I blocked up the pipes that go down the A pillars, inside the cowl. I know what they are for, just wondering if it is a acceptable answer to my problem. Thanks

....As title - thank you Jimmer; you're a star mate....:thumbup: As some might know, I have had my Zed in at the body repair/welder guy next door to Jimmer for the last two months. Long story short, the guy let me down badly; but luckily he didn't start the job, nor has it cost me any money. So last Monday, Jimmer took possession of my Zed; gave it a once-over as it had been standing for two months; fixed the miss-fire that had developed since Coventry and made sure it was clean and ready for collection. Jimmer then very kindly collected me from Bristol Parkway station yesterday morning. It was great to get the Zed back; and thanks to Jimmer's magic touch,…

Hi guys, forgive me if I’ve done this wrong as I’m rusty with the forum. I wanted to ask if anyone knows which fuse is for the belt pre-tensioners. As the title says the seatbelt light is on. What I have found is the passenger side clicks by the belt roller in the back of the car by the rear seat (lower interior body panel) but the drivers belt doesn’t. So I’m trying to eliminate a fuse for that before I have to tear the back of the car apart and try to test power to it, I took the belt insertion part attached to the seat apart and the switch is clicking so no fries or sticky werthers sweets in there, every fuse panel I’ve tried to find except a U.S. one doesn’t sho…

Seen a 300zx LWB in Blue just round the corner from me parked up in Manor Road, Lee, SE London. The car is on a "K" plate, looks OEM +. Was it you ?

little steps.... Is it possible to see if the rubber tube that sticks through the inner wing (sort of) on the drivers side, is still sticking through it.. the picture explains it better than i can...

I’ve used the search function to see if there is already a thread but couldn’t find one. I’ve dropped the subframe of the 1991 TT and are currently replacing most of the stock items with upgraded parts, I would however like to renew the cv shafts as well so everything is new (the diff is also being remanufactured). New oem shafts are almost not available anymore but carid are selling Sur track cv shafts which are pretty cheap does anyone know what the quality is in fitment and strength. Thanks Peter

So Mitch at EP Racing has just posted a very interesting video on FB where he has cut up a VG block into segments in order to show the VG blocks strengths and weaknesses. Very interesting stuff

Reminder we have the ace Cafe London booked from 11am to 4pm on Saturday 28th October. This is an open invitation to anyone who wishes to join in.

After a bad year with car getting it back from "the garage " it's not moved from garage as so much wrong with it so have been thinking of getting rid of my car because don't know where to start the list goes on I have taken it out twice in local town and have some fluid leaks ,front bumper cracked front wings bent as front is so low it has creased wings,replace gauges and various scratches and to add to it I work in London all week ,so all stacked up against me ,how a holiday changes things so hopefully I'll get her back to how she was over the next few months and be able to do more than 260 miles I did last year .

Hello The gearbox in my LWB 1990 manual tt has a constant whine and at high revs can make a slightly more troubling noise. so ive been told bearings on the lathe shaft however taking it apart could reveal more. i was wondering if its cost effective to have it refurbished, keeping in mind the extent of the damage is yet unknown and how easy is it to source parts at reasonable prices as its an old gearbox? alternatively try to purchase a second hand gearbox, if anyone has one laying around i'd be very interested in buying it. thanks, Matt

Some may have noticed at shows I tend to install a show plate as I think it looks nicer without a registration and also more universal. I have also been known to take the Z out for a random drive to find a nice location for photos (yes I am a loser) and I normally carry a show plate in my boot. I’ve had a few different variants of the plate over the years: Recently I have recently been working on a new one. I’ve replicated the plate from the marketing photos used for the 99 spec cars (with a few choice scale changes). I haven’t made the final pieces yet but the prototypes are looking pretty good. The jury is s…

Can someone let me know if I were to replace non powered seats with a pair of powered ones, are the connections already there and just need hooking up or if not what are the options? Thanks all in advance

Here's one that may be a little tricky. Or I could be wrong. What's the weight of the TT engine. Trying to work out what the best Engine Stand is too buy. Thought I'd narrow it down a little by hopefully finding the weight of the engine. Cheers in advance guys. [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I already know it was William as we already talked. But always fun for others to see who we see in the road and we all love a rolling shot. Mex

So seemingly my blitz ebc has packed up. It's an older style one with small knobs each side and the display in the middle. I want a direct replacement with the controller able to manage 1.5. Bar. Can anyone advise pls. I do not want to be cutting the loom etc etc again.

Hi. Where can I buy the two rubber pipes that run from the rear of the engine into the heater matrix. One of mine has split. Thanks Sayers

Well nearly, Not sure how but I think the left hand cam block has warped or damaged. Reassembled the block for the third time and when everything is torqued up the cams cease and can barely move. Now I know when times they are under pressure pushing on the lifters and springs but its so tight its ridiculous. The cam brackets are all in the correct order and its properly lubricated and the torque settings i'm getting from the manual. Looks like i'm gonna need two new top cylinder blocks. Now the question is - My zed is a series 4 and the top plenum along with the lower plenum are slightly different. Does that go for the blocks too…

Hello, Thought I joined this ages ago havent nevermind sorry. Anyway I've got a TT im currently restoring, I was told it needed a turbo rebuild by the previous owner. Feel a little annoyed as I've taken it to get a rebuild and discovered that both turbos are goosed and need new cores. Thus far I cannot find any anywhere, so options: Find some Garrett turbos from someone, rebuild and install Find new Garretts Buy and fit different turbos I need some help and guidance with this guys, I'm kinda clueless with this problem. Obviously quite upset but the car has no rust, has been well kept and I'm going to restore it fully, I'm not letting it die, but I …
