Hi, My AC is working and blows cool air, but sometimes (especially if car has been used and then only parked for 15 minutes) it is like the air is not getting into the car. It can also happen when driving, and then it happens after about 20 - 30 minutes. The amount / volume of air that will pass through the vents in the dash will reduce to about 20% of normal. I can hear the fan still running, and some air is getting through. Also if I change (it is a 1993 Series 2 car with Auto Climate which I can manually change direction of air on) the direction of air, it seem like it is making a difference, and air distribution is changing (a bit hard to say, since volume of air…

Someone somewhere posted up about repairing/resoldering a speed sensor. (possibly Jeff) I have tried a couple of searches but not found it. Anyone know where this info is??? Im fed up with not having a working speedo and my MOT man might notice it although he didnt last year and its possibly not part of the test anyway.

Hi Guys, In the middle of a cambelt replacement and I need to pick up a set of pulleys, 1 x tensioner pulley and 2 guide pulleys for a Z32 TT... Does anyone have a set that they wan't to part with, or a set that has hardly had any use?! I really don't have the £250 for a new set of pulleys from Zedworld this month :( Best, William

The zed I might be buying tomorrow is really nice and I'm looking forward to it. But the owner doesn't know when the cambelt was done but says the previous owner was an enthusiast and a mechanic. How much does it cost generally for a cambelt change?

Has anyone on this site had this car previously? Ive been told the last owner has looked after this car for 16 years, and would have thought they would be or have been on here? If not this is the car im looking to buy, its a uk car exterior looks a little worn, if anyone who could check the compression and ECU for faults ie on conzult (its in Maidenhead) give me a price before I take my journey. Regards

Does anyone know whether you can purchase a classic car warranty, ive found a zed I think. However, to get my finance I need the car to have a warranty!! The company wont give the car a warranty due to the age of the car. thnx in advance

This moment really make me see how beautiful its a Z on road. I was on a black BMW convertible.

Hi guys just getting the Z ready for MOT, and one of the dip lights are dim, but the bulb looks fine, so thinking its the earth somewhere, does anyone know where the earth is as I cant seem to see it. cheers Tom

Hi. Since one of the bolt where rusted and the other broke I ordered new ones from czp. There is two sizes to the bolt. The end into the rear of the diff is ok, but I have problems getting a hold of a nut that fits the bolt on the subframe side on the bolt. Anyone know what size it is? I know it's M14 but that is about it...

Im getting the same noise that seems to get better once the engine has warmed up. I was told that the Greddy cam belt ive got is known to be noisy as its made of carbon and doesn't stretch. Others have said the belt is to tight. Has anyone else got a Greddy belt installed. Thanks Dan

I decided to spray my spare set of coil packs white, which worked a treat I think (see pics) I also sprayed the little bolts that hold the brackes onto the coil packs in red - which matches the colour scheme of my engine bay nice In the meantime I got the brackets off the coil packs powder coated - which also look great but the stupid thind is some monkey at the powder coaters got coating into the threads! So I managed to get one put back together by scraping around in the thread with my screwdriver and driving the bolt in and out until with some force I got them far enough in to hold the bracket tight The pics look cool (I think anyway) but how best to ge…

Bought my last one from Halfords - the one their book suggested had the terminals the wrong way round, so I ended up buying one that was slightly too small instead (but with the terminals the correct way round). But that one appears to have died now so I need another and it would be nice to get the correct one this time - where do people get them for their Zeds?

Just a quick survey as I'm nearly at end of building my engine I had the cam covers prepped shot blasted but the guy said it would melt the plastic bits inside the baffle the oil drains So who's had em powder coated and did ya just leave the plastic drain pieces drop to bits Regards rich

Hi all, Ive been driving the car around the yard on a fresh rebuild and ive noticed that there is alot of pressure built up in the fuel tank. I dont remember this to be a problem 6 years ago when I was driving it last lol. Im wondering if its anything to do with the uprated fuel pump or if this is a result of the carbon canister removal all done after I took the car off the road. Any ideas? Cheers Dan
