Hi any ideas why my jap import looses power at 120MPH lower if in lower gear is it possible a bad quality speed limiter fitted? help? the boost is ok (last line from max)and the car runs ok all other times. Jeff TT

Forgive me Z forum for I have sinned, this is my first confession. I was beaten by a Daewoo in my 91 TT. Yes, going to Salford on a rather wet day, along the East Lancs, where, for people who dont know the Mancherster/Liverpool area, there are several traffic lights along a national speed limit dual carrage way. Pulling up to traffic lights where a Daewoo confronted me by pulling up in the lane next to me. Revving his engine, I was not strong enough to resist this temptation. The light changed from the firy hell red to green. And I was off. After 30 seconds of wheel spin I began to move just in time before the lights turned to red I was slo…

Craig, CheerZ for the invite down at your place...hopefully might make it...watch this space..."Murry, shut up!" LMAO! Tim ;-) P.S. Craig, trying to help someone out with part nos., tried Courtesy Nissan microfiche on TT.net but can't find the parts?!??!?!?? What's the score? Does it not give that much detail? Helped someone out last week with a thermostat! Frustrating to say the least! Tim ;-)

GuyZ, Recently we have all been raving about 18's. I want, yes I do, mama!!! However, I was looking at some of the sites that we have been posting last week and I stumbled on one site that quoted...wait for it...£645 for Bridge's S02's...I take it that is per tyre...WTF??? Are they seriously that much? Difference between 17's and 18's was immense. 17" tyres were about £400 and then the massive hike for 18's. Am I reading this wrongly 'ere or are they really that much? Or was that for a set? Something tells me that was per tyre! I am reallistically dreaming about the BlitZ alloys at some point but if I'm going to have to pay that much, more than wh…

Well, traction control arrived this morning!!! Within 3 and a half hours it was fitted and calibrated! Fairly simple job if you take your time and don't rush into it! So, the question is..... Am I the first to have it fitted instead of it being an ornament in the garage or has somebody else beaten me to it???? Seriously though guys, this is not a difficult job as long as you take your time (oh yeah, and can use a soldering iron!). All I,ve got to do now is put all the trim back in which should take about half an hour and I'm one happy chappy!!! CheerZ to Johnny for sorting the deal out in the first place. Top man!!! Andy

Howdy, Needed something to do on my Z so measured my Throttle Position Sensor voltages. I get 0.46 closed throttle to 4.07 when fully open. I have read on other tech pages that the range should be from 0.45 to roughly 4 volts. Would 0.01 of a volt make that much difference on the car? Ta ------------------ crazyeddie.co.uk

Interested to know whether the engine breather mod you got has cured your smoke problem?

Does anyone know whether one of these would work in the UK ? http://www.btinternet.com/~pingram/jammer.jpg

Hi all, wonder if someone might be able to hemp me out here. I recently happened to view the front of my car from a lower angle and noticed something unfamiliar behind the nose vents - a small silver bottle. Here's a link to a few pics. Can anyone tell me what this is? Thanks =) Raz

I need a set of guages but don't know who makes them other than Blitz. Any links to good sites?

I spoke to Jap Village today and they have an 89/90 TT Manual. No mods. 100000 Klicks. Blue Leather. 12 Month Parts and Labour. He sounded like a sound bloke on the phone and the car arrived at Southampton today.. They are going to sort out a couple of stone chips and fix the dash for UK. £6K Anyone know anything about japvillage.co.uk? They are out at Horsham.. Anyone here have any comments...? I got to get Twin Turbo'd properly Kind Regards.. Billy No Zed.

At about 100 if i switch my wipers they struggle like mad to sweep the screen. At a bit more than that they lift off the screen and waggle around 3 inches off the glass as the wiper motor fights against the draught. This clearly limits top speed at any time it's raining even lightly. I bought wipers with a aerofoil but it makes no difference. Is this just me or do all Z's suffer from this. If not whats the solution?

My Jap '91 Auto TT seems to have lost all power below 3500 revs, then it takes off. I can put my foot down and it just bogs down until the revs slowly rise to 3500. At first it felt like the car was just taking longer and longer to warm up but it seems pretty permanent now. Sometimes after a long fast drive low end power comes back. Could I have a duff turbo or a pressure leak? How do the twin turbos work? Any ideas chaps?

Does anyone know if it is possible to install 2 boost gauges, one for each side? Cheers. Rob.

How about a bit to show what car goodies we all find on the web! We can see some of you put up links etc, but an ongoing (look what i've found) type thing could be benificial. Member:- subject:- link:- Just a thought. harve.

Any of you lot got open cam pulleys? Is it a case of removing plastic covers & tidying wires up, or a bit more involved? Seen pic's of US cars with it done looks appealing with a bit of lippy here and there.

10p to whoever guesses what it is? Tim ;-)

Im lead to believe that someone does a workshop manual on CD. Who do I talk to and how much ? Thanks Nick
