Hi Anyone know where i can get a speed sensor for a z32 1990 import. Bought one of a guy ere but garage says it dont fit proper "its loose ?" cheeers mat :hyper:

bit probably black M1 north between J25 & J26, I passed you, we both looked, the you passed me, you gave the thumbs up and I gave the nod ;)

When im driving and come to a stand still, at traffic lights etc... i get a funny smell. It smells like clutch plate burning or brakes. The thing is, i drive an auto so theres no clutch. The box has recently been fitted from S.E and the gearbox oil is fine. Also i have checked all the brakes and they all look ok (renewed recently). I fitted new rear pads 2 weeks ago. What else can cause this mistery smell :confused: Any ideas. Cars running fine :D

Has any body got above type seats fitted into there cars and were/how much are they! cheers Dave

any pics of the above fitted as my suspension should be getting done! soon kill 2 birds with 1 stone! i got it from harve at billing but i had a few :duffer: :duffer: so dident take it all in :bow: cheers greg :hyper:

was in traffic the other day and slowly lost electrics, lights etc before the car finally decided to quit aswell. as i dont know the first thing about them was wondering if anyone was local ( rushden, northants ) to try and tell me whats needed. an hour before this happened the car got very hot and was then parked up for an hour before setting off again and was running ok for another hour at normal temp. the car also does not seem to be as quick as the last one i had which was also standard but was an import? i have tried car today and have all correct lights on dashboard but the car just clicks when i tried to start it. the car is also an auto if that makes a difference.…

A lot of NE zedders out over the weekend. Mujina (I think) in Bedlington Station on Friday? Then on Sunday a nice black one down North Shields/Tynemouth way, then I followed a nice white one until it turned down towards St. Marys lighthouse, Whitley Bay. Previous to that there was a LURVLY blue zed heading through Morpeth. Couldn`t get away from the buggers!!! They all looked good though. But then they always do :D

any body got a link or a how too guide as to how to remove the front bumper :confused: Had a quick look but cant seam to work out how to get the damned thing off :slap: HELP Please :D Neil

does anyone in coventry or surrounding area's have a MAF Sensor that I could test on my motor so that i can confirm mines dead?? want to be absolutly sure before I shell out for a new one!!

..especially when booting it. Any idea's? Pretty sure exhaust isn't blowing but will get under and double check that.

Red Zed just whizzed past my office window down the A4 towards Slough. Not gonna get any work done with this window seat overlooking the A4- especially when the sun comes out to bring out all the Slough Slappers

Since the rain last week my car is missing on one or 2 cylinders and stumbles and stalls. I think the PTU got soaked from my bonnet vent. I've relocated it now and cleaned the connectors but it's still the same. Shame as it's a series 2 type that's only done a couple of thousand miles :( Can anybody lend me one to test? It's my week off and the Z is running like poo. Chris.

If i had a fuel leak under the FPR could that cause it to run too lean with a jwt chip that its damaged a piston? as its started to smoke again :(

I cant be bothered to undo all the bolts on the pan to drop it and refiill it so I was thinking of buying a washer motor from Halfords and some tubing and suctioning out from the dip stick hole - I plan to do about 3 lots of drain refill cycles - Anyone tried this and can say how much you can get out in one go? Cheers.

When the car is cold it idle's around 1500,when it warms up it drops to around 750,when it gets hotter it goes up to around 1200 and seems to stay there until it gets cold again??????? Any ideas?

Morning All, Took the radio out on saturday to wire up the cables for the 6x9's and subs. All wiring in and ready for the install. While testing the interior light fuse blew. Replaced this and the one for the cig lighter (that must have blown before i got the car) and everything looked groovy. Fired up the Zed, no side lights, no dipped beam, no front fogs, no back lights, no dash illumination! All i have are the rear fog lights (on a separate switch), and my front lights are either off or on full beam. Indicators/hazards are ok. We've checked all fuses, they're ok. We checked where the bulkhead had been drilled to fit a wire (which we never used) but…

hi i am getting hot wheels after a half an hour or so's driving. they are 17inch alloys and recently had new pads put on. Now i also get a judder when slowing down from any speed, especially once the heat starts. The wheels are hot as in ouchie if you touch. I am supposed to be getting the discs changed tommorow but i thought i would just check first. is it a warped disc that is causing the heat ? or are the breaks sticking and causing it. any advise would be appreciated matt :mac1:

Allrighty chaps, installed some UK PIAA's the other day, the ones everyone was ravin about.. H3 platinum white jobbies, did the earth mod thing connecting the wires to the screw on the casing as instructed (used 8AMP wire for the earth if that makes a difference?) and its still not that much cop...they are supposed to be like an 85w using 55W bulbs or something? Is Jeffs upgrade the only thing that makes it acceptable on these? does he (or 'you' if ure readin this Jeff!) still do these? Ive seen the posts, just not sure what to do, the thought of getting off that bumper and taking it all apart makes me feel ill, and thats after doing the leather seats using zce…

Went out on the beer last night and wife drove home (Thats her job) and 4 the first time noticed that when u put the indicators on a spot lamp thingy lights up(cool) just by the front indicator lens so u can c where u r going (when d lights are on)...bloody excellent!!!

right need some help guys, do i go for the big brake kit from 3G or the standar ones, will there be much of a difference between them, are the big brake kits any good for £500

:confused: HELP! - My Zed's running a very max boost pressure of 6.4 psi with stock setup. Checked for leaks - none found. Changed a bent wastegate diapragm housing which I knocked when fitting the engine but this made virtually no difference to the max boost. Reset ECU but still same. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Saw 2 black Zeds heading east on the M4 at around 11.30 this morning (Sunday) between junctions 11 & 10 (Reading). Both in the outside lane (of course ;) ) about 2 minutes apart.... Could it be you? (Looking at Herman or Bigalz) :hyper: Richard ;)
