Hi, Anyone know where I can get an 'Insane' Nissan badge for the headlight panel? I've seen these Insane badge but when I e-mailed them to ask if they would fit, they said "I dunno". (Very helpful!!) Is the 200sx S14 front Nissan emblem the same size as ours?

OK, I have recently fitted a new front bumper to my car (1990 TT UK Spec) and have no side lights ? I thought that the smoked rectangular lights were Indicators and side lights incorporated with each other, It turns out that they are only indicators. I spoke to Luke today (Z Centre) and he seems to think that they incorporated both on vehicles from mid-1992 onwards ? I had a problem with my tail lights not working and checked the footwell fuse box and the 3rd fuse from top left was blown after replacing it with a 7.5w insted of 10w (All I had) that blew I then replaced with a 20w (All I had) and getting them working I noticed that I had no side lights, I now h…

Hi, this may sound a bit stupid but how can you tell when your coolant is at maximum capacity (ie. filled up to the top) ??? I tried to use the wierd tube thing but I couldn't really tell where the mark was! So I kept filling it up until it suddenly started p*ssing out from underneath the car! (not out of the top as I expected) Is it just me or is the 'tube thing' very hard to read??? and how do you know when you are coming to the 'top' of the filler? - ie. in most normal cars there is a filler bottle where you can see when you are about to reach the top. Sorry for such a silly post but it's just a bit annoying... Cheers

Does anyone know if one of the above exists?. I have had a search on the web but have failed to come up with anything. Cheers.

Can anyone help me get the following part numbers, for a Jap 2+0 Auto TT: Master Brake cylinder Brake fluid reservior cap Thanks in advance. Alex.

If so can you tell me anything about them,sorry about my first post sounding silly but I just bought my first Z and one of my tubs has failed. Thanks Martin

All, I'm going to get a cooler fitted for the transmission - I kow lots of people have done this - can anyone let me know how much it cost - where they got the parts from - whether they bypassed the standard cooling or used it in-line. I'll be doing this imminently so all suggestions welcome. Ta :duffer:

IT......I am thinking of getting some but how many of you are running them and any regretts!!!!!! cheers Dave ps what have you got :dance:

As I was approaching Sterling Corner today 2.30ish - saw a speeding yellow Zed large rear spoiler - I flashed it from my metallic grey Zed. So was it anyone from here? Geoff.

Started the Z this morning after a hard frost and it was a struggle, so much that the CD player needed re-codeing. Checked the battery acid level only to see no fluid. It took 750ml of distilled water and I am very perticular on checking the oil, water, transmission fluid etc but just didn't remember the battery. I would hate anyone to get caught out on such a simple thing.............Dohh! Cheers Ady

I am awaiting delivery of my JWT chip and boost jets and in the mean time have installed an aftermaket boost guage. When running the car, the guage is only reading 6-7 psi. I have read some other posts regarding safety boost at 7psi but what this is, and how to i get it up to the stock 9psi before i install the new chip and boost jets? Import TT Manual Cheers Bazz

93 UK TT White smoke all the time from both exausts, I thought it might be condensation but it still smokes even when after half hour drive this has now been like this for about 2months but now its getting warmer (a bit) and very few cars on the road are smoking. No oil in water or oil leak/loss but if i were to do a compression test would this identify a cylinder heas gasket problem?? I really cant see it being a turbo problem due to the way i have been driving recently (but u never know) recent full service inc pvc valves fuel regulator & dampener car drives as it should ?? if you have read this far your input would be appreciated ;) cheers

I need help, I'm looking for a Z, but what do I get, obvioulsy it should be TT but should it be manual or auto. Advice please :confused:

Sounds strange but here you go... I have a twice occuring problem with my new tyres. I have VERY broad two-piece Volks Racing alloys, tyres being 255/40/17's and my problem is that since having my new tyres fitted BOTH have come off the bead and TOTALLY deflated at different times and when re-fitted no evidence can be found as to why this has happened! Luckily both times Ive only been travelling at about 30 mph but BE WARNED if you have broad rims and are getting tyres fitted, the same could happen. Apparantly even though its only the smallest of size jumps, for a 17 this a a very broad tyre fitment and problems can occur with beading.

The offset ofr the zed is 38...42 (I think) Does this mean the front wheel offset is 38 and the rears are 42? I have some Sparco racing alloys with an offset of 47? I think So would I need to put 9mm spacers on front and 5mm on rear? Ta very muchly

Would they take chroming? Would they still look crap? ;)

Pushing the car Quite hard round a fast sweeping left hander when it felt like a lump went through the steering wheel. Followed by arse end coming unglued and a short fight for survival. Once I regain control of the car the steeing wheel was at least 20 degrees out of true. the tracking seems fine and having had the car on the ramps there is no obvious signs of any thing wrong. ????? Anyone Please No it's not an after market steering wheel. When you move the steering wheel with engine off it solid as a rock. It has been off though when I had the Tubs reconed last year. The engine was out and when the rack was put back together the steering wheel was out of line …

I need to sort out some new tyres for my front wheels. I've been using Falken FK451 225/50/16 and have the 245's on the back. However it is a two week wait for falkens due to them being out of stock, I need some tyres which are of an equal performance for their price as the falkens. I don't want crap on my front wheels yet i don't want to buy an ultra high performance tyre as I don't think I'll have these wheels for that long. I can get the falkens for about £89 a corner fitted.
