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…

Hi guys, Just looking through the history and the belt on my car was last changed as part of the major 60k service 5 years ago at Zedworld. Car had covered 58k then, sitting on 75k now. The handbook says the interval is 60k and nothing about or 7 years etc like you usually see. So when should the belt be changed? As I only do about 2-3k miles a year another 40k is a long way off lol. Cheers.

Recently bled my clutch and adjusted the travel in the pedal, everything seemed great for a while, but when I backed her out yesterday the clutch point had moved from the mid point of travel to virtually the top. Is my clutch on the way out? or have I incorrectly set something.

best traffic jam ive ever been in, was a great day [/img][/img][/img]

Just like to say a big thank you to both Chris (CK300z) and Keith (KJZ32). To Chris for all the tea and help with my spark plugs, cheers mate much appreciated. To Keith for all the help with my spark plug change, and sorting my starter motor problem, thanks Keith. See you both soon. Also, good to see you Dave (car.mad), sorry the screen didn't work out buddy.

I have the named above turbo timer, from comments ive read its very JDM and very rare, not sure how true that last bit is, but it cant get any more JDM as not only is Blitz Japanese, but it also speaks to you when you turn the ignition on and turn the ignition off in a Japanese woman's voice. Anyway, on to my issue, now i can turn the voice off and on, thats not the problem, i just cant understand spoken Japanese to actually know what shes saying, she could be saying "your cars going to blow up, have a nice day" for all i know. so. Anyone here who can understand spoken Japanese willing to translate for me? Q69UiquKllw
