new owner with new problems
stock gauge is pretty inaccurate, mine sits around the same at idle i belive only going all the way left on the over run. had the same issue as yourself when i had some big boost leaks tho. if in doubt of boost leaks do a test and tighten all the clamps. doesnt take all day and its a maintaince thing in any case. do a search on boost leaks lots of usefull info available on here.

low petrol warning light?
if you have the over drive off and tying to see what your getting this may part of the issue i think mine starts to sound noisey without the over drive on at like 80 90 ish. you say 50km feels fast. sure its not been converted already? i have kph clocks but it reads for example. 30kmph is 30mph

Words fail me, disgusting!!
wasnt meant to be insulting was just a joke. trying to bring some humour to the situation. moreover i was sugesting that that sort of punishment that many are discussing can encourage martadom. not good. anyways didnt mean to offend any body. i appologise.

auto to manual.
hrm im thinking more and more about this beinga good idea, but as youve done groover id like to sorta build up acollection of parts to avoid a mass outlay. how much does the ferry cost to you? if you want an extra pair of hands id be happy to lend em so when i go down this route im familiar with it

Future Z owner

auto to manual.
its a thought that keeps poping into my head, amougst the things i want to get done is an manual conversion. I think it will really give the car a funner edge and better driving experince. Im aware that zed world offer it as a service for a cost and taht is possibly an option, but whats the price difference doing it yourself? Ive done plently of clutch replacements so im not to bothered about the nuts and bolts of it. just the electrical side of it. im assuming i would need: manual gearbox manual gear selector flywheel uprated clutch(standard is crap?) clutch and brake pedal manual master cyldner? what else would i need and how much would should i expect to pay in parts? how much of a arsehole job is it? just getting my head round it to work out weather its a viable propostion and to then budjet for it. BTW my auto seems to be in pretty darn good health, hold and power buttons work etc its just i think havinga maual would stick me in my seat better and make it faster to 70
