I've been picking Paul(securicar)'s brains with regards to amp/sub combinations to complete my I.C.E. install via PM. He has answered all my questions both quickly and patiently(:tongue_smilie:) and came up with a great combo at a price point I was looking for. He ordered them for me at a very competitive price and they were delivered in really good time. If they sound as good as they look, which i'm sure they will i'll finally have the sound system i've always wanted. Just down to me to finish the custom sub enclosures and get it all finished now. Another example of why anyone who's not subbed should really think about doing so imo. Really appreciate your time and …

Does anyone have the part number written down somewhere? Can't find them on google. I know I can buy them from the Z centre etc but I want to see how cheap I can get them at dealer first.

Brake fluid... Bit of a mystery topic! To help dispel some myths and for some good solid general info on the mysterious world of brake fluids I decided to contact Millers Oils up in West Yorkshire. Their Technical Director, Martyn Mann was on hand to give us some useful info… below is Martyn's article on brake fluids. There is a degree of confusion regarding the specification of brake fluid and this article sets out to clarify the situation. The Department of Transportation (DOT) classifies brake fluids to defined specifications. These specifications relate to their boiling points and chemical composition, both of which are important. All currently av…

I'm aware of at least 2 other guys on here, but I've seen a few more floating around, rare as they are. How many do we actually have here in Donny and it's surrounding areas?

Right I seem to have developed the issues that seems to relate to the Speed sensor. I loose power steering and speedo at the same time. Im also wondering is the Hicas error is the same fault? The hicas passes the diag test fine and so not sure what else is the issue. Also where is the speedo sensor on the manual gearbox. Makes the job a bit quicker. Thanks

Having tootled to the Mot and back and the Z not moving since I decided this w/end to flush and drop the oil due to a noisey lifter!-then a nip to the garage and round to Boldy's.Course he needed a fix as his is in dry-dock:ninja: When the rear grappled for traction then broke free,that's when I thought "Yup!-that's why I love the "Z! Oh!-and good caning sorted the lifter too-bonus!:clap:

Can these be swapped for a 180 Mph?-please say yes as I have an offer of some!:thumbup:

Whats everyone running? I've looked at the 'tyre pressures - getting them right' post, but with different load ratings front and rear, and assuming a 52/48 front/rear weight distribution, i get to 33psi in the front, and 29psi in the rear... Thats on 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 tyres. Does this sound about right? whats everyone else running at? Looking forward to a glorious 200mile round trip at xmas :D, and wanna make sure they're right before I set off. Cheers!

Getting to grips with the Z now and will be needing a new exhaust I want to keep the twin either side as I like the look.

Any suggestions which exhaust to go for? its a n/a by the way probs will end been a TT but not any time soon lol. Cheers Mark

Went and met up with JaiKai for the first time today and got the Zed plugged up to Conzult (top guy, had a good look at his Zed's and got some ideas :p ). I will post up the screenshots later once Lee emails them too me but I have a question in the mean time, is 30 degrees BTDC a bit excessive for the timing? Reason I'm asking is I still have problems starting from cold and this could be the cause if it's far out, according to Jeff when I first joined the forums. Any help would be appreciated guys!

Okay so I'm now officially on my rescue mission for my car. the old girl has been sat in a hotel car park for more than 2 weeks due to the snow 200 miles from where I live after my works Xmas do.
