does anyone know the max size tyre i can fit on 8.5j wheels thanks in advance jim

Hi peeps, just a quickie would a roof of a LWB fit a SWB???? ta.

If I get new turbo's do I have to get it remapped?

after a run out in the z yesterday i found 1 of my rear tail lights not working. After a quick search i found a post by SMW about the stop light sebsor in the boot.I have checked ll the wireing and all seems OK. Do these things have a tendancy to go?

If you remove the inside door pillar trim (where the top of the seat belt is) you will find a screw. This can be tightened to stop the door window rattling when the door is shut. Well, i over tightened the fooker and sheared it right off (doh!). Now, the window is even more rattly and lets air in at over 80mph. :headvswal Anybody got a solution to this?

Checked the search for this but had no luck :( . Can you change the front wheel studs without removing the disc / hub & everything else? If so how difficult is it & are there any pit falls I should watch for. ;)

Hello Gentlemen!! NEED SOME HELP!! My window wipers, air con, electric mirrors wont move or fold in and worst of all the clock as stoped tickin!! :( Checked fuses under dash all seemed ok, but couldnt c any fuses or relays referring to the above problems in the engine bay!! Any idea wot else to check cause its startin to get fookin cold with no heaters!! Oh and shes a SWB TT if thats any help as i know theres diff between UK+JAP!! Cheers.

Have done DIAGNOSTICS check on autobox, came back all fine. Should i still get it checked out by a transmision place in case theres a mechanical fault with it?

hi, those seats look fantastic! How much did they set you back? red leather on a black car looks fantastic!

am thinking of getting a Z (manual TT) i am worried that it may be a little expensive on running, so my wuestion is this: if i buy a Z for say 4500, and is too much for me, is it easy to sell? or will i be stuck with it for a while? PS Currently a have black S13 facelift, and i know that if i wanted to sell it, i would go straight away for a price id be happy with. ;)

Is there any replacements for the aerials that we have on our Zeds?? It looks crap when its up. Is it possible to fir one that runs along the rear window or something?

Could someone let me know how heavy a pair of targa roof bags weigh please.

Just installed my HID xenon kit for the dipped beam, they are a lovely blueish white colour but when i switch between dipped and high beam OMG its like being at a disco :hyper: !! High beam is a dull yellow halogen and it cant be very good for the HID's to keep switching on and off all the time? Does anyone know any way of modding the Lighting system so Dipped Beam always stays on ? even when you flash your high's ??

can anyone recommend a nice-fitting tube for the boot? The one i have is too big and makes it awkward even putting the roof in. My amp is only a blaupunkt 100wx2, but powerful enough for me. I'm not too bothered about massive volume,just something deep and rich at medium levels. cheers.

I noticed tonight that my rear number plate lights were not working, I havnt checked the bulbs yet, but I think it would be unlikely for boyh to go at the same time, I have tried to find the fuse (to no avail) I cant find any reference to the rear number plate light fuse, anywhere. I need your help Guys, Please. :bow:

:headvswal The story so far. Got over here in Germany and have to have Euro lights. Got hold of a pair, one Euro and one American. Fitted the Euro light but the American light had different connections Etc. So i decided to split one of my uk lights and then put the American insert in and the American lense on. Went for my light test and fookin failed again ffs. Why i ask?? Surely if the inner insert has been put in and the lense put on ; it should send the beam in the opposite direction. Or do i have to change the dome lense that goes over the dip beam? :headvswal Or does anyone know of a euro passenger light going. Its driving me mad as i've been here for months and …

Hi My car has the Modena?? Ferarri replica wheels that were fitted as an extra in Japan. Does anyone know what are the correct tyre pressure is???

does anyone know the dimensions of the SWB? i know its 172.3 long, but do not know how wide or tall!

But how do you get rid of it, just done a lambo conversion. I have searched but only found this from Vijay way back.............. I spoke to Luke @ the Z centre and he told me all I had to do was cut one of the wires. Just incase anyone else needs to know it was the red/yellow one on the row nearest the locking clip on the connector. I've not got that colour? :confused: Will it be OK if I just take the bulb out? Cheers Pic of mine inc.

Invoices have been sent weeks ago, some people have paid - you know who you are .... Thx Andy

Does anyone have the number for and transmission places in the northeast so i can check if my auto box is broken as thats what people think my problem is Mujina recommended a place called dipton transmissions (i think) but can't find their number. Im just hoping its not broke!!! How much is a manual conversion - all in(parts labour etc) just in case it is broke as ive heard this is cheaper than replacing the autobox.

for all of you who are thinking of changing wheels on your zed http://www.tyrerack.com put them on your zed on your PC :)) pity the zed is black though ..everyone knows they are the slowest ones and far too "night rider" and usually owned by gays or fat bald blokes ...........................ill get my coat :))

Having done loads of searches it looks like this is the best oil to use, so what sort of price do people pay? the cheapest i have found it is £45.94 delivered, is that good or can some1 tell me somewhere else to get it cheaper?

hi, i have a g plate Jap TT auto, made the mistake of moving it the other night so it was in sight of my flat but did not leave it running long enough. the next morning (430 AM -2 degrees) it wouldn't start. called the AA- had flooded. took it for a long run and seemed ok, started it again later and still ok.the next morning.........wouldn't start again, flooded again (this time i was not at fault!!!). took it for a service at whifbitz in N.london and they can't seem to find the prob at the mo. it starts 'on the button' when warm but takes some turning over now to start at the current freezing temps....... any ideas peeps??? P.S it has had the service so plea…

If you were to register an import car online for an insurance quote and there were two options: 1. 300zx turbo 2. 300zx import turbo and you went for option 1 (which was much cheaper) is it likely the company wouldnt pay out if it were stolen? what if you had a producer from teh police? would tehy accept the insurance certificate as valid? cheers again
