I parked my van infront of your car (as i had a job on the parking site office). It was a G reg, Black import Manual with blacked out fender repeaters and a shiny handbrake and gearknob. You were there around 2pm onwards

hi does anyone know if there is a repair service in the uk for my leaky shock absorber as apparently they are fully serviceable ??? many thanks............lee

Having just bought my first Zed, I'm very happy with it. (Except I've just wrecked two of my tyres from having been a tool and bouncing it into a kerb but that's another story. :sad: ) Anyway, I hadn't noticed it before, but at idle there seems to be a very feint tapping noise coming from behind the dash. My heart sunk as I immediately thought, 'bottom end', but I can't hear it from under the bonnet. It is almost unnoticeable and I can't really hear it any better from under the car either. Any of you guys got any idea what it might be? (Please let it be something other than my engine!! :crying: )

I know you will all love this Zed Ive found forsale on the net.The best is the number plate it says it all.

Hi, Some of you might know im rebuilding my Zed from the ground up either replacing or restoring practicly everything. Here is a few things ive been doing apart from work on the Engine and suspension. The pictures really dont show the quality of the carbon parts. Ive got the pods and clock surround to come.

Z4... &*$%&.. :cursing:... new technology that gives cars the ability to stick to your bumper like glue.... I need more power...LOL....

Is chrome paint illegal?

Anyone herd of this Motul Sport (ester) 100% synthetic 5/50 and retails at £56.28 for 5 ltr or shall i stick with semi sym with minrals in car done 85k and im about to do a flush because i hav a sticky lifter?

Looks mint! Real nice car for someone. http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_popup.jsp?did=12896&pageid=2&originalid=&gid=nogroup&tid=40&start=2&distance=0&adcategory=cars&channel=DEALERPAGE&id=201020359538753

Other than the visual differences, are there any dimensional differences? Fancy ditching the steel spare of the LWB for the alloy one of the SWB. Do they secure down ok in the same way as that of the LWB?

I,ve had a go at my pump today after all the warnings about pressurising a blocked off hicas section of the pump , this is what i,ve found . After AndyGP had mentioned about removing vanes i thought i,d best open up the pump and have a look. The pump looks to have two seperate sections that work sepearately from each other , front section powering the steering rack and rear section for the Hicas hence why there is a split feed on top of the pump . It,s just the rear that needs attention , on previous threads it,s been said to remove the spring and valve which i have done , i then removed the backplate exposing the Hicas oil pump . The top plate just lifts of…

Hi guys I was wondering, is it possible to fit a tailgate into the back of a LWB zed, i need to go and collect one, but haven't got anything else available at this time.. Rich

Ok , I know what most are going to say,I dont like it too, but here me out!! I dont like a stock rear end and need some sort of rear valance! so i purchased this little number below with the idea of cutting/chopping/adding to make it resemble the beautiful twinz peru rear!! but to be quite honest i cant be arsed now :yawn: So... do i splash out and buy the real deal? or have you guys any suggestion of what will look good? I dont really want to spend all that money and buy a twinz and with my car being black i will loose most of the detail. I`ve looked at other diffusers from other cars and thought of smoothing it on this bumper i have at the moment, my mate at the…

Bit of a strange question this, but here go's: Does anybody own/or know somebody who owns a Z32 TT that was down at ZTECH about 2 years back (before they moved) having a replacement engine fitted? I believe it was on Northern Ireland plates: 'OIL ----'

I was just wondering (have been for a while now) if it would be possible to run a tablet pc in car instead of a car pc, I am not talking about an Ipad as it would need to be able to run diagnostics and I am not sure whether these could be run on an Ipad. Just a thought any opinion on this from the PC experts?

I can't tell :sweatdrop: :tt2:

Hi, I just purchased some VS side skirts for my 300zx lwb. They are short by about 2.5 to 3 inches. i think they are probably for a SWB or another car. My question is, can somebody with a SWB give me the measurement of the sill :) ZIND

today at around 8:50am grey with nice wheels you drove past my work (WARD VAUXHALL HELSTON) might of been a G reg looked v clean :detective:

I just wondered what people do with their spare wheel. I have 19" wheels on my Z so the space saver is of no use. I have a compressor in case I have a flat but Im unsure if it the law to carry one any info?:helpsmilie:

lookin at my car...yes i could see you driving slowly past. lol

saw a silver zed by pipe hayes park today about 4.30ish with a red targa panel . i thought it was mine being taken for a spin as its in the paint shop again just round the corner. if i hadnt spotted the targa i,d have gone steaming in there and made a complete pratt of myself lol

BAH! SPent good money on what I was told was a hicas momo boss which came of a TT zed. It looks like any other boss but has 2 metal spikes/prongs out the back. After doing some reading it looks like the hicas bosses should have 2 holes so the factory hicas ring can sit nicely in it etc etc. Anyway I fudded up because I had the bright idea of customising the hicas ring to fit the boss by sanding down the plastic protrusions and drilling 2 holes for the metal prongs to go through (since it's just a solid plastic disc which goes round at the same rate as the wheel). Turns out it wasn't such a great idea as when I tighten the nut up it causes some plastic …

Now that I have a new front end I dont want to spoil it with a massive number plate nor do I want to block the air getting in. Does anyone know of anywhere that does the legal special sizes of 350mm x 112mm or 330mm x 140mm (standard uk size is 520mm x 112mm). I've looked online there are places that do them but they insist on putting their name / postcode at the bottom of the plate - then there was demonplates.com who let you choose your slogan at the bottom but not the special size I want! Starting to pull my hair out over this because I want to be back on the road! EDIT: Also is there something you can buy with a numberplate release so that I can remove…

The cambelt on my newly acquired Z was changed back in 2005, 40k miles ago; I know the book says 6 years and 50k miles. I was planning to change it in the autumn, as it needs to be off the road for a good few days for other work to be done. I plan a few longish motorway journeys over the summer perhaps putting 1500 - 2000 miles on the clock. Is it worth taking the chance? This may seem a daft question but is there any warning before it snaps, noise vibration, performance etc.

:helpsmilie: In the glove box there are these electronic boxes- 1 is an apexi AFC and the other is a AVC-R. does anyone have some knowledge of these and how to set the up correctly? searched google and not much info on them as they seem to be old skool many thanks bob :confused1: [ATTACH]54281[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]54282[/ATTACH]
