Hi all, I've finally had time to pop to my girlfriends for the weekend and have taken some pictures of my car. Im hoping you guys can help me identify the aftermarket mods and any missing parts from my engine bay. I've listed what I can see and what I think stuff is, but feel free to tell me if im wrong! For those that don't know I bought this as a non-runner a few weeks ago and am going to pull the engine out in the NY and find out what's gone wrong. The car has what a few people have described as 'an old school Japanese setup'. Also, can someone tell me how to embed my photos at full size as everyone else seems to be able to do. When I do it I can only get a thumbn…

Hi there all, Really don't know what to do with my interior. At the moment it has the full blue including the dash and carpets etc. Been told its pretty rare and worth keeping. Problem is I think I don't like it! So need some input on what to do. 1. Keep the blue and put it back to as new. 2. Replace the plastics with a full black interior 3. Go race car theme with buckets and harnesses with it being pretty stripped out. Cheers all, Rob

So I went on the dyno today, but unfortunatly I didn't complete a run. 3 weeks ago, my o/s standard turbo decided it didn't want to be a turbo again, and it was absolutely kerfuffled. Smoking like a good'un and making a horrid grinding noise. Fitted some GT25 hybrid turbo's by Turbo Technics (supplied by Kinugawa Turbo on here) and I ran it in a little bit. I've done about 60-80 miles since fitted and at first it was idling pretty bad, with old oil pluming out of the exhaust still. It has since cleared up, and before the dyno run, I got it up to temperature, and made sure that it was given a decent run out before it went on the rollers. When it came to the …

Hi guys, 2x led problems lol, The 1st is i have the lambo style lights on the rear but wanted to know if anyone knows where they just sell justthe actual lights as i have the panel allready seems most rear light conversions use the same lights, and i see a coach with them too. The 2nd if i convert my dash to say blue leds, how do you go about changing the digital numbers on the air con pod too. Any help appreciated, Thank you.

Has anybody on here ever '*******ised' a pair of LWb side skirts to fit a SWB? I'm not keen on the SWB Veilside type skirts and the questionable Polish versions that are available on ebay from time to time, so I was wondering, how hard/easy/costly would it be to re-work a pair of LWB skirts to fit a shortie'?

Hi all Can anyone recommend a good car cover for the zed Want something to protect it outside during the winter etc I've looked on ebay and and there's a few.... just wondering if anyone has any experience of a particular manufacturer or a specific cover Jimmer ? Anyone ? Thanks Tony

well wasn't going to post till my overheating problem solve was at least a week old, but now have a problem, cars been fine for the past 3 and a half days, no over heating, can run above 50 and even boost with no problems whats so ever, but about half hour ago, my eng cont fuse in the engine bay (main fuse box) keeps blowing on me. any ideas? only thing i did was fiddle with my boost gauge (aftermarket thats plumbed into the dash) area as it was no longer changing color. is there anything in that area that is on the same circuit as the engine cont fuse. is it safe to drive with it blown? the engine wants to die on idle but that can be countered by giving i…

on my 90 zx im keen to take the rear spoiler off as i like the look of ones without it. is it easy to do and are there many holes let in the boot to fill in? i think it looks a lot better.

See the manufacturer...... strange advert Wonder what's wrong with it really ?

Anyone know if it is possible to change the manifold on a TT when the plenum is off? (tube to and from turbo also removed ofcourse)

Tomorrow I'm replacing the single Blitz air filter that's on the shortie' with a HKS twin induction setup and I'll admit that I'm tempted to fit the Stillen front bumper and Greddy 3 row fmic off the LWB whilst I'm at it. I believe it's still running stock turbos with nothing more (that I can see) than aftermarket downpipes, decat straight through exhaust. It pulls like no other TT zed that I've driven so they might not be stock turbos?? If they are stock tubs that are fitted, what detremental effects could I expect to see from fitting a big fmic whilst still running stock turbos (increased lag etc)? In order to aid cooling (current weather aside) I've …

Thought some may want this wiring diagram i found today, full colour and covers ecu loom, and harness that runs around front of car, gearbox, lights, relay box etc. http://www.karljapetre.com/z/ecu/eccs-color.gif Perhaps mods may want to sticky it somewhere?
