and whos is the orange z on ebay with the shark nody kit? click here

check the milage tho as they havnt mentioned it, but id be going to see it if i was looking for another z

sorry was on a slight high and just got in. Screw the NA get this instead - looka sweet! sweet car for £3500

well i suppose its only about 3 quid extra anyway!

ok well when it gets lowish ill stick a tenner of normal fuel in see what happens, that way if it runs hot etc i can stick another 30 quid of optimax in on top.

I think it would be fine in an NA but i always try and use opitmaz in my turbo cars, noticed a small performace increase in my old 620ti but that has a uk enjine not jap. I'm just wondering if its safe to use normal fuel when im skint?

As i understand it jap fuel is 99RON, optimax is 97RON and premium unleaded is 95RON. As optimax is the closest you can get (without additive) to the jap fuel I always use it but I just put 30 quid in at 99.9p and it only took my fuel gauge to half! Also I just did a 150mph run up the dual carrage way so used most of it already! What are the conserquences on using 95RON unleaded in a j spec car? Anyone tried it? Will it overheat and explode?

Just had my z on a straight dry road for the first time. WAAAHHHHH!

but hey, you cant buy a pefect car that is 12 years old! We all have our stuff to fix lists, mine is getting shorter, slowly, very slowly!

I bought mine without driving it myself! went for a blast in it with the owner and couldn't see any smoke or lights on the dash etc, temp gauge sat in the middle. When i drove it, it was all over the place and wasnt very positive to drive. Now I have changed the track rod ends and front tyres, reset all the tracking. It now goes exactly where you point it and corners well. Could have been worse tho, might have needed new suspension! If they are going to mot it, i might suggest you get it done again afterwards yourself to be sure. My car came with 7 months but i put it through again to be sure, luckerly all was straight but one of the rear tyres had some damage, so had to change them both - cost me £250, so whats £40 for an mot!? There are alos Rac car inspectors etc to consider - money well spent.

If you want a fastish car get an NA, if you want a RAPID car get a TT! You only have to leave a turbo car running when you stop if you have been on boost a lot just before, i tend to drive off boost for the last couple of miles to allow the turbos to cool, and to get some cool oil in them. then no need to keep it running when you stop!

Quality!

Phew!

yeah mine is 1990, oldest car i have had in a while, but then i think hang on its a 90's super car, i dont care how old it is when im doing 85 in 2nd!

Ps, is it true he had a page 3 girl in it once? No bloody wonder there is a rip in the drivers seat!

ps the targa kicks ass! pic with roof off

This is my red z that i waited 3 weeks to find used to belong to tizer. My mate has a 200 and it looks well weedy next to mine! Click here for the pic

Hi all, I bought tizer's old red zed from redsteve about 2 weeks ago and what can i say, but Awsome car! She has just had a set of new tyres and pads, now has a full mot. My stuff to fix list is getting shorter all the time! Click here for a recent pic The main thing i have to fix is the rear spoiler, If anyone has a red z or knows anyone breaking a red z i want the tail gate (with a decent spoiler of coirse)! thanks, Ed edk83@hotmail.com

ps i get well fustrated as hardly ever get to use boost as my drive to work is always in too much bloody traffic! And in the wet dont even think about using boost out of corners or you just go round in circles! Fun tho!

I had a 200bhp rover 620ti and that (i thought) was well fast compared to my old metro turbo! I got bored of the front wheel drive 620 after a while but i dont think i could handle my 350bhp z with repect and in a safe manner if i hadnt learnt by my mistakes in the 200bhp rover first!

I had the same wish list as you mate but i had the added wants of must be leather, must be red, must be less than 60000 miles and wanted a modded car over standard, and after 3 weeks of hard searching I found it! Red J spec 2+2 targa TT Manusl with stillen body kit Leather with loads of extras 62000 miles and loads of bling under the hood!

help please! Trying to find out if my car will blow up on the 30mile drive to work tomorrow!

cool i can leave it a while then!

is that 60K kilometres which it has done or 60 thousand miles? in which case its only done 28 thousand miles

I took my 2nd attempt at flushing my coolant system today. Flushed the rad again and flushed the filler bottle now i know what its for! I was firing water into the filler bottle at pressure and watching the dirt come out of the small overflow pipe into the rad, then once it was clear i flushed the rad again. I then realised that there was loads of water going into the filler bottle but not much coming out the top! I then looked under the car and to my horror saw loads of water pouring out of the underside of the car below the water bottle! I had a feel around and i think its coming out near the top on the neck somewhere. I then thought well I must have just broke it as the car never lost water before. I then thought sod it and filled the system. Started the car and turn the heater on full. I then kept squeezing and refilling till i just got clean water and no air out of the bleed valve on the top of the rad. I let the car run for a good 20min and took my time doing this. I then sealed the rad and turned the heater down a bit, left it running another good 20min and the temp sat at a steady 155F (68c). I then turned it off and sat watching the bottom of the filler bottle. Got a few drips but they were cold (not from the main system) probably just left over spillage. I then tried to pit a bit more water in the filler and it just pissed out again, its reading high on the dip stick thing. By the speed it was coming out I would say that its not a crack and when I put just coolant in it a got just coolant leak out. So has the bottle got an over flow/breather or is it buggered (hole near the top)? I left a cat bowl underneath it so i can see how much it has leaked in the morning. Is the filler bottle pressurised? Any answers please?!
