Right - sorry bout the subject line - had to get your attention ;-) Dilema - Have new bumber with stylish racing mesh fitted *but* it clashes with the intercoller 'ducts'... So, do I keep the ducts or the mesh - realisticly how much difference do the ducts make? Considered opinions... Thanks Guys (& Gals) /\/\ark

Well, I've converted my car from Auto to Manual but what a bloody job and a half!!! Getting those hydraulic pipes in was a bugger as well as getting the pedals & clutch booster in position! There's a couple of things to do like connect the HICAS clutch switch instead of the Park brake switch, Neutral switch instead of auto inhibitor switch etc. I'm testing it out on the road tonight so it should be interesting! Wish me luck guys!!!!

Does anyone know how to get gear oil into a manual box? I think it goes in through that metal pipe at the top but I'm not sure! Thanks, Shaun

Hi All. Having followed, with much interest, the posts on this forum for over a year now, I've finally plucked up the courage to introduce myself to you. My name's Guy and I've owned a Jap spec 91 TT auto for the last two years. It's totally orignal (no mods) and like you I think they're fantastic cars. I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to you all as well. Whilst I haven't made any posts before, the technical info that you make available both on this forum and on the site has been invaluable - particularly the info about headlight bulbs for imports, fuses (indecipherable before!) and introductions to people like Luke at the z-centre. The reason that …

No, not mine, thank any gods who happen to be listening. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=598796823&r=0&t=0 I was under the impression that if airbags were deployed that the car was a write-off, usually as a C. But, having just read that, it is a write-off as you get salvage title with it.

Anyone? I am off work, feeling crap and terrible, maybe worse than that. I need some miracle cure, anyone help me? Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

Calling all worldwide stations. I'm desperately trying to LOCATE a MANUFACTURER of Indiglo Gauges. I gave up the idea to find Indiglo gauges that would fit the EURO spec cars, but I discovered that I can pretty easily print custom templates.....so all I need is to LOCATE a Manufacturer, and get BLANK gauges. If you have indiglo in your car, can you please help me to locate WHO actually MFG them.

Please guys, then I'm bantering with Mr. Duff tonight and he says that it's been assumed by the Z masses that it's me!!! WTF!!! What just coz that twat starts posting as me and Mat Lad bugger off in a huff? People put 2 and 2 together and come up with Porker = Timmy Turbo...Fuck off! I know that I've not gone down too well with some of the other forums, but it is not me! I've been man enough to sort things out with the Soup guys, I apologised to John Branners and he's accepted my apology and w…

Hi Guys Just got the car back from major service (£631.49) gulp!! the machanic has brought to my attention the o/s/f track control arm bush is leaking. Is this a big job? Does anyone have recommendations for parts? Cheers Martin

Z logo has just arrived on my Nokia. Kudos to ya fella!! Thanks m8 ------------------ Glen :)

I went to replace my battey today and after putting it in, the engine won't turn over. The problem sounds as though the starter motor is just spinning and as I said the engine is just not turning over. I put in the old battery and jumped started it, but the same thing, just spinning up noise coming from the drivers side of the engine bay. Has anyone any ideas what it could be? Cheers Vijay

Jonny at Grasshopper supplied me with a Turbo Breather kit. Had it fitted along with new SS braided brake pipes from the Z Centre and USA fog lights from Courtesy Nissan. The kit works great, thanks Jonny. The Fog lights look super and with Osram H3 bulbs allow more rapid passage on dimly lit roads.The old girl looks even more beautiful now. Bill

Just had an exhaust fitted, never heard of the make Fujitsubo and the websites mostly in Japanese. Anyone had one?

email me for details if interested....

There are so many brands of oil that I don't know what to get for the best. When I first start my car up, it makes a knocking noise but then it goes away after a couple of seconds. Sometimes it comes back but if I rev it again, it goes!

and I quote: "There are no numbers or info displayed on the boost controller, there is just a knob." RAFLMFAO Im sorry but im sitting here trying to work out how to fit this thing and now I cant take it seriously anymore. ...there is just a knob.... ------------------ Glen :)
