Hi guys, My long-awaited import has arrived at last but I'm having speedo issues. The car is a 1996 JDM TT and so doesn't have the boost gauge. That looks lopsided to me and I don't like aftermarket gauges so I bought a set of JDM instruments from a 1991 TT to swap in. Unfortunately the connectors are all different! Is it just a case of connect red to red, blue to blue etc or is there something more arcane I need to do? Or was there an intermediate section of loom in the early cars that I'm missing? Alternatively would it be better to fit the boost gauge into the old speedo housing (and if so how would I go about that?) As always, really grateful for any he…

I have this skyline diff. Im not sure which model/year etc it came from. Can anyone offer any factual info.???? Here are the facts that I do know. Its a 4.11 ratio. 37/9 teeth. Its fitted with a LSD of some type. Its in lovely clean undamaged condition. I "thought " it came from a R33 GTST that my pal bought to get an engine from... but it doesnt look like one I have seen on ebay?? Doing a google search it looks like a GTR diff but the prop flange on mine is different. Ultimately I want to sell it but it would be good to know what it is first so I dont miss sell it. Any info appreciated....................... Check out the pics

Has anyone cleaned/refurbed these, what did you use? don't fancy paying the $110 for a new one!

Started the car this morning seems to be running a bit lumpy in the cold mornings at the moment but when it reaches temperature vastly improves,this morning not more than half a mile it stalled and won't start.I was at a junction turned the wheel and just the load from the power streering made it stall. The only recent work carried out was 2 weeks ago changed one injector as it had failed (the dremel method was used) so nothing major was disturbed but it was running rich before and appears to still be running a little rich Will be checking the temperature sensor when i get it home first but any other ideas would be great,thanks

If I want to have my rear side markers light up, where can I get the bulb mounts from? The holes appear to be the three-notch type that slot in and then twist slightly to lock into place. Thanks :)

well the zed is off to get its final fettling, a swap of the gearbox ( not that there was anything wrong with the box when it went to Andy Duffs ) but between there and zedworld it managed to get cracked ..Jeff fitted it with another box during the rebirth but its whinning like a bitch in 1st 2nd and 3rd so now Jim is going to do what needs to be done , change gearbox, sort out missfire with a new loom, find teh persistent oil leak, and hopefully find the boost leak , as well as get her a new MOT ... she should be going down today and hopefully in a few weeks i will be a happy little zedder again .......

Its icy cold this morning and it was raining through the night. So, this morning while driving to work. The car started mis-firing like one or 2 cylinders had died. Was happening in third gear initially but then all. Power dropped dramatically and then was just mis-firing in general at all revs. Limped the car hear but ain't got a clue what could be wrong. Seems to be idling okay. checked the coil pack connections and they seem OK. Could the cold weather be the cause? I am very low on petrol too

Is this possible and where would I get replacement glass from? I have mint condition tailgate with blended lip spoiler that is being ruined by my poor glass. Want to change all over to blue tint UK spec. What about replacement moulding?

Hi All! I've been having a hissing noise on overrun as the revs drop down. This Only occurs between 2500 and 2000rpm. It will go on for as long as you are off the throttle, and in between those revs. It even happens when in neutral and the engine is revved above 2500 and your foot taken off the accelerator. Does anyone else have a similar noise?

I know there are loads of threads on speedo conversions, but that's partly my problem. See im dyslex and i want to check that i haven't got the various ways mixed up. I have a jdm tt i also have a spare uk tt Insturment cluster. Can i just put the uk speedo (not just the face) in my jdm cluster? Will that convert it to mph? Failing that could i put the jdm odo/rev counter in the jdm clust to achieve the same?? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated :-) Lee

I am designing my quarter window glow panels and need to match the font up as close to the rear '300ZX' font as possible, has anyone got any ideas? Thanks

I would like to say a big thank you to both darren and Allan for providing such a comprehensive professional service with attention to detail, Initially there where a few issues getting the correct colour as its a BMW Individual and quite rare but they went above and beyond to make sure the colour was 100% correct before starting the job and they didn't give up so thanks guys. I would also like to say that anyone who is shopping around or thinking of having there zed painted rust sorted should stop shopping around and just send there car to Bodymech as you will get a great friendly knowledgeable service at an unbeatable price I live in the north of scotland a whopping 55…

What are peoples' thoughts on running 9.5" width wheels on all four corners? The wheels I've seen that I quite like have a concave face on a 9.5" width, but a flat face on 8.5" - I'd like the dished look on all four corners but is the bigger width a bad idea on the front end (for any reason)? Thanks. :)

Hi peeps Seen some leather seats and interior on gumtree and I've made the offer what the persons asking and it seems to have gone??

If so or if anyone knows this person and they still have them wondering if you can pass a message on if there still available saying I'll have them and can make payment straight away. Thanks guys

Hiya everyone Thought I had cured this but seeing as the last few days has been pissing down heavily i still have leaks! Seems mainly to be coming from where the Targa roofs meet the body of the car. I have checked the drainage holes and pipes and all are clean and connected as they should be. I have also changed the nylon runners in both Windows and the Windows close firmly against the rubbers. I'm getting water behind the drivers seat in the footwell and it's also dripping down the drivers pillar where the Targa meets the body of the car. Another leak is also on the passenger Targa where it meets the body. Looking at each end of the targa there seems to be so…

Some of you may know I have been trying to source a good, none smoking drivers side turbo. However, does anyone have any experience with reconditioned units? Can anyone recommend someone that can rebuild stock turbos reliably? Thanks

Saw this on Gumtree in Putney area if an one needs it. Its £95. (Not mine but I know someone was looking for this)

Suddenly need a second zx car for drifting! :huh:

I was going through photos of 2 TT engine bays, and i think i'm about to ask some daft questions, but if i don't ask i'll not kind out. Below are 4 photos i picked out. The black car is a 91 TT manual and the blue one is 95 TT auto. In these first 2, what are the items circled in red? Where is that vacuum pipe going to, thats connected to the balance pipe (arrow pointing to it). The black car doesn't have these things, and i can't seem to see a vacuum pipe connected to the balance pipe, theres nothing theres, shouldn't it be at least capped? Same goes for the power steering stuff in these 2 photos, is it something to do with HICAS? And why has the …

The BOv's in question are Apexi Twin Chamber. Been thinking about my BOVs as I get stalling issues after being on Boost and dumping the clutch. Pretty sure it's cos of the BOV's. O was looking back through some really old posts and found people saying the adjustment screw show be at around 5 - 5mm. The first question I have is whether its 4mm out of the end of the BOV or 4mm out of the nut that goes on the end (which I don't have). Just wondering what ya's think. I have toyed with the idea of getting rid in the past but then decided to keep as I do like the sound lol.

If you have hicas lock out bar and don't want to waste money on na pump you can make one from tt pump Take off the back plate. Remove middle chamber and cut the shaft Drill a bit large hole in the back plate to fit the shaft Reasemble the pump And cut the back plate so it does fit the bracket
