does anyone know what colour the wire is for the electric arial in the cntre consul?? ive got a swb non turbo 1990............. thanks :mac1:

Even though the M.O.T. does not check for a spare tyre, or even if there is one it can be bald and flat, is it correct that if you get stopped by the cops you can get done for not having a spare or for having a spare with not enough tread or underinflated? Thanks John

and can i relocate the cruise control buttons? thanks

Anyone know about the loophole that has now been closed for post 97 Jap import cars ? All i know is Supra TT and GTR Skylines (amongst others) will not pass the mot or SVA any longer - is this correct ? If so what about other cars - specifically TT or N/A ZX's etc? I mean, if i want to import a car (say a 200sx) thats post 97 - will i get away with it, or not? Im hearing lots of rumours about taking the cars back to standard for the SVA etc

After fitting a JWT filter, should there be much difference in fuel consumption?. I may be imagining it but seems to be depleating faster than usual. I also disconnected the batt when fitting so I guess the ECU is still learning, would this have an effect?. Cheers.

After installing a APEXi Boost controller, what Psi will i get?

Just quickly need to know if the side windows are tinted, if so what colours are they for a Jap import 1991?

Wheres the best place to get dump valves at a reasonable price?

Is this normal? If I open the bonnet up and rev my engine (1990 NA Jspec) I get quite a shake at high revs (and not even that high). Quite frankly the old fiesta I drove this weekend was more comfortable because there is no vibration through the seats, steering wheel and gear lever. Am I missing something on the mountings?

Does anyone know the difference in length between the LWB and the SWB? Thanks Ch

Anyone know how many litres per hour the stock TT fuel pump can deliver? Cheerz Steve

Now i've had a twin turbo for about 3 weeks and used to it i need to make it faster!!!! Can anyone give me a rough idea of cost and recommend product for a boost controller.I also think i need to change the ECU slightly,not sure exactly what but again some advice would be good. Finally what kind of difference will it make to 0-60 or top speed? Cheers alex@tcsoho.co.uk

has anybody got a picture or something on where the standard dump valves are hidden .what does it take to remove them ,what will I have to replace :confused:

I just bought my first Z32!! It has a grade A turbo gauge installed, as well as apexi boost controllers and apexi air flow cotroller. I installed a sound system in it and now the grade A gauge stays at 1 bar, but the apexi boost controller still tells you what bar you go to. Is this a electrical connection i have Disturbed putting in the head unit or something wrong with the turbos? Also when i am giving her a bit of a blast, 4 gear crunches. But the 4th gear works fine driving normal, any ideas?

Hello, Just started to retrim the tweed panels with vinyl, i have just finished the arm rest (lid) as this is the easiest bit to remove and am now going to start the rest. Is there any site of details of how to remove the other panels as i dont want to try it and break anything with out someones knowledge. Thanks Ant. Really pleased as managed to get 350 miles out of a full tank :p instead of the usual 200 :cry:

Anyone know? I have read it on here a few times but can't remember or find it. Thanks.

As I am having problems getting a sill for a SWB would it be possible to just get a LWB one and cut it to fit or would that take alot of strength out?

Hi, I'm coming back to the UK this summer having spent the last three years in Japan. I will be bringing my car back with me - a 1990 TT 2+2 automatic. Because the car is more than 10 years old I believe it only has to pass a basic MOT upon arrival in the UK. Right? My questions are: 1/ Where does the MOT have to be done? Before the car leaves the port, or somewhere of my choosing within a specific time frame? 2/ What modification do I have to make to the Japanese car to pass the MOT. So far, my understanding is that the following need to be changed; please correct me if i'm wrong: Speedo Rear fog lights Fuel filler size adapter …

......pulling in to the petrol station. Red Jap spec with darkened rear lights and VERY dirty! naughty boy. Typically, I was in the fa,ily car again.

Just fitted an amp in the boot and wired it all up with fat wires all the way to the doors and rear speakers. 2 questions 1. Is it OK to just disconnect the speaker outputs from the head unit now the 4 channel amp is wired to the speakers because thats what I did? 2. It sounds great till I start the engine then the alternator whines thru the quiet bits like a 747 taxiing. Do I need a capacitor or is it because I routed the power lead along with the speaker and phono leads?

On the way to the lake district on friday and my milage stopped going round! - started working again over the weekend and then stopped again! I only did 17miles all weekend from blackpool to the district and back!! WHATS HAPPENED Thanks Tom

Well I know I asked a lot of questions before I bought my boost controller. Today I finally got round to fitting the remote into the ash-tray. I'm fairly pleased with the result, though the fit of the lid needs some fine adjustment. I had to file away more of the ash-tray casing than I would have liked, so it doesn't quite line up the way it used to. I had planned to take an hour to do this job, but it has taken more like 4 with all the hassles! (the plastic is well brittle and cracks if put under any strain). But anyway, here, for those who are interested, is the finished deal. Boost controller remote neatly hidden beneath the still functioning ash-tray lid. …
