or 4 bands of thin film Took it to 3 windows tinters who have all had a go at removing and they've all said the same - need car for a day!!! Price goes through the roof. I dont know if tint was done in Japan, but its a complete bugger to get off. I spent about 25 mins picking off an inch worth. Anyone any better ideas - tried steaming with one of them guns, isopropyl alcohol, and white spirit. is it down to a scraper blade, and very carefully cut around the demists? Cheers

Was checking all my fluid levels last night and my Power Steering Fluid Reservoir appears a little on the low side. Took it out and the HICAS light on dash board flashed up but then went out again. Later took it out again and no HICAS warning light coming on. My manaual suggests I might be needing to top up the PSFR. I don't have any so what should I be buying to top it up, any special brand etc. It's a Brit spec Manual TT. Thanks guys

Quick question on Intercoolers, which has proberbly been asked a thousand times. Car is basically stock apart from Stillen induction kit & Vailside evolution exhaust, is it worth up grading the intercoolers at this point? Bigger injectors also planned for the near future too. Should i wait to get the injectors first or will better intercoolers be any benifit now before the injectors, & which intercoolers do you recommend, have read up on intercoolers and it apperes too big an intercooler(s) can have a negative effect, i understand Greedy intercoolers are good? Many thanks carl

Hi, I want to replace my old exhaust mounts with some stiffer polly ones. Anyone know which ones are for the Zed. Bart

Cast your mind to the top pipe where the return coolant pipe goes into the radiator. It goes over a black tube and clamped onto it. While fitting my temp sender unit I found this to be damaged, DOH!!! can this black section be changed or is it a new rad job? Just I have read a few stories where they have broke off completely! If I can change that bit and stop it that would be good!

Evening all :duffer: I need to know what the end production date was on the Z32 please. From what ive found so far some say its 96 and wikepedia says japan finished production in 99. Whos gonna be a gent and let me know please :wack: Thanks in advance :duffer:

Saw a black Zed about 1:30pm today down the A21 by the Pembury roundabout heading to Tunbridge Wells. I was in a Yellow Zed going the other way. J

OK, here we go. Anyone on here removed an injector the Dremmel way, i.e. ground the plenum away to get at the screw under it. Have read the Aussie report on this and not really convinced. Perhaps I should remove plenum and do a bypass at the same time, unless of course someone knows better. :mad:

Hi people, I need to change the spark plugs on mine so just got a quicky. Platinum or Iridium??? Cheers peeps.

i just came back from santa pod there was loads of zx's going down the track anyone from ere go down

My zed is due an mot next week and I know of a few things wrong that im getting round to fixing. The car produces some smoke on idle from the left bank, its whiteish and since using datascan my left o2 sensor appears a little lazy so im guessing it might be this causing it. As soon as you drive the car with some throttle applied the smoke increases slightly then stops completly even when booting hard in all gears or idling along whilst driving. Also, ive got some front brake type squeeking which is either a warped disc (most likely) or a wheel bearing (trying to confirm which). My rear diff oil cooler is leaking slightly and ive had no time to disconne…

another one near me i went passed you as you were getting into your z nice wheels j*** hmv

asked several times before just wondering whether anyone has the answer now. I want to stop the interior lights dimming when I put my side/dipped lights on. I know you can adjust interior light brightness with that switch but I want the a/c display to stay at full display and not dim down. I done it with the clock - I cut a wire (cant remember which now) so when I put lights on clock stays bright but everything else dims. Cheers

Hi I need a front brake pipe Thats the hard bake pipe about 15cm long that is fixed to the back of the front brake caliper. I dont think it matters much which year or if the Z is Jap or UK, I believe they are all the same. Anyone who is braking a car should be able to help me ?? Either I can come over and whip it of or if you can do it that would be great. For cash of course. pmme

i have had a zx before i know they arnt this slow. THE PROBLEM when i put foot down and reach up to the last revs. the car stops accelerating, so i let go of accelerator and it starts back moving past 100mph very slow. Does anyone know the soloution to this. also my hicas light flashes sometimes. WHY WOULD A ZX HESITATE AND STUMBLE AT TOP SPEED..... :dance:

Can Anyone remember a while back there was talk of removing the Plenium and making one central to the engine with just one Throttle Body??? There was pics and can't remember what the subject was to do a search. I really really need those pics if anyone could remember that would be geat.

Driving out of Alderly Edge on Chelford Road, private plate, ** XXL Seen at about 3 ish on Sat 24th June 2006.

had my car put on a rolling road today and anything over the standerd psi it starts to be lean i.e 11psi then 1bar. the chap who done it knows his stuff and said it could be a fuel pump problem and might need a uprated pump. so far i have nisstek stage 2 chip decat apexi boost controller apexi exhaust system at 1bar it was 367.2 at the fly wheel is it normal to change to a uprated pump or is there something else that it can be.it does have a new fuel filter on it any help on this please kev

My front passenger side wheel is squeaking and its driving me crazy! It started a few weeks ago and has gradually got more annoying and slightly more persistant. It used to be only when braking and then just after (so was thinking maybe slightly sticky caliper on that side?) but now is all the time the car is straight or turning left. As soon as i turn right it stops (so fine on islands!), unless im braking and turning right. When driving straight or turning left the squeak is speed dependant and it sounds to me like the disc that side might be warped and its only catching every rotation? Is there an easy way to tell if its brakes or wheel bearing?…
