Could someone do me a favour. I am going to order some silicon Hose from my local supplier. But I am 300 miles from my car. Could someone tell me the ID of these hoses and the length that they are so I can get it a little longer. Thanks in advance, Dave G

Just wondered what I can do....if anything about my speedometer. When I bought the car it was 300kph now its been changed to mph but still goes up to 300mph so looks daft! Also I want a glo gauge kit and I understand these go up to 180mph. Any suggestions on how to get it sorted and of course how much it will cost Thanks Rob

I'm at a los here... How do you remove the antenna base ??? I can't get my antenna all the way down. Not even by force. And in order to replace the antenna I need to get the antenna base of. but how. The screw on the antenna base is in the way.

Help!!! I have an auto box problem and can't figure it out. It seems that my car won't shift up into top gear on occasion - usualy after I've just used kick down. I'll be doing 70 plus (!!!) and revs are 4000 plus and I seem to be in 3rd (or 3rd overdrive. Has anyone else had similar problems? Also the power light keeps coming on even when it is switched off. Don't know if that's part of the same problem. Anyone got a clue??

Team........ Anyone got any pics of a neat I Pod install on a Zed. I have one of those little FM senders but it is Shite :x: Want to do a proper job but it look sweet. Any Pics would be useful. Chris C

Ryan Just updating my records on my car and was wondering what chip did you put in my car when you fitted the boost controller? It was the white TT fitted with the Blitz Colour. Thanks

H***JBJ parked in Astons car park Ipswich today 1st February. Red import TT and looks like it has just had some spray work done to it.

Assuming induction kit, exhaust and boost raised to, say 12-13psi.... What does anyone recommend? Install an Apexi AFC (or similar) or a chip, or have the ECU remapped? The idea being to avoid lean running and det, and get a few extra bhp too of course :) while not really planning to take the tune to any further stages. I await your wisdom... Yours, Chris

My HKS intercooler tuned up today, but i have no instructions with it so noooooo idea how to fit it.. does anyone have some instructions or know where i can get some from?

I'm new to the world of auto boxes as well as 300zx. Although i'm getting on fine with it I don't understand all the buttons that come with them. This is what I understand; can someone let me know if it's complete rubbish. 1st - when you need to stay in the lowest gear e.g. towing a caravan (or doing donuts!) 2nd - when you want to pull away gently e.g. in the wet/snow Power button - gearbox kick's down more often. Hold - hold in whatever gear you are in at the time e.g. going down a steep hill to increase engine braking. Overdrive - no idea! How's that?????
