Hi Guys
Can you help. The engine takes anywhere upto 5 seconds of cranking to fire up. This has been happening for awhile now. I used to be able to just put my arm
through the window and turn key and it would start first time. Now iI have to give it a bit of gas as well. Any ideas ?

was considering getting some new spark plugs and leads for my Z to see if it helped with its hesitation, is there any particular type that is good and will maximise performance?

My Z just developed a leak in the coolant system today, I limped her round to the nearest garage and they told me that it was leaking from somewhere behind the cam belt casing. Upon inspecting my manual i realised that there are two coolant pipes that run through here to the back of the engine or the
cylinder heads (one coming from and one going to the radiator) and both have small hose ...

Hi Guys,
Just stopped into Repco today. Upon shutdown the
zed stalled just as the turbo timer went to kick in. It wasnt a sudden loss but rather the revs just went lower and then to zero.
When we finished the car started but stalled immediatley, as before. Second go, started held revs up for 30secs or so and was then fine... no more problems!
Does anyone reckon that would ...

I'm looking at some different options for a new clutch. I've got a 6 puck ceramic sprung centre clutch I my TT at the moment, but I'm getting older a grumpier and its starting to P**S me off. Yeah I knew what I was going to be like when I put it in, but
I'm over it now.. I think they're a bit to hard on the old drivetrain to.
The car is putting out just on 400hp at the wheels and I'm ...

wellington region
Cheers

Hey,
My car and front bumper and in the panel shop being painted and fitted as I speak, but I still need to buy some mesh grille and cut it to shape.
Does anybody know a good place to get auto-grade mesh grille, and what sort of tool should I use to cut it?
I'm also planning on painting the mesh black, would normal spray paint that taggers get
from the warehouse do the job ...
