these parts get sold as complete sets from various traders n breakers...it's very unlikely you'll get the parts one at a time even if you had a list....make sure you get a TT manual box if you currently have a TT auto etc...its gonna cost @£1500-£1800 to convert and you may find waiting lists with some traders...good luck anyway

when i saw this post last night i was too shocked to post a reply....i thought i'd let the pack decide the flavour of response...well i'm in with the majority on this... Indyzx you're miles better off posting this kind of stuff and chatting it over with teen's on ICQ or Yahoo groups or any other number of forums out there...you're storytelling talents are wasted on us....but all the same you've gave us a good laugh....come back and post other stuff by all means....but leg overs and burn up's with chav racers isn't gonna win you any pals on here...still each to their own...anyway if you're gonna crash n burn you're zed in the near future can you try an keep the wing mirrors and autobox intact cos their is always a shortage of them on here.

you miss the point....the real reason EJ bought a flat there cos it's next to a navel base...the view wasn't an issue price wasnt an issue...its location location location....

i got the older version of the DTT X TURBO TIMER.....i put where i cant see it...tucked under the centre console by my left leg...just eased the panel out a little and slid it behind...once set to auto never needs looking at unless you want to see your boost all the time the stock gauge is ok'ish in its accuracy but probably a bit slack after 15 years....the worst is its analogue (needle type) and hard to see exactly what it is pointing at....therefore its much easier to read numbers off a digital display :)

yeah....Blitz do an automatic version which set the time length...not very expensive...and can act as a boost gauge...more acurate than the stock one...so you can see if you got any boost leaks or your running safety boost etc

ok...its a device which detects how much you've thrashed the turbo's during a drive and then sets a timer...so when you pull up and switch off the ignition the engine runs for that extra amount of time....this is to stop oil being burnt in the turbo's and shortening their life span....HTH

some members have been here http://homepage.ntlworld.com/susan.insole/ its in Essex...maybe a bit far...HTH

i would have thought you'd need a cold winter grade oil in the engine for starters living in Finland...but i'm not an oil expert so not sure which one would suit the parrafin heaters keep the damp and frost out basically...in a closed garage they will even dry the whole car saving damage from rust...popular with classic car buffs if memory serves me right

the crazy thing is as stated above...lots of motor manufact's say check your belts at certain intervals in the service book...but it costs just as much labour to check it as it does to replace it...so the checking is utterly pointless...just stick to the guidelines which IIRC is 60,000 miles then replace on a 300 zx...and yep do the other stuff at the same time like water pump..etc

try Mark @ Zen Garage...see here or in traders section...based in London

why not just tick the motor over for 15 mins once a week....set a reminder on your email...if its very cold you can get those parrafin heaters to go under cars...keeps the damp out and burns for days without refueling

ebay...chavbay...bootfairbay...its a lottery if anything...still its amazing what folks will pay for junk...or for that matter want for their junk....went to a boot fair last week...saw a metal detector..early 80's rusty looking in places...spoke with the guy it had been in his garage for 15 years untouched...i said great that'll suit my lad...here's a £5... ....i said fine back to the garage it goes for another 15 years....honestly some folks need reminding its a boot fair not an auction...:D

brighton massive.....well sort of...:)

or to put it another way...made my 300zx go like a 420zx...:D

you should give Mark @ zen a call...discuss the various options with him...and the costs....:( say Keith how was the water oily?....was it all cloudy white looking or oil in the expansion bottle or sommit else?

the Z33 engine onits own has got to be @£6k....you can buy some seriously modded Z32's for that...after spending a lot of time looking into the Z33 option i have reckoned you'll need to spend @£6.5k getting a turbo kit on it which will put it up to @ 380bhp....total outlay @£30k...its granted you'll get a newer looking (more relaible ?) motor for your money but pound for pound taking into account the insurance and running costs of a Z32 and the fact they have reached the end of the depreciation cycle its poor value.....though each to their own...the V8 engine forum is in the links section...:)

great...just added 3

yeah its him n posh spice duetting for xmas no1...so i hear roll on the Crazy frog movie..!

:rofl:

well mine was smooth as silk till it went t1ts up...TBH i bearly noticed it shifting so i couldnt say if your unlucky or not

unreal tornado in the midlands...every other year Selsey down the south coast here gets hit...but not on this scale...poor souls instantly homeless by a 130mph wind...! i see the looters were just as fast...just 20mins after the storm hit the police were arresting folks...community spirit eh :confused:

anyone got a Jim'll Fix It? hahaha :rofl:

yep UK PLC...a nice little profitable bizz for such a small Island...:)

oh for sure do the rear this is essential as the car sits low and every bloody headlight shines right in the back...sides are a bit OTT IMHO .....(except back/rear quarters)...as for £20...i think a 0 is missing there..:D
