Took the bloke a few goes to do the centre caps done due to the corrosion, but they're finally finished. Photo's not too great i'll try and get some better ones tonight when i get it off the drive, tried a little instagram magic on the last one....

Over the weekend heading south just near J40 of the M6 in the inside lane, I overtook you in my astravan. I know not a car usually featured on here but I'm sure we had a chap, prbayantknight was it? That had a replica, wondered if by chance it was you? Looking very cool - even if I am a little young to remember the series!

Hiya, Does it matter which injector plug goes to which cylinder? I know coil plugs needs to be sorted by colours to each of the cylinders but is it same for injectors?

Well that's the Zed bought and paid for still to be picked up tho! So I went and picked up it's replacement yesterday - 10th Anniversary so only 600 came to the UK with some Bilsteins, Torsen LSD and close ratio 6 Speed :) Really happy with it and the plans are an Eaton Supercharger next year at some point! Obviously I'll still frequent these forums as the banter is 2nd to none but alas no more Nikita (My Zed's name lol ) Take it easy guys (and gals) :thumbup1: Mark

Think ive done this before but does anyone now where i can get a front seat belt extender for my 300

Ok guys n gals since Im not a TT owner then I dont have a lot of experience of looking at turbos. If I told you I had a Turbo techics hybrid turbo(Well a pair for a 300) how would you know thats wot they were?? Size/shape/ markings on castings etc.??? Do they need "special" bits of manifold?? Or do they replace stock turbos?? Do they look the same/different to stock ones. How can you tell a stock one??? Help!:confused1: :stupid:

OK First things first.............. This thread is not about what you prefer to drive. Its about the price difference between an auto and a manual of the same spec. So... lets just assume its a 1995 Ser4 TT Slicktop. Secondly lets assume the other specs are all identical and Factory. So... if the Auto is worth/being sold at ..say £3K How much more(if any) is the same car in manual form.??? And is there a difference between factory manwell spec and "converted later"??? Im fairly sure its worth more but by how much??? Sits back.............................

as above just got back from the test station today was mot day for the zed and it cost all of £2.40 for a number plate lamp to get it through :clap::thumbup1::clap: looks i'm set for another year of zedding!

My z recently failed it emissions test for the mot the left bank, could anybody tell me the likely cause, could it be the turbo as they both have their own intercoolers?

Title speaks for itself. I'm in Dorset and my Zed needs a new clutch. Where's good and reasonably priced?

think this is pretty awesome to be honest lol [Youtube]nzNbdRrfbe0 Love this guys excuse, "i went camping and got bored", lol camping in a zed, top man. UMA99pUkzD4 Defo dont like the max camber look on the red one, but interesting place for the oil cooler its got, the black one has a very nice dash gauge mod on the passenger side of the car thats worth looking out for. nWm6vNP8fHQ N/A converted to TT 300zx (seems to be the thing to do in the US) vs the sports edition of the 370z UAjbGX7cBxA Home made z31 with working lights lol, awesome 5CimU4eXj-M

Should the actuators be on the same side of the both? Mine are, ie passenger side its close to the inner wing and drivers side its by the engine....

I want a few bits made up in carbon fibre. Not dipped and not wrapped. I want it real. Anyone know of anyone that does it or a company? I'm in the south west so my area is preferred. Throw me a bone.

I will try and explain this problem and everything I have tried to fix it. 1. The car will not start but turns over. 2. Occasionally between starting attempts the car makes a cough as if its going to start then continually turns over with nothing. 3. Fuel pressure, Compression, Spark, Injectors, Airflow meter, Ignition Amplifier all changed and fault remained. These next two point may enlighten someone to recognize this problem. 4. I remove the intake pipes from the inter cooler to the throttle flaps and spray some easy start into either of the flaps then attempt to start it the car starts purring perfectly and runs with no problem obviously until the easy…

Trying to contact you. Paul
