I’ve a few bits and bobs getting powder coated and when I dropped them off the owner said that the OEM look would probably be semi gloss. Does this sound right to you guys or should it be full gloss? Cheers, Chris.

Has anyone got a cheap alternative to this part? I had to brake mine removing my bumper and now need to replace it and don’t want to pay that much for such a silly little part. Cheers, Chris.

I will be dropping in new style injectors in place of old style. I am getting them with a whole oem fuel rail. Do i need the lower intake manifold aswell? I cant seem to find any information that i do. Is there anything else i need to get apart from new plugs?

Hi every one. is there any suggestions which oil is better to put for twin-turbo? Before i used Lucas Oil 10w-30 high zinc, (it was recommended on Z website).

I collected my Zed from Jimmer's yesterday - after dropping it off 2 weeks ago for a few bits..... Including: Full cambelt, all pulleys and tensioners, water pump, thermostat - basically the whole 120k "works" Oil and filter change Replace autobox fluid Fitting my new (non-scratched) driver's side window Sorting ABS light fault (replacing NSR sensor) AC regas MOT - for which I needed both HICAS joints and the NSF balljoint replaced On top of that, Jimmer replaced 3 crank/cam oil seals and bled the ABS pump.

Hi all, i have attached the power supply routing diagram to my thread. Could anyone I.D the symbols i have highlighted in red. I have discovered i have no power to the fuses under the bonnet at the passenger side. Got no headlights, main beam and horn. Looking at the diagram i see that the power comes from the fusable link. Im checking for power there today. From the link it goes back to the battery via the symbols i don't know. Also could you spread some light on where the fuse is that I've circled in the headlamp diagram. I have checked all footwell fuses twice and they are all ok. Does all the headlight wiring come across in the main loom by the radiator …

I started cleaning my headlights today and want to be as thorough as possible. I think I can get a much better finish if I could separate the glass from the housing. Has anyone done this and if so what did you use as a gasket when refitting the glass as I can’t find new gaskets? Chris.

So seemingly out of the blue both sides of my zed seem to be letting water in from the roof which is dripping directly onto both from seats. I discovered this over the weekend after deciding to go for a nice drive out with the Mrs, everything was going swimmingly up until I departed the car to get a Subyway lunch and noticed my arse was sodding wet. It's not a fun experience lining up for a couple of footlongs with noticeable wet stains on the back of your keks. After returning home and inspecting my girlfriends bum I can confirm it's both sides leaking. Anyway - this is what it looks like from the inside (the car that is) https://imgur.com/a/FUhSlIC …

Another great show over and done with for this year. Many thanks to the volunteer exhibitors for their time and toil, meeting and greeting, talking about the club and the cars to everyone who showed an interest. A very special thanks to Ian and his crew, who yet again made our stand the most impressive among our peers and neighbours, and the easiest stand to identify in Hall 8 ?, even if there was a tense nervous moment on setup day while waiting for the structural engineer to visit and give us the OK. The show organiser for clubs even commented on how fantastic our stand looked when she visited. For those members who managed to visit over the weekend,…

I still take the odd look online for Z related things as I like the cars and had to post about this sexy piece of kit I noticed online, no idea if it is any good but here you go: EPR Twin Billet Carbon VG30DE(TT) Intake Manifold. What do you think, is it any good apart from just the looks?

Hi all, I'm still in the process of chasing a problem on my headlights. When following the diagrams how true do you find the colouring for the wires. No matter what I'm doing there are always wires not corresponding to electrical diagrams. I've the copies of diagrams from online manuals but are there any that are coloured or have a bit more clarity. Cheers

Going to do a full flush of the coolant in the next week or so. What is the best antifreeze to use and in what ratio?

The Zed has gone! Exchanged in a piece of horse trading for a new filtration set up for my borehole. Swapped for about £5000 worth of kit. I was trying to be sad but still got the grin from the new daily

i know this has been asked before but i've just had my front number plate bracket refurbed so looking at putting a smaller front plate on (my car is jdm) i've read smaller front plates should have 64mm high lettering. however i've ordered a plate 12x3 which turned up this morning but it only has 55mm high lettering. is this too small? i'm sure i've seen plates that size on imports before.

Guys Is there a resource anywhere that lists all the led lights required to convert the dash / courtesy / pod lights etc to LED ? There are kits on eBay but none seem Z32 specific. Something to do on these cold winter nights :-) Thanks for any pointers.

Hi everyone. Maybe someone know good diagnostic service for my vg30dett? Do not want go to the service who don't know nothing about this engines. Basically problem is with first cylinder. Probably it misfire. I checked all coil packs, they working, new spak plugs, yesterday I check spark plugs again all looks the same. But when I put them back from exhaust come out white smoke(maybe it was after rain, because I didn't drive for 1 week) When I'm disconnect plug from coil pack, nothing changing.. Other cylinders fine. Compression also low 128psi in all cylinder same compression. So I think maybe problem with ecu.. And maybe there is a point to clean injectors.. Is there…
