yep, that looks loads better, did you just mask it all off?

Well i'm begining to learn why people pay so much for these cars when they're tip top. Picked up my Z maybe a couple months ago, knowing it needed some work, but it seems that every time i fix something, something else breaks.:cry: So far i've: replaced boost intake pipes, re-wired series 2 PTU form a series 1, attempted to change o2 sensor (couldnt but it's getting done tomorrow) changed crap tweed for leather converted kph to mph changed to newer front bumper Ive got a new centre bearing to fit and need to get an exhaust (first i think) Tomorrow im getting full timing belt change including water pump, all idlers etc and a look on datscan to see what else i'll be needing ( i know i need new coolant sensor but unsure where it is (code 13) I just hope that the engine stops giving off new codes soon as im running short on cash lol and wanna sort out the body. Anyway just wanted to post what ive done and whats coming had planned to get to JAE but it looks like my bank wont let me after all the work ive had to do recently, so enjoy it everyone

Did you find the problem, this just happened today to me but both of them. on the drivers side if i hold the switch down it will move every 10 - 30 seconds a small amount clicking each time

i agree, just out of curiosity did you state where you would post the item to, as mine is default set to UK only

91 j-spec TT paid £750 needed exhaust little body work( just pannels) a spray and timing belt think so far in total i've spent £1600. Could have prob bought a better one but i like working on my car, and i wanted to learn all about them before i spend up over of 5K so i'm happy.

ok ordered the o2 socket...lets hope this helps! Thanks everyone

tried both these methods but cant get in to turn it, i've cut the wires off and got a 22mm socket onto it but it sits too close to bulk to get the ratchet on plus those bloody matrix pipes lol if i didn't have a shaved head i'd of pulled all my hair out bu now:headvswal

is that an ebay job as i have checked halfrauds and machine mart and they just looked at me as if i was stupid

i hate BB, always have and always will, if i wanted to watch people in a house with no TV i'd just go to a party.....anyway, radio says another station is interested in buying the rights to it so i don't think it will dissapear, just move channel

explain!!!

will do a search again and see if i can find anything else, tried heating car, (stupidly handled crowfoot when i took it off too and caused the biggest blister i ever had lol) and WD with no luck, i just can't seem to get anything into a possition where i can give it a good hard yank

I'm not an expert but if it's making a noise still when you top the fluid up i'd want to replace it, whatever product it is that can make it quieter is only masking the real problem. I'd hate to be no where near home and have no power steering as it's a heavy car without.

Right, did ECU test and found passanger side (left) sensor needs replacing. Ordered and arrived but how in the hell do you get it out, i've tried with crowsfeet, long socket, various extension bars and elbows(all with battery removed) but it still has not budged. There are 2 tubes going into bulkhead i think are for the heater matrix, is it ok to remove these or do they hold water??? think job would be a lot easier with these off Or if anyone near newcastle fancy giving me a hand, i'd welcome that too;)

Just wanted to say thanks for all your help, S2 PTU fitted with no problems:dance:

check your o2 sensors, there is an ecu diagnostic(easy to do) that will check them both and tell you if they are working http://www.zmods.org/index.php?page=ecu_diag

dirving through gateshead, you flashed your lights

in gateshead, i only have the car out at weekends plus its undergoing a bit of work so it looks a bit rough until everything arrives. will get some pics up soon

i've got exactly the same problem, i'm going to order 1 and trial & error it so will post back when it's done

no problem, thanks. Only reason i ask if its easy to wire in there is a used one with both connectors for a fraction of the price, i do electrics at work so i dont mind a little extra work. So thanks Dave, you saved me some spon

lip looks good

I think it looks better without, maybe if you had lambo rear lights might be better with it on but i like it better since you have removed it

is it easy to wire one in if you have the connectors, i mean are the wires all the same colour?
