Does any body have a technical drawing of a manual gearbox. It needs to be the same as what you see in Haynes Manuals, I.E. shafts, bearings, seals & gears etc. I need this because my gearbox has just started making a whining noise in 1st, 2nd and not quite as noticibly in 3rd gear(s). Any body have this problem before?? Another question. Did the last Zeds ever get fitted with a 6 speed gearbox, or am I dreaming??? Many thanks in advance. RCD

Let's go to Llandudno(40 odd miles) for our tea from M&S babe!!! Yeahhhhhh!!! Twas raining like buggery when we set-off so let's take it easy then eh? Yep! Off a round-a-bout into Llandildo and I give it a bit of large! Arse end wheels feel like they are spinning so I lift off and re-apply a conservative amount instead. I'm bitching about the TC not working or is it? Anyway, finish off the shopping and washing the shite off the car e.g. straw, bailing twine etc. What garage? Oh you mean the hay store and general horse feed looking thing! LMFAO Get to the last set of traffic lights and 90 degree turn left. Which is past a garage where some …

OK, It was parked in stealth mode and i didnt see it! Problem is i need a new passenger side wing and fog light and maybe a new bumper aswell. How much was the Stillen Bumper going to be? and has anyone got a spare wing?

...Evo!!! Nico mentioned the review of the new GT-R so I had to go buy asap! Nice! But read about the guys who bought the Maser Bi-Turbo jobbies. Replacement stock turbo £3900 + VAT!!! Do what??? Eh??? Engine out for 48,000 mile service??? Thought only Ferarri pulled that stunt on unsuspecting owners like Misseur Clarckson! LOL Turbo(bottom of the range) £1139.65(Ghibli Cup £4582.50) inclusive of VAT but not with fitting! Has the world gone insane overnight then???

Hi ya all Finally got the report from the garage, engine is knackered(as if I didn't already know). They have told me it would be in the region of £4000-£5000 for a full strip and rebuild, as nearly all the engine if f*****d, so my only choise has to be a second hand engine, so the car is booked in for next week, hopefully be back to me in around 7 days. I know this is not the cheapest option but as my only car I can't afford it to be off the road for a few months, first finding a place to rebuild and then the rebuild itself. I'll let you know how it goes and if it goes pear shaped you can me 'I told you so' afterwards. Regards JOHN

I bought this gorgeous looking ZX back in July last year... One years warrenty.. There are three things that are really, REALLY, pissing me off. The first and the worse is that there is a flat spot, on pulling away at low revs.. Plugs, (Platinum Plugs..)and filters are all new... The second thing is that the power steering tends to go really stiff all of a sudden at low speeds like going round a roundabout, then it'll come back.... Dogey or what... then thirdly... it crunches or notches into second gear... The gear I can live with but the other things are a pain... My dealer, Bless him, has honoured the warrenty and had it back about six times and its been to di…

146,000 miles.Automatic.Metallic Grey.FSH.MOT until April 2003. New rear tyres. Thousands spent including new turbos at 127K, Sylvia Engineering boost upgrade and exhaust, gearbox overhaul etc. Well maintained company director's car available from 28 Feb. Location; Sevenoaks, Kent

Being a bloke and soon to be owner of a 91 300TT, the first thing I will do is service it (obviously) the second is change the ICE, I've already got a top head unit, which leaves me only one question, what size are the front & rear speakers in the Z?

I've got a set of front tension rods fitted with polyflex bushes for sale if anyone's interested. Only done around 200 miles.

Interesting fault Some times when I am driving a warning light comes on (next to the handbrake light) and stays on until you press the electric seat controls, then it flashes and goes out. Can anyone help? Thanks Richie……. ------------------

Im looking for the drivers side exhaust with the cat in it and from the downpipe. Please must have o2 sensor intact. thanks.

Can anyone help me out here... My Z has recently spent about 6 months off the road and has developed a series of electrical failures. I've looked under the bonnet and there's a fair bit of corrosion (nothing serious but enough to make me concerned about connections, etc.) I've WD40'd every connection I can see but am still getting several problems: 1. intermittent fault on left dip light 2. right front indicator doesn't work but bulb tests OK 3. car has taken to occasionally stalling at low speeds (makes for interesting steering / braking!) 4. HICAS light occasionally comes on half way through a longish trip (fluid is full) although this is improving with …

On my Import ZX My boost gauge is –7 to +7 mmHG or something. What is this in PSI and are the standard gauges any good? Thanks Chaps Richie….. P.S. does the pic below show? ------------------ [This message has been edited by richie300zx (edited 21-02-2002).]

I'm new here, but from what i've seen, there seems to be a lot of (friendly?) banter regarding the whole "Us & Them" scenario.... why not arrange a meet on "level ground" ie. the midlands (sorry for calling you that). Then the subject can be discused like gentlemen, failing that, possibly decided by competitions arranged ammacably by both sides...... EG: "Who ate all 20 pies?" "How many jellied eels in 1 set of Y-fronts" "Fastest round the car park in lancashire mill clogs" "Are 180's possible in suvern Z's) Suggestions?

Fitted my breather kit o/s was tight but ok, but the n/s was to tight and the hose kinks whichever way I put it around, and having followed the instructions too the letter. then there is the reducing bushes which are not shown to be needed unless youre supposed to fit the origional breather pipes as well( which have restrictors and wire brush inside) but it says remove and replace. anyway here some photos I ended up splitting the o/s hose with a 90 degree elbow to stop it kinking.

The CIA was recruiting for the position of assassin. They had one vacancy; there were three candidates - two women and a man. The interview procedure was very thorough. At the end of the day the three candidates were advised that they had to pass a final test, designed to ensure that they would carry out any order, regardless of the circumstances. The first woman was taken to a metal door and given a gun. She was told "Inside this room you will find your husband, sitting in a chair. We want you to kill him." She responded without hesitation: "Oh no, I couldn't possibly do that. Not my husband - I love him!" On hearing this, the senior agent sho…

Hey all Ok got the stage 2 turbo's comming next week. any engineering company i speak to tell me that i should put forged pistons in to the bottom end. but i guess this also means i have to put stronger conrods in. do i have to do this to accept higher boost and stage two turbos? the bottom end is fine and i might be bying another which is fine to work on. Just afraid that i might be being told to buy something i dont need! Latz PS i take in to consideration that there is no definate way to say if my bottom end will take this. i just wanted your opinions [This message has been edited by Latz (edited 20-02-2002).]

Well boys, issue 15 should be out in the shops some time this month. Fingers crossed our rolling road day should be featured, or thats what's they said anyway. Someone SHOUT when its out I've annoyed my local newsagent enough with questions of "Is it out yet?" lol!! Laterz, G

Hello guys, I want to start tackling the servicing myself if I can and just wondered if there is a firm list of what should be done at what intervals. Cheers Vijay

Driving to work this morning on the A1(M), I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Merc doing 65 miles per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that damn makeup!!! It scared me so bad I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my mobilephone away from my ear which fell into the coffee between my legs and DISCONNECTED AN IMPORTANT CALL!!!!!!! …
