Evening Zoiksterz Now then, im most interested in the old underdrive pulley thang. 1st question would be, as my car was bought with certain 'ahem' subtle mods all ready in place, how would I tell if my car has one fitted already? 2nd Q, if it doesn't have said circular performance enhancementage, what does the replacement underdrive pulley offer in terms of performance etc. i have heard it is possibly the best modification you can make to the vg30De (all things considered) and can i fit it myself or does it need balancement to be done professionally? I dont mind gettin dirty and greasy under the old batmobile, but am no expert Ta chaps and have a good evening…

whats that rear wing then? Is it the F40 style like at zcentre? IF it is does anybosy know wheres the cheapest to get one? 360 is a bit steep!

On replacing the water pump I'm not sure whether to tackle the timing belt it looks ok, anyone replaced it, and is it fairly straight forward if I follow the manual, do I need a push/pull gauge????????? thanks in advance! Jonny........

After an uninsured Idiot crashed into my parked Z I now need a passenger side wing(preferably black) and a T.T front bumper , I'm living in Ireland so could you include shipping in the cost, thanks in advance for your help, Brian.

Haynes: Rotate anticlockwise. Translation: Clamp with mole grips then beat repeatedly with hammer anticlockwise. Haynes: This is a snug fit. Translation: You will skin your knuckles! Haynes: This is a tight fit. Translation: Not a hope in hell matey! Haynes: As described in Chapter 7...

On the way back from Knockhill at the weekend I was heading down the A1 towards the English border (single carriageway 60 limit) in very heavy rain when I noticed a metallic blue Nissan Almera GTI up my arse. Anyone who has driven the upper A1 will know there are speed cameras every few hundred yards so I was sticking to the limit though mainly due to the weather. This guy just had to get past me no matter what and he nearly went head on into 2 trucks so I was thinking what a wanker. Next time he tried to get past on a long straight he got a good run up but I floored it and left him standing in the middle of the road. Did this 2 more times and he was looking most up…

My import has a modified ECU but I haven't found anybody who has been able to identify what the chip is (just a ROM with Jap writing on it) I know the car is putting out more power than standard but with the Jap guages it's tricky making comparisons. I have a K&N cone intake and HKS drager exhaust and want to up the power. How do you go about upping the boost etc in this case (new known ECU?). How is boost increased? By the ECU settings alone or do I have to use some sort of boost controller/bigger injectors etc? Simple for you "tool jockeys" i'm sure... LOL

H reg I think. Anybody here ?

...It was 1990, and I was driving through Birmingham in a company Astra.I had seen pictures in car magazines of the new Zed...But nothing prepared me for seeing one in the metal! It was cruising through the rush hour traffic looking modern, mean and moody.I think it was metallic grey...and had steam wisping from the quad exhaust pipes in the slow moving traffic. I thought..at £35K I will never be able to own one of those beauties! All the other drivers were craning their necks to see it, and passers by were doing a double take!...some things never change! JEZ

anyone have a drivers side headlight for a uk car???????????cheers Jon

is it just me or is the new Z totally 110% GAY!!????

My car runs a bit 'missy' for the first mile or so in the morning. It feels like a cylinder keeps dropping out for a few seconds now and then. It hasnt always done this its only started the last few months. Please tell me there is a very quick and very cheap fix Paul

How come your last post showed 10:14 when it was 3mins prior....zed time me thinks Jeff TT

My lights at.. Before anyone says anything I forget the colour now, sat at the lights just past B&Q in Slough, facing toward maidenhead.. You got flashed by a guy in a grey G reg Z.... 'twas me... Aaanyway..

I have 2 reed units and 2 air filters for AIV valves. I bought these by mistake as my car doesn't have them ! Can buy them for what I paid from the states and save the postage.

Has anyone had this fault before or can shed light on this, everytime I reverse the 4 reverse lights flicker on and off then go out altogether??????? I think it might be a switch somewhere but where is another matter?? Any ideas greatly welcome.

Anyone know of where I can get hold of a copy of the workshop manual for me 300??????

With all this talk about insurance, is there any way we could set up a database giving drivers details, location, UK or Jap car insurance co. and quoted premium. The MR2 club do this and I think that we might find it useful, check it out: http://www.imoc.co.uk/insurance/insurance.asp?MenuID=8 http://www.imoc.co.uk/insurance/InsurerDetails.asp?ID=57 What you think?
