Hi, Anyone know where i can get some Chrome kick plates? same as the original plastic ones same position for screws etc, but in Chrome? or something like it? Thanks oh also - have searched but does anyone know whether theres a 'how to' on fitting a Blitz sus induction kit ? 1990 Auto TT :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :)

Hi all Right I'm looking for idea's here!! Info the car is a UK TT 1990 the owner is a new member on here "Bob from Tealing, Scotland" He bought the car with smoking turbo's and poor running (Put down to the turbo prob) about 18months ago, He then had new turbo's fitted this stopped the car from smoking but it still run's like a Fiat Panda. The bloke that fitted the turbo's lost interest and the car lay for 6month. Anyway the car run's like it's really badly retarded starts and idle's fine but couldn't pull skin off a rice pudding. Turbo's appear to spool up but the car just doesn't pull at all boost gauge doesn't work so guessing. I've listed below whats been checked …

Reg was KLZ.... IIRC, Saturday :wack:

I have seen instances where the washer pipes are mounted on brackets just below the bonnet level using brake pipe to create the nozzle.. BUT... I want windscreen wipers that have the washer jets mounted in them :wack: Can anyone help please? Where can I buy them? or any help on this matter appreciated Thanks chaps :duffer:

My radiator fan seems to be running constantly, what checks should i do? How do you remove the E.C.U. Water Temperature Sensor, do you just pull it? Cheers David

Just secured some stock replacement rear light units to replace my cracked and chipped current ones. Ive seen this conversion kit.. http://www.directcircuit.com/ is there a UK distrubitor of these orI is there a way can make my own?I know im being tight fisted and not paying the 38 dollars lol but i fancy a challenge. Ive heard you can use the material srip light covers are made of for the internal lense.What else do i need?

saw a blue zed driving into grimsby today around 12.30-1.00

As above, Does anyone know the part number for the pair of these as ours are well and truley buggered? Thanks Rob

Ok, today I was looking closely at my rear stock spoiler and found that it is not actually cracked in any place and is in pretty good nick. Only the paint is flaked in places. I used a scrapper and got a small area of paint off. Now the question is how do I strip the entire paint of the spoiler with ease as using a scrapper will take me a few years ? I am hoping to strip the paint and repaint the whole spoiler afresh by myself. This is my cheapest option at the moment. Any ideas guys ?

Hey guys could anyone post a pic showing how they cut the alcantara to go round the corners - rear top is the worst as it's most visible. Just struggling to get it round the radius without looking rubbish!! cheers Rich

Look at this first post... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=67011 Especially "Rover 416 !!!!! - I was in a place called Bridgenorth, about 15 miles from home when i came across this tosser chav with his 12 year old girlfriend in the car with him and he kept swerving over the road so I couldn't pass, so I got in front of him and jammed on the anchors and made him go up the kerb - JOB DONE !!!!! went back that way home later and guess what ??? The car was there on the side of the road with a fooked wheel........ 1-0 to me then !!!" Makes me almost glad I don't have a zed, to be associated with stories like that :( I was gonna post a scathing re…

Started my N/A up for the first time in three months and it sounded like it was missing a few cylinders does anyone think this is any thing to worry about something died? or just where it has not been used for a while?

Doing a few jobs today and one was to change my steering wheel. Now have managed to get the 19mm socket off with a bit off force but for the life of me cant get the wheel off. :headvswal As far as I can see there is nothing else holding it in. Any tips would be appreciated. cheers ronnie

hmm im pretty much inept with mechanical things, iv looked at the engine by numbers thingy, and well it says resevoir (#3) so i take it thats where i fill it up? does the cap just unscrew? just there a pipe/lead sticking out of the top of it. hope this sloves the hicas, light goes out going downhill so i persume its this.

HI All, Ok took my original Tape player out today - already bought my cd player, so got the iso connector adapters and the arial - 2prongs into 1 thingy and great - all connecting fine.. Go to turn on the CD player aaaaannnddd.........nothing. :rolleyes: hmmm so i refer to the ..da.da da daaaaaa, manual (!) and it says to disconnect the battery - whoops didnt do that, so i disconnect the battery first and try again and still nothing, i didnt think it would make any difference tbh, no im thinking maybe ive blown the internals of the Cd player by not disconnecting the battery first? anyone had this before? Thanks Ed :duffer:

I was attempting my first service on the zed today, when i started having a few problems. firstly the spark plugs to a loooooooooooooooooooooong time, eventually done. Secondly i have no idea how to get the fuel filter off.Do i just yank it off the pipes, or what. Thirdly i was intending on fitting my induction kit as i thought it would be straight forward, however the instructions say that i have to remove the front bumper. Is that so. How hard is it and how do i do it??
