:rolleyes: Got a nasty metallic shearing noise coming from driver’s side front wheel (I think). Seems that its one metallic shearing noise per wheel rotation so guess something’s rubbing? Doesn’t sound like the usual squeaky wheel bearing. Brakes are real shite at the mo (coincidental- wasn’t making shearing noise when brakes were shite two weeks a ago), and just got smithy’s pads turn up today so will be fitting at the weekend. Got a spare set of discs just in case (as discs seemed quite worn). Given the above noise, anything else I should check? I don’t think the noise is brake related as it doesn’t change whether I'm braking or not. Cheers AL …

Hello, I've got one of chris get greddy's ecu's which I've not fitted yet (I'm guessing not a lot of point without boost jets or EBC, will do it when I put the EBC on) anybody know what level of boost the map on there lends itself too? I was thinking of keeping stock boost for day to day driving and 13-14psi for when I wanna go fast. would this be about right for the ecu with stock injectors? dont want to be running lean.... (or over fuelling for that matter, is stock boost OK when the ecu has been swapped?) cheers edit: balls wrong forum, should be under help and advice.... oops :slap:

any idea where I can get a couple of exhaust gaskets for my new catback system? is it a specific part or can I get a "universal" one and chop it to size? Cheers

Driving to work this morning when the following happened: Transmission oil warning light came on, Diff oil warning lights came on, Failed light bulb warning light came on, Battery light glows faintly, Turbo guage stuck to the far left of the guage. The odd thing is that all the above lights normally come on with the ignition key then go off when the engine is started. Now they don't come on with the ignition key but light up AFTER the engine is started! Car drives fine and the boost level reads fine on the AVC-R. However, it does seem slightly unhappier idling than before. Measured the voltage across the battery. !3v with engine off. 14.1v with…

I'm in the process of replacing my heater matrix as it's failed. I've linked it out at the head so i can run the car but i was wondering if my demist would still work? I presume it will, it just wont get hot.

UK white Z....Reg J**MPH Tesco, B'Leys at about 6.30 tonight (Mon) So was it you?

Anyone know the recommended tyre pressures for a Z32 on standard wheels?

New tank is on the way - have just booked it in to be done at a local garage(need the car for the weekend and don't have any spare time to try myself). It's going to cost a fortune to fit due to the time involved apparently - has anyone here replaced one before and if so how long does it take on average? I'd assumed it was just a matter of unbolting the straps and filler neck, disconecting the pump and dropping it down, but they have 4 hours quoted on their system. :eek: Cheers.

Hi guys Is it possible to fit the original chip back into a car thats got an aftermarket chip installed?? If so, where can I get hold of one? I'm REALLY struggling to get insured with an aftermarket chip fitted. 22 yr old with 2 ncb, fooking difficult! Thanks

Of late ive had a knocking under the front of my Z. After checking it out ive found the brackets that hold on the anti roll bar have both snapped (the ones on the chassis). Anyone have any ideas where i can get some from and why this would happen.

Parked up, last night (26/7-04) Blingo Paint, Blingo wheels & spoiler. Very Nice. :)

Nice looking silver L Reg A4 Slough West pulling off onto side road.

Walking home from the pub this evening and noticed a couple of Zeds in PC World car park taking part in a Fast & Furious style gathering (Novas and the like practising burnouts). Anyone going to own up to this one then? ;)

If this is removed will it cause problems,or will the hicas just not work[which is what I would prefer!]-what I mean is will the rear wheels remain 'straight ahead' at any given speed with no input from the sensor? :bow:

It looks as if my heater matrix has blown up this morning. Got into the car and it was fine, went into town, got out and the bottom of my jeans were soaking wet! Huge puddles in the foot well both sides. Managed to get it home ok but i'm not quite fit enough yet to start pissing around with it myself. Can i just kink the pipes going through the firewall so i can drive it to the garage? They look like they are branched off the water curcuit so it wouldn't restrict flow would it? Saves pi$$ing around with removing them and fitting a length of bypass hose... Thanks.

Hello all, Just bought an additional water temp gauge and was wondering how and where is the best place to fit the temp sender.? It came with a brass screw- in sender with two different size threads but I am unsure as to where this is to be fitted to get the most accurate temp readings? If you have one fitted could you let me know where this has gone on yours or is it case I have to buy some special parts in order for me to use it. Thanks guys. Ant :D

I have some idea of the above terms! But would like an extensive description of them and how they interact with one another and how you would go about adjusting each parameter to get the optimum setup!

Red j reg going down towards ludlow about 6.15

Just wondered if any bod on here knows if the column splines/diameter is the same on a Z31 as a Z32?-or in other words will a Z31 boss fit a Z32? Ta in advance! ;)

I have the standard UK rear wheels and I noticed that I have a crack on one of the spokes. It goes from one end of the spoke to the other but not quite meeting yet. I removed the wheel and looked at the other side and it is definatly cracked and not a surface scratch. I need to know if its possible to repair such a thing or just get another wheel?
