Well. Just wondering if anyone had ever put p a spec list of ideal parts for certain engine builds.....? You know, like a reliable 400bhp engine build etc....? Just curious :)

Just sorted through the pile of parts that have been gathering for a few months to see what I've actually got and get it loaded for going to the garage tomorrow, calipers still need sanding and another couple of coats of paint. Think I've got everything needed for a good overhaul if summer ever shows up...

Ever since I got my Zed the washer jets keep getting blocked due to stuff in the bottle. The fact I pretty much always use the car in dry weather only and thus don't use the wipers much can't help. Is there any easy way to clean out the bottle without stripping the car down to get to it? Cheers.

gotta love the guys description. http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/3109768557.html

As above, went to the Retro Show at Santa Pod and had a brilliant morning, sorry I missed Rustysills... Did a couple of runs up the strip to compare my LWB n/a to my old SWB n/a... was expecting mid 16's which is quite respectable for a 17 year old stock n/a and wasnt far out...trouble is I enjoyed it that much I may have the bug again :) Retro Show.PDF

Hi all, New to the world of zx and indeed this forum. I own a z32 1990 tt. I have an electrical issue which has baffled me. Basically when I start the car now, my wipers (front and rear), heating - basically anything on the pod on the left of the steering wheel doesnt work. In addition to that the cigerette lighter doesnt work, nor does the folding mirrors or electrical adjust side mirrors. Also the break light doesnt work when i press the pedal. Although when I have the lights on the first setting break lights do work. I think its an issue with the fuses or the ignition positive wire going to all of these. Any thoughts on how to fix or diagn…

I'm assuming It was Rich from Saltburn. looked quite tidy. have you got any pictures of it?

As promised so sorry its late. car now gone so I could retrieve the exhaust:biggrin:

Print of and place in your window :P

can anyone tell me if the jap aluminium front calipers are a straight swap for the uk steel ones on a tt there are some on here and am interested

Put my zed in for its mot on thursday....not a happy result. Failed on front pads...sorted already (fitted new ones) Drivers half-shaft was loose.....sorted Popping noise coming from the front passenger wheel under heavy breaking. This is the one thats baffling me. The tester said to check the security of all the suspension arms. I did this and didnt find any problems. Just spent the past 6 hours raking my brains but have no idea where to go next! Any suggestions?

I'm trying to establish what upgrades (if any) had been done on the replacement TT engine i need to fit. Garage said they had a pair of T4 turbos that were fitted but going to keep for another project, they believed the engine was producing aro,und the 400hp mark but I will take that with a pinch of salt at the moment. I will fit the standard T25's? from the faulty motor, unless I can find something better, but can any one throw some light on why the T4's would have been chosen and what else may have been changed to work with them (ECU upgrade perhaps) as most discussions online talk of the T28's being the favoured option. Going on Garrets site makes no sen…

Seems when my water pipe split at the back of the engine, it caked the UJ, stripping all the carlube id used on it off, and then seizing it up in one direction, got it off today, and lubed it up again and worked it into the joints, its loosened it a bit but will definitely need replacing. but there ya go, there was me thinking it might be the actual steering rack, well if anyone get a split pipe at the back of the engine above the uj, best check it after

Any locals nearby with experience to check out a car with me? I only have a pretty basic knowledge and need someone who knows the z inside out. BTW anyone know this car? Cheers!

Im in somerset. Jimmer isnt far. But I really need a garage, close to home where I can go and get stuff done on an as needed basis. As you probably read on my other thread, getting someone to do my PAS pipe has been a nightmare. I would rather use JeffTT for work, but he is quite far for such a minor job. I just dont want to go paying 2 or 3 hours labour for such a little job. The car is low mileage with no rust and I think it should be pretty straight forward with the right tools. Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated. Who does everyone else in the Area use?

im needing to change my door speakers ,,do the front covers just pop off or do i have to take the door card off

Took my car to the garage to get the PAS pipe changed. Garage said leave it with us 2 hours will give you a call when its done. I walked into town for two hours, went back, car was parked up outside and I thought goody :D Went in to pay, and was told sorry we couldnt change the pipe, looks like a specialist job. I thought wtf! they are meant to be a garage, a PAS pipe is a PAS pipe at the end of the day. But what really wound me up was that they left me out in town for two hours, wasting my time - not letting me know they couldnt do the job. Anyway, I went home, took the two left intercooler pipes of, jacked the car up, and couldnt undo the bolt at th…

I've always thought the 300ZX rear lights were way behind the stunning lines of the rest of the car. A bit of a mid eighties design arcing back to the 70's trans am look and for me a little too fussy. Why couldn't they make the rears as modern and sexy as the fronts? so began my quest to do something a little more interesting and my inspiration was coming from the traditional sports car look of twin red circles either side i.e Ferrari, Corvette, Skyline. The question was Where from? and how?!! so, I started looking around until one day at The Goodwood Breakfast Club I came across a KTM Crossbow!! Bingo!! Just what wanted!! Now I just had to source th…

think my zeds made its intentions clear today, took it to ssr to see what it was running like, coming off the M25 i noticed my auto box stopped working properly, will not shift higher then 2ed + o/d, thinking it was a couple of mile to SSr id look at it there well, and about 1/2 mile before i got there it emptied its radiator, through a meter matrix hose.... fixed it, and filled it back up with water dyno showed good AFR, same boost but less power....??? baring in mind its got less weight on the crank and japspeed elbows, and bigger turbos, it cant be good. to cut a long story short it made it home, but its running hotter then normal, and the ge…
