Hello, I am from the 200SX forum, Has anyone got any grooved discs kicking about that they want to sell???

: These are mandrel bent aluminized steel tube that I have polished out. They cost me $16 each. The hose clamps are $3 each, and are hella nice. The 2"->2.5" adapters were $7 at Napa and the 2.5" straight rubber couplings were $1.50 each. : I'm still waiting on the 2" pipes to arrive, however, I already have the hose clamps and couplings waiting for them once they get here. Enjoy! : :

Is it "safe" to change the auto tranny fluid in a 1990 TT which (to my knowledge) has never had a change in it's life? The gear changes are a bit strange (2-3 seconds to change up from 2nd) so I was going to try a fluid change. Any thoughts? Ta. JonnyC

Whatever it was you kindly did for the forum members I thank you sir! Top Man ------------------ Glen :)

This is the passenger side. Notice filter thingy and ugly piping. This is driver side. Again notice different filter the the passenger side??? This is the two filters open. Passengers side on the left drivers on the right. The little filters are on only one side. No one seems to be able to tell me why. This little filter is on both of them except the drivers side one has a little hole in it (purpose) So i again phone crappy techiques. Speak to one of the guys who supposidly made the developed the kit this time. He was pleasent and all except, when i asked him why the difference.. he could not explain. …

I am painting the balance tube that goes across the top of the engine. I have some paint that is rated up to 150C. Do you reckon the balance tube gets much hotter than that? I can't get high temp paint in the right colour so I'm thinking I might risk it.

Hiya, Just got my brake light to go into the standard rear spoiler. My car has a blank in it at the moment 'cos it's a UK TT, my question is, is there a connection on the boot lid to just plug it in or will I have to re-wire back to the raer light cluster????? cheers Jon.

Does anyone know who has a consult other than Darren? Just interested T

These are the same ones I got a while back (haven't fitted them yet!) When I got mine there were no other bids so I got them for US$275. Shipping was about another $100 because they went surface and I managed to avoid any taxes because it wasn't UPS/FedEx etc. Matey is an importer/distributor and was also up for a group buy for something like $240 (I think). Seemed like a nice bloke.

Hello Craig Got the empeg player 2day and Guess what Mr Pc won't talk to it any ideas as to what i'm doing wrong..at the momemt i'm using the USB port but have tried the serial port aswell no joy on either!! Pete.

Oh boy, did a mistake and need your help !! - did not drive my Zed for a couple of weeks... she is paying me back and refuses to move out of the garage ;-( All I get is in the beginning just a couple of secs sound that at least something is happening, but the engine stalls completely when releasing the key. If this would be only one coil/cylinder then it should start but run uneven - or ? Tried with some extra power (electricity) from another car, but all I got was a lot of gasoline smell from exhaust - so I guess the problem is in electronics? Having had my Zed only for a couple of months I really dont know where to start... can you advice how to wake he…

Hiya All I had a problem with a metallic squeaky noise coming from the O/S/F wheel, I thought i had it sorted when I had the wheel bearings changed, but no it's still there. All the bushes have been changed, and I've had the brakes stripped down 2 times, does anybody have any ideas what this may be, even the guy at the garage is lost for what it may be. The noise can only be heard upto about 40mph, it seems to be in proportion to the speed of the wheel, it sound like a high piched metal on metal squeak, and if you apply the brakes they give out a very high piched squeak for a very small amount of time. Any idea's??? Cheers JOHN

Hi guys, a 'mate of a mate' is thinking of buying a VX220. Are they any good with regard to residual values, servicing prices and running costs in general? Cheerz Dave

Was going to invest in a set of R33 brembos, but got tempted by the TC group buy and spent the wedge that I had put a side for the brakes. Now as I still intend to do a bit of stopping now and again, do I upgrade to s/s hoses, greenstuff pads (or similar) and dot 5 fluid in the very near future and forget about the brembos, or will I always regret not having them and end up buying them in the future. The car is a 91 jap TT with HKS boost control, exhaust and intake. Thanks in anticipation Mark

Can ne1 tell me where I can get this stuff? Can't find it anywhere! Cheers, Andy

Hi guys, following on from many threads about speccy camera`s etc,Made a hasty return home from France this morning (1:00am) anti-clockwise on the M25 from Dartford crossing to M1 North,Question can these things distinquish No. plates in the dark? The wife`s Ford Focus was zipping along very well and seemed a shame to loose the momentum once it was going,but every bridge or gantry had me thinking so kept tucking behind other cars.But had a thought do they view from behind as well? Got to say actually did not see any or was it just too dark? Jeff TT (In need of reassurance)

Is there any possibility of a meet in the next few weeks, on a weekend? Z or no Z but would be nice to meet more peeps Any ideas guys???

my 1990 Z has had the EGR and AIV valves removed. I now want to get rid of the solenoid valves that go with them. Both these valves are in front of the bulkhead in the corner on the drivers side, but there is also a small black plastic box, about the size of a matchbox, that has an electrical connector and also a vacuum tube. This tube runs to a T-piece in the AIV vaccuum line going to the balance tube. With me so far? If I remove the solenoids and the black box will it upset anything else? Also what is the black box? Cheerz.
