Hey guys - next problem!!! I got a 1990 non turbo manual IMPORT with original wheels but i got a problem. Recently discovered they're handed but i dunno if the front and rear wheels are physically a different width, app they are on the uk models but i dunno bout the imports. ANyway my serial numbers are 2x 40P00 L and 2x 40P05 R is this correct, cos they're all over the place. What does it all mean? I'm guessing the L and R stands for left n right but that would make two wheels with the same serial number on the same side of the car. COMPLETE COMFUSION HERE!! Help!! Thanx Rich

I've got a greddy oil plate adapter from Chris but he can't get me a greddy 52mm oil pressure gauge to fit it and apparently other gauges sensors wont fit into it. What are the alternatives? Is the stock sender a cause of inaccuracies on the stock gauge, and if not can you fit something to that or maybe replace the sender. Any help would be appreciated as the job has been half done now for 4mths and I'm P*ssed off trying to sort it. Plus the garage is waiting too. Dave

is it feasable to buy an auto boxed car and swap the gearbox out for a manual? Is it just a case of swapping out the old auto box and dropping in the manual box clutch etc or is there more to it..(ie floor pan mods...) im desperately looking for a decent z with the cash to spend but only turning up auto TTs and really want a manual..... also what sort of cost would the manual box clutch and stuff id need to finish the conversion go for....? just working out if its worth the hassle...

intro: my engine is goosed and you may have seen my request for an engine in the items for sale section. i've recently heard of the VH45DE engine which can can be used as a replacement.. ive looked up this engine on the internet and have found out that it is normally aspirated and that the engine is not available in a turbocharged version but can be supercharged. the engine itself is 4.5litres V8 unit which provides a dramatic increase in the torque as compared to the VG30DE counterpart. here is my dilema: i) the engine will provide endless amount of torque but is it really justified as a replacement for the VG30DETT engine as both engine provide th…

Got absolutely wipped when racing a Merc CLS 55AMG and am feeling the need for more power. At the minute I have the following spec: Blitz SBC-ID Boost Controller (Yet to Fit) Uprated Fuel Pumps (Fitted in Japan) Katimoto Racing Exhuast I will be buying an Apexi filter and Auto Box Oil Cooler this month then a Chip shortly after. Assuming I run 14psi ish what kind of BHP will I be looking at @ the fly? Then what additions after this will give me how much more power?

I would appreciate any tips and advice on the Apexi BOV's. Ideally from owners of UK auto's with them fitted. I have fitted them to my Z and as far as I can tell they are working fine, as I said any pointers greatly appreciated. Thanks :bow:

The car has a few minor creases in the doors so I phoned up a couple of the paintless dent removal firms, who seemed quite confident they could do something about them, depending on where they are situated on the car. Is it worth doing? or does this process sound good and not really work? Will a standard body shop ever remove minor dings like this or is the only real way to get the panels filled/re-painted? I'm going to see XL in Coventry who did an excellent job on my last zed but I'd like to have a better idea of what to expect before I go.

where to get replacement bulbs for the z do halfords do em or am i gona have to find a website and get em delivered???????? cheerz replys much appreciated... :hyper:
