I HAVE A SINGLE BLITZ AIR FILTER ON THE 300 AT THE MINUTE AND WAS WONDERING IF IT COULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO PUT TWO ON THERE - ONE FOR EACH TURBO. HAS THIS BEEN DONE BEFORE ? CHEERS GUYS.

lol :

Had a race with a impreza on Sunday afternoon along the A570 - very good fun, I was just a tad faster than him - having to ease up slightly due to catching him up at 100 mph! Give it its dues though it was quick, an X reg blue on (arnt they all) I could easily outbrake him though and the handling round the roundabout almost saw me drive over the top of him!!! At the end of it though we waved a 'thanks' and off we went. I think its time to get a new exhaust and a new induction kit....would have whooped him then!

I was recently travelling down the A580 when I saw a green car behind me that made me think " What the hell is that!" On pulling in to let it pass, I stopped behind it at the next set of lights. A motorbike pulled alongside it and when the lights changed to green it got left behind by the car. I have never seen a roadcar move so fast in my life. I think it was badged as Nismo, HKS and Powered by Grasshopper. By a process of elimination, I came across your site and the pieces seemed to fit into place. (Location, names etc.) What I would like to know is... Is it one of your cars? What sort of car is it... Are there any pics on the net.. what are it's stats.. …

ZTT, Manual and being a tight arsed Northerner I've only £5500 to spend;-) Glen 07986586039.

This is from the dodgy emissions suffered by me from my 21"SVGA - I have been through all posts from today to 3 months back. Lots of VV useful info. Scary stories and happy tales of Z-Ownership and Z-Buyership. I know it's been covered in other posts and i've sent the relevant techie info to my printer, but I godda admit it scares me going out to buy one of these motors. Hehe I've never been a 'Mondeo Man' but I don't fancy chucking 5 and Half grand at a lemon. Thanks to Martinfa, TopSquads, Nico, TimmyT, John, Tooley, and Si on the IOW for your comments. Listen chaps, I'm in Lincs but will be travelling anywhere there is a decent Z to look at. The AA want £240 for…

On my way to Grasshopper this morning I got a bit lost near Leigh and passed 2 nice Z's in convoy at about 8.00 - 8.30. I flashed one of 'em. I know Johnny spoke to one of you on the phone but I forgot your name... One was black and the other black/blue metallic with wing and nose mods.

Took my Z to Johnny (Grasshopper) & Ian (Hiteq) today. Nissan had quoted me £1350.00 for replacing the head gasket to fix the overheating problems. Turned out to be a faulty radiator pressure cap as a couple of you had guessed. Ian gave me a used cap FOC. Relieved that I didn't get a big bill, I ordered the traction control! Got the guys to check out my Z and it seems to be almost a Stage III car. Super Drager exhaust, Apexi induction kit, Gutted Cats, Auto Box Line Pressure Controller, Unknown Jap ECU chip. I wondered why it was quick! Thanks again to Johnny and Ian. Saved me a fortune.

Hi mate, Clear your mail I can't get though!

I'm in contact with someone from Germany who can supply the Porsche GT2 993 brakes with all the mounting hardware, brackets, bolts and brakepads for about $2000. With more people interested he can even lower his price. Look at http://www.ultimategarage.com/bigbrake1.html for more information on the brakes

can anyone tell me who imports greddy exhausts into country much appreciated, seen the one i want to buy. GREDDY SP CATBACK COUPE.

Anyone heard of this one.... Got a 1991 Import Zed TT, the engine is near enough standard apart from a few bits (HKS filter etc etc). When I accelerate hard in third, then change into fourth, it grinds like a bastard!! I've been advised by a couple of people it may be the syncro?? Any ideas?? The clutch was replaced about 8 months ago.

Underneath the standard rear spolier/sponge is a decal strip, which on my '92 UK TT is lookking a bit tatty and is peeling at the corners. I dont wnat to spend a fortune on it as eventually would like to replace the spolier for a fibreglass one. At teh moment I have just rubbed it back and respayed it. Looks fine at the mo but will probably flake like buggery cum the winter ... Anyways, any suggestion son a cheap tart up job? I loathe to say it but Halfords do some carbon fibre type decal stuff, I guess usually reseved for Novas, which I could cut to fit. Also, know where I could get the 'twin turbo' badge from? Yours cosmetically, Glenn

I have a set of 16" Zed alloys and tyres for sale. All with 225/50/16 rubber. Two tyres being nearly new and two in okay condition. None of the wheels are curbed. I'm open to offers.

I'm replacing my tension rods(cheers Anders) and my transverse link arm. It's being a right pain in the arse to get the hub up into position to get the link arm ball joint into place. Would I need a spring compressor to compress the shock slightly as I cant shift it! As the front of the car has been off the ground I think the shock and spring are at there full travel and then some! Any help would be great lads, Cheers, Trev

This is just one of those examples why you should never let your wife/girlfriend drive the Z :-)

Who supports who ? Nobody from outside Manchester who eats prawn buttys counts as a real Man u supporter !! Am I pissed again ? (No ? Must be Johnny )

Just been lurking through the posts on this forum...been thinking about buying a ZTT and trying to talk myself into the purchase. If I could just ask a few q's:) Does anyone know anything about the importer Veilside(.co.uk)? I've about £5500 to buy my ZTT, is this a realistic amount of cash to buy a decent Z? (Autotrader.co.uk seems to carry lots of Ads' for Z's between £4k £5.5k, but reading some of the stories on this forum about £500 labour charges on problems worries me) Bottom line, I guess, is that I'm not a rich man, I have gotten an insurance quote for £550/year and .. ah bollocks... it's a supercar. Who cares about mpg etc.. I just should go buy one;-) Se…

Anybody got any idea's or know anybody that is a Z Xpert in my Area? Am willing to travel!! Not too far though.... :o) Matty.

Brand new and still packaged including down pipes and oil lines and gskets. £2500 Decided I want TD05's instead.

Apologies to all but I'm kind of hoping that I've helped someone in the past who is desperate to offer some assistance in return. The Jap spec MX5 has a double DIN stereo and I'm changing one over to a single DIN unit. The only way I've managed to fit it using the standard brackets is dead in the middle of the twin DIN slot so there is a half DIN gap above the unit and another half below. Can anyone suggest somewhere that produces the necessary brackets and blanking plate for a decent installation ? I've spent 2 hours searching the net with no success hence my desperation. To avoid clogging up the forum with non Z posts, feel free to email me at dave@d…

Desperate for at least rear shocks, not too concerned about make.

Guy,s where are MJP? contact number would be nice. Thanks

Always wondered:)?

Followed a Grey Z down the M6 between J32 and J28 near Preston around 17:45 - who was it? Anybody here? Andy
