Hi, just wondered with my car been a uk TT has it got a 155mph speed limiter? cheers Mark

Finally after a year engines in all fitted looks very pretty even turned over first time. YAY!!!!! However front 2 injectors wont fire?? Checked coil packs there working fine, havent tested power yet as it was getting dark but wondered is there any common fault or newbie mistake ive made fitting that would cause only the front 2 injectors not to fire?? thanks Craig PS still sounded bloody awsome on 4 lol

Hi ive recently had new ball joints fitted. when i fitted the hubs and fitted the new arms i noticed that the joints move around very easily. Is this correct or are they supposed to be stiff to stop the rear wheel from moving? Thanks Dan

Whilst out today fixing a hole in my sump and painting some of the underbody, I prodded what I though was just loose flaky rust, next thing I know I have a huge gaping hole along the whole sill. I have skirts on, so its hard to tell, if this is the side of the sill or the actual bottom of the sill itself. So...three questions - 1 - Is this fixable, can it be welded and if it can be welded, is it a huge job costing many hundreds? 2 - If welding is possible, will the skirt need removing? 3 - How safe is this, is my drivers side floor likely to drop out; killing me? Thanks all.

Car feels fine but getting this error code, what's at fault guys?

put my zed in a local car show this weekend, really enjoyed it, had to laugh at the guy telling his missus how "the engines were bulletproof" tho. was a great feel to have people admiring the car. a few pics before it rained..............

after taking the Z out in the rain :crying: to yesterdays meet i had a constant dripping from around the top/side of the drivers window so am thinking the door seal needs to be replaced so does anyone have a how to or a link so i can see how its replaced. dan.:cool3:

Just thought id say ello . not been on since selling the zed . its to depressing really miss the car and i can honestly say im defo looking at get another one nxt year when money is bettrr and that age bracket of going 25 from 24 will make a massive difference to my insurance . i am however working on a 260z atm imagine one of them withh tt motor :)

My new zed is my first auto and im a bit unsure about the o/d button....do I have o/d on or off???.sorry if this has been covered before but if someone can explain it to me it would be appreciated.

Now that my Zed is finally up and running, I have noticed a reluctance in selecting second gear. (bulks for a second or so with a slight roughness) bit of a nuisance when trying to show off :whistling: It does seem to ease a little once warm though.:confused1: I was thinking of changing the oil in the hope that it may solve the problem, but I am reluctant too if it is not likely make any difference. (money being tight and all that.) Would I need to flush the gearbox before refilling with new oil? It probably has not been changed for the last 6 or 7 years, some of which have been off road.

I can't find any how to's on this! Any links?

how easy is it to take out the main dashboard? Only thinking about doing it as the previous owners of the car broke off some of the stereo mounting brackets lol

Hi, so I finally got my Z on the road after far too long. I've never driven an automatic before so maybe it's just the way they are but it seems incredibly stupid to me. It seems intent on revving the engine up for no reason, it holds onto low gears for what seems like an eternity before shifting up, and it will downshift if you so much as breath on the accel pedal. Even if you just increase the throttle just enough to maintain speed up a hill it will drop down and rev pointlessly all the way until the top. Accelerating at a medium sort of pace seems a chore too, really slow or fast is fine but 'normal' speed seems to result in this no mans land of torque converter s…

Is it best to fit this as per the FAQ section on here? I've seen other more simple methods which say just tee into the boost gauge feed. Can anyone confirm its 6mm vacuum hose I need? and how much to order? Cheers:confused1:

only 2 people online. We are soooooo hardcore lol

May sound silly but would there be an issue do you think if instead of the lower drain plug on the rad I fitted the temp sensor for my after Market gauges??? It will fit in there perfectly. Any thoughts?? Cheers Craig

Any info please http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af29/stonefloors/1-1.jpg http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af29/stonefloors/2-1.jpg http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af29/stonefloors/3-1.jpg http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af29/stonefloors/4-1.jpg

I have an import and its my first MOT with my Zed since I bought her almost a year ago. I don't have a flog light on the back and pretty sure there wasn't one at the last MOT, its just obvious there wasn't one. Do any other import owners here get away without having a rear fog light, do the garage ever just let it slide as they know imports don't usually have a rear fog, or will I have to fit one? Also, is there any legal requirement about the internal switch? I was thinking about using a switch on my pod (I have a Cruise Control pod, but no Cruise for example)? Cheers!

Where is it? ive checked both fuse boxes and cant seem to find out where they are. Im off to silverstone tomorrow morning and i can just see it raining all day and not being able to go anywhere. Thanks

As most probably know, im zedless.. I dont miss the heart ache they give me, but i would love a 400+bhp car to abuse! Ive got an e36 M3 Evo, which i love, and have always loved. Ive had as many of them as i have had zeds, they dont cost as much to run, are really nice to drive, and dont break as much! However, i need a turbo! What to do?

1993 auto tt What oil for the gearbox? Thankyou Need it quick, halfords close at 6

Finished refilling the cooling system and left her running for a few minutes, Lowered the front end and when I put my hand down to remove the rear wheel chocks I felt a strong air flow from the bottom of the both rear sills,:wacko: (the point where the targa drains protrude) Is this normal?:w00t: if so how come? I can not get my head around it. I just don't see the logic.

What should the oil pressure usually be? Mine keeps changing, i know the guages not very good but i dont have the money to buy a different one. Its usally between 0 and the first bar, then after a few miles it will go up and maybe later on it will drop down again. Im pretty sure i have no oil leaks in the engine anywhere. Probably just a faulty guage or sender??? Thanks
