On commercial Road east london near the blackwall tunnel. Sweet motor shame they never put tubs in those!!! Rob

Finally got my gauge all rigged up. Running 73-75 around town 80-85 on motorway 90 when boosting hard, but comes back down. Not sat in any traffic jams yet so dunno what thats gonna do?!? Dont think theres any need to put WATER WETTER in cause it seems to be running ok doesnt it??

Three days ago my Z started displaying two intermittent problems - I assume both may be related and both appear to be electrical The Central locking has stopped working completely - Have tried my spare keys and no difference - so I know it's not the battery in the fob Have to lock and un-lock by Key - The Immobiliser cut out also requires two key fob clicks and that seems to still work - although somewhat hit and miss if I'm impatient with it Face off stereo - works ok - CD Player only - Radio is crap anyway - drive around for varying lengths of time - all appears ok - then an almighty feedback squeeling noise - much louder than the volume is set a…

Hi mate, Saw you posted this recently: I am registered to make no plates ie We have a License and Reg no logged with DVLA I think you will find as long as the font used on the plate is of the legals size etc the only other restriction is that the "personalised" portion of the plate must be no more length than "168mm x 20mm" any text in this area is to be non offensive and must include the plate manufacturers post code ! The plate must also bear the BSAU mark but that is not included in the designated are, that is usually printed on the acrylic somwhere. The law on plates is a mine field and will get worse. IE: Full Vin no will be on ALL no plates in the near futur…

Seems i need an ECU so my boost controller does not fry the engine beyond 9/10 psi. There are the JWT ones but they are $580, any cheaper ones but good too?

Thanks to those who aided my search for a Z (I didn't go for the import with the possible propshaft problem) I'm now the proud owner of a black, stock '93 UK TT. I'll post some pics once I've taken them - the recent rain has left it covered in a layer of dust :( I've just bought some PIAA silicon wipers (as recommended by speedemon) and a replacement scuttle trim (don't worry I didn't pay the £300 Nissan wanted for the parts!). Next on my hitlist are some new wheels, ICE (nothing works right now) and a re-trim. I was wondering if anyone knew of good places around Reading or surrounding areas for ICE and an interior re-trim. On the whole the trim is in great…

I'm guessing someone like Bantambunny can help here. I have a file from torrentspy with the above file tag, what do I do next to make it viewable?

Does anyone know the paint code for Candy Apple Blue ? Also is there a website that shows the different paint colours available like flip paint / sparkles etc. Cheers !

I have had a profec II B boost controller fitted by a zed garage but they did not do the unit settings as they dont have enough experience with it. Can someone please provide settings for the lowest possible boost for good economy and another for 9psi boost. I am being conservative with settings until i get my ECU chip changed. I have read what kirbz's settings are but they dont match what i want.

A Red ZX pasted me on Caerphilly Mountain road at about 4.30...Who is it?

the baffles in my centre box are going as it rattles when revved, will this be causing extra backpressure and can the centre box be removed and just have straight through pipes, or is the centre box used for balancing backpressure and will need replacing? Thanks Peeps

Anyone how much for a set,i need to get a set like yesterday:(this time next week i loose the unit where the car is and its still all got to go back together.....HELP

Hi Guys, I nearly always use the same petrol garage, a BP garage just round the corner from where I live. I have noticed that when I fill up my car with BP ultimate the petrol pump keeps clicking as if my petrol tank is full. Every time I get petrol, im fighting with it to get it to work properly. More often than not, I have to gentlty sqeeze the trigger in order for it to work, but takes ages to fill up more car! I have filled up elsewhere ages ago and didnt have these problems. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Would it be their pumps or something to do with my petrol filler?

I was walking from the station to Bartley Wood Business Park and was passed by a black Z. Looked to be pretty neet.

Fitting my amps tomorrow :hyper: Can anyone advise on the where and how to pass the live from the battery through the bulkhead? :confused:

Can anyone tell me the number I need to add to a Japanese date to find out our equivalent year? Many thanks Jack

Had a look at my front tyres today and they are not well ! The inside edge of both front tyres is completely warn down (to the white !!) but the outer edges are OK. Is this caused by tracking or camber please and if camber is there a way to adjust it as standard or do I have to buy something to do it ?? Wheels fitted are 18"s by the way.Need to get new tyres ASAP and don't want them going like these. :(
