Think the engine/turbos may need looking at...pulling away from a roundabout up to about 30-40 and then floor it, the lights from the car behind show me I've just left a cloud of grey smoke as the box kicked down and the turbos got going......do I need to be worried ? just a little smoke in the cold mornings, nothing at idle once warmed up, performs and reaches top boost easy enough.... help put my mind at rest???

Ouch - I can hear it - just, under certain conditions - car has never done it before - I thought it might have been a bad batch of fuel coz I filled up with BP, but just refilled with Shell and its still there...I've got spark plugs, timing, o2 sensors and temp sensor to check - have I missed anything? Any other suggestions to try? Cheers for anything!

I went to my local skip (refuse area, not crisps!) yesterday and an older couple came ovr to me and told me they had my cars 'twin', yes thats right they owned a 300TT!

It is the year 2032, and a father and his son walk the streets of lower Manhattan. Approaching the site where the WTC used to be in the end of the 20th century, the father sighs and comments, "to think that right here used to be the Twin Towers..." The son, not understanding, asks his father: "What are the Twin Towers?" The father smiles and looks at the son, and explains, "The Twin Towers were two huge buildings that used to be here until 2001, when the Arabs destroyed them." The son looks up to his father, and asks, "And what are the Arabs?"

I loved the film, will love it forever. But come on, no ZX in the whole film! Why? Anyone else a little disappointed about this..???

I am due to install my new HKS boost controller on saturday and I need some help. I have found some install info on TTnet about how to install an Apexi super AVC-R. Does this have the same plumbing as a HKS EVC4? Could I use this info to install my boost controller?. How long would it take to install a boost controller?. I would be grateful for any help guys Cheers Simon H (not looking forward to Saturday!!!)

Has anyone her ever had experience of using NOS on any car let alone a ZX? Is it legal in the UK to use it? Is it worth it or is it asking for trouble?

Hiya chaps, after cleaning my throttle bodies out, I reset the ECU and the revs idled about 1300 rpm. I've done a little over 250 miles now and it's not particularly altered. So, I tried setting the TPS to .42 Volts, with engine running disconnected the IAA connector and adjusted the idle, got it to 1000rpm with no more adjustment on the screw. Re-connected the IAA plug made no difference at all. Apparently from the procedure I should hear the solenoid click and the revs rise slightly but no. Checked for voltage at the IAA on idling & I got 12V which is correct. Tried cleaning the connector but no joy. I'm lost now as to what to do. So maybe someone could point me in …

Still working on taking the inlet manifolds off, removed the remaining (exposed) fuel hose & damnpers etc, then started on the injector connectors... First one I came to, pushed the little metal retainer out, pulled.. Nothing, didn't budge... Pried a bit with a screwdriver... Strange cracking noise, and it came off.. Leaving half the connector welded to the top of the injector.... Az ------------------ Stage: Rather Ill

Lads and Laddess' alike, I know we haven't bought our ZX's for their amazing fuel economy figures but I am curious to know what the average mileage is from a full tank of fuel on the TTs. Obviously you who need new tyres every 6 months will be counting gallons to the mile instead of the other way round but I am only interested in the normal figures including warm up and cool down tick over time. Does about 20mpg sound right?

Ok so not many of you guys have this kit,But does it handle better or worse than a standard arch Z The arches ain't gona make much differance,but by moving the rear wheels out 2",what does it handle like???

I'm looking to change my car's speakers soon - does anyone know what sizes the stock speakers are? Just wondering if I could shoehorn some 6" or 6.5"ers up front. Thanks, Raz

Hi All In a previous post, i sought advise on problems with stability on my Zed..... I had Darren (Zed Guru) go over my motor today. He has recommened the following require a change: (i)Rear sub frame bushes, (ii) Rear hicas steering rack. (Hence the problem with stability!!) Any ideas where I get these parts from ?? The rack will have to be 2nd hand as a new one costs 1K+vat. (Beginning to wonder why i never stuck to my corolla diesel....lol) CheerZ

Forgot the aerial was electric and drove car out of low garage door this weekend and managed to snap the aerial. Anyone know if you can get a replacement mast or will i have to fork out for a whole thing. Cheers. Paul.

Have gave my new motor a good going over, needs quite a few parts am in the motor trade but nissan prices even with discount are pretty wild anyone know of a reasonably priced specialist or had experience of ordering parts from the states, pitfalls etc

DAP can now get hold of direct replacement clear side repeaters, if anyone cares. £25, well worth it!
