Here's my dilemma I'm steering towards replacing the rear knuckles on the shortie' with Driftworks Geomaster 2's, this will mean that I can wrap on trying to beat the old OEM balljoints/bushes. The whole setup would then be brand new. The problem that I have is this, despite the DW website stating that they will fit a Z32 I had my doubts, so I did a bit more investigating. This is what the DW shop states in the Q&A section: Product Questions: Q: Will this Race Hub Knuckle kit work on a Z32 TT? A: Rears will, fronts won't As it turns out they will fit but only on the proviso that you cut the bottom forks off the coilover and w…

Could anyone tell me if I buy a set of 19" rims with a 9.5" rear and 8.5 fronts what size tyres I need. I know I can run 235's on front and 265's on rear but what profile do they need to be????:confused1:

Any advice much appreciated:cool3:

The wheels on my manual twin turbo I bought a few weeks back are aftermarket. They are 17" rims fitted with 225 45 17's. On close inspection of the rims I found them to be 7j which means that the tyre size is already the maximum I can get on them. I have arranged to have a set of goodyear f1 225 45's fitted next Saturday for £490. I am worried that these tyres are not big enough and I would be better off waiting and getting wider rims, could anyone tell me what the stock wheel size is for a tt, any other advice would be appreciated.

Hi My N/A Z just died driving along today. One minute accelerating well, next minute all ignition lights on - engine stopped running. AA attended and check stuff over, they say on paperwork:- 5v + 12v present, fuel pressure OK Switching OK to coil +12v + Earth. Suspect injectors not switching (unable to access) He pulled a coil out and stuck a plug in but no spark even though 12v/earth/switching all present on test. Car being recovered by AA in an hour or so. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers Paul

I originally started building my ICE install in the Black and yellow Z but it's since been scrapped so here we go again in the grey one. All the false floor that I built is now pretty much destroyed as it wasnt intended to come out again really, and once sound deadening material is fitted, it isnt coming off again. After a long time waiting for the necessary welding in the boot to get done on the grey Z, I can finally get on with it again. Ive already got all the wiring in and test fit things but it sounds rubbish compared to how it was with the deadening and dampening. This time, I have chosen to go for the more expensive option of fat mat extreme. I am really …

Bought some Volk Racing wheels in desperate need of a refurb. That's being done but in the meantime I am after some new centre caps for them as the ones that came with them have also seen better days, but I can't seem to find any anywhere! They have a 75mm diameter and are just basic flat plastic ones. Anyone got any idea where I can find some? Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Well today i thought i would pop into work to start work on my rear arches. So first i had to pop into town to get some petrol. So as i came to a roundabout (little on no island) there was a bloke in a corsa wanting to come the other way. so i set off and i noticed a transit tipper comming down the hill and the guy was looking at the Zed. so much his head was following me around then oooooppppsss he went into the back of the corsa:scared: Everyone was ok and there was little damage. he was doing under 10mph, so my zed caused a crash:whistling: Anyway got to the petrol station put £45 in and i got 3/4 of a tank from empty, normally about £75/£80. B…

I want my interior light to come on when I unlock it so I can find it in the dark. It seems it's a novelty that's taken for granted by most people with modern cars. I wanna bring my Zed up to date with a few little trick bits like that. Does anyone know of some kind of aftermarket kit that will do that? Or maybe even one to bring the sidelights on...

Well I finally got round to getting my spare set of front calipers rebuilt and all back together. I striped them down monday and sent them off to be shot blasted and powder coated. I bought 8 new pistons from godspeed and a new seal kit from fleabay (biggred) and done as follows. Insert new seal in the chamber Then I put the new piston seals onto the new pistons Then insert the piston into the cailper chamber Then put the C clip round the the rubber seal of coarse you need to this 4 times then remeber to put the rubber seal that go between the two halfs of the caliper before you bolt them together …

Tried to do a compression test on the engine before it comes out but don't think there is enough life in the battery as result were all over the place 50-125psi and the turnover speed wasn't great. I only wanted to have a quick check to decide whether or not to change the head gaskets while the engine is out. Do I spend time messing about charging the battery or shall I just do the gaskets to be safe?

Anybody seen this before? :) http://z32.wikispaces.com/Production

Hi All, I've search the site and look through FAQs and model history etc but can't see anything about LWB and SWB models, however when looking at the cars for sales I notice that some people list their car as LWB and some as SWB. Whats the deal? whats the different in length? When was each made? Which is regarded as best in terms of handling? Anything else you think I should know!? Thanks in advance. Matt
