Hi guys, mines missing the passenger part. The guy i bought the car off said he can get it of the guy he bought the car off but he hasnt got back to me yet. Im just wondering if they are readily available and cheap or not? He said he took it out to let the heat under the bonnet escape, but i prefer it to have all the trim it was made with :D Thanks Mark

Hi, Quiack question, blue smoke on start up and over run, what can cause this turbo seals maybe? And is it a engine out job to get the turbos off? cheers Mark

I spent bundles of time and money completely rebuilding my Zed, every nut and bolt has been canged and it has had all the best parts that money can buy. I really wanted to get it to the stage where I could take it to JAE, and I think it is probably not going to happen :thumbdown:. It is now at the stage where it is running, it has about a months MOT left on it and I put six months Tax on it. Thing is I have a few issues with it that really need sorting out before I can do anything with it. Firstly it is running hot, im hoping its a blocked Rad or the viscose fan clutch. I bought a new fan clutch from the US and its the wrong one :angry:. I have just recieved a …

Outside lane and motoring:wink: Looked like it could have been heading Tamworth direction? Zed World maybe?

I'm not selling or arranging any sales here but just thought I'd post in case anyone is looking for parts for an pre-87 z31. A guy pulled up next to me when I was driving my z31 the other day to ask if I was looking for parts as he had one in his scrap yard in Irvine, I took a run out to see it yesterday because I'm looking for some headlights and it turned out to be an early one (mine is a facelift and headlights are different size so no good for me). Most parts still seemed to be there and the boot was full of bits n bobs including what appeared to be a pair of newish looking coilovers. I'm not selling or advertising on their behalf but if anyone is in need …

For my Bayside blue Slicktop : (excuse my dodgy photochopping) Polished Rim/Dish with : 1. Polished Centre 2. Silver Centre 3. Grey/Gunmeal Centre 4. Other (no, Im not serious about the blue centre...but welcome suggestions) ??

Getting my coilovers fitted as we speak along with adjustable tension rods and adjustable front camber arms... Hopefully should make a world of difference. THen getting my ebc setup properly tonight so cannot wait. Car is going to be sooo much better i hope! Really excited!

Sorry, I feel like I'm hogging this forum, (I'm a little paranoid!), but......... Since having had the cambelt/thermostat/water pump done at Zedworld a little over a week ago, the car has behaved impecably. However on Friday I took it on a longish drive up to the in-laws in Buckinghamshire. Other than the slight vibration at motorway speeds the car was a joy to drive and made overtaking up the A420 and A41 past slower moving traffic a walk in the park. Big smiles!! :) Anyway, I got stuck in traffic in Aylesbury. It a very hot day and up till then I was over the moon that the temperature guage hadn't moved any further than the perfectly horizontal position i…

hi guys is this easy, all i can see is two rusty nuts on the inner part edge of the boot, do i have to take off all the trimming, thank you jj

Just found this, hope it's not a repost.. but IMO, Probably one of the nicest Z's out there, wheel choice not great, although they are Enkeis.. but still.. hope someone on here has bought it, a real stunner of a car. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1832925.htm

Hi everyone! Yesterday as I pulled away from a traffic light I`ve heard and felt a noise apparently from the rear of the car. This noise happens only in first and sometimes second gear and feels like driving on stones.... Three maybe four times "knock knock, knock" and than everything normal... Tomorrow I`m gonna have it checked but I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me what to look for. One more thing...before that to happen I was driving the car quite hard but that`s not the first time....so I`m thinking that my problem could come from suspension, springs... Would that be possible? Thank you.

What's going on here lol, I've seen it on a few Z's in pics so I know it's not just me, the rear light centrepanel is out of line where it meets the driverside lens. It sticks out towards the rear about 2mm and really is beginning to cheese me off, I've tried removing the seal from behind, tightening up the nuts further nothing budges it! It can push in fine by hand but can't be tightened into place.. am I missing something simple?

Looking for some guidance from anyone who has these fitted. What have you done with the stock ducts and undertray as these are too small for the Pace's? I have a 99 spec bumper and am trying to figure out how to maximise the air flow to the I/C's. Obviously the ducts are beneficial in directing the incoming air but are they entirely necessary or will the inlets on my bumper be sufficient? If possible, want to try and avoid fabricating new ducts. Cheers

Spent the afternoon fitting the K-Sport 330mm front kit with DS2500 pads. Just thought I'd pop my thoughts down to help anyone considering them. The kit is absolutely top notch. The calipers and discs are top draw stuff! The brackets are very very well made and I have NO concerns over strength. The pads are so easy to fit, the bolts etc all spot on. Instructions are typically poor, but the job is very easy to figure out. Small let down in the shape of the supplied hoses. Only one line lock and made of rubber only, like a grommet. Couldn't or wouldn't get on with those so used my old braided hoses and adapted the caliper connection. Absolutely no need to r…

Hi, Can pearlescent white paint, the type used on my import, be sourced in the UK? Thanks.

Any ideas what a true valuation for my car would be once it is finished for insurance purposes to try to get an agreed value? Have many people got agreed values on here? For those that dont know its a series 2 '93 UK manual TT Having it fully restored & resprayed. Any thoughts?
