blue K reg in guildford about 5pm today (4th) i wasn't in a zed or i would of waved, was in the work car which is too embarasing to wave at anyone

is this car turbo ? or not ?

i am pretty sure ive read the answer to this before, but just need confirmation.. scenario; the car is sorn, therefore not insured/mot'd or taxed. I plan to get car back on road soon, i know I cant get road tax without the mot and insurance. my questions is this - if i get the car insured, can i drive it to the mot station, to get it mot'd? then obviously i would go get road tax. from what i remember - i'm certain i read if u are driving direct to the MOT station you can? maybe I wrong? Would car have to be towed? anyone who knows please let me know, not gona get car MOT'd right now so not urgent but just so i know for future. thanks.

I can finally drive my car again :dance::dance: I got the insurance and tax ready for the bank holiday with the intention of going out :clap: and it rained :no: But anyway just been out today as its nice and everything was fine with the car. No problems apart from a chav following me for about 10mins with his music on full blast lol! Thanks again to john 300zx, dougal200, slickpete and probably others along the way :thumbup: Cheers

red tt J240 FGE southbound A2 passing Gravesend at 4:30am today very clean and tidy looking car

Bit of an odd question this, but does anyone know the legality of driving (short distance) without the front bumper on my zed?? Obviously I'd display the number plate in the front windscreen, etc... The reason I ask is that I need to remove my front bumper so I can get it re-fibreglassed but having an absolute ball ache of a time getting it off! Long story short I can't be arsed with doing it myself anymore so figured I'd get it down to a local garage/bodyshop and get them to take it off for me. The issue then is to how I get the Zed back home...can I drive it or will it have to be a trailer/recovery job??

Just a heads up guys . I have in the shop at the moment an upgraded tt with the water coolant pipes having been removed from the turbo's ! This is the third car i have seen this last 6 months with this very risky mod carried out. I would recommend Not having this type of water bypass carried out its only going to lead to a shorten the life span of your turbo's. Air cooled Turbo's are built differently in the core to manage heat etc. water cooled units need water. Hope this is good information for you. Daz D2

Getting my Zed back on the road. Tommorow :) :) :) Called Adrian Flux and got qouted £775 for 5,000 miles with every mod listed. - a hell a lot better than the £3000 I was qouted 3 years ago. ( which was why it's been SORN since then ) 41 years old. 3 years UK license and 3 years no claims. sound about right?

nearly finished all me winter playing and hope to be on the road very soon.:thumbup: dan.:cool3:

The clutch on my -93 NA Manual import (used as my daily drive for 10 years now) is reaching end of life and I have a new "clutch kit" but I am guessing that there are "other things" that I should consider to swap at the same time as I get the gearbox out. Any advise of what should be swapped at the same time at the clutch would be highly appreciated. / Hans

Right, have bought a car now. Whooppee But already I have identified a problem. Boooo Was on a motorway slip road and on a long constant radius turn at about 70mph. When I hit the expansion gap the whole rear end stepped out of line a couple of inches, which was quite unnerving. Felt like the whole rear suspension was all at sea (rocking chair on a water bed). I dint notice this on the test drive and generally the suspension seems fine... unless you hit a bump mid corner, in which case it feels like the Hicas has decided to take a different route to the front wheels. As you may have guessed there is no lock out bar for the Hicas yet, but I wondered if …

I am going to be changing my standard front spolier. Does anybody know of the legality behind removing front sidelights??

Saw you today waiting at the junction to turn left in to Chester from near Halfords on the Greyhound Park around 16:20, looked standard but nice!! Anyone from here?

Spent a few hour`s today cleaning both the zeds and took a few group photos! the silver TT is on sorn now the first time in 7 years she had not been insured or taxed , she is going for a long rest in the garage. the vert is my favorite at the moment, lack of funds have stopped me having the privelage of running both of them, but took the tt out for one last spin today and she flew!!! its lovely to hear the twins spinning :drool: I come back shaking! heres a few pics; All wrapped up for bed,

As title what grades are suitable for high performance 300zx? Tried searching [just as si says] but cannot really get an answer!!

Hi Guy`s, my steering wheel is looking a bit tired and i would like it re trimming in leather, Does anyone know a good place that will do it? costs involved ect? cheerZ Daz.

This is on a 1990 auto tt all readings are good on the Datascan. Driving along at 50mph pull out to overtake, the throttle opens the auto box goes down gets ut to 70mph and then loses all power until I ease off the throttle,then the power comes back on. It's like there is a limiter or some device fitted. It doesnt happen every time usually when throttle is pushed right down. Any ideas would be most welcome as I am running out of clean knickers.:confused1:

Ive been looking but havnt found anyone close to the east coast, all seems to be miles away (200M +)

Hi guys, Had the new car a couple of days now and decided to put my old stereo into it, the car has a conversion adaptor, that converts it to a din socket. Plug the din socket in, stereo works perfectly but there is no sound to the speakers. Took it into halfords and the guy was convinced the rear driver side speaker was arcing, so we took it home and took the speaker out, plugged in the stereo and unfortunately no luck! Any ideas?
