Hi guys. Just been to see a uk zed and it has a jubilee clip over a plastic bag on the end of a pipe next to master cylinder blanking it off.Whats that all about? Cheers!

Saw you parked up by the pier, tried to pull alongside in our Puma but the rozzers were right behind us. Followed you round to the bottom of Elm Grove but you turned off and we didn't wanna freak you out, nice looking car tho

as I havent had any response regarding anyone who has a conzult local to me i thought id get helo doing it through the ecu, heres a pics of what i Have. is it easier to remove the A.Transmission ECU? wish it was in english lol

Just want to put my mind at rest. I'd sold the standard suspension from my breaker for £50. Went and meet but he didn't want them as the gaitors were split and he said it would fail an mot. Is he right?

Can anyone recommend a good alternator belt for a 1990 tt It's a jap spec engine so I understand its a different size to a UK one I'm using an aluminum underdrive pully that makes the belt sounds a little noisy Any idea what size I need and a good make to use Thanks

Have been looking at the rear arches, and remembering how they sometimes used to foul the wheels over bumpy ground. i dont want to go down the wide arch kit route as lets face it its been done plenty already. So was wondering what drift style arches there are available that could be used to give more clearance. My favourite idea at the moment is to see if i could make some out of a set of cut up front wings, that way the shape would suit the lines of the car perfect with the front. Anybody ever done this or seen one done??? And could it be done???

Hi Dave, best i could do with basic paint, my PSP has ran out lol. The dimensions incase you cant see them, w 11" D 6 & 1/4" The toe eye 3&1/2" and 4&1/2"

Hi All, My car is in the trimmers this week getting the seats and interior panels recovered but we've hit a stumbling block. The trimmer has done the seats and some of the interior but he can't get the material off the door cards and dosn't think the tweed will hold the glue to stick the new white vinyl on top as it needs to be streched. Has anyone re-covered the door cards and how do you overcome this? This is pretty urgent as i need to pick the car up on Thursday after work and its a bank holiday weekend. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance Peter

Where is best to buy. Thinking of getting them all.

hi there all, I'm on my iPad and can't search as the menu don't like iPad. Can somebody search for misfire on idle and post the relevant links if any please? Cheers, Rob

I think they should fit pretty well with a 9" rim and offset of 30 ? Just wondering how they would look, anyone got pics ?

I ask because for a wee while now I seem to have been chasing coolant leaks around the car, culminating last night in the heater matrix letting go. There's no water in the oil and so far as I can tell, no oil in the water and while the top rad pipe gets a bit 'firm' after a drive I don't 'think' it's unduly pressurised. So, am I potentially looking at a blown cylinder head gasket?

My breaker had the cats cut off the front pipes I believe, as the rest of the system was sleeved on just before the angle where they head outwards before going up to the turbos (if that makes sense) So my next question is, my black NA has nearly new japspeed decat downpipes on, just seen some on ebay that say they fit NA and TT... So will these fit when I have my TT engine in, ready for a new system to bolt up to it? thankZ :sweatdrop:

I've stripped down under the steering wheel to give me access but it's fouling on a loom. I've tried it all ways and can't get it to fit on to the clutch booster :cursing: I can't see how the loom can be moved, so what am I doing wrong? Help it's really doing my head in:helpsmilie:

Im stripping a set of turbos and these big circlips are being a right pain and none of my circlip pliers can hold them well enough. Anyone got a link to a pair of circlips pliers they have used to get them out as im thinking i need a rather heavy duty set Marty

i am having some of these installed on my uk bumper but am unsure of there exact location, does anyone have a picture to show there placement? Cheers, Dan

well i was having a look at my intector connections today as i have a mjsfire and i noticed there was a rattle coming from the front of the engine so i thought i best check the belt and good job i did as the camblet was flopping around more than a fat bird on a treadmil!!!!!

I did a few searches on this and couldn't find anything recent so hope I don't get flamed for asking again. (If I missed a recent relevant thread which answered all this, flame away :D ). Does anyone here have any experience with these products which claim to protect your paintwork? Apart from the traditional waxes, there appear to be two alternatives: some form of sealant like Supagard or Diamond Brite (I did find one thread which said don't bother with Supagard). Or there is an external film. I've used something similar on my HTC phone and it has survived really well for 18 months so maybe the car version has something going for it? http://car-paint-prote…

Hi, I have been looking at different options for brake kits & do not really want to spend the sort of costs of the K Sport / D2 kits as will only be using it on the road & have found a trader doing Wilwood calipers with Brembo discs & fittings who is a trader on SXOC He has a range of options of brake upgrades & has recently done a group buy on SXOC & can supply kits for the Z32 at a similar price if we can do a GB on here. Heres the thread on SXOC: http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=489807 Any thoughts on if we can try to set this up?! :) Paul

Anyone know of the recomended battery, mine has died and i'm sure the one fitted was too small

Looked like a late model, ('99?) Spotted you, flashed and blasted my horn 'cos you had your window down.. I was southbound in my Zed and I think the driver of the car in front got the ar5e with me a bit 'cos of the flashing and beeping. MEH!

TPS was reading 0.44 so I adjusted it to 0.46 (I believe thats correct from what I read). Screenies now, first is from cold start, second from when its looks like its up to temp but is still on fast idle, and third once idle had settled, anything on there look amiss ?

just fitted a carmad firbeglass spoiler, and hasd teh crystas a few months now. pretty happy with the new look. before: after:apolgies for the poor quality and the hand the sun was playing havoc with my phone camera..

Ok, I finally got around to painting my skin spoiler and I plan to attach it next weekend. I was planning to use Tiger Seal, or something like it, unless someone tells me otherwise? The things is the skin has a lip underneath, it looks like it should wrap around the bottom lip of the tailgate, covering the original rear right and left bolt holes. There isn't any give in the fibre glass, so not sure how I'm meant to do this. I've considered cutting this lip off, but really if I can get it wrapped around the tailgate it would look better and cover the bolt holes from the inside too, probably addding strength also. Has anyone fitted a skin, if so hows it done? …
