hey, does anyone have a way on getting it out of the bearing and making sure it won't get damaged? the reason is that my mechanic had to take the rear hub off to put on the new bycas (HICAS eliminator) system but because the shaft was stuck in the bearing has now said that the bearing needs to be done and he can't guarantee he won't be able to get it out without damaging the shaft. it's rusted in (from what he said)... :(

Hi need to split the prop, I have tried getting a thin blade/edge in between the what I think are the 2 mating/touching surfaces, but no joy. Any help greatly appreciated

I've removed the hicas and the splints from my Tt pump and got myself a n.a. steering pot but the pipe that attaches the pot to the pump with jubalee clips is too big a diameter for the pot but fine on the pump side. has the pot got different size feeds from Tt to n.a. ? and/or what's the solution :cheers

Hey all, i have been a browser for a while never registered. I have owned several TT zeds over the years , and now with the permission of the misses i am in the market for one :) Anyway, problem i am having is finding a car at the minute so thought i would post up here to see if anyone is looking at selling. Looking for a twin turbo and i am in the lower budget of 1500/2000 Now before anyone says i need a bigger budget i have been watching them go on ebay etc for the last few months for this money but now i have the cash they all dissapeared ;), im not expecting perfect just a mechanically good teested zed ;) I can be contacted by emai as i understand i can…

is there any difference between the jdm autobox ecu and a uk spec autobox ecu? can they cause any issues with gear changeing??? has anyone fitted the hks alc and are there any benefits or can they shorten the life of the auto box

Right i was reading another thread and something that i took from that was if you have to much air and not enough fuel you will melt your pistons from running to lean. Now my question is if you put a after market air filter on your car like i have Jeff. and in my case the air filter size and potentally the cubic inch of air intake over the norm set up is greatly increased is there a chance of this? i now you said my car was pluged into a cunzult after doing a cambelt but can you explane to us thickes how this works? and why there is no threat of the melt down. what stops that is it your set up or is it something else . ? thanks.

Are they the same size or are they shorter on the SWB?

I have started to take a look at this problem today. Tried another speedo. Not working. Problem here is I dont know if its a good unit or not?? Looked at speed sensor on car and according to Jeffs pictures its all OK. However I just want to check if thats the case. according to the thread Jeff says it produces a pulsing signal of around 1 to 5 volts AC. Can I measure that with a Fluke multmeter with the rear wheels being driven up on axle stands If so is it the V with the little wave above on the Fluke unit that I need to set it to?? Dont laugh!!! I dont normally do diagnostics and meters!!!:clown: Since the speedo never worked from day one of building…

So whilst the rain was beating down on the roof of the workshop this afternoon I stripped a nice zed for a cambelt service. After 14 years of belt changes I still get the occasional giggle from what I find, a stuck open themostat, well that is par for the course it seems these days, even the incorrectly set tensioner was nothing new but the monkey who was last in here fitted the cambelt back to front!!! why would you even do that? goes against the very core of how to do these jobs and more about lack of attention to detail. Now most belts come with timing marks on and a little arrow to point the belt the correct way, I am guess t…

It's where the bottom of the shock connects to the rear axel housing Credit goes to Jeff for the diagram which I have hijacked from another thread :ninja: Number '4' is pointing to the part that contains the bush Does anyone a. know what it's called b. know where I can get a couple? :blush:

Hi Was wondering if anyone can help, i have a zed none turbo, it seems to rev upto 2k rpm after warm up and remains there and sometimes it goes back down to 800rpm, it does it on a regular basis, i feel like it remains on choke but not sure, please help:no:

Hi all, I got my Z on the road for the first time last week since buying it and fixing her up a bit over the last few months. My main issue is poor running (almost likeits missing on a cyclinder, constant shake to the car and poor power), but i'm going to check injectors and coil packs in the next few days. what I would mainly like to ask about is my oddometer.. i've done some reading and can find symptoms of speedometers cutting out at certain speeds, not working when cold due to dry joints, not working entirely, oddometers not working at all.. However I cant find any reference to an oddometer running at a lesser value... I just filled up £50 of Vpower, and …

Hi all I have acquired a blitz setup consisting of the boost controller , power meter and turbo timer. Aparrently all 3 units talk to one another and its a plug and play setup, apart from the tubing to the solenoid of course. Has anybody got / used this setup in the past, is it any good. Looking for opinions before I see about having it fitted.

Well as some of you know im finnaly getting my car striped and ready for the paint shop and whilst doing this im just having question or two about the window rubbers.

Once again another exhaust question from me :confused:... After some looking about I've managed to find a veilside exhaust, its up for nearly a grand but it's a full system with resonated front pipes. So to keep cost down, I was guna keep my 2.5" frontpipes, and just get the Cat back, I'm sure I read somewhere a 3" veilside kit will bolt straight onto a 2.5" standard system, and i'm assuming my front pipes will be the same dimensions as the standard cats. but the guy said it'll need adapters to fit, or is he just saying this to get rid of the full system? Any ideas guys?

can you tell me what insurance you have please, and who you use.cheers

Near some cross roads (Mc-D's) on bk street parked in front of some Biz units think it was church street who are you :)

Remember its only to run a £50 cheap stereo:blush: I dont really do ICE!!

Now I've always thought the Z32 was an attention grabber, but today really did prove that. I don't normally take my car to shows as there are never any around in the 'reasonably local area' and there are never any I like (car guy type car shows)...ie, for me, 'Donny' and 'Modified Madness' are my ideas of hell! But we're lucky that in Bristol, there's a monthly meet called the Avenue Drivers' Club that meets at Queen's Square in Bristol, only 5 miles from my house which is in Portishead. What's awesome about this monthly gathering is that it caters for the true car guy, so no riced out heaps with nasty bodykits and tacky modifications, this was full of Ferrari 348s, 355s,…

My clutch is slowly loosing pressure and fluid, 30mm over a week I guess. Anyways I suspected it to be the braided line I fitted last summer, bit annoying as I've only done about 1500 miles since then. Another member had the same issue, we both brought them at the same time, so maybe it was a dodgy batch. I checked it today and there's a sweaty patch half way down and a damp patch on the box to correspond. So I'm pretty damn sure this is the problem. Anyone else had this issue? Il be phoning te person who supplied it, anyone know what the cost of a new slave is aswel, that's the only other thing it could be.
