Any body know if the auto twin turbo ECU is interchangable with none turbo ECU ( gearbox control not engine management) Ta

Hi all, quick question (probably a dumb one too!) Can i fit 235 tyres on the standard alloys? Thanks Ed

Just fitted my digital adjuster to the existing TC unit and had a quick mess about with it but it doesn't seem to save any of the changes I make if I turn the ignition off. I presume it should do or it's pretty useless.... Any ideas?

Hello, you can I know if my turbo are dead? Since I'e rebuilt my engine (forged piston and rod), my engine is making more smoke than my tyres :headvswal I've to seperate exhaust line and the one on driver (europeen) is making the smoke. My car is still running really great and powerfull. My admission is dry (o trace of oil). What can it be please?

due to the tt having a bigger flywheel i take it the starter is different also?

can they be tapped out or prised out? when replacing is any sealant needed? thank you! :duffer:

Hi, Took my speedo out of the car again this afternoon to fit a new convertor, but was wondering where the fuel needle should be when the "Low Fuel" warning light comes on? Yes, I know it shouldn't get that low, but noticed mine came on just as the needle touched the "E" bar on the scale. Is this right? If it's wrong, I'd like to correct it while the speedo is out and on my table LOL. Graham.

The SWB Z must be a fair bit lighter than the LWB, so is the 0-60 time much better? I've been trying to find a comparison on the net but can't seem to uncover much info on the SWB performance. Anybody tested one? I'm currently looking at a '93 auto SWB TT.

At Abbeywood retail park, wide ass. I was in the red 306 behind you.

Hi all, My Zed's HICAS light came on and we topped it up with Powersteering fluid. I went off for 2 days but now its on again. There doesn't seem to be a leak....it comes on and off and been doing it all day..dont think its the electrics playing up. Any ideas?? :headvswal

I fancy buying some (just for the sound as never had them before), but slightly put off by: when dumping (car normally dosen't) the system must bring in more air hence more fuel? Is this not a problem? confusing the ecu, un burnt fuel maybe.

I'm not talking about a trip to the beach or anything (although that would be quite nice as well when the weather warms up), I'm interested in getting my Z checked over and would like to know where abouts in and around Suffolk to take it. Thanks folks Gaz

i just discovered this today on my import and wondered, is it standard? is it legal? is it a good idea? when i indicate whith the headlights on the light on the outside of the indicator ( i thought it was a blank) comes on constant white and lights the kerb, pavement and hedge if i'm indicating left; and the other side of the road if i'm indicating right

will they work on an auto 300 i got a pair on but i've still got the standard ones on i've been told they are under the headlamp panel is this right and are they easy to remove and block off. any help is much appreciated cheers Chris.

Silver TT with aftermarket wheels coming off the A12 heading out of London at about 8ish (give or take an hour or so!!!) Tinted rear windows with exhausts fitted and a small silver sticker in one of the rear windows.

I will undoubtably book with Ryan and Greg to fix this but thought I would ask generally in case anyone has a genius idea. the rear oil seals on my tubs have blown. I was thinking I would get steel internals and the 360 thrust bearing done whilst I was there. I dont want to uprate the turbos as I simply cannot afford to replace or upgrade things like the intercoolers or head gasket. :( My question is this; How do I stop the rear seals blowing again as I have a de-cat fitted which caused the problem. I would like to leave it de-catted if I can. Surely a new turbo would just blow its seals again? :mad: Can someone explain to me exactly what it entails to …

how do you know if one of these aren't working (without a computer) also what symptoms would you have?

will they fit as my front speakers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alpine-6-5-280-Watt-Speakers-with-Tweeters-Free-P-P_W0QQitemZ5873112610QQcategoryZ18799QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem is it possible to get 6x9 in as the back speakers?

How much is an compression test?

As per title two Black Zeds at the track day Sunday, I was in the rather dirty looking black GTO.....anyone on here???? Martyn

300bhp in the wet has caused me no end of trouble recently. Want to try and stabilise the traction at the back a bit so i can stop driving it like an old granny with a micra everytime it starts spitting! Im thinking new rear tyres - any suggestions on make/model chaps?? Got any other ideas? I fail to believe you can run 500 brake+ engines and only drive them in the summer! Cheers Mark

i have managed to get a new set of the fiamm ferrari dual tone airhorns with the small tube compressor. there is also a relay with them and all the pipe work. if i use the live and neutral/earth feed off one of the old horns onto the bottom two spade connectors on the comprerssor is that fine? i take it i wouldnt need the relay then as the old horns go through a fuse and relay already? im going to fit today, just need to know that is ok?

I might be after a pair of Cobra Sidewinders or the nice new Misano's http://www.cobraseats.com/road/sidewinder.php http://www.cobraseats.com/road/misano.php Any idea where's cheapest and fitting options?

Got my Z TT Auto last August and it needs the full works - cambelt, liquids etc etc. Also want some new performance plugs and air filter. Does anyone know of any good garages that will do the work near Bromley/Beckenham/Croydon in Kent??? Id love to get it to ZTech but it wont start at the mo and the RAC have no clue whats wrong with it. This means ill be dropping it off there from the back of a truck! Cheers Mark
