Hi All, I've been thinking about doing do my auto to manual conversion in my na Zed and as it's harder to get a na clutch kit and more expensive too, wondered if a TT clutch kit would be a simple alternative.

as above which are the best for the Zed and where do you Guys buy them from? Seen a lot of info about the wrong plugs causing driving issues...

I have a '91 NA that has recently undergone some major surgery all at once... mainly a replacement engine and a manual conversion using TT gearbox & parts. :clap: Anyway I got all the fluids done at the weekend but it wouldnt start even after about a minutes worth of cranking, made no improvement in attempting to start so I figured something was up. I haven't checked for spark yet but theres definately fuel, just wondered if I had missed anything with the gearbox conversion? I haven't ground pin 44 on the ECU yet but that wont stop it will it? Will be looking at it tomorrow and unless anyone flags anything up I'll be checking connections & ptu etc.

finally got around to installing my dump to atoms BOV's, they seem to be very quite and don't actually make a Pssssht sound, more a wirrrly sound lol, BUT as im sure im not the only one, and yes i know all about the argument for and against due to metered air, but im actually interested in those who already have dump to atmos, is your car running fine with them and how long have you had yours installed?

Hi guys, The passenger side back box has been banging on the body when lifting off the power. I got underneath it and put it down to the exhaust being in the wrong place on the hangers. I moved it into the right place but within 10 miles it has moved back to where it was and is banging again. What can I check and do to stop it moving? Cheers

trying to arrange club/show meeting at trax .. need to speak to one of club's admin/sec Mobile 07794015646 or 01332 367506 Mark

Right, As I'm keeping the car, thought I should get something to introduce a little more traction. I seen some 19s which will fit, and fill the arches really well. Tyre Sizes would need to be 285/30/19 Rears and 245/25/19 Fronts - respectively. Now I do not race the car, and drive it sensibly, only using the power for over taking - literally. The only reason Im thinking 19s, is as I can't find any 18's to fit the 285 wide rears. Any Ideas or recommendations? I like the Rota Grid Drift Alloys, sometimes referred to as the GTRs. Also like deep dish polished rims. I want something new, but don't want to pay too much as tyres will cost…

Ive seen references to websites on here for auction sites and contacts in japan for sourcing bits ect... Whos recommended? Cheers

Got my steering wheel yesterday so thought Id do a few jobs. Got the electric windows working, radio fitted into the right place, fitted the red stitched gaitors (apart from the armrest as need some glue) and the centre consoles ready for the gauge holders and gauges to go in.. Trying to build up the bottle to cut a hole in my dash. Pics below; I was looking at slowly building a red and black interior and same in the engine as I learn more.. Now ive started Im not so sure.. What do you think...? Also the space below the radio.. What have other people done here. Ive seen Marks gauges which i like but 3 gauges is enough for me..

Got it off my phone and onto the lap top but now stuck any help would be good:angry:

Will a uk spec rear anti roll bar, fit on a jap spec swb. Thanks Paul

Hi there, someone here with AZEV M Classico? want those rims for my zed, couldn´t find anything pricy with 10x18 on the rear... They are 8,5 and 10 with offset of 40 I´d take spacers, if needed, but for getting it "street legal", they should fit without. Pics would be great, also if someone knows 18s with 10 in the rear.... Thanks a lot!

has anyone heard a noise like this before? finally got a good recording. [video=youtube;-dPzK_HmrrY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dPzK_HmrrY&feature=youtu.be

Thanks to Lee for his midnight alteration;) , Its seems to be running a little faster, but that could be my tinternet? and I`ve noticed our names are a little smaller...so what`s new then?

found a nice centre panel i like,anyone got a second hand one or know where i can get one in england[/img]

was cleaning my zed and came across the factory sticker under the arm rest on what tyres are spec for the uk models mine is in factory condition with wider rears at the moment the last owner put on there fronts 215/55/16 and the sticker says i should have 225/50/16 rears 225/55/16 sticker says 245/50/16 i can see im ment to have what the sticker says but the car looks good with whats on there and sits nice any reason why i should change before they need to be if i had to change could i use the rears on the front and just get 245/55/16 for the back anyone got any ideas

Looks like this winter I will be having both sills replaced if I decide to keep the car, where have you guys been having your sills from? Or is it cheaper to get a bodyshop to fabricate them? Many thanks Dan

Guys, I started to remove the engine from my Z yesterday and have removed all the ancillaries and got to the point where I've unbolted the engine mounts (each side of engine). Prop is still in gearbox at the moment (how does this come out - does it just pull out?) Is there a mount at the back of engine? If so, where? I can't seem to see it. Anything else? I'm trying to remove it with gearbox attached - do I need to drop subframe? Cheers

Guy,s, Can anyone reccomend brake pads that do not leave to much dust on the wheels,,,,,,, fed up constantly cleaning them lol Cheerz Chris
