I'm still after some myself, but I gave up looking a few months back... I must be too fussy. 8)

In the endeavor to find my misfire fault I cleaned the butterfly valves on the air intakes as descibed on TT.net. It was really easy and didn't take long using a fine scouring pad and some carb cleaner. What a difference my idle speed increased from 750 to 1800 as the valves were now able to close fully without any carbon stopping them. I turned the idle screw down and it runs much better although the misfire is still there.

Tooley. I found the site last night mate. We both get a mention. They described my motor as the Beast. What Next? You need to come and check out Porn Stars 300 We finished the interior last night. Mark , Dammo and Phil caught the action. Dammo and my good self managed to get a tug from St Helens Dibble. "You have to expect to be stopped driving around in one of these. By the way what is it?" FOOLS.

Well I took the Z down to Chamonix in the French Alps for the weekend and it's longest run yet. I loaded the boot with tools (safety precaution)and headed off, it was great down the Peage at 100 and with a few blasts upto 140-150 it ran great. Fortunately Chamonix was low enough not to have snow and very little ice however on the sunday I decided to head over the Alps to Switzerland. Once up a few hundered meters their was snow on the ground and the Z felt very twitchy, going down a slight gradient I put the car in 1st (mines an Auto) and drove very slowly with the tail gently sliding from left to right, it felt like the hicas was going mad but was probably just the r…

Hello, Just put a mobile phone kit in the car and I'm not putting the phone holder in the usual places, as it's in the way of passenger and I like to have as little on show as possible. As anyone installed it anywhere out of the norm? Currently I'm considering putting it in the central storage box, obviously I would not be able to see the screen very easily. But with auto answer and one key dialing I don't think it's going to bother me to much... Cheers, Jez. ps. I assume one has had interferance problems with other systems in the car? I've tried to be careful routing the aerial, but the traction control and ABS take a similar route.... 8) ... jus…

Anyone here got that silver jap-spec Z with white wheels ? I keep seeing it in or near Wolverton near Milton Keynes.

Hi Has anyone here used this dealer for service on their Z ? If so, were they any good / do u recommend them ?

Hi everyone, I know you didn't see me on this forum before, but I've been a long time active user of the TT.NET and an addicted Zer for a long time now. My Z is a pearl white NA (yes, I do miss the turbines, haha! plan on moving to a Stage III+ TT soon though) with tan interior. My name is Maciek (fonetics Machek) and I live in Poland, where my Z is a very rare car - you probably won't believe this but I've been able to convince girls that it's in fact a Ferrari a couple of times already... you know where this is heading right? :))) For a few months I've been working on a very nice, IMO, and new product for the Z scene. What I'm talking about is genuine, g…

I seem to have a strange bleep from somewhere in the centre console (I think). It only starts after a few minutes driving and the gap between bleeps stops or goes slower when the car slows down. Does anyone know what this could be....

Sorry to keep everyone in suspense but I spoke to MRI today (the company I'm planning to use) and their 2001 brochure has been delayed. They assure me I will receive it next week. As soon as I do I'll post details on here and I'll be aiming to book up quickly. Will probably need £50 deposit per person - and, if it's the same as this year, prices will be based on two people per car. Dave

Hello everyone... Seems that I'll be working in London (UK) for some time....anyone interested in some Z talk ? Zee you Henri

Something happened while I was driving home from work tonight that got me spooked! I was followed (it seems) from Barking north london through the Blackwall tunnel to south london by two blokes in a black BMW 3 series (85 shape). Now some of you may be thinking christ Trev get a grip, they may have been travelling the same way as you. Well I thought so too, but just in case I jumped a red light and pulled into a petrol station to fill up. The BMW passed the petrol station turned around and pulled up 100 yards or so down the road. After paying I thought right lets see if they follow. I left the petrol station and in the rear view saw the BMW slowly move off to follow and j…

Does NE1 know where I can purchase a reasonable set of front rotors. Something that is better than stock and not too expensive. I am currently using Green stuff pads on stock rotors and their more warped than Gary Glitter. Cheers, Andy

Simply, how do you change the god dam thing?
