Zcentre do the kit for £200. I am still unsure on what to do whether I go for replacing of tweed or buying the kit. Did you try to recover the tweed or remove?? I think having my mum as a professional sewing machnist tells me which one will be better though :tongue:

same prices including and excluding vat. Is the taxman getting generous?? As far as I was aware everyhing on there is excluding. Good service at Z centre, used a couple of times now

From what I gathered previously 1.2mm jets will result in circa 12 psi and 1.0mm jets will give ~14 psi. All cars will act differently because of the age and conditions of he turbo. Upping the boost will make you engine run faster and things that may not have went for a few months may start failing earlier. But thats just the way the cookie crubles. I am running 1.0mm boost jets at the moment. I also just removed the hoses and replaced with new hoses. Trying to remove the jets from the hoses is a pain in the a55 too so I suggest buying hose from Smithy and having 1 set of lines with 1.0mm mig tips and 1 set with 1.2mm tips. This allows you to swap over the hoses to choose between standard, 12 or 14 psi. HTH Dave G

o illuminate the gauges there will probably just be 2 wires, one for +12v and one for ground. If you go for the electrical ones here will be more to wire in for the senders but as far as I can gather i is easy. Ill let you know after the weekend. I bought guages of same make but mechanical and white background. I know Brett has similiar ones to those and they look great as there are off when parked etc but come to life once turned on. Dave G

I drove 1400 miles continuously without seeing a single Z apart from choppers and Legraths as I was meeting them. Its nice when you see one though, lol. Dave G

Still not got any, but I am sure that now there is a new membership secretary it wont take too long

Still dont have mine :(

Not 100% sure as I havent done it yet, but I imagine you have put the block in with the senders and connections in at the closest side of the wheel. It would be best to fit so that eveything if facing towards the middle of the car. I may be wrong but thats my 2p worth. HTH Dave G

Im doing similiar, fitting boost, oil temp and oil pressure now into my A-pillar pod. A-Pillar Pod Then in a couple of months fitting water temp, volts and another into the dash I think. I love gauges lol. Radio Slot Dave G

Im home this weekend, then not back for another 2 weeks. I forgot that you use your works time, ahem tax payers money to fix your car :tongue: lol. JK, I think I will be meeting up with Craig for a wee gas this weekend. Hope you get it running properly soon. Have you remounted the oil cooler yet? I will be fitting mines next week too. Dave G

It appears to run perfect apart from no boost above 7 psi. Thanks for the advise Fraser. I work at Dounreay, Thurso and live in Dundee so I could take a detour home someday and meet up. Dave G

Yeah apparantly fitting an oil plate between block and filter is the way. Spoken to a few people and reckon its a very quick job, might as well change the oil at the same time. In total probably less than an hour. But I am doing it on the weekend, ill see how easy it is.

Dont blame him though, lol

If you want to meet on the weekend, I could fit my new SMICs at the same time. Dave G

Yes, mines is internal please m8, :smash: lol

Thanks guys, at least I have my starting place. I hope it is just dirty connections, its my favourite fix, FREE!!!

OK as some of you know I am stuck on safety boost. Using the TTZD page following an ECU diagnostic I found that I had to do the following: Trouble Code: Detected Items: Malfunction Caused By: Check:: Trouble Code:13 Detected Items: Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor Malfunction Caused By: The Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor circuit is open or shorted (abnormally high or low voltage is registered). Check: Harness and connector, Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor Trouble Code:21 Detected Items: Ignition signal circuit Malfunction Caused By: The ignition signal in the primary circuit is not entered during engine cranking or running Check: Harness and connector, Power Transistor Unit My questions is, what does it mean by harness and connector? Is it the connection onto the ECU? Also where can I find the engine coolant temp sensor? TIA, Dave G

Brett, I had the same thing when I fitted my Apexia and BOVS. I wanted to try out them out to see if they worked so left a couple of the hoses off. Strted fine, then cut out and sometimes wouldnt start or when it did, coughed a spluttered about. Sounds to me that it could be a hose problem, but I am not very experienced with the Z. Nearly got it back on the road again m8? Dave G

LOL I know bolt it to my bike. Well I wouldnt put it on my road bike anyway, rule is the less weight the better. After all I am pulling 16 stone alone, way too heavy for a cyclist. Dave G

Just bought this one: PDA GPS Could use it for work too. Hopefull it will be everything I ever need.

KMPH m8, got a few guys in work with that one. Boost gauge is like that as my sig says. But hopefully not for much longer. I am bidding for one on ebay now. It is a PDA with tom tom on it. Can I just add the camera positions onto it? Dave G

Cool, I like that. SO I could get a sexy, dirty girl talking to me on it

dunk beat you. Anyway, back to GPS talk The Tom Tom has John Cleese's voice on it doesnt it. Doesnt look gadgety enough though, looks girly soft. I want manly complicated

I have used caraudiodirect a good few times now. Very good service so far. Thats where I always find the best prices. Dave G

I would prefer a PDA with the software on it, if that makes sense. But I would still consider full sat nav system. Preferably with easy and cheap updates
