before i replaced the rear lights, the right indicator would blink rapidly as if a bulb was burnt, upon inspection the right rear bumper side light was off. left side ok. so on the weekend i replaced just the brake lights and installed the third brake light and its now rapidly blinking for left and right, ive checked all the lights and they light up. low beam, high beam, fogs, rear brake lights and all four indicators including the rear side bumper lights. cant figure out why its still blinking fast. any ideas?:huh:

My shagpile ones have just about had it (thank God, far too 80's). Quick question, will the LWB front mats fit a SWB?

as per title ive fitted the third brake light finally. and i was wondering is there a fitting difference, i know that the third brake light will fit all variations of the z32 but when was fitting it it only had one hole for the plastic clip!? which left me thinking wtf!! the strip has four clips and 4 screws to bolt down. i started thinking about drilling holes etc but ecventually after almost loosing hope and not fitting it i removed all 4 clips and bolted it place its in place and looks miles better but its not as sturdy bewteen the the end screw and middle screw where the brake light is. and there is defo a gap between the boot lid and the perspex stri…

what would cause a standard boost gauge to not work it obviously sits on 0 when the car is off but as soon as i turn the ignition on it goes a quarter way up and stays there even when i start the car and drive it doesn't seem to move one bit !! is an after market boost gauge better i so are these easy to fit ? Thanks Ben :)

Hello all!

I have removed the fuel tank from my car and will be getting powder coated soon I have washed the tank out a few times with soapy water and let it sock so but is there a better way to make the tank safe and fume free ?

Hello all! So over the winter I have noticed a slight crunch or notchyness (it is a word) going to 1st to second regardless of the rpm. It goes away a bit after an hour of driving once the old is warm presumably. Question is what could it be? - It is rare for the 2nd gear synchro to go. If I change down from 3rd to nd it is smooth. So if all in one movement I go from 1st, move into 3rd with clutch depressed, then put it into 2nd it is smooth as silk. I will put some MT90 in and see if that helps. Some guy on zcar mentioned that it could be clutch boost? does this mean anything to anyone? http://www.zcar.com/forum/12-90-96-tech-discussion-forum/16152…

Hi People, I know of a few on the forum using aftermarket diffs such quaife, kaaz and tomei ones! My question is what would be best for a fast road and a little track used Z ? Also what is prefered 1.5 or 2 way ?

as title says had about an hour window with no rain to get these fitted. even though the clear rear brake lights stood out and looked good, i personally always wanted a pair and i really like them! before and after

figured id start a new thread, as ive mentioned about my surprise find a fews days ago ive taken out the centre rear light panel and took apart one section to show what it was, i thought it would've been a simple led insert but it wasnt. from the pictures you'll be able to tell what was done and where, not much to it but the top lense had to be pushed in and glued in place and the edge has been cut away for the led board to fit. the backing cover also had been cut to allow room for the wires

Just wondering if it is possible to resistance check the air flow meter on these car's? :)

How good are zeds honestly? I am fairly comitted to my zed, I plan to keep it as the high performance car I need. But, I do get wandering eyes, find myself looking at supras on PistonHeads, or bonkers miester gtrs. Capris... elises... So, for those with better car histories than myself, how good are they? Ive heard supras are a bit pants, I do love my zed it feels really good to me but how do they honestly stack up? Would a tvr be better? More rewarding, more capable? I thought this would bring up an interesting discussion.

Any one know the best place to buy them? I have 88mm pistons and the heads have had around 12-14 thousandths taken off. So I guess I need .060 (15 thousandths) thickness. And help is always appreciated

So the other day as I was parking up I saw the reverse leds reflect off the chrome strip on my elgrand as I was switching my lights off to see a better reflection I some how pressed the unkown switch that was drilled into the light pod(which is currently dangling by my knee) and noticed red turns out it had the fog conversion done. I was amazed lol had it for so long and never knew it!!!!

Been think about how my Z would look with matee black wheels on it? any pic worldwide who has this? haven´t found one; what do you folks think?

I've bought an engine from Baz last September which has been sitting for about 5-6 months. I'm fitting it this weekend and want to know if there is anything I need to do before attempting to start it. I've also got some braided oil feed pipes for the turbos. They don't seem to have the correct fittings, could someone tell me if they are the right ones

I dont know if this has been posted or asked, if it has apologies for the repost but who here has the fastest z? By that I mean street legal and not a track z. Curious to know and if no one knows then I think we should arrange something to find out :thumbup1:

Bit of a random one. I need a square meter or so of faux leather with a pattern that is close to the OEM dashboard. I don't suppose anyone here knows of where to get something like that? (Obviously I've looked on eBay, but with little success)

what oil should I refill my diff with car is a turbo

Im going to order a boost contoller and wondered what you are all using.. I know theres AVCR, theres Greddy and Gizmo. Any other options and whats your preference? Cheers

Hi guys, On the instrument cluster cowling, it holds 2 separate, i call them "Foil Inserts". They have bulbs behind them to illuminate warnings, They are left and right of the steering wheel. one sheet is 3 squares long (3 x 1) the other has 6 (2 x 3) . Here is an example below from mine I need to know what they're called to search for them as the other side is the wong one Regards Rich
