Hi

 

I have been on the forum for a little while now but i have just been waiting till my car was finished and on the road before i put up a post about (mainly as i know how you lot get about pics PMSL:laugh::laugh:)

 

So here goes

 

I have a black 1990 imported tt brought of kenztwinturbo after his traffic island incident

 

I brought this as a a auto but has now been converted to a manual

KYB and Eibach springs all round

18" wheels of my brother CyberBean

Mongoose quad exit exhaust with decats (surprisingly quiet)

After market air filter

A rear lock out bar

 

As it was off the road and i had no real history on the car it got a few things done

Full cam belt kit full of Nissan boxes and bags :biggrin: kit curtsey of Mike at MJP

New spark plugs

New oil filter

New engine oil

New oil in the gearbox and diff

Fresh antifreeze

I am probably forgetting a few thing

 

 

It needs a good wash

 

 

 

Just a couple for little problems

The gearbox had been sat for about 4 years so its a little tight but it feels like they are loosening up (except 1st which is a :asshole:)

 

The speedo reads 0 all the time so i dont have the power steering

 

It also seems slow to rev especially compared to my brothers when he is sat next to me. a friend thinks it could be the timing being out

 

Any help or links to about these problem would be a great help

Hi,

 

check out the TechFAQ section there are posts on a few of those issues.

 

not sure about the gearbox, might be work checking the linkage.

also the speed sender on the box may be sicking out or have a broken wire (common issue)

idle / running issues also common, heaps of stuff on that ...

 

you've got a bit of reading ahead of you so best of luck... you could do with a day trip to Zedworld for a once over, they will sort out a heap of stuff on the spot.

Very nice

 

What chip are you running? Your brother's car has lots of mods on, might explain the differences

Hi Rich, welcome to the forum buddy, nice car you have.

Welcome - it's only been 17 months......:wink:

 

Nice looking Z you have there mate - I like the cream interior - it really suits a black car IMO!!

Gotta get the name right buddy :D

 

Who told you the chip is only for standard power?

 

It's a good car, AIVs were gurgling but that was the only issue. It had fresh plugs in before I sold it to Ken, BKR7E to be exact. I hope you replaced like-for-like.

 

Who did the cambelt change? It drove perfectly before ;)

Sorry NOZ, im pretty sure that ken said that is was a standard power map, I dont suppose you remember what kind of map was installed?

 

Im not sure if they are the same plugs i got NGK 6 rating

 

A friend of my brothers did the cambelt and the other work but he couldnt test on the road as it had no mot and his unit hasnt got the most room

 

I am happy with it, but will be even happyier when the odd bits and bobbs are done
