hi everyone does anyone know where i can get some wheel spigot spacers from..

Hi every one would someone know where i can get some spigot spacers for the back of my wheels many thanks...

Does anyone know if the engine mounting points are the same on a 200 and 300? Or is it custom mounts needed for an engine transplant?

Today I took the front bumper off as there was a few jobs I wanted to do, first of which was to sack off all the unneccessary junk and extra weight that wasn't required. Fog lights came out as I've got carbon fog light ducts, removed the support bar, removed the intercoolers as I've got ARC ones fitted now, due to the intercooler upgrade I wanted to make sure there was maximum airflow both sides of the intercoolers, so removed the washer bottle - I'll be relocating a small one elsewhere, headlight washer stuff, overflow tank, carbon canister etc. Picture afterwards: much less clutter. plenty of room behind intercooler, fitted my…

I had a quick search and couldn't find anything to show LWB TT offset vs SWB TT offset? a few questions: - Are the offsets front and rear the same for a SWB TT as they are for a LWB TT? - also would this set of Enkei's that I picked up recently, fit stock SWB TT arches? sizes are as follows: FRONT = 18" x 9" (ET +17) 5x114.3 tyres: 225/40 REAR = 18" x 10" (ET +23) 5x114.3 tyres: 255/30 *also, I picked up a pair of SSR's in Japan, how far outside the rear arches would they sit and would the inner clear the shocks?: REAR = 18" x 11.5" (ET +16) 5x114.3 tyres: 295/30 (stretched) many th…

sat down in the canteen today, when someone came in and says "have u seen all that oil under your car". i go out to investigate and cant open car by remote due to taking it appart and putting batterys back the wrong way, so the alarms blaring when i open the door with key. i see red stuff all over the road, asking someone wot the red stuff could be, i was told it was steering fluid which made sense as the mess was rite above the where that was. i go back again and they are all pissing em selfs, turns out someone chucked ribena on the road under the car.

ok after connecting all engine up i couldnt get any fuel to the injectors for the car to start .. and i found out that the FPR isnt opening so when i rigged up the fuel line directly away she goes ... this problem has only started since i replaced the engine i tuck the vac pipe off and its sucking well so i know the prvr soleniod is working how much pressure does it need for the fpr to work ?

Went to the garage to get my brake pads changed in time for Zrun and the fking idiots have only just went and broke my BMC seal... :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

anyone fitted a 'BYCAS' HICAS Removal Kit by Conceptua? zedworld found my rear hicas arms to be worn so its due back to have them replaced in aug, but i had always planned to lock out the hicas sooner or later anyway, just wondering if anyone has any experience with these? good or not? ill still get zedworld to fit the kit as the Zed's suspension is way over my head lol.

Hey peeps, How can I tell what injectors are fitted, where do I get bigger ones if I need them, and how do I fit them? Or have I got it wrong, it sounds like pinking when I turn the boost up to around 15psi and give it a boot full. Cheers:wacko:

Hi who has any experirnce with the above clutches? Is it good to drive around town with as well as driving hard? Also do you have loud problems with chatter? Cheers Dan

Ok my car has just flown through its mot, but, I having looked under the car myself I feel that the sills may have to be done next year. Whats the most cost effective way? Can patterned ones be purchased? or is it a case of just having a body shop manufacture them? Thanks, Dan

Ok, this has been playing on my mind for a while now, everytime I take my Z out I cant help myself but smile when it turns peoples heads and I always check it out in shop windows etc, sad I know! The Z32 imo has aged very well when compared to some other sports cars, however, I saw a guy on the way home from work polishing his "Mint" Ford Capri and I thought to myself that car looks really old fashioned. Now, is it just me being biased because i have a Z or do they too look really old fashioned now too? If not, do you they may soon date very quickly, I still think they look better than z33`s but again, am I biased? I just have this horrible feeling that…

just figuring out if and when I ever get to rebuild my car, where have people taken extra wiring though the bulkhead? I'm thinking through the heater matrix grommet for the new gauges and for the boost controller through the pass side wing. What have you guys done?

Wide body was registered as LBP 80Y ...just viewed it and for reference no boost, top end knock, rear inner sills rot, skirts cracked away from body and previously welded inner front wing it starts and runs but lumpy tick over and knock gets louder as it warms up

Hi there everyone, Need your help as I'm not too sure if the following will work. My zed has the blue interior plastics, in fact everything inside is blue at the moment LOL. I've got a leather trim set in light grey so it will look very similar to Apache's old SWB. My question is what colour to do the seats. Do I go down the same route as he did and colour-code the blue and grey leather or do you think black leather will work? In short the seats Baz has for sale. Cheers all, Rob

First off, I love my car again, iv fixed almost everything that made me hate it ;) anyway, the pump failed at the bdc under epic load :( It's a TT, manual, in an NA shell (ie no hicass or hicas pump etc) the TT engine was/is running an NA powersteering pump, it's dead. Iv got a TT powersteering pump, will it work? There are 3 pipes coming off it? Does one of them need blanking off or recirculating etc? Thanks

Any one know this zed? Some work on engine by ZedWorld last year ???

As above, are the SWB and LWB rear hatches significantly different or only slightly? cheers

Having a fueling issue at the moment. Fresh rebuild which has larger turbos, injectors etc and a running in chip programmed for the changes made. The car is over fueling. The car starts fine first time and runs with no issues, once the car starts to get warm the car stalls and we can't restart it. There is a strong smell of fuel which you can smell from the exhaust as well. Friend spoke to John Dixon and he suggested that the fuel lines could be on the wrong way round going to the pressure reg and the damper. Checked and both were fine. Anyone have any suggestions or is anyone local that may have a fault reader that could pop down for a couple of hours or that I could…
