Ok so i'm getting some nice blue/red glo dials. 1.What resistor do i need 20k or 22k? 2.Where does the resistor go (pictures would be good)? 3.Do the needles still light up? Doesn't seem to be a definitive write up on this... Any pictures or help on the above would be great Thank you

Is there some way that these can be fixed. When I try to retract them, sometimes they get stuck. Especially the passenger side. If I dont gt any replies it will be WD40 (didnt want to try it last time as I had just washed her :headvswal ). Thanks

Vejay do you post the white daglow emblem ?

any ideas as to why my tickover sits at 1.5K? Sometimes (i think after I have switched engine off then restarted) it will sit at about 800 but 9 times out of 10 sits at 1500rpm. I dont wanna adjust the base idle as if I knock it down to 800 then Im presuming when it would sit at 800 it would stall. Cheers

anybody know the easy way to convert the log files from datascan to be able to read them easier :confused:

Ok, well I've searched high and low, and finally found the diag for power mirrors in the online service manual ('Body' page 40) Problem : Passenger mirror does not fully extend to 'clunk' when operated like the drivers mirror. Has a little play in the 'out' position(only a cm), which can mean it gets moved slightly by wind. Drivers side is fine. Am thinking it's just something thats needs tightening. Questions: Anyone else ever had the same problem? Are the mirrors easy to take apart? Have you got to prise the mirror glass off with a screwy? Or do you wiggle the screwy side to side? How much fo…

Had a small water leak at the back of the engine, you could hear the odd fizz fizz sound as it hit the exhausts. Replaced the to hoses that go into the heater, but its still there? The new hoses arnt leaking and as far as i can tell nor is the little one just below them (reached down to see if I could feel any water). Anywhere else it could be from, seems to be dripping near center at the back of engine, slightly towards the passenger side.

When I start my car there's a squal of belts. I've ben told I need to tighted the aancilary belts. Can anyone tell me how to do this or know if there's a how-to anywhere? Cheers gents!

I got my Zed a couple of weeks ago and the speedo wasn't working, I got some useful advice from some of the guys on here (and Luke at Zcentre) and people said that it was probably the kph/mph converter playing up... ...Today I took the dials off etc (never tinkered with any of my cars before, but feel that I should get used to it!) and I took the converter out and re-connected the speedo wire as it was when it came over from Japan. It still doesn't budge an inch :headvswal Apparently, it's now one of two things - either the sensor on the auto box isn't working or the speedo itself is dead. But Zcentre said there isn't any easy way of finding out which. …

Hey. Potentially stupid question....how do I determine the year of my Z32 via the vin number?

Bought a new turbo timer today and removed the old razo one which has been dead since i had the car.Fitted new one and it worked straight off......brilliant!!!!! :D However...when i turned key to off it wouldnt let me take it out of the ignition barrel until timer counted down and engine was off? its an import tt and apparently they have an ignition lock which prevents key being removed unless u press a small button on the barrel.There must be a way of fooling this lock into thinking the engines off so i can get the keys out or the timers a waste of time....Any ideas? someone must have fitted one....cheers..Jase

when i hit 4-5k rpm it seems as if the car is choking, any ideas?? cheers dudes

Has anyone got these from luke (z centre ) having spoken to him the layout is that the outer ring of small bulbs are used as brake lights with the inner single bulb the tail light. Has anyone changed this around and used the outer ring of lights as the tail lights and using a higher wattage bulb made the inner single light the brake light ? May all sound confusing but to anyone who has done this you will understand ! Thanks.

As above, does anyone know/recommend a good automotive upholsterer that would re-cover my steering wheel in leather? Preferable in the midlands, but would consider anywhere. TIA Dave
