Does anyone have the two metal brackets that the stereo bolts to, which then bolt to the dash behind the centre console? Mind went walkabout with the radio when it was stolen.. Also, does anyone have the cubbyhole? Or the Nissan blanking plate? For the lower slot.. Money waiting

ok guys, you have probably herd this a thousand times before but where is the best place to get the cam-belt kit from? do you realy need all the parts quoted by courtesy(texas USA)? is there any places closer to home?(because import+shiping costs!) cherz kris

Right my fellow speed demons, Boost controllers? I know this is like asking how long a piece of string is but I'm hoping to get some responses from guys or gals who actually have these or have used these in the past. Greddy Profec A boost controller looks and sounds the absolute bollox to be honest but then so does the new Blitz ID controller? I would love to hear some input from anyone to be honest, whether they be Soup drivers, Scooby, 200 boys or whoever.

Just thought I would let you Southerners know about the place that did my Auto rebuild. AGS(Auto Gearbox Specialists) based in Watford on 01923 249179 and ask for Andy or Dave. My Auto was slipping badly before Crimbo so I took it to a guy over the road from work who wouldn't touch it! Suggested these guys who came and picked my car up from Stevenage, I was quoted 1K and that it would be ready in a few weeks. Well bugger me sideways! Two weeks later I get a call "Tim, your Nissan is done!" which shocked me! Not used to being told that something on a car will take X time and then have that become reallity. Not only that but what they quoted me is wh…

Anyone here have any idea of how to fit one of these? Cheers Jay

Well - through the bulkhead at least... Many thanks to Leigh for his hours of help last night in the rain.. In the end we had to take the glovebox out, unbolt the a/c unit behind it, unbolt the blower motor, and crowbar the lot forward to get the clearance to get the loom through.. The biggest problem ended up being the white connector that branches off the loom just before the ECU connector.. [This message has been edited by aaronjb (edited 24-01-2002).]

Hi Guys, My 300TT has been off the road for 6/7 months.I took it for an MOT the other day It failed the emmision test.When its cold no smoke from the exhaust.When it warms up both sides start smoking.It was fine before I laid it up and the only thing I have done since is fit a mongoose exhaust. Help!!

Hi Smurf During my daily evening hike home across southsea common yesterday I saw a grey Zed (reg XAM ****)cruising along from the seafront. Was that you M8. If so it looked the biz!!!. Must admit if I had not gone for a red Zed grey would probably have been my next choice.Very classy looking. Are you still pleased with the Zed??. I know after nearly three years of ownership my enthusiasm for the car hasn't gone!!! Is it parked around that area, I will have to have a closer look one evening. Seez ya Simon H [This message has been edited by simon h (edited 24-01-2002).]

Anyone know of a Celica forum similar to this one? My brother wrote his off in an accident last Friday and we're hoping to buy it off the insurance company and do it back up for him. Need loads of parts, though. Which is why I thought it may be cheaper going through a Forum such as this for Celicas, instead of Toyota. Cheers Anita.

I have a 'standard' '90 J'spec, TT. 60K service coming up, I've got all the bits but I'd like to replace the plugs too. I've seen/read a lot about different temp and reach of plug. Can I please have some recommendations and prices. Ta guyz Tim

Ok guys having a meet this Sunday 27th Jan,at GPS near Manchester check out the upcoming events section on this forum . cheerZ MAC 1 ------------------

hey everyone, i'm wondering if a crted rebuilt TT engine comes with the turbos and other plumbing etc

Craig, Nico: Can a field not be added to the profile screen for each user? Perhaps lose the ICQ field, and rename it to 'MSN name'? Just a thought ------------------ Simon

Oh Flip I am recieving returned e-mails constantly now that I am not sending. It says that the server is returning them for anti virus protection and that I am trying to send executable files. It looks like I am trying to send everyone in my address book an attatchment which I am not. Another strange thing is that the body of the message that I am supposed to have sent contains a few lines randomly taken from some college work I have been typing up . WTF is going on

Just a quick message to say thanks to Phil at C&S Wood in Manchester. I recently was travelling back from Scotland when the water pump packed in on me, NIGHTMARE! One quick stop in to Johnny at Grasshopper and he put me in touch with Phil. Needless to say the job was done very quickly and to the highest standard. Phil gave the car a good look over and done my Brakes while he was there. The price was very good and i would recommend him to anyone in the Manchester area as this as he has a zed of his own and knows what he is doing unlike many other garages that i have tried. Any work u need doing contact him at PHIL.DICKINSON@BLUEYONDER.CO.UK Cheers again to Phil and J…

Ok, is there anywhere that have the following for sale in the UK, and what kind of prices do you reckon I should be looking at?: 1. JWT ecus 2. 550 / 555 injectors 3. Greddy SP or B&B Triflo exhausts 4. A decent clutch capable of taking 450bhp, but still feels nice (any thoughts?) ...all required before my car can be driven again (been without the zed for 7 months so far, *sob*) Also, what pressure does the Z fuel system run at? (in PSI) Cheers in advance guys n girls ------------------ Simon

So its the water system again, well I have replaced pipes, rad and the water pump. Would it hurt to leave the Thermostat OUT? as the 300zx engine seems to run hot anyway. Also doeas anyone know where to get a heater matrix from? Oh car is a 1990 import NA

Ordered mine very late on Friday from DV-Depot. Arrived this morning. Bloody excellent customer service. Half way through film at the mo. Have to say that first race, by the time they get upto speed, I would be done and having coffee and donuts and those 2 birds (for winning the race) by the time they get into 3rd. LOL. This is why there's no Z about they are just to quick for some. See ya ------------------ crazyeddie.co.uk

Just fitted a new stereo so i have the standard radio cassette and cd player for sale. Also i have: 1 stock intercooler 1 pair of cats These came off my car after 13000 miles and are in excellent condition.If interested contact me at baz_michael@hotmail.com

My turbos are smoking under boost, blue smoke lots of CRAP. Has any one tackled replacement themselves how bad a job is it I am a mechanic to trade, is it an engine out job or can it be done in-situ? I am considering hybrid turbos any one have any stories or reccomendations what bhp can I expect running standard internals HKS induction, Mongoose exhaust and have just received breather kit so cats will be getting binned. My car has done 77000 so engine should be fine no Knocks etc

Does anyone know what the difference between R32/33/34 front brake disks are. Also what size is the R33/34 disk 330mm x ????? Thanks Vijay
