Wheres the best place to fit the pipe on the engine. cheerz, mickey

i have cast calipers , my right one,sticks,where can i get secondhand jap speck and how much, i think thay are alloy, jon

Very impressed with this combo, car pulls very hard and smooth from low down, engine has a slightly different note and I'd swear my exhaust has got louder :confused: :cool: After my first trip noticed I hit 16 psi, so I've had to turn down the duty on the AVC-R to 60% from 63% to hit 1 bar - wasn't expecting that one. I'm also getting more popping than before and definately running even richer than I was to start with - roll on the tuning session at Thor :hyper: Only problem I'm still working on is a groan from the rear end when pulling off, a slight whine when boosting at certain rpm's, and a clonk noise when coming off the gas in a high gear at low rpm.…

I would never do it, but I have heard that it is ok to mix fully synthetic oil with standard mineral oil, due to the fact that "fully synthetic" oil is a bit of a "con", that its really just mineral oil refined one stage further, or something like that. Is this true? Thanks John

How much did a zed cost new, lets say around 1992. JOHN

Red G plate in IKEA car park Wedensbury. AAAAARGH!!! Why did I have to go to that HELL HOLE. Well, at least we got rid of the darling little bugger for a few hours. Only to be molested by other people's kids in that PLACE. Then a (grubby) red with twin ss exhaust on the Warwick road (A41) just before Chadwick End. I was trying to avoid mowing down a cyclist so didn't have time to flash, so if a grubby red SWB went past it you it was me!!

anybody know where the wiper relay is located on a uk zed , a friend of mine has his wipers stuck on, tried time control unit still same, tried wiper amp still same, can't trace relay location .Looked in manual and nothing showing unless it shares it with something else?

Has anyone tried that Williams F1 carnauba wax ? From what I remember in the early days carnauba wax was the ultimate, a bit of hard work though. John

Where or how sells the piping for the dumps (cheap) and which place is the best to put them.I've seen them under the front bumper which looks like a pain to do(easy life)or the other one is in the engine bay :confused:

bird driving it on 8/4/4 down church streen in stabbo notts at about 5:45 nice ! I want one :cry:

Was wondering about this potential mod???? Would there be any way of venting the exit air on the Intercoolers, and then directing that vented air to cool the brake calipers? Is there room to have some pipework to achieve this? Killing two birds with one stone?

After putting the turbos on my convertible :D :D :D I would have to say my favourite mod is my short shifter gearstick, it cost £25 to do and it really makes the car much nicer to drive! After that it is R33 brakes, cost a lot more money but I feel like I can drive the car more confidently now?

sorry guys,me again.when i first start my car the oil pressure gauge sits around 4 till it's warm and slowly drops to 0,is this ok?it's been like this for a while with no prob's but i don't know if this is normal or not.thanks for any advice.

can anyone give me advice.i'm thinking of decatting my z.she's a 1990 manual twin turbo(fairlady)am i gonna kill my standard turbo's if i do it?also is the power gain worth the risk?

took my car out last night for a drive after picking it up from the garage had the cats replaced with straight pipes am very surprised how much more low down power there is car also sounds much more beefy £70 well spent steve

Got my induction fitted and it really does make a difference! I didn't think I'd be able to feel it but I can. It feels much more responsive. When I go onto the throttle really lightly it seems to 'want' to go more. The most difference seems to be low down but I havn't really tested it out revving very hard. There definatly is a difference in response. Very pleased :D Now, what's next......

I have several options open to me now :/ help! advice? I can get my hands on a 56k miler for £900 including vat & delivery or a 40k miler for £850+ vat including delivery or a '90 complete car with a b0rked auto box on 60k miles (drives) with full leather interior (would be easy enough to fit my auto box on it and just break the rest of mine) for £2000 in your best opinions, what do you think I should do? :confused:

fitting new stereo had to trim the fascia to get the cage in fair enough but whats supports it from behind? suspect something missing as someones been in there before anyone know? cheers,Clive

Just received my new 18" alloys and tried to test fit one, but the stock wheel nuts are too big to fit in the holes on the alloys. Where can I get slimmer nuts from???

I'm looking at haveing the limiter removed. To do the job properly, I'm having the ECU chipped. I'm also told to obtain UK clocks. So what have I got at the moment? The speedo that is fitted on mine goes upto 180 (with NO incriments after that) and is in mph! I've seen a pic of the JapSpec having kph and upto 190. So do I have a UK clock fitted already or what could it be? Thanks.

Can anyone help me with a few tips for fitting the Indelglo dials (Vijay GB) that have been recently purchased?. Cheers.
