Hi The polished hard pipes that are available, as i see it there are the stainless steel ones and the chromed ones, any body know what base metal is used on the chromed set, and are the ss ones worth the extra. Another quickie, i've got a polished Plenum, has anybody chromed one, and if so, how much, is it worth it, is it a big difference Thanks Richard

I have my Z booked in to have some work done later this month, i am not running it as usual because I think the engine may be dying, anyway, is it best to just leave it until I have to take it, or is it best to start it up once in a while - although I have heard this can cause head gasket failures ... ?? Thanks guys, Dan

seen this good write up with regards to the z32 box. i wonder if it could be just a case of swapping bellhousings over? apparently there is only 3.5 mm difference in length in the input shaft. what do you reckon?? http://www.rbz32.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=57#p208

Hi Dave is this the sort of thing you need, The left 15 leds are for sidelight and the right 24 are amber for indictors

i need to do some work on the passenger side turbo, i have heard that you can do this by lowering the engine... i have.. removed the front suspension, dropped the subframe, undone the gear box mountings and the nut inside the centre console near the gearstick as well as taking off the intercooler pipes.. i have looked around and cant see any reason for it not to drop down, but it goes down about 5 inches and gets stuck!! please help me?

Hi all, i hope someone can shed some light: Having had my Zed for a few weeks now, i am slightly worried, as i have just started to hear a gentle gurgling noise coming from the drivers side at the back of the engine. Only noticeable when the car is idling, and if you go to the front of the car (bonnet open you cant hear it, but if you bend down with your head near the steering wheel (ie with the door open) then you can hear it. It sounds a bit like fluid gurgling or bubbling through a system - this is the only way to describe it really. Any ideas? Thanks - a worried newbie:confused:

What are the changes in the interior from the earliest 89 Zed to the latest 00 Zed? Interested in all interior in front of the front seats. So door cards, Switches, Dash, pods, speedo cluster. And can you fit a earlier Zed with the later parts? more out of curiousity if anyhting

Hi Need a bit of advice. Do i just run a line from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder? And bleed it via the slave cylinder, as i do not have the standard hard pipe work? The open pipe at the top of the master cylinder that eventually goes to the balance bar, what do i do with this? i do not have the various pipes and tanks that a tt has. Can i just block it or would i need a n/a master cylinder? any other options? Thanks

I`ve ordered a new PTU from the USA . Two quick questions about fitting : Do I need to disconnect the battery ? ( see my "Alarmed" post ! ) Will I have to disconnect the turbo hose ? Thank you kindly :) Brian

If I disconnect my battery ( neg-) for any reason and then reconnect it , my alarm/immobiliser goes berserk . It goes through its whole repertoire of noises , whistles , beeps , sirens and God knows what else until it has alerted the people of at least three counties . Meanwhile , I`m trying to stop the damn thing from my hiding place in the nearest bush ! It`s a Concept 300 . Does anybody know how to avoid this humiliating pantomime ? :D Cheers Brian

what are the better speakers ?

Hi folks, its me again from upside down world. Well I was just looking through the cars for sale threads and found Audrey:cry: for sale and I missed the end of the sale and the thread closed. Well I would like to say congrats to whoever now owns her (be nice to her or i'll find you, lol) and thanks to Russ for looking after her after me. Its a shame she got vandalised but I'm sure that can be put right. Well I am still Zedless so this is a tug at the heart strings, really, I know I havn't been on here for about a year now and thats because I am Zedless but am starting to get restless again. Scrawni.
