Hello folks. Well fingers crossed if i go and pick my car up on friday that i will have the miles on it by saturday. Got something quite important thats needing doing and involves alot of miles combined with the miles of driving home possibly via stellaz place. This will work out in total either between 800-1000miles by late saturday afternoon. So basically what im wondering is how to do the oil change, ive never done an oil change before, and with this being me putting the new oil in after the re-build bedding in miles i want to ensure i get it right and have it fully drained out. Far as im aware just open a bleed point underneath the car and let it drain?…

Where on earth do you get these???

yep went and picked up HKS exhaust today from buz many many thanks buddy and great to meet ya and thanks for the tea :duffer: anyway got home had some food and set about fitted the new exhaust.. yesterday (friday) i had stripped off the old exhaust and cat pipes took to work and gutted the cats.. the blue flame exhaust that was on my car i like the quads but its not the look i want from the car in the long run.. i should still be getting singles on both sides... but anyways fitted the cat pipes back on.. easier to come off than to go back on... then started fitting the new back on.. my last exhaust was completly seperate each ban…

this might sound like a silly question but how do you operate this system? when driving you press the switch and green light comes on and then i take foot of the throttle and then the car slows down, now if i press the incress button on the wheel nout happens. am i being a gimp here or is there something else i should be doing? by the wqay havent had a car with cruise on it

The 4 x retaining bolts on each of the Exhaust Cam sprockets seem to be a strange size - are they M7!?!?!?!?! And Why!?!?!??! Everything else is M6 or M8? :headvswal Any help appreciated. :confused:

Went to Zedworld this morning, Jeff and Jamie fitted my clutch booster then went on to solve another minor problem FOC and then did a conzult on the car, Very pleased, Professional service, friendly advice, couldn't recommend them enough:bow::bow: Nice to meet "Top Gun" there as well.(Hope your car drove better on the way home??) Never seen some many "Z"s in one place must have been about 20 parked inside and out. Cheers Jeff/Jamie..... and Linda.

...all the marks line up again? As in: After initial setup - with the new belt installed with all the marks lined up.... Does that make sense? :confused:

Hi people, have any of you any information about a "Turbo cool down timer" thingy? the electronic thing which i have seen under the steering wheel, which keeps the engine running for a bit after you stop? i was told this is to cool the turbos? If so does anyone know how long it should be running after a journey? Thanks Paul the newb

I have been searching the forum trying to work out what spark plugs i will need to buy. Been a little confused weather i need PFR6B-11B or different ones? My car will has uprated internals ie eagle rods and wiseco pistons 740cc injectors, t28r tubs and MS manifolds. Would the PFR6B-11B be ok or will i require different plugs? Cheers, Ant

Hi everyone, first: search doesn´t work, so I wasn´t able to check older threads, sorry, if its a well discussed theme... Just came back from dyno - Zed ran much too fat, starting from 4k revs (hope, i´m allowed to set this picture-link) http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/6206/dsc0686f.jpg A friend of mine, also Z32, had the same prob. Now we´re thinking about a codebraker-solution. Engine management systems like Motec etc are really expensive, and we were wondering, if the nistune-system is able help us getting lean... Are nistune-users here that can say something about this system? Please excuse, if i made mistakes, I´m austrian.…

Hello everyone, just joined the site. I have a 1989 (first of the new gen models) Twin Turbo Auto swb import. After driving the car for approx 2 miles the hicas warning light comes on, the steering goes heavy and the speedo mph arrow stops working (goes to 0) Does anyone know how to remedy this fault? Thanks Jordan

I'm fed up with either replacing or repairing my front bumper every few months just wondered if anyone knew of any poly ones i could get and rough prices? cheers carl

ive got an idle issue with my car, im just going down my garage, as i think i know of 1 vac leak, (and im also gonna remove the AIV & FPRV thing in the wing) apart from clean the idle valve, only other thing i can think of is the TPS. gonna clean the conenctor, but how can i test it? if i remove it should the revs increase/decrease? that way i know if i remove it and nothing happens il know thats a possible cause?

Getting a slight smell of oil , through the air vents, when staitionary or moving , there is no oil leeks ,from under the car ,i had it in the garage, on there lift , so was able to see properly, with a inspection lamp, could it be the breather pipes or the pcv valves ?

Hi people, I am new to Zeds but am looking to buy one which is up for sale locally. The man says that it is a twin turbo, but the Turbo boost gauge goes from -7 to +7, and i see on many photos that some go from -14 to +14. Is this a single turbo model or twin? The speedo has been changed from Jap KPH to uk MPH - would this have anything to do with it? thanks for your help Paul

ive just been to halfrauds and they only have spray carb/filter cleaner. does anyone have or know where i can get from (or know what i can use as a replacement) any cleaner that you leave your filter to soak in? ive just replaced mine with the one i got from ChrisD :bow: and although the old one is dirty as owt, its still in good nick and im sure could be cleaned and used again.

just found this on the american Z site, looks good!

I have one of these on my car(came with it) and I have read here that it looks like it's not a good idea to have one due to pressure levels being raised. I also read some past threads about stock OEM ones not fitting properly. So where can I get one that fits that is safe / works properly and will fit my series 3 JDM TT :D

Hi Does anyone know what customs charge in duty costs to import a car.Thanks Mike
