ok ive increased the power on my Z zorst, induction, SGP UD Pulley, ECU & boost controller setup for 1 bar and I can feel my clutch starting to slip when using the power. So any advice on which clutch kit to go for? I intend to fit a decat kit at some point and i dont think my stock one will take anymore. Cheers Pete

Hi All Tested The Intake System For Leaks Today And Discovered Air Coming From The Dipstick Hole. I've Checked The Pcv Valves (which Are New) And The Seem To Be Working Ok. What Else Could Be Pressurising The Crankcase?

:confused: Hi Chaps, I've heard a lot of banter regarding de-cat pipes and was wondering if they were a good idea or not. Yes it would be nice to have a little more horse power and let the engine breath a little better but is it gonna put to much strain on my standard turbos? My car has been pampered all its life and I'm worried about harming the old girl. Your thoughts please gentlemen Cheers GLENN

Is this common at all, jsut noticed carpet a tiny bit wet and went I jacked it up and looked there is a little rust at the bracket for the seat, easy to fix, just wondering if anyone else has seen this?

I have just, for the first time noticed a Ding Dong sound (like if the lights are on with the door open) when driving along? Now, I have never noticed it before but I think it happens when I reach 65 MPH? so is it a speed warning on Jap import cars? If so can it be disabled? Thanks :bow: Vince

quick question.. i was told that the reason the roof trim on my zx is black is because the japs dont like it chrome, so they paint it.. that right? as some of the trim on mine is showing a very nice chrome strip under it and coated with some sorta black paint?. also the grill that the front wipers goes through is a little tatty.. is it ok to take them off clean them and then prep them and then paint them pearl yellow or.. should i just buy a new set of blacks. I also want to take the spongy rear spoiler off to check underneath and cleant it up, how to remove this? another thing where can i get a owners manual and a service manual..sorta like a hayne…

Waving and flashing at me from a white truck while I was driving my black zed near Colchester \ Marks tey on Friday...

Bit of a long shot, but I was just wondering if anyone had much experience of the Kenwood head units from a few years ago that have a motorised face plate that rotates around for security, or can be detached? I have one in my car but the motorised bit has stopped working! Head unit itself is still fine, but it means I can't access the CD loader, or take the faceplate off anymore! Anyone got any suggestions, other than taking a chisel and a large hammer to it!? :D
