A while back I fitted a Momo Tuner wheel. As mine is an NA without cruise I got a bog standard momo boss to go with it. Everything works fine (and looks pretty damn good) but occasionally it makes a really loud noise when I'm turning the wheel. It sounds like its to do with the indicator cancellation switch or something but the click is way to loud and it feels like something is going to get broken! Anyone encountered this before? Cheers David

Been going through this thread on the SXOC group. http://www.sxoc.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=112768 Interesting - anyone here add any *special ingredients* to their fuel?

Am thinking about putting them on my 200 and I am wondering if they are different in any other way apart from width, and if this would effect their efficiency on their respective discs?

Hi, I've got the chance to get a TT at a good price, but it has some probs. Its been bumped at slow speed and its bent the front bumper, dented the bonnet and dented the wing, along with cracking one of the headlights. Its an auto, recently rebuilt engine and gearbox with silicon hoses and some other minor mods. The car has no mechanical damage, only bodywork, question is, how much am I looking at to get replacement parts assuming that they cant be knocked back into shape by a body shop. So, if your collective experience, how much for the bonnet, wing and headlight? or would it be a better idea to transfer the engine into my NA. Any advice welcome. Che…

Hi All, I've noticed that my front right tyre is wearing bad on the inner tread. I know that the problem could be my camber angle but is there anything else on the Z that goes which can cause this problem. Also when i have had to brake sharpe, i 'somtimes' get a rather large clunck from under the front of the car. Cheers ;)

L84 *** spotted in Argos carpark today @ 4pm. Uk spec TT with tailgate skin, anyone here?

im replacing my stock wheel with a momo evo millennium and have run into problems. im trying to work out what to do with the momo boss. i've removed the original wheel, opened up the plastic surround and unscrewed the unit with the black 'dial' on the front (i think this is the hicas sensor???) and behind that is a white plastic unit with a few wires (obv. horn/hicas/cruise) coming from beneath. (sorry im trying to upload photos but my software is messing me about! :mad: ) there doesn't seem to be anywhere for the momo boss to go. i suspect it's for a Z31 (a la halfords catalogue) but the chap spoke to momo direct and they assured him they would send me a Z32. im …

With a single exaused i was in a big green lorry :( couldnt keep up :mad:

I need some advice on the best way to go with this. I have a UK manual TT and have just been informed by my local garage that the seals on the underside of the car are rusted through. They have suggested that its more of a restoration job than a couple of panels, the hold underside of the car needs to be re-done. Has anyone had this problem? Should I cut my losses and buy another zed or get the job done? will it ever be in tip top shape once old rusty has taken hold? The engine is in tip top shape. Any input is appreciated. A helpless newbie.

Help :( As chunk was setting my Boost controller up after JD had fitted it :bow: The car is now alot faster as you would imagine, However !! the speedo reads well at low speeds about 30-80 mph but up from that we know the car is shifting alot quicker than she is reading ie: clock says 110mph but we know we are doing alot more than that... Can anyone shed any light on this please, as i dont know how fast the car is actually doing......:( The car has Jap clocks with the KMH-MPH conversion fitted.

Hi, There is no rear speakers in my Zed, but the wiring is all laid in for them. Jap import if it makes any difference. Tall order I know, but does anybody know which wires are for the speakers behind the centre consul !!! Got the front left and the front right sorted, as well as the lecy aerial, posy, negy and memory feed. Main factory plug is still there, but been hacked by the previous owner so its all a bit of a mess !!! :cry: JVC going in, but I suppose thats irelevant. Just need to know which colours are for the right rear and the left rear, + & - on the speakers, behind the centre console please !! Thanx, Alan.......... :bow:

looked a very tidy example, i work just up the road at mastercare

illegal number plates green side lights bold rear tyres more than happy with that :hyper: :hyper: steve

The red lever which can be checked from a photograph is for opening a parachute http://www.junauto.co.jp/democar/jb-z32/explain.html?en I know most have seen this before but its worth a second look. Just so you can see what a properly equipped zed is like! Many meter is located in panel:)

i know this isn't a z problem but could do with some quick advice from some of the many experts on this site. my 94 celica has just failed mot on emisions only. garage reckons it may be the cat :cry: results were fast idle co = 4.25% FAIL hc = 124ppm PASS lambada = 0.89 FAIL 2nd fast idle co = 3.52% FAIL hc = 119ppm pass lambada = 0.90 FAIL natural idle co = 0.34 …

My Z has somehow lost the use of the turbos. It's a standard UK TT with no mods to the engine. The boost guage is permanently just to the right of 0 (I'd say about 2) and does not move at all when accelerating. When I switch off the engine it returns to the left. The engine still seems to run fine and revs OK, but there are strange flat spots in the acceleration. I appreaciate it's impossible to diagnose a problem from a three line description, but if anyone can point me in the right direction as to what to check first I'd be very grateful, Many thanks Damien

Yellow One Going South On The M6 Today At About 15.oopm

Just seen a Black ZX n/a on my way home from work , parked at the side of the road. I would have tooted my horn but.......it doesn't work :cry:

Does anybody know what readings i should get off the conzult for auto line pressure. Also, noticed that when reading my Car Speed, Revs and TPS setting at isle on the conzult every 15 secs or so the speed spikes? and so does the TPS setting? only happens for a split second. Does that sound like a problem.

Ok so who brought another 300 into my village????

I went to the Milton Keynes Cruise last night :) :smw: Surprised to see 4 300's there. All looking good. Nice to see they all had proper rear lights. It was good to see a woman driving one too, as us girlies in jap cars are too rare. There was even one in a nearby carpark (making 5). I went as part of a jap group from Northampton, but sadly I was just a passenger, as my car is at the bodyshop.

Well, I decided to have a go at cleaning this this weekend. Didn't even manage to get the bloody thing off the car! Any top tips on how to do this? I've found a nice link on how to clean it once you have it in you hands but I couldn't even get any of the hoses off it! There is a hell of a lot of very brittle looking wiring loom around there - I managed to break one small clip on the loom in the process :mad: . Do you have to dismantle much stuff to get to this? Will probably have another look at it next weekend and allow a bit more daylight for the job. Any advice very welcome! Cheers David

anyone got any idea how much it costs to have done, and how much extra power i will get ?? :confused:

Had this quote for my 4 standard wheels to be refurbed: 4 x £58.50 (for each wheel) 4 x £3.50 (for caps) 4 x £6 (tyre refit) + £extra if damaged internally + VAT! so talking £320 for 4 wheels They have quite bad brake dust markings and the odd scratch or two.. and damage on the rims of the alloy They were going to improve the surface of the wheel to make it smoother - due the rather rough casting of the standard wheel (a haven for brake dust!) They could also give me a slightly different finish - sort of a speckled/sparkly finish... I was expecting less :( This quote seems steep to me but they are the only place I know around Milton Ke…
