has any one got any footage of this car? Or At least any pictures??

lol when do you want it and how do i get home?

V power for me, i had to put some regular in the other day... but i keep some bottles of octane booster in the car just in case such events happen!

makes me feel very inadequate crawling around in a basically standard car! :'( Savings? Sod it lets go shopping lol

Aye thats true, at about 260mph!

meh it starts it drives, its okay when its warm. Be reet!

yes but lets be honest, you all spend FAR too much time on here lol... Where as i spend just the right amount of time... :D

Boost gets, never herd of those? They GET you more boost ;) hehe

:duffer::duffer::duffer::nana2::nana2::duffer::duffer::duffer: taken nearly 15 months ( - 1 week!!) but we got there in the end :D:cool: I should really go get dressed!

Bwahaha, not bad since ive just got up. Brain isnt functioning yet!

The later spec UK Autos are quoted as 268bhp, and the manuals as 280. US Manuals were quoted as 300bhp US Autos @ 280bhp UK/Euro Manual @ 280bhp (278ps in a nissan brochure i have) UK/Euro Auto @ 268bhp Japs were quoted as 280 for both manual and auto. BUT that might be somthing to do with the gentlemans agreement about limiting cars to 280. So there is an argument for the Manuals being nearer 300. (Classic example of that is the MK4 supra, overthere was an inferior car with about 276bhp, poorer brakes etc where as in this country it was 326bhp because the agreement was not pushing them to limit the power) Remember as well that its 14 years old, and could probably do with a service, with a choked up air filter and twisted/corroded baffles in a cat (i've seen cars really struggle with this, basically makes for a very restricitive exhaust) it might not be producing what it did when it left the factory. With regards to getting more out of it, if the engine is in fine fettle just needs from TLC its generally regarded that a chip, exhaust, filter and a boost controller (could go boost jets but thats a hole different kettle of fish) and set the boost at 14psi (about 1 bar) you would be looking at between 320bhp and 340bhp at the fly. That wouldnt be too expensive, looking around the £600 mark id have through to do that work (plus as well thats new filters and new exhausts, always help!)

Mouth like Ghandys Flip Flop - Need a drink! Teeth were underwater - badly needed that piss Aye Grand/Grand Job, Grand - Pleased with the outcome/decision etc Witchcraft - Anything technical that happens! Ginnel - narrow street/walkway Shite and pricey - local name for the indian takeaway "Nice and Spicey" Beck/Brook - Small stream "lit up" - going quick "Set up" - going sideways Yump - a small jump LOL 'fot - basically means use, so " 'fot PC" would be use the PC or on the PC Badger - Anyone or anything that is a pain in the backside Stupid O'Clock - Early in the morning "Yon", meaning Our - My friend, (or relation), so Yon Dan would be Our Dan, or My Friend Dan. Commonly used when both parties know the person your talking about! Thas - Yours "Thas car" = "your car" Yakker - Yocal, Local never left village etc Just a few local ones from around here... lol

got to remember that the uk spec auto by 1994 was down to 268bhp, if your mates NA was jap spec then i believe it will have been 230bhp, if he had done some work, exhaust filter chip etc it could be a little more! Although i admit the TT should develop alot more torque, in all out acceleration you wont have been using the torque the same as you would in normal driving. Was your mates SWB or LWB like the UK one, remember it would have been heavier than the NA as well.... Some food for thought!

you have already started one topic on this and recieved replies to it... Why have you started another one?

I had a laguna 1997 2.0 RT 8 valve (oh yeah!) , and that flap was the best bit of it! lol Sadly it died and got sold for £100... lol

Have a drink for me! Happy birthday fella

ah for gods sake... If they banned bikes that wouldn't happen! No Sympathy what so ever for the biker, its only a shame he didnt skin his pecker has he came of. However poor zed, i hope it gets repaired sooner rather than later. And i hope the sod suffers for his lack of inteligence! This is the thing with bikers, for being a total pain and in the way all the time, either crawling around doing no miles an hour round a corner, or weaving through traffic trying to get them selves killed they make a right mess of your paint work when they do crash through lack of ability or brain cells!

a puff of smoke or what? Sounds a bit like an Intermitant missfire, does it do it only when cold? Check all coil pack connections and also temp sender connectors, (the two on those front water pipes, probably bound up with tape hehe) Has it onyl done it the once?

it tells the ecu that the car is neutral... which in a manual retards the ignition timing from 25* to 15*, and does somthing similar on the auto although It might do somthing more in the auto.

depends what your doing with it, driving hard around town you'll struggle to make double figures, a zed should make mid 20's at 70-80 on the motorway, i get about 18 out of mine on average, thats the odd squirt here and there but generally just driving normally.... You didnt buy an 18 year old 3.0 twin turbo car and expect it to be economical did you? Sounds like throttle position sensor if its varying revs when you just touch the accelerator, might need adjustment, could even be throttle cable snagged. Lumpy running almost definatly coil pack related, its either not getting air fuel or a spark to that cylinder all of the time. Got to be getting air, i expect its getting fuel... so lack of spark leads you to duff coil, bad PTU (how old is the car, and has it had one ever?) or lack of juice going to the coil.... They ARE bad for those connectors doing knackered. Mines got two cable ties over two of those connectors, a temporary solution so i could use it over a year ago... Seems to do the trick. Do some searches using the sear button on the top right, will bring up answers to these questions. Its all been asked before!

I Support Cad and CAM Software for the ductwork design, estimating and manufacturing industry for a small independent software company in blackpool. I also do training and installation of said software accross the country :) By far the most boring job i've ever had.... lol

I dont see the problem with cash to a private seller?? Paypal rob you blind! Id do everything in cash if i could. Looks nice... how come when i was looking for mine there was nothign nice like this available and now there is several :( Ah well... stick with my floppy old 2+2 targa... shes sounds good at least!

they will be worth more than that at the scrap yard!

ah mine have been duff for 6k miles! lol Ive had the bushes for 2 months now but they are finally going in on friday! yay. Then its time to work on the old prop shaft Grrr Even did a track day on mine, straight after i bought the car (complete with a nail in a tyre and on 5 cylinders, (coil connector dropped of midway round one lap! lol))

i was trying to buy a head unit, although im almost glad i didnt know. Should review finances and fix the major mechanical issues on my car first... instead of messing about with electronics... (Read that as i'll have bought the head unit at the end of the week!)
