Hi, I'm hoping someone could give me some advice. When I bought the car, I had originally planned to use it as a daily drive and bazza was good enough to throw in an extra set of wheels (with a little persuasion :P ) which I had intended to use for the winter. Just over a month later I am smitten and after doing a bit of math it seems daft putting loads of extra miles on her on the tedious drive to work and back, especially given there isn't one opportunity along the way to have a little fun :). With that in mind I've bought myself a little diesel corsa which given our girt is a thirsty lass pays for itself in fuel in 4 months ha and it also means I don't really nee…

I was at work today driving me waggon thro a place called Blackley in manchester and notice a very nice black zed in a garage????? Anyone got any adeas???? R they on this site????

Does anyone know what the limit of the standard recirculation valve is in psi? Cheerz people, Alz.

Hi Guys, got some issues with my gearbox, Bought the car with a known problem, Gbox stayed in safety mode. Initially the problem was thought to be the speed sensor, however after swapping it out with a good one, the problem didn't go away. General reading on this site and others, indicated the Box was buggered. So with the help of Vodkashots (what a guy!) the Box was removed, upon first check it seemed okay, however then something happened which led me to beleive the box was really f'd up. Any way, Here's my car... here's my box, but i dont think i should be able to do this!! Any way, does anyone think the box is refurbish-able.. Rich

So how is it, in the last 3 days, I've driven my gunmetal Z, with obviously unpainted sills, from Doncaster to Glasgow and back and from Doncaster to Surrey, up into and around London and back down to and around Surrey and not one person spotted me? For crying out loud, on Sunday there was also a black and yellow Z and a Silver Z in convoy with me!! It's not fair, I want to get spotted! :(

Whilst cleaning my rear wheel tonight i noticed that the metal to which the back bumper secures to just behind the back wheel was quite badly rotten, as I touched it, some fell away :-(. As far as I can see this metal runs parrallel to the bumper and exhaust right to the back of the car, it all seems quite badly rotten. Can this be replaced like the sills can be? Or do I need to get someone to fabricate a new part up?? Thanks, Dan

No spoiler, could be NA. N reg, or thereabouts I think. Not seen that one around here before,

Flashed you this morning in my Punto (silver/grey), but you also saw me in my Zed a week last Saturday on the same stretch of road.

Stumbled across this beauty whilst getting lost in Kensington today trying to find where I had to work! Sure I've seen it on here before but not 100%!

Im sure this was the same car where the women had split up with her man and she was selling his zed?? could be wrong but the photos look famillier?? Any way if it is it has a new write up :lol::lol: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2946209.htm

I put a club card under your wiper :-D car looked a treat

I have fitted my greddy boost gauge today and im only getting 0.5 bar of boost which i belive is low? its a standard manual tt with only an apexi filter, egr, aiv, prvp, carbon canister all removed and cat back system. What should i be getting (is 0.7/8 about right) and what would be the reason im not getting full boost?

ECU Pin 44 and Auto ECU Pin 20 as i have two wire per switch does one of each get grounded to the body or an earthing point and other say + of the wire go to Pin 44 for N and Pin 20 for Rev Mark

Hi guys, ideas appreciated if any. as title reads really. Car starts - revs - fluctuate a little - then dies. It was better before I change the idle control valve. At least it stayed going. Dave

Howdy folks, I'm getting fedup scraping over speed bumps despite going diagonal and avoiding braking into them to prevent front end dipping. My z32 has a strosek replica front bumper on it which is the culprit. Its not lowered but there is very little clearance under that bumper. Suspension doesn't seem to be sagging too bad, do you think just adding new shocks and springs would help avoid scraping everywhere I go? What suspension setups have others with the same kit got, and do they have the same problem? I think I remember reading about another type of car being raised by fabricating a spacer to sit at the strut mount, anyone ever heard of or used these? …

Finally reverted back to the standered radio cd into the zed:thumbup:looks great having the retro unit back in but having a few problems getting the cd to work but hope to get it sorted. Who else still has the original setup?
