Pointing to a fault with my motor and motor relay. *** SORTED IT*** It was my 30a fuse had blown - Doh!!!!!

Well am the big 40 in a couple of weeks and the family are wanting to lash some cash on me ;) any recommendations for some 18in jobbies with a gloss black centre/spokes but with a nice polished rim/lip and of course these will go on a black Zed, so any pics would be much welcomed fellas ;) cheers smithy

Well i finally managed to get my z on a 2 poster yesterday and it was quite enlightening. I've got fancy shocks :hyper: dunno what brand (either Tein or Cusco i think) but they're height adjustable - via a large nut at the bottom of the spring that threads up the shock from the bottom. They guy who owns the workshop told me that this kind of set-up will nock and there aint nothing I can do to cure it (other than replace it of course). Does that make sense to anyone? The nocking sounds like it's coming from the top of the shocks. I've taken all the trim out of the boot and it doesn't seem to be anything "topside".

Right im really confused i think my autobox is on its way out, ive just done a search and gone through auto/manual threads peeps have had probs with manuals as auto, so do i go for manual or fast road auto wot do peeps recommend from their experience thanx.

i read the other day that the roof a/c fan can be replaced with a pc fan and a resistor, can't find the thread to find out what resistor it was, anyone remember cheers Chris

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?
