What problems does this cause?

Red h plate on A39 today early afternoon cant remember exact time lol ;)

hey guys just did a ecu self check on my brothers TT and we got code 11 and it does not start at all. any ideas what to do before replacing the CAS unit :rant: cheers ed

Hi a quickie can anybody tell me if the auto boxes are the same in the na and tt thanks mark

Hi all, I know there's a few posts about autoboxes at tho mo.. Just wondered if there symptoms of an autobox 'going'.. I only say as sometimes when i put my foot down, it doesnt kick down, and also tonight on my way back from work, im sure it was missing a gear.. then other times, it seems perfectly fine..dont know if its just me as its my first auto car.. its a '90 TT Jap Auto - no cooler installed, yet..also i've no idea when the autobox oil was last replaced, if ever, so is it just worth, getting it changed anyway? Ta in advance.. Ed

hi guys is there a difference between uk and jap rear shocks? i know uk cars are electrically adjusted (arent they?)

well japfest driving was a good way to monitor my mpg. With a mix of town and mainly A road driving (+ the burst of throttle trying to keep with the convoy on the motorway to japfest :rofl: ) i managed approx 22mpg. now i think its quiet good! btw remember i drive a non turbo swb manual ;) opinions please guys.

I have a UK TT Auto and I am going to upgrade the radiator, however we have an internal auto gearbox oil cooler. The majority of aftermarket rads don't seem to cater for us auto owners. Have any other owners upgraded? Did you buy a separate oil cooler? Thanks for your anticpated help. :bow:

considering fitting the racelogic traction control as my first mod to my Zed, rather than upping the boost. whats peoples opinions on the system? i was out in the car at the weekend and was struggling with it in the wet, the back end was stepping out all over the place and i was taking it easy - driving like a granny!!

Can anyone give me an idea what price a TT engine is? With or without turbos?

whats looking good or bad on here??? Any help would be nice :D

Southbound on the M5, Tuesday 23rd May a.m. - bout 7.15. Just passed the avonmouth bridge on way toward Gordano. Looked like a nice stock example. Gunmetal grey, possibly aftermarket rims. I was northbound - spotted you coming down the hill.

OK my car is off the road at the mo as I am doing some extensive mods on the body. I start it more or less 3 times a week and let it run for around 20-30 mins. The car has always had a slight tapping deffo from the top end for about 2-3 seconds on starting ever since I have had it. now though it seems to keep tapping until I rev it and then it stops. BUT! after letting it rest on tick over it starts to tap again. the noise isnt very loud and as I said as soon as I rev it to anything above tick over it stops? I know this could be one of many things but what do the experts think? PLEASE. ( the noise could also be described as a loud tick or quiet tap. :D or somewhere in bet…

Going down past the Grey Goose Pub , you flashed :x: I,ve seen two in one evening :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

As above , had a large rear spoiler

hi guys i would like to have my autobox flushed under pressure so that all the fluid in the torque converter too is changed and the strainer cleaned. can anyone recommend somewhere in northwest london I can have this done? darren

Has anybody got a border front strut bar fitted to there zed ive seen a pic on the web they look very good quality same as carbing .I belive these are made in japan can any traders get hold of border stuff thanks taff.

How do you know if you have this, what are all of the symptoms? How can you check if you have it? any tests you can do etc

hi again zmates koyo uprated rads where can i get one for a good price regsards mo

hi zmates my import Z TT auto when cold it takes about 2-3 miles before it warms up and the overdrive kicks in then i have all gears working ok, is this normal for an auto with overdrive? :( regards mo

But the Z back on the road today after 6 months in storage. I am getting some very funny hesitation problems around 2000 RPM.( In all gears, manual) If I floor the car through the gears she pulls away fine no problem If however I am cruising at around 60 the minute I accelerate slightly she stumbles along , loses power before catching and going and stumbling again This is the same regardless of whether driving using cruise con or accelerator. It feels to me my accelerator cable or throttle bodies arent operating correctly on minor touches from accelerator pedal Has any one else come across this, and how did you resolve Thankz R…

Hi All. I've decided I'm going to smarten the zed up rather than sell her and I fancy a 99 spec bumper and rear spoiler. A few questions.. Is a 99 spec bumper plastic ABS (I've not been impressed with Fibre Glass stuff it's too fragile)? And is there anywhere you can recommend for these items (e.g Best Prices)? Cheers Guys. Adam

I fitted a Mongoose catback exhaust to my zed (probably the worse thing I have ever done) and now got the dreaded smoke on tick over. If I put standard mid section and exits back on will it clear the smoke problem or is my rear turbo seal now totally gone? Cheers.

Anyone know where i can get some of these to match the side skirts on my 300zx? nothing too lary, just to make it a little bit lower as it looks a bit silly with just the side skirts!

Hi budding Zed owners. Well its amazing what you find wrong with a car when it is supposed to have been fixed and in a good working condition. So much for so called quality mechanics!!!! I have no power to my high level light, rear heated screan, or reversing lights. Is there a link with the three, or a fuse I can not locate. Thanks everyone. Barry
