Well guys, correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember a thread with cheap modifications, that is other car parts that are compatible with the Z ( don't start going on about Lamborghini headlights:lol:) Maybe I'm just burnt out from work and can't find it?? Thanks... Rich

Hey Guys, i know there have been posts reguarding this before but just want to clarify thing. Both of my windows weren't working. After taking both of the door panels of the passenger side start to work (must have been a bad connection) but the driver side isnt still working. The power amp seems to work as when i press the window switch i can hear a ticking noise from the amp. I can control the passenger window from the driver side so switchs are fine, so it must be the motor right?? any way i can test it? Also my central locking isnt working and have read it might be the solenoid (where abouts isit located). there was an alarm fitted before which packe…

Hello guys ,just realised on my z the TPS reads 0.88v which i know is not good ...0.45v is the right reading but i can't get it, it only goes down to 0.88v and above, I've changed the TPS with another one just to see if i can adjusted but no luck..same as mine...now i'm thinking if is got anything to do with me converting the car from auto to manual... ??? any ideas???

Just need some advice,the hicas unit on the near side wing (right hand drive tt jap import) one pipe goes to the resevior and the other goes to the pump i pressume?This is the pipe i need,do nissan or common stockist stockist hold it or does some one have one while i source one.Any part numbers if people know of any would be great....thanks in advance

Quicky guys... what is an ideal voltage for the O2 sensors at idle? Also the injector fire rate. On my digital gauge/computer I have in the car it reads inj 1: 2.7m/sec ... inj 2: 2.5m/sec. My question for the injectors is. Should they fire at exactly the same rate... later during acceleration inj 1 went to 10.7 while inj 2 went to 14.0. Could this be dodgy mapping as the injectors are only two years old.

Last week Tom tipped me off about an item on EBay that might be of interest to me. However this item was in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Undeterred I checked the seller's feedback then promptly paid for it. Well in super fast time it arrived today and I have to say I'm delighted with my purchase. Another Tokyo Auto strut brace complete with the additional brake master cylinder brace. I've recently removed my other one from my white zed and can now get them both to the chrome platers. I'm a happy bunny so thanks Tom you are a star.

Some more photos of a great day out:)

I have had a good google but haven't found what I need. My gearbox is annoying me now, it is holding the car back, it hasn't "gone" but it is going. You can't rush it, I realised I have come to drive around the gearbox, Sarah doesn't want to be doing all double clutch revmatch downshifts so it needs sorting. A new 98 spec box is $1800 from the states, too much and I can only imagine the shipping costs. I would rather rebuild mine, the kits are cheap but I want to know if I can build my box up to 98 spec? Are there other options? I haven't found any, do supra boxes fit or similar? Obviously with modifications. I don't know quite how to sort this one. …

Mine has possibly gone, what one shall I replace it with? I've Been looking at some of the aluminium ones on eBay, any recommendations?

Lots of nice Zeds on the stand today - nice turnout guys, thanks for your support today :thumbup: The stand looked really good and as always at this show our presences caused a great deal of interest Here's a few pics I grabbed on my phone

Last thing that's really bothering me, ideally I'd like to get them replaced at some stage but can't afford to drop €200 on roof trims just yet. Is there any kind of textured paint that would do well as a cheap fix? I've thought of just going over the bald batches with Bumper Black but that would probably look cheap.

As stated in the "What did you do to your Zed" post, I'm at the stage where the engine is being pulled out in the coming weeks, The car has always been in line for a full respray in a Candy or Pearl Blue but as I've just gone mad buying all the engine gubbins and a few other surprises my funds are running low. I've decided to just paint the engine bay while its empty and I can then do a full respray on the body later on. My question is.... What colour / style should I do the Engine Bay??? for example, should I paint it in a Gloss or Satin?? Black / Grey / Cream / Blue?? Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed:blush: Thanks.. Richie

Hi folks hope everyones well , I know I dont post much but wanted to ask some advice :) I have ordered some spark plugs NGK and from the following advert: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230526710653?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AI I kind of presumed that these would do the trick as it said Z32 in the listing , I can only see a couple of people who have put them in there cars on here and nico and have heard that although they may fit they may not be great for the engine , possibly causing detonation . Also when I check on pretty much every automotive site it says there for the Z31 not the Z32 . So I have requested to return th…

where is the best place to get new rear wheel bearings from ?

Hey guys. The link above shows my zed at 0.9 bar of boost... However you can see that the boost needle waves from 1 bar to 0.8. The car also feels like... fast then slower then fast then slower again. At stock boost with the ebc off there is no problem. Currently ran at 0.6 bar on way home and didn't see a problem but it might be because I couldn't use boost much :) what could this be? Fault with boost controller? Vacuum leak? Open to answers :D

Hi all, 1st off, i bought my z last year off a friend as a project, it had been stolen from him a long time ago and hot wired, been sat for 9 year till i bought it from him. Ive been working on the ignition and have rejoined all the wires (a temporary measure until i no all is correct ) But seem to be getting no power at all to the ignition, many other bits work (lights, electric seats etc) but turn the key and nothing no dash lights, no pump noises nothing, check fuses and relays that i can find but all seem ok, anyone had this issue on a project? Any ideas? Cheers in advance Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

There is a 2 day meet at York Raceway on Jul 4th /5th with RWYB time available on both days. I thought I might go on the Saturday for a few runs. It is the same weekend as Jap Show at Santa Pod but TBH I am tired of spending all day at shows like that to only get 3/4 runs. York will not be as busy and RWYB people are well catered for at York. I know its not what most members do with their cars but you are welcome to join me. The launch surface is good for road cars/tyres so it would be an ideal weekend for any "first timers" to give it a go. Im always up for offering help and advice if needed. http://www.yorkraceway.org.uk/events.html

Hi all Been a long time since I owned my Zed and missed it ever since. cleared out my garage today and found my monsoon rain cover. Hope your all well and still own one of the bst all round cars. Regards Andy

Put a s/h replacement fuel pump in my UK TT z32 the other day as mine was whining, car runs alot better now but I have a fuel gauge problem. I had 1/4 of a tank when I replaced the pump, when I put the new pump in and reconnected the battery and started her up she went up to 3/4 full. Now as I've been driving it its been going up... I'm now showing over a full tank. I put 25 litres in and it hasn't moved. Any ideas? is a jdm fuel pump sender unit different to a uk one?
