Evening ladies and gents, She starts quite happily from cold and runs fine but when she's re-started when the car is still warm she try's to cut out. Doesn't last for long. After a min or two of driving all is well again! Can someone shed some light on this for me? Cheers, Dave

what the hell........ any ideas as to what this may be? car doesnt boost anymore, lotf of oil in the exhaust and plenty of white smoke on idle and drive. it runs awfully too, sounds like a subaru or an old VW beetle. :no::no::no: help meeeeeeeee

ok done a little search about missfire have a little missfire that seems to come and goes and its around the 1500>1800rpm with little load its on the drivers side engine bank as i can Hear & Smell Fuel when its missing on that side ( exhaust ) now its had new coil packs/cables/plugs about a 2 years ago and i have just fitted some new NGK Iridium Plugs now if it was the injector that is failing would i smell fuel ? as thinking its unburnt fuel me thinks its a coil pack thats does the inlet manifold have to come off to unplug/take out the injector ?

I can't remember how the bugger goes back on :stupid: It's the little square cage like thingy I'm confused about :wacko: I've looked at the blow up diagrams but still can't work it out. Anyone have any pictures of how it goes?

I know this is the furthest thing from yer mind driving a 300HP supercoupe but just wondered what kinda mpg you guys get from your zeds

Right, I have clearly overfileld my engine, I added a load of oil stableiser in with the existing oil and also some wynnes lifter treatment a few days later, only to find that my oil level is way too high, and this has shown itself on the oil pressure guage as well ( i know they are inaccurate, but its the first time it has gone over halfway) I was driving home from the golf club the other day (bout a 10mile round trip)and the car cut out on me!!!! stopped, pulled over and started her up again and she was fine. I took her home and left her in the garage all week. However yesterday i was jumpstarting a mates car using the zed 9as she hasn't been out since) and h…

You were on your way out of town as I was stuck in the jam on the way in.

Hi guys, I have bride rails already for base mount but want to get some universal sidemount adapters for them. Anybody know of any good options I can get in the uk? Anybody got sidemounts in their Z?

Silverstone are running their own open track days and have 2 planned on the International Circuit. (which is the old Southern circuit with newly built/refurbished pit & paddock areas. Supposed to be pretty nice. ) Saturday June 18th Friday July 15th £299 per car & Driver. £60 for an additional Driver. price includes Breakfast/Lunch and around 7 hours of open track in an open pit lane format. There will be up to 40 cars there on the day. 20 minutes of Driver training goes for £20. I know sounds pretty pricey, but it's Silverstone... I'm fairly limited as my Car is Trailer-only / SORN now... so as it's close, I'm there. I've posted this on …

what series is my car its a 1993 uk TT. just woundered. cheers Mark:-)

hey people, im going to be putting my car on the dyno in a couple of months, but im a little apprehensive, as ive seen many videos of cars going bang on the dyno! what would you reccomend i do before taking her there, both to avoid disaster and to get the best figures. ive not got a lot to spend, but im guessing clean the air filter, change the oil etc are reccomended?

i did and guess what it ate me alive, im sure had we both taken off at teh same time rather than him shooting offa nd me trying to catch up it may well of been slightly coler run, but damn they move! i do however think from that little experiment that a lightly modded 300 running around the 380 bhp range could keep up if not over take in a straight line, as although i never gained on him i also didnt disappear into the rear veiw mirror. quite surpruised how well an 21 year old auto kept up with a 50k supercar. he still had me though, obviously this was a lovely track session, and much more fun was had. :D

Bit of advise on this one please folks. Just bought a manual conversion to fit my 1996 TT but the current auto radiator is busted at the top and is beyond repair, so what's my options ? Will I now need to replace both the auto radiator and oil cooler ? Or is the oil cooler just for the auto? Ill be wanting to get an uprated radiator when I fit the conversion so rather do that stick in another auto radiator from a breaker. What's the cleanest route if replacing the autobox and radiators ? Cheers folks.

respray & colour change in progress with kit being fitted, not going to reveal any details, you need to wait a few weeks to see the finished article :winkiss: However, anything I should be doing at the same time? I already have new window and roof trims as well as new scuttle panels. All glass is out too...

Just wanted to double check the socket size needed to undo the rear hub. Is it 46mm?

Whilst out on Windsor this Saturday gone, i saw a very nice zed cruise past... Looked like it was matte dark grey / matte black with a wide arch kit.
