Hello guys, I am looking for a very good tailor in the london area to retrim my front two recaro seats in leather, and the door panels etc in leather. I have all the leather already, just need a recommended tailor. I would love any suggestions from zed owners who have had their seats retrimmed. Thanks a billion :helpsmilie:

Hi Z nuts, I have a pear white TT, it looks good. However I am putting some fine touches to it. Anyone have any ideas of what colour I could spray the calipers and the wheels in order to compliment the rest of the car??? Thanks for advices :thumbup: Vic

Has anyone put mesh on the holes on an original bumper? Got any pics? Would it look pants or decent? Mine is off at the mo so can't picture it, just a thought of something to do....

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1491074.htm As the title really, or is it worth offering £10k to see what they say? Looks very tidy indeed but not sure if it's worth £12k, help/thoughts appreciated. Thanks, Mat

I betrayed you all for a minute :blushing: I went to view a GTO with the bottom end knocking. The car was dirt cheap, had a chat with the lads on the forum, they laughed at me, saying its worth £250 tops, and id spend about £2k fixing it. So im back on solid ground and back on Zeds. These arent as expensive as GTO's surely?

Well a couple of months have gone by now and still no news of my engine or wheels. However it seems the garage involved IS insured and i have a solicitor on the case now. A guy has been arrested although what he is being charged with is still unclear as the police are still investigating. I now have the problem of trying to find all my receipts and im missing a few (wiseco pistons,eagle rods,cometic head gaskets,full gasket set etc) Depending on the outcome of the insurers is the deciding factor as to what i do with the car.Wether to break the car or just to put a standard engine in and run it as that.Either way i can see me selling my AEM ECU and a few other par…

Front member corrosion Found during a new owners assessment, bizzare the rest of the zed is tops, done a fair few of these but this is bad, when we get to fix it will do a write up on it with pics. Was a disapointing discovery for the new owner, to be fair unless jacked up you would not see it, rest of the zed is fine so well worth repairing and not to let it spoil the purchase for him. Jeff

I'm thinking about replacing my tailgate with one that has had the wiper removed. I was wondering what people thought about the rear wiper. Do you really need it? etc... What do you think?

Sorry just before I grab an FMIC I was wondering what customising was needed on the Z, front bumper grill need shaved down a tad from behind?

Got the tension rods of my old jdm out today as I was going to replace the oem bushes with whiteline ones. Had a quick look at the rods and it appears that they've already be done :clap: They look like E.S ones to me, can someone confirm this? Cheers Dave

As i'm a firm believer in things were fitted fo a reason.. or are my worries confounded an it'll be fine??? any help appreciated..

Guys, I have TT auto which I have fitted a NA 5 speed manual box to it,the doner NA 300ZX had a 180km/h speedo and my TT has a 290km/h speedo, how do I get the calibration correct? is it a matter of fitting a resistor in somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, A friends Z is having a roblem. It won't start. It turns over fine but will not fire. There is no sound from the fuel pump priming and no smell of fuel when turning over. The fuel pump relay has been replaced and no joy, The water temp sensors have been rplaced recently also. We will be testing error codes tomorrow and testing the wires on the fuel pump also... Any other ideas folks?? 1990 tt manual

Near the top of the hill as if going towards the Broadlands, H reg in silver with standard alloys.

Dear Z lovers, This is my second Z, a 98 TT pearl white import perfect condition. The ride has been lowered by just more than an inch. The turbos were reconditioned just before the car was imported and I am the first uk owner (only one owner in japan). The problem is that in 2nd and 4th gears there is a 'whooshing' sound coming from somewhere (sounds like under the gearstick). I have considered that this is the turbos but I am not sure, because as i said this only happens in 2nd and 4th gear. Others have driven my car and said that everything feels good, but also do not know what the noise is. Any suggestions please would be really welcome, thanks in advanc…

dose anybody no were i can get a new z32 tt engine please

saw you at 12.10 today in petworth.A nice tidy yellow zed.:drool:

Hi, my 1989 TT seems to be running rich. The fuel economy even for this car is terrible. 10 mpg around town taking it very easy, 15-20 on a run. The car is standard as far as I know apart from Cat-Back stainless steel exhaust system( standra manifold I believe). The 5 inch tailpipe inners are coated with soot. My father pointed this out. Just wondered whether it was an easy jot to tune the car or is an ECU issue??? zind
