Never really heard this talked about, so, what do you guys think of engine coolant / brands and do you even use it! If you do what brand do you use? and do you use water based? or non?

Ok, Once and for all best buy, best function, best practicality? And I would like to try and retain a low boost period on start up until the car is warm. Cheers

Hello again, It's becoming a major job planning all the stages of modding my car, but I'm slowly getting there... next stage is performance, already done the filter (blitz) and the catback exhaust is on its way. I'm planning on a remapped ECU and a greddy boost controller so I can have sensible boost (12psi??) most of the time and silly boost (14-16psi??) on the odd occasion to try to eek out the life of the standard tubs as long as I can. Now I'm a little paranoid about blowing things up as I have done in the past on other cars by going about it in the wrong way (massive boost upgrades and no consideration to cooling) Along with fitting a set of oil …

Hello all, I have a JWT chip (not ECU just the chip) which I was going to put in my car this weekend (a 1993 UK spec, TT, manual with a 1994 engine!). Now, I've heard that the later cars changed their ECUs. Anyone know when this was from? Anyone else got a 93+ car and chipped it with a JWT? I don't know much about the chip - it was just described as a JWT for a manual TT. The code on the chip is just the manufacturers details for the chip. Doubt an EPROM reader would tell me much either - or am I wrong there? Anyway, just wondering if there IS any differences with these things and what the consequences could be if it's wrong. Cheers, …

Saw a Z with a single grill in the head light panel and was wondering where i could get a similar panel? I've seen some on Z Centre, but the only single grill on there is located at the bottom of the panel. I'm after one at the top. Any help would be mostly appreciated (if it helps i think the Z was silver). Thanks

Hello I have tested and reset TPS which was out before it is set at 0.44 volt and rises to 3.89 volt at WOT there is no jumps in the reading just a steady increase. But with the ignition on at between 0.8v and 1.30v while moving the accelorator linkage back and forth i hear a clicking or vibration behind the dash/firewall which is the same noise i get when the engine is running and it hesistates....if i start the engine it bogs between 0.8v and 1.40volts and makes the clicking noise until you got beyond 1.40v then the engine picks up and the cicking goes away. Any ideas???? would i have a bad relay or control unit other than the ECU that would cause the noise and…

Howdy, Any one from here going to Ten Of The Best on Sunday? Think it's down near York. Taking the z down for a run out. It hasn't been on a long run since I got her, so gonna see how she performs. Not entering tho, she's a manual non-turbo SWB. Hoping for some sun so I can dazzle people with the bright pearl yellow paintwork :) Hope to see some of you there.

Last two days the Zed has lost boost, was ruinning 14ish psi with boost jets, now its back to standard boost, maybe very very slightly over. Cant find any leaks or hoses off or anything amiss? Any ideas or anyone had the same thing and found the issue? As normal many thanks for any input you can offer.
