Just been to see my car, and the new intercoolers are on. Some before and after pictures for any one who is interested. Anyone who wants to be sarcastic, don't bother. http://www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt/intercoolers ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary!

When I bought my Z it had (and still has) a single big bore tail-pipe which is on the right side of the rear. Of course the original exhaust, when the car was new, was split left and right. From a purely 'looks' point of view the original looks much better, even if the exhausts themselves were s***. I want to change my single to a double to balance the rear view. It's got to be stainless steel, and I'd prefer twin pipes. Any suggestions, costs, performance issues etc gratefully received.

Speedo has been playing up and sticking at about 210 mph (needle sits over the +14 mark on the stock boost gauge) and yesterday my chief test driver, Mrs Turbo, reported in to the pits a problem! Speedo playing up, loss of power steering and HICAS light came on. When this happened to me a few weeks ago I noticed that the Techtom was still showing speed accurately in MPH so would this rule out the speed sensor? More likely the Speedo???

Hi All, My bird's mum has a Pajero soft-top Shogun jeepy thing she wants rid of. Turbo Diesel, 'bout 80K on it I think, not been used much for a while. Excellent condition, she had a new top, CD and interior installed. If you want any info or pics gimme a shout and I'll pass it on. She wants about £4500 for it - bargain, usually go for about £5500-£6000. Sorry it's not Z related :-( RobH

If I have to pay for rebuild I may as well go and have a manual box........ How much for a manual box, who has one in good condition? How much for an autobox, who has one in good condition? Cheers, Matty. ------------------

What steps would I have to take to change an Auto into a Manual? If all goes pear shaped and I have to pay for autobox I might aswell go and turn it into a Manual....... Matty. ------------------

I you are running higher than standard boost (e.g. 13 psi) throught he use of boost jets or similar will safety boost still run at 7 psi or will it run at at 11 psi (based upon a standard normal boost of 9 psi).

Guys/Gals, Heard from garage that have my Z in. Nope it's not ZedWorld, Jeff sends it out to another place who are 'specialists' I don't want to give the name yet. My Autobox is burnt out at the back end and it's not the front pump seal as originally thought. The problem is; The garage that have the Z originally did the autobox flush before I went on holiday, the Z had it's first proper run on way to Billing as you know that's where I broke down. The garage told me what caused the autobox to burn out, they told me there was a blockage in the cooler pipes stopping the fluid travelling round and the back end of my autobox went dry and burnt out. …
