what's the general consensus for outdoor use? Car doesn't fit in the garage, and I'd like to protect the paintwork as much as possible after bodymech are done with it. 1) Get a decent outdoor cover? 2) Forget the cover, but keep it well waxed 3) an other?

OK guys, I've been away for some time now (although always lurking in the background), but at last I am back :) Some of you may know the last time I was on here, I was planning a full restoration of my j-spec lwb auto TT. Well due to a practically non-existent budget and busy lifestyle its took me all year to finish building a 26'x12' shed, solely for the Z. Started the car yesterday evening for the first time since November 2013!! Would you believe she started on the first turn of the key (after circulating oil and building pressure), although with a hunting idle and burst brake line somewhere. As said this is a full restoration, including, Major bodywork reno…

Now, I realise that some parts suppliers/breakers may not be intimately familiar with the car's they strip... but I still find myself hard pressed to see how anyone could imagine that this is how something left the factory: Steering wheel!! I mean, c'mon......

Hi .. car has been running fine apart from steering gone slightly heavy. Problem I have is yesterday all I done was put back the rear view mirror and started the car and the battery light was on dim. Car had a new alternator about 6 months ago and its showing 14 on multimeter. Pulled some codes and it came up with 34 det / knock sensor circuit . Pullled up to a friends turned the car off and the car wouldnt start just turned over . Checked the fuse box under the bonnet and made sure all relays were in firmly went back to the car And it started?? Now I'm getting code 21 which is ignition signal circuit??? Battery light is still dim while driving about. Do…

Went and had a look at a 300zx today and had a good nose underneath, looked pretty rusty and I am sure the chassis looked twisted...anyway, just so I know what to expect when I look under these cars in terms of typically what rust I might expect to see, where, etc anyone got a few photos of their cars underneath? Set me a precedent for what I should be looking for. Ta very muchly in advance :w00t:

Have been looking at various options on monitoring what's happening with the Zeds power plant and how to best protect it from any potential problems. Has anyone used these gauges from AEM? Not only can they monitor more than one item at a time, ie can have boost and AFR on 1 gauge, as well as log 3hours of data, but they can and this is the bit that caught my eye The gauge includes a low side output for triggering a failsafe strategy in the event AFR falls outside of the operating window (example strategies below), and an RPM input to log RPM for tuning purposes. Decent explanation of how/what they do Seems like reading this it would be relative simple t…

Hello again people, been a while. Finally starting the ball rolling to get her done... Does anyone know of where and cheapest to get a full, and I mean full poly bush kit for the entire car? NA rear end so including the rear track arms. I've search a lot, and emailed, but can't seem to find an actual complete front to back kit. I'm refurbishing both subframes whilst spaying the engine bay/shell. Cheers, Tudor.

Hi, as far as I can remember the dip lamps are set up for H1 bulbs, which has 1 blade, yet the plug has more than one, am I missing something? or am I getting confused with the main lamps. rich

If I were to get a USB bluetooth connector, do you think that would work if I plugged it in to a consult to USB connector? Just wondering if that would work with programs like torque or datascan or android and that

Anyone got a 370cc injector?

I am dremmel-ing to get at my No 4 injector (91 TT auto) I have ordered a 460cc injector! I've read standard ones are 370cc so will the ordered 460 be ok to fit or not if all other 5 r 370s

So the car is off the road till the Spring. In the meantime I am planning ahead. I sent the ECU to Noz and it has had a nistune chip fitted. Also got an uprated 320lph fuel pump. Next thing is injectors. I don't think I want mega power, well not yet anyway, just safe reliable power, so the fuel pump is good for very high hp, so I need injectors which will be good for higher power, but will work fine at a reduced duty rate for my current needs. I'm thinking 470 or 555s? JECS seem to be plentiful are would these do?

Hi guys, thought I'd post up before I start investigating tomorrow. Hit a huge old pothole and bottomed out, car is running very rough, hunting idle, running rich and spewing black smoke under acceleration. Got no EML, I have a laptop and consult to plug in if that helps? I have a theory its an o2 sensor but not 100% Have a video of it here, 1993 UK TT. [video=youtube_share;BfdhPPOynj8]

Hi guys, After an age waiting for paperwork from customs and DVLA my import has finally arrived from Japan! It's a gorgeous black series 4 TT with a manual box (promise I'll post some pics when the weather improves and I can get her clean) and I am totally smitten. The engine, gearbox, body and all are fantastic, so I've only got a couple of little things to sort which I'd be grateful for advice on: 1) Neither of the front speakers makes more than a whisper. It was like that with the original JDM stereo and is the same with my head unit. Is there a connector block or amp somewhere that could take out both fronts like this? The wiring to the head unit looks…

A couple of weeks ago my car just stopped and still won't start, since thenI have changed the ptu to a series 2, I have power to all the coil packs and checked their resistance, there is fuel getting to the plugs that not a problem. I took out the CAS spun it by hand and checked all the injectors are firing but still no joy. The spark being emitted seems bright but someone said it should be more blue than a white spark plus my air filter may have got wet but surely this would give some result when cranking the engine rather than absolutely nothing? Anything I might of missed? No error codes on the ecu test either

Does anyone know if there is a power steering fuse? Looked under bonnet at the two fuse holders and cant see one.. Problem I'm having is that the steering has gone stiff. It's does work kind of but very stiff. I have drained as much fluid as i can but couldn't get to the rear hicas unit as I haven't got a ramp and mine is very low. I have refilled with ATF 3 and there is no air blockage but the steering is still stiff. Also the belt was removed for the oil pump 're fit and the mechanic assures me the belts are tight And tensioned correctly.

Anyone running with these GT30 GT3076 GT3076R turbo chargers are thay any good
