Doubt anyone will claim this as their's, but thought I'd tell you anyway. Saw a mint white Z on Las Vegas Blvd while on hols last week - SWB, big chrome rims, two big pipes and tunes blarin' for some roof out posin' down The Strip. Sounded sweet as! Fumbled to get the camcorder out in time to catch it, but the lights changed and it was gone before I could say "what lens cap?"!!!

Crashed a 1991 jap import manual twin turbo and unfortunately only on 3PFT insurance. This is the second crash and this time I wasnt being a prat. Engine is fine (just under 60000 miles) and the gearbox is good aswell. However all rads at front are knackered (and oil cooler etc) and the front bumper / bonnet are done for and it has done one light unit and pushed the front right in destroying the fan etc and bending the front cross member right in. Im looking just to get rid of it now and would like either some idea of what its worth or offers if anyones interested in a project. After the accident i managaed to drive it 2 miles home and it was fine. (where the cross member…

Just want to put a small opening in the door on the dark and mysterious world of mapping a chip!!! So here are some I know! Fuel Ignition timing Load TPS AFM Knock sensor What are the others and the parameters for intergrating them?

I am not sure I understand their description of this part. Does it come with the Yellow connector? (the bit I need to replace). What do you think?. http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=24078-00001&Category_Code=

One for any Skyline boys knocking about. Can anyone confirm if these measurements for a front and rear set of Brembos (off a Scooby) match those for R34 Brembos?

My trendy Blitz boost gauge has started behaving badly. It the Racing Meter DC series with the electronic stepping motor and the separate sender unit that can also be connected to water temp and oil pressure (I think) gauges. Is there anyone nearby with the same model that I could do a bit of swapping over bits to see which part has croaked ? Pretty please....

The fan seems to be on the whole time, is this the way it should be? If not do you have any idea why it would be? Cheers

been trying to read ecu codes! can you check them only once? i lost count then did it again and it read 55 all clear also with the screw on ecu which position should it be left in? as it was mid way when i found it!!!

Just got my first zed and what can i say fell in love with it. Have a slight problem, when i hit around 100kph i am getting a vibration from what seems like the front passenger side, someone suggested it may be the shock but anyone got any ideas how i can check this before i take it to a garage and get ripped off ? thanks

Having a had a good look at this stuff, and after buying it, sniffing it, tasting it etc, ive decided to give it a go in my engine. Its been in about 4 or 5 days now with no adverse effects, and on a possitive note it seems to of toned down the ticky noise that the engine used to make from time to time. so far so good......... .......watch this space.

I'm always sceptical about these things. Has anyone used this in their zed's. Does anyone think it would be a good idea. I may have a sticking valve so I was wondering if this would cure it? Ivan

CAN YOU GUYS HELP WITH THIS ONE PLEASE? :mad: :rolleyes: just running up after engine out! when i start from cold it only idles about 900rpm after few minutes suddenly stalls and wont restart! take spark plugs out to find all 6 are vary wet with fuel, dry them out and it starts but then intermittantly does it again?????? also sometimes on warm up rpm fluctuates between 1000 and 400 rpm!! who do i manually extract fault codes?? cheers guys steven

Silver TT import in Grantham yesterday (16th)about 11:40, on Harlaxton road, near the fire station. And today (17th), saw a silver NA (i think) near the roundabout at McDonalds, Fosse Park Leicester, around 4ish. And for once I was in the Zed today :D

Keep getting water dumped on feet inside the car! Oh and a fog coming out of the vents at odd times!! Any ideas :(

As far as I can gather! 1. Reduces the charge temp 2. It has minimal flow restriction 3. It is not so big that the air will take too long to fill it. All of these have to be kept in balance obviously but are there any other factors?

Gonna have a go at a knackered one first, any advice?

Well that time as come.. :hyper: Z in bits waiting for new Turbos, I've plumbed for TD T28's with ballbearings etc etc. (Cheers Smithy mate) Smithy tells me the Tubs come with a flange to be used to make a new header. The small cast header that goes between the tub and the downpipe is now to big for the huge tubs. So a new header is required. Pitty coz smithy had a set made but are for uk and mines a jap. So just so you understand me.. Engine then header (manifold) then turbo, then turbo header (Turbo manifold) and then downpipe. If like me, I thought the downpipe bolted to the tubs themselves. So now for the questions.. 1, Who's done what re the tub header…

Does anyone know the paint code for an imported metallic black Z32? Cheers
