A humungus thanks to JIMMER yet again. :bow: Well peeps you guessed it Jimmer (assisted by Dazzer21) has performed another awsome rebuild on my zed. :hyper: I am VERY pleased with the results after picking it up this evening. It feels just like the first time you ever drive a zed, AWSOME :nana2: I love it. Thanks again to JIMMER and Dazzer21.:bow:

Happened to be stuck in traffic the other day and at one point was crawling up a hill when I noticed that the car was in 5th and pulling quite smoothly at 1000rpm! I found that quite surprising and was very impressed with the flexibility. It's a NA by the way.

Does anyone know the ref code for a tt? They are giving me HOF207. Is this right as this is the same as a 200sx 1.8 Thanks

as above im trying to find out what pipes the boost restrictors are in and what end of the pipe there pushd into, any info or diagrams would be much appreciated, also what is the result of running a zed with these removed, im not thinking of doing it, just trying to diagnose a fault. Cheers.

Aside from the Zed can anyone think of any other cars that have the same kind of style/power and are a hatchback?

Hi, Where is the best place to buy an oil filter for an NA, and can you confirm that I need approximately 4 litres of oil max? Thanks.

how easy is it to remove the rear tailgate window, just that if i get another boot lid i dont want to losse the tinted window as it is the same tint as the rest of the car. or am i worrying to much. ?

Something isnt right with the ones that are on the car now. 5 of them have simply snapped off whilst driving! I only noticed today so could have been a week or so since they snapped off :shock: Im trying to source some longer ones, but goes to show, check your wheel nuts frequently!

http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/119120-os-giken-os88-ii-uk-sequential-gearbox.html Mate of mine is selling his skyline box, with a few mods it could be made to fit a zed, it plate the front prop up and custom drive shaft and there you have a 6 speed sequencial box that will handle 1000+bhp ;) snip at £7500 installed :rofl:

For the first time in nearly 5 and a half years I am now no longer a zed owner. Been an up and down ride :) Big thanks over the time to Shunter, Greg, Legrath & JeffTT who have helped along the way.

will tt rear brake pads fix the na calipers??

Jeff, did you know of your opposite number in Texas? Edit: NO Links to US Parts providers, as we already have an Authorised US Trader. :)

Right, this has been going on for a long long time now, have a miss-fire which i just can't shift... New plugs, cleaned all connectors, checked and corrected timing, replaced coil packs, replaced almost every vac/fuel pipe, plus many other general tidy/renewing type things... Revs fine when not under load, but, think it isn't as smooth as it should be, and when driving, put ya foot down, all noise no go, (just fitted new clutch too, not slipping) no torque and pathetic at low revs, and misses/back fires, so i'm ok that it's fuelling, seems to be a spark issue... Also tho, does seem to behave a bit better afetr about 3500 revs, when the engine gets a bit of momen…

Hey everyone im thinking about getting new intercoolers installed when I have the engine swap done. I was just wondering what types of experience you guys have with front mounts opposed to the side mount ones. Im looking at these as they seem to be a good price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Godspeed-90-96-300zx-z32-turbo-s-mount-intercooler-kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem2ea7a9ab63QQitemZ200381410147QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Any advice?

Hi all. Does anybody know where I can get a re-con steering rack? Cheers Stu

Hello again guys! Thoughts on the below? Partial service history inc Cambelt change at 112k. Clicky With Z's is it pretty much always a case of going to have a look at the general condition? This guy lives in West Sussex which is over 3 hours from me! Cheers Alex:D

Hi ya one of my mates at work had a 300 a few years ago and wants another.. he is looking at this one.. any one know anything about it??? any opinions cheers pete http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1091519.htm

Was just wondering do the alloys on a classic shape impreza have the same fitment as the zed?

Hi all, I've not posted on here since joining the forum, despite there being a newbies section, but felt the need to let you all know what I'm doing to the '91 UK Z32 TT I bought at the weekend. To be honest, she's a bit of a shed, but I'm determined to get her looking and performing well. She's got an idle problem which sounds a bit like a misfire...possibly due a fuel leak (I can smell fuel). In addition to running the diagnostics and checking for leaks, I'm getting my mate Matt (who will probably be using this forum ID to ask for help) to service my car and give her a good going over. He occassionally helps out at an MX5 specialist, so knows all about those,…

Hi people, Just a quickie, my clutch thrust bearing (i think) is whirring when not pressed down, press clutch in and it quietens a little, put her into gear and it stops. Will my clutch fail in an instant or will it get worse over time and gradually fail? Just trying to gauge as to when to get it done. Cheers all, Al.

As pic was gonna fit these but there wasn't room behind the door cards for them. May be of use to someone for another car. just pay postage costs that's all i'm after. These sell for about £8 on ebay inner dia. 145mm outer dia. 185mm 18mm mdf

Despite my efforts seem unable to locate any forums or clubs for zeds in Portugal, I know there must be some as each time I go I see zeds there, as I am off there next week would be good to see if I can meet up with some guys. Does anyone know or have any links. Thanks in advance Jeff TT

Hi Guys Currently have Eibach lowering springs, with Koni adjustable shocks. Have since had a bodykit fitted, with a strosec front bumper, this has made the car look lower at the front, about 70mm off the ground. The trouble is the front is hitting slight bumps so plan on bitting the bullet and fitting Tein suspension, with EDFC. the question is which sort ?? They do two sorts Super Street with upper mounts and Mono Flex, the Mono flex looks more for track than street. I do not plan on using it as a track car, more of show car. I already have stillen roll bars adjustable tension rods and a BIG set of AP brakes. Which Tein setup would you recommend? …
