Getting quite excited now. Just had an email from the dealer I'm getting it from. Car has now arrived in Southampton and clearance papers have been submitted. Car is being delivered today or tomorrow. :mac1: On Saturday myself Richard Smith and Gio are going to have a good look over it and take it for a drive. So I'll put down a proper deposit then as I only have a holding deposit. :hyper: Sorry for this rather boring thread......

Can i fit a TT Radiator in a NA? Apart from the different mounting brackets do i need anything else? Is the pipe work the same? Cheers

Hi all, I replaced my battery last year with a nice Bosch one but recently have found that it is draining within 4 days if the car is not driven. Yesterday, I got a flat and within an hour, the battery was flat (I had the ignition on without the engine turning). Surely that doesn't sound right?? Any ideas if it's just a dodgy battery or could it be something else? Cheers Vijay

I need help! I'm gettting a glug, glug, glug sound coming from the bottom of the engine, it sounds like fluid moving. The noise used to go away once the car had a good run. Could a worn oil pump do this or could it be something worse? I have removed the AIV's so it can't be them, i'm hoping its nothing major!

Can anyone verify these are from a skyline (33,34)? They are for sale advertised as from a skyline and were fitted on a Zed by the last owner. I'm not sure the current seller could confirm they were from a skyline originally though (search for past posts). He didn't get them long ago. Dave

Hi, What wax/polish is everyone using? I want to get that wet look finish but not sure which product to use.. Regards, Matt

The car I'm getting has had an aftermarket steering wheel fitted, now it's an early one. Seen a number of cars in member's rides also with after market wheels. Since the early ones have the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel, what happens to the system when you fit an after market wheel? I see that airbag versions do not have these buttons, so is there a mod you do to convert the buttons to run another way? Also, do all TTs come with cruise control? Ta

Will a TT alternater fit a N/A? even though they look different

I know this has been posted about before, and I have looked but could do with some up to date specific advice. I'm considering a big brake conversion and saw an old thread mentioning the brembo F50 kit. Does anyone know where they can be bought and the EXACT models I'd need for the zed. I saw 360mm (I've got 18's),is this ok? Also looking at hispec mega monsters, same question. I don't know much about the dimensions that I need to look for so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance ,Dave :dance: :dance: :nana2: :nana2: edit: Any other makes also. I'd like to see some photos on the cars.

I have a 91 TT Auto (Import) and am about to start modifying my car as it is currently stock. I am looking at replacing my exhaust (standard one has a hole) and have looked at a company called BlueFlame http://www.blueflameperformance.com/ - Does anyone know what these exhausts are like? Any other recommendations? I am also looking at replacing my Front & Rear Pads & Discs and have a few questions: 1). Any recommendations. Am thinking about Porterfields pads, not sure about the discs (will get Brembo in the future but don't have a fortune to spend this month). 2). Is it worth getting braided lines and any recommendations? how easy to fit? 3…
