Thinking about fitting 555 injectors but do i have, my ecu remapped and will these work without blowing standard tubs and inner's of my engine!!!

We have a really gifted graphics girl in the office who drew my car today. She is also going to be doing the mock up of the airbrushing designs I am having done under the bonnet as well. When the engine is out I am thinking of having either a blue plasma ball on the bonett with sparks coming out in a kind of cool technology kind of theme along with sparks coming up the sides of the engine bay. Or A flaming skull with flames and mirrors on the bonnet and flames coming up the side of the engine bay. I will post the pics what do you think would be coolest?

Do you know where you can get these. I seem to remember there were loads around at one time. Who does them now?? Cheers

no offence to any of you die hard z32 owners, but i just got a '93 TT and it sooo slow, i swapped my 200sx for it and would like some info on how to tune it up, but s13 200sx, could do 0-60 in 4.5 secs running 350bhp need some info on how to get say 0-60 in 5 secs or under in the z, its standard at the mo its an '03 import do z32 use stages like the 200sx do, like my s13 was stage 3 ecu chip, z32 maf, uprated fuel pump exhaust induction kit few other bits so any threads on z32 tuning

Hi all, Just to let you know, I'm holding a MASSIVE SALE to fund a massive corporation tax bill :( Please check it out in the DTA-Motorsport (UK) section in the TRADERS forum or click HERE. EVERYTHING MUST GO! Happy shopping! Regards,

As title says...... .......Julia and I took ZX number two for a blast down the M4 yesterday as we fancied a day out in Bath. I am very pleased with the car and it performed faultlessly; eating up the miles (very) swiftly with ease. It also used less than 3/4 of a tank of fuel for the 218 mile round trip - an achievement considering I wasn't hanging around either. Especially as the M4 was empty on the way there...:p I like it more with every trip and I reckon it's definitely a worthy replacement for my old Z Richard:cool:

theres a few things i need for my z'd ie wipers arms , arch liners, a windows seals etc , can these still be brought brand new as id rather buy new than second hand if pos

Need help, when cold there is a rattle or more like chatter when driving at about 4000 rpm. This doesn't happen when start and rev car when stationary when cold only when moving. When warm runs very well with no noise. I know it is related to oil but got no idea where. Had car checked over recently, all plugs cleaned (injectors etc) new oil, filter, cam follower treatment in oil. Car is NA manual. Any ideas? Rob

jsut bracing myself for the worst, if my car doesnt get through the MOT by removing the vacuum pipe on thebalance bar, im going to need new lambda sensors. how easy are they to change? attack from underneath or ontop of the engine? wise to buy second hand?

Hi guys, Just abit of advice really for those of you in the know....how much would a pair of 2nd hand Greddy intercoolers be worth? Just wondering as i may have a pair for sale shortly... Cheers, Sean.

Anyone know a good company to rent car trailers from in Buckinghamshore or a recovery firm to move a car from Milton Keynes to Aylesbury? or has anyone got one i can rent, pinch, pilfer, steel for a day lol Cheers Craig

I really cannot see how a T piece costs £23.66 to buy? http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/Product-21.aspx I know people have to make a living but wtf?...

car is being hoisted by the rear on a recovery truck on the weekend. Is the steering wheel lock strong enough to keep wheels straight? how else can i lock the wheel to stop it swirving?

Anyone fitted steering rack spacers between the rack and inner tie rods to give more lock? I'm looking into this on the supra as the stock steering lock is shite.

Hi, Still having problems with my garage. until I can collect my car (in bits) they are telling me i owe them about £8000 this is a new development. Of course we have questioned what that £8000 is for. They have sent me two invoices which they believe i owe them the money for. The first invoice was garage services which i have got checked out no problems. the second invoice is for engine machining costs and head work. Is there anyone who would help look over the hours they have put down for the work done. for example: they have charged 40 hours to "Labour: Cutting new valve seats, fitting new stems, porting head, fitting springs" There a…

Saw you're car in saracens head car park, parked next to a yellow saxo. Cant remember the reg, but it was silver (may have been silver/blue, it was night time) had 4 pot lights on the back, black and beige leather seats with a little Z logo on them. No spoiler, and i think the standard front bumper.

we all love the "zed banter" but for your own pleasure and ease we have a really usefull "search" button that holds a minefield of information ranging from changing a bulb to upgrading tubs and more...try it and be amazed:bow:;)

oh know... what do i do..?? i am looking at new turbo's.. 900ish plus g box.. 1300-1500ish hicas joint.. 150 ish only paid 1950 for the car.. am i gonna be better off cutting my losses and selling it? and starting a gain just buying a manual as i do drive cars very hard.. the car is clean... but i don;t know.. i have not got the money to do the turbos and the gearbox.. i might be able to stretch to do the gearbox.. but not both at same time.... and i am on holiday so no chance of any over time in next couple months paypacket :( grrrrrrr

OMG with all my bits just about to go on order I thought I would make a start on removing the engine today. Its a bit of a worry as we drove the thing into the garage, and now we have no idea how long it will take and if we will even be able to get it running again despite having a fantastic set up on the way :( so much can go wrong but at least the block and heads are built!. Right until today I was thinking of getting someone like Jimmer to fit it all, but the only reason I bought this car was as a project car for something to do over the winter so fingers crossed me and my friend can do it all :). I work on MX bikes I used to work in a garage in the ea…

I need to contact the above member as he needs a parcel label for tomorrow!. If anyone has contact with him via mob phone, home phone or any other means, please can you do me a favour. Thanks rich

car has been off the road for way over a year now, wanna get it back on to be honest. did a few jobs on it today. i charged battery and tried to start it, only problem is it was turning over but wouldn't start? (this happened to me the last time i tried to start it but i gave up coz at that point i wasn't in a rush to get it back on the road) Do u think it could be bcoz the fuel could be bad? that fuel has been in tank probably 18 months. or wat other probs u think it cud be? I was told last time PTU could be the problem but I bought a known working series 1 PTU and it made no difference. any input/ ideas welcome

Anybody got or seen a wiring diagram for fitting this alarm system to a Zed?

i have had problems with my autobox since the day i got the car its normally just not changed up gear when hoofing it not it changes as normal just not when hoofing it as before but it seems to be slipping... and quite badly its only in the first 2 gears.. for example going throught first and second its fine .. when hoofing it does not change up.. but if its in 3rd and kicks down it drops down fine.. but then it gets to 4k and instantly jumps round to the red line and slipps very very badly and same in each gear till about 80 when it catches up.... the box was rebuilt last year... is it the end of the box or could it be something easy ????…
