Electrical problems and water ingress go hand in hand on any car and no less the zed especially with targa roofs. Many owners have experience some level of water leak from the targa / door seals but in the vast majority of cases it is obvious as it shows up on the seats or your leg if your unlucky enough to be driving through big rain and it lets in. So when we saw a zed with some odd electrical issues and a very wet passenger carpet the taga was an obvious suspect. But when pulling the carpet back the area below the ecu was very dry. So with everything initially looking ok we checked out the targa drain points Now what yo…

I had a few responces but nothing really pin pointed the problem, I have this morning been under my car and found where the noise is coming from. It is central of the car where the gear shift goes up into the car. the noise is only there when the ignition is switched on and engine is off!! it is deffo electrical and sounds like a fridge??? Do soloniods buzz?? The noise is quite loud. Hope someone can help ;) Thanks

Hi All I just got hold of some 18 inch 8/9 J staggered wheels for my Z. They are ET 45 all round and I am fitting them on a standard height car for now but am planning on lowering the car soon. Current thoughts are front 20mm Hub centric spacers for the front with 225/35/18 tyres rear 15mm hub centric spacers for the rear with 265/35/18 tyres. does this seem about right or do you think I could get a wider spacer on the front running a 225 tyre? Any thoughts or advice much appreciated.

i`m still relativley new to this scene and not really had much contact with other z owners. i sold a propshaft to a guy today who seemed to now his stuff,and i was very impressed with his engine bay layout and the 99 spec bumper.its the first time i`ve seen a z with that much detail to attention in the flesh.mine is a long way off yet but i`ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel(so to speak) and i`m glad i`ve chosen a z to modifiy.

I bought viniboy's Tomei steering wheel and quick release boss... but it hasn't got a wheel centre, and I had a spare nose panel Z badge, but can't make my mind up whether it looks good or not. :confused: I mean it looks ok, but not sure whether its a bit big for a steering wheel. Input required! cheers guys :hyper:

Just been out to the car, and just about managed to get the jack under it to put it on axel stands and get a few pictures of the damage if it was visible... :shock: Is all i can say to be honest. anyway here are the photos Oil filter to the right of frame, oil pan showing "blow Out" hole better angle showing main damage need to do some rust removal. a pipe that goes nowhere? i have one the same on the other side looking at it, you would think that this engine worked

Im trying to help out Marv 300, manual TT. Starts fine, but boost will not go past zero, have checked pipes and all appear good. Ecu comes up with error code 13. Temp sensor. If this is shagged would it cause no boost or what else to look at??????

Went to Zedworld today for a conzult/health check. Just to add my recommendation (to the many) to anyone needing work done its worth the trip. Great set up, facilites and knowledgeable staff.

Will a tt manual box fit a non turbo manual engine without the need to swap anything over?
