turbo replacment advice
I,ve got a jap tt auto , just had a pair re-conned by Midland Turbo in Nottingham , basic price was £175 +vat each after being stripped and inspected , one of mine needed a new compressor wheel ( had particle damage on the blades) so it was about £60 more , you get a years unlimited mileage warranty with them as well . They,ve only been on about 3 weeks but are working perfectly . MIDLAND TURBO 0115 9614516 From this To this

smoking again
The tubs i,ve replaced on mine have no shaft play at all but still smoked alot on tickover , even worse after de-catting . What threw me a bit was that i kept on checking the inside of the stainless intake pipes thinking it should be coated in oil if the seals had gone but there were as clean as a whistle which got me worried thinking it was the engine , we now know it was the seals on the exhaust side of the turbo.s leaking staight into the exhausts and burning in there causing the smoke , they,re as sooty as fook :smash: A pair of re-con tubs and it,s sorted now :dance: :dance:

fiat rear panel
The Lambo lights are bigger i think , they,re the same size as the ones i,ve got fitted cos i had a choice of these or Lambo , but i,m sure you can fit the Demon L.E.D lights instead of Fiat as in the yellow Z below. HTH

H.I.D bulb problem
Basically you,ll be able to see in the dark as Z headlights are crap :headvswal H.I.D stands for high intensity discharge , there,s no filliament in these bulbs ,it,s a small ball of gas which is ignited using a ballast box, they reckon they should out last the car :bow: They give you a very bright blue-ish light and as Danny mentioned the kits he supplies are just a direct replacement for the standard z headlight bulb , so it,s an easy job to fit them , where as the bits i,ve got are only suitable to replace parts for an early kit from a few years ago which involved modifying the bulb mounting itself to take the round fitting of the bulb .HTH Just to show how bright these are .

New to the Z world
Welcome to the forum bud :hyper: Your oil pressure will probably be your sender unit , most of them do the same :headvswal , it,s more reliable to fit an aftermarket guage and sender to put your mind at rest . Speedo faces can be changed for an MPH one and altered using a resistor to read correctly , don,t know how to do it myself but it should be covered in the FAQ section . As for garages , there,s quite a few specialist Z garages around , should be able to find the nearest to you in the traders section , People will think you,ve gone a bit strange when you start driving a zed cos you end up with a permanent grin on your face :bow: :bow: :bow: Enjoy it bud !!

Exhaust System Replacement
Got both de-cats ( japspeed from 2fast2cool ) and Blue flame cat backs exhaust,s off ebay , very happy with both :hyper: De-cats give a good performance increase but can cause premature turbo oil seal failure and the exhaust has a nice deep sound to it :hyper:
