Can you put the clutch pedal back with booster in place been trying for hours cant get it past the top loom tryed it bolted to booster as well any tips thanks.

As title, my car just wants to die, not sure if its to do with these vacuum pipes or not. any hints as to where to start looking?

Hi there - My leather interior is in REALLY good condition for an all original car but my passenger seat is manually adjusted instead of electric like the drivers seat. Does anybody know if you can retrofit the chassis from an electric passenger seat to my existing standard leather seat? If you can, does anyone have an electric passenger seat that they are scrapping? Obviously doesn't matter about the condition of the seat as long as the electrics are all working. (assuming we can do what I have suggested) Let me know!:dance:

Hi guys - simple enough question - Is anyone running Racelogic Traction Control on a LWB TT Auto and if I have it fitted will I need to have it adjusted/a new unit when I get me manual conversion done? btw - is it any good? :confused:

My new loom has finally arrived, woohoo! (or so I thought :-) How the hell do ya fit it! Nightmare, I've taken the dash off (as I have a few things that need seeing to anyways), but there's no way the ECU plug will fit though the hole, and you can't see the hole from the inside at all. Am I right in thinking it's the heater matrix stopping it from going through? I don't really want to take that off, heard it's a ball ache, and my driver's seat is fully forward and no battery or loom on the car, so can't move it forward for access, so don't wanna have to remove that too! Also, I'm working all weekend, just hope i can remember where the 5000 pieces of dashboard, h…

Have searched through many old threads, but nothing conclusive on this guys would I be right in assuming that if I get a pair off a JDM I could retrofit the the motor etc. onto my UK car housing? Any one done this? Need to get it done as its a pia manually moving the mirrors everytime I put her into the garage. H

Hi, Ive ordered a new dash just like a stack dash and it comes with all the sensors. What im not sure about is the Hall-effect speed sensor that comes with it. Is that the same or compatible with the Manual gearbox? Here is the link i went for the speed camera and data logger upgrade http://www.etbinstruments.com/DD2_lite.htm Cheers Dan

I have a funny feeling the garage smashed up my old heads on purpose, have a look through the pics and tell me what you think? When you look through the below heads look at the hole bits, they look cracked and smashed, are the heads like this normally? is there any reason why this may have been done? Surely if they were dropped or were damaged funny how it has happened to every single hole on both heads! also all parts that come out of the heads look fine. I think they have done this out of spite but who knows, make your own conclusion, i was going to use these as they kinda stole my other heads (refused to give them back)

Any one know what ,or have had, a broken E G R valve[ not solinoid] If so what are or could be the symtoms, I know the diaphram lifts on suction; but the valve / spring thingie ? cant get my head around pluging off exhaust manifold , thanks for any advice e g r e g

Hi, does anyone know if you can use bolt on spacers with standard UK spec alloy wheels? Do the wheels have recesses at the back to accept the spacer studs? Cheers!

Jut spent a long morning at Zedworld with my car getting a service. It's so nice meeting people who care about the car and customer at least as much if not more than the bottom line as is so often the case in most places. I had fully expected to have to fork out for a cambelt/waterpump etc but Jeff and Jamie reassured me that the existing parts were fine. How many garages would turn away an opportunity like that. For that very reason I'll be taking the car back when it is time to do it. Some interesting cars in the workshop too - including the mint original red UK car. It looks like it just rolled out of the showroom ! Anyway just wanted to say a public tha…

Took the Z for the 3rd MOT since I've had her........... and she passed first time:nana2::nana2::nana2: Think I'll have a :duffer: tonight. I always feel like an expecting dad in the maternity unit at a hospital .... waiting for the news :rofl:

got a feeling its for the servo? safety for the turbo. As I have boost jets shouldnt this be disconnected or does it not matter. Thats if it is for the safety boost thingamabobjob.

Im just wondering cos I dont have one... Is it best to have one or does it not really matter

Have just had car in bits to change front discs and sort out handbrake adjustment, now brake pedal is really hard with not much stopping power and ANTI LOCK light is constantly on!!! Paul.

does halfords do them for the zeds? i've got one on watch on ebay but really need to get one today if poss, i've looked on their site but it just comes up numbers not what car they are for. any info appreciated thanks :)

Trying to fit new heater matrix now, the black electronic control box with 4 plugs in i cant get out .Ive unscrewed the 2 lower screws but cant even see any top screws .iITS a manual do i need to take the clutch pedal out its a nightmare job thanks.

Right I've done a search, all over this site and the Internet. i can find plenty of literature and diagrams on the vacuum pipe work for the TT but nothing for N/A. I asked in a different thread that was already crated, but didn't get anything, so thought it might generate more interest and i might get the answer i need from this one. So Does anyone have a diagram like this (or can modify this one) for the vacuum piping that goes around the N/A, i know its almost the same, but i need to be 100% sure. i haven't eliminated anything just yet. and want to make sure that my rich running (from the smell of it) isn't to do with the vacuum lines.

just wondering which insurer to approach, flux and sky i have in mind, just after the names of a few other. must have mods covered, Comp cover. oh, and i do actually work in insurance, so i know all about it :D just want couple names. (PS theres no need to state your premiums, as its gona be different for everyone based on own /NCD/age/location/occupation/claims history etc etc) :)

Went down to my local car masters. and asked them what the best gearbox oil they have for a 300zx. after heading for his book, he showed me there are infact 2 types of gearbox oil and id need to find out what one it uses so as not to damage the gearbox. I found this surprising and quite alarming due to filling the gearbox already with 80/90 (that was going to get changed again on Friday) so now not sure what the best is for my engine. Car specs in my sig. Please help. as i dont want to knacker it again with the wrong gearbox oil

Just had a one piece propshaft and new gear box mount fitted, also had the rear wheels balanced at the same time just incase. The car feels much better now and my eyes don't go all blurry anymore when I go over 60mph. :dance:

More like flock of swans came out of work to this mess, all done in a single fly over car was clean before work :shock:

well ok if i didnt keep changing my mind on what i want and how i do it id have finished it along time ago lol but since im starting to enjoy the car again im getting back into finishing the ice. was almost done with it all i really was going to do was trim it then decided why the hell didnt i box everything in it would have sounded so much better. dont get me wrong its very very loud the now but i cant help wanting more. so i got my jigsaw out and started to cut it open so that i can box it all it lol much to the displeasure of my other half lol. only got one section done the now but what a difference sound is so much clearer at high volume cant wait to get the others do…
