Hiya guys, Just replaced my timing belt, water pump and did all the seals on my 1991 NA today; no problems and it is running beautifully. I have tensioned the external belts as accurately as I can, but I am still getting an intermittent sqeualing noise from them. I plan to check them out one at a time again tomorrow from under the car. I think they may stil be a bit loose. Do you get squeal from belts too tight or too loose ? And how long after breaking them in should you retension them ? Thanks guys. Amer.

Hi guys spent a cracking day at the Autosport show with my baby bro today, got to say the best I have seen there soooo much to look at and trade stalls that were well interesting, many killer cars and to top it what is the king of mods now? yes its still wheels but not as we know it Jim! Check out the pic below and weep this is a 285X35 ZR 22" wheel!!! and seems anything less now is well ....less. Jeff TT

HELP - Does anyone know how to change the brake master cylinder! Can't drive the TT until its fixed.

Not sure who was asking for these some time ago,the 6omm pod a-pillar trims are now in stock, e-mail me if interested, smithy,

Can anyone please shed any light on the following: I've a 92 ZX TT. I was driving at 40mph when there was suddenly a 'Pop' and my engine died. It will restart if left for approx. 15 mins, but then dies again within seconds. No smoke was omitted from the engine when the 'Pop' occurred. Does this sound like a problem anyone else has experienced (please, don't be blown turbos!!!)? If so, please give me a clue... Thanks Drew

Got creamed on the M25 last night. Some one went up the back of me and pushed me into the back of another. In fact there were six domino's in all. I was sencond from front. Some guy in a honda went screaming into the back of a 928 (writeoff) which got pushed into the back of a Puma (write off) which got pushed into the back of a Saab which then hit me, pushing me into the back of a toyota. I was, for a second or two, stationary. So was the car in front and car behind. My rear bumper fecked, front bumper, bonnet, front panel blah. Now, I don't know how this is going to work insurance wise. Really, the guy at the very back was to blame. but the woman in fr…

Hi for thouse of you who dont know i have replaced my blown diff on my UK Twin Turbo auto for a Jap spec diff from a Twin turbo auto.And now after my first fast run the car nolonger accelorates straight to 140 easly(i know they are faster but i find 140 is the speed my car thundered to),anyway now the car with the new diff thunders to 125 so top speed should be an interesting comparason,thats a 15mph differance. What would be good to know is has any one on the forum changed the standard Z combanation (ie changed the auto box for a manual with out changing the diff,or visa versa)and how did they find the performance in the upper regions of the Z. Also how does a Jap sp…

Hi folks, Does anyone know anything about veilside importers? (www.veilside.co.uk) I'm going to see a Z tomorrow from a private buyer who bought it from veilside a few months back, and am wondering if they are as reputable as their webiste is trendy. Cheers, -Stu

Hi People, Ive had my Z for over a year now and only had to replace the Battery , But I wondered were the best place is to get replacement Parts from ??? like Brake Pads and general servicing parts etc. I have a 91 Jap import 2 seat NA. will certain UK bits fit mine. CheerZ Kev

Did anyone else order Trax Pictures, finally got mine tonight and I've put them in the rides.

Not exactly the technical thing in the world, but I thought this the best place to ask this question. In the Z Buying Guide on this site, it shows the turbo guage going from -14 to +14. When I tested a Jap car the other day it had -7 to +7 instead (I think). Is this normal? I think it was the same story with the oil pressure guage. I'm going to see another one tomorrow (in Leicester from Today's autotrader if you've got it to hand!) and want to make sure I am properly prepared. Can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks, -Stu

Gross!!!
