I've just had the car in to a 'specialist to have a few bits looked over. He put it on a dynomometer.. It's only delivering an estimated 280 BHP!! :crying: (It's faster than that!!) Anyway, the reason for my post is this. He reckons the front crank seal is weeping oil. Go on tell me, how bad a job is it? I'll be drowning my sorrows if you need me!!

Chaps, I know this has probably been asked a million times, but for the life of me i can find an actual how-to on removing the top two spark plugs. I.e the 2 under the balance bar. is there a trick to doing it without removing the bar completely??? If not what do i need to look out for before removing everything off the bar.... Thanks again. James

I'm seriously considering putting an NA subframe/diff on my TT, and just wondering what I could get for my TT rear end, it has all 4 HICAS ball joints just replaced and only driven a couple of miles, and has all been off the car, angle grinder wire brushed good style and all painted in gloss black smooth hammerite, you could eat you dinner off it, how much do you think I could get for it? I understand it wouldn't be much normally, but as it has all new ball joints and is all painted, it may be what someone is after... Cheers, Tudor...

On my car I have aftermarket 17" alloys with 225 45 17 tyres which are all knackered. I like the rims and planned to replace tyres with goodyear eagle f1's or Michelin pilot sports or something like that, but now I wonder are the rims and tyres too skinny and should I be looking at a wider rim and tyre set up. Why do owners go for a wider tyre set up, surely you would think that Nissan would have designed it with the super icas to give optimum handling?

hi whats with the aerial on the passenger side of the front bumper whats it for and how does it work cheers trev

has anyone got the bush for the gear stick bottom? its under gators.

I'll give it a couple more coats of satin black on Tuesday, then it'll be ready for decals (anyone a photoshop guru?) it's getting there :thumbup1:

I've got a passenger door handle and drivers mirror, both in metallic grey, to put up on ebay soon and I was wondering how much I should put them up for. How much would they typically be worth? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/718/20120212155546.jpg/

i know a few people have these are are rating them very highly, but what is the name of the company that produce these copies please? thier available through ebay.

right i've got a strange issue, a few weeks ago my zed got towed home as it ran out of fuel, after the light came on 10 secs before ( genuinely ) since then some mornings she'll start up with a misfire??? but it only seems to be when the fuel is low (not quite past the empty line) and its not all the time either just sometimes, ill get to work leave her then a few hours later she starts fine ? any one got any ideas or heard of anything similar, the guys at the garage just keep telling me to get a new car...:mad2:..gits... anyway, one of them recons i should try a new set of coil packs, im thinking i could be a fuel pressure issue or a clogged filter fro…

Some pics of my Bailey dump valves fitted, and the Toyo smic's that are going on :)

Well im off to watch the Wales Scotland game today, but I dont know who to shout for as I am English, I think we need Scotland to win if England has any chance at the Grand Slam. I think I will be wearing a Gloucester shirt today LOL Allan

I want to take my car to jeffs to get a few thing sorted and a few little mods. I want him to fit a Na diff. one piece prop and my lightend pullys. If it worth fitting a lightend fly wheel?? I have heard that you lose torque and some lads said on facebook z32 club said they wished they never did it, when they change gear ect the rev drop really quick and make it horrible to drive?? Is it going to be woth the £500+ to get it done and will i notice it with the other mods??

With all my contacts i cant seem to find anywhere that does decat pipes for the shorties. From what i know downpipes and backboxes are the same for SWB and LWB but it all gets a bit different for decats. Also LWB has the X pipe bit in it to make up the extra length. So are the decats for LWB and SWB the same or where can i get hold of decats pipes for a shorty turbo? Marty

i dont know what state the turbos are in, but they dont smoke presently. i have had a set of japspeed decats in my shed for a while now, but just the front decat not the downpipes from the turbos. so two questions first can i use these are or they for an n/a? second shouldi use them or am i asking for trouble, i think the cats are a bit restrictive at prestent. so whats the vote? i dont wanna have to recon the tubs as im on a budjet and it would be a pain in the ass pulling the block.

hi is there any links to do a rear fog install for the mot cheers trev

how much are the one piece props. not interested in the carbon ones. steel will do thanks

My reverse lights no longer work for some unknown reason... No voltage at the holders, bulbs are fine. Used the search function and found some pre-historic thread about wether a zed can outrun a police chopper.. Had a look at the wiring diagram and my brain turned to mush... Is there any easy connections i can check? Any help appreciated, thanks.

Now i have the car drivable :-), i have no ps at all. I have deleted the hicas and have replaced the fluid TT pot with a N/A pot and blanked off the side hose on my tt pump. The top hose runs along the pump and down to the subframe. The rear hoseline is to the pot The side of the pump went to the hicas and is now blanked off. Has anyone done a hicas delete keeping the tt pump? If so have you any pics/diagrams of how you replumbed yours please.
