Gents, Need your help. Been putting this off for ages, but has anyone ever replaced the Oil cooler? The top plate came loose, but not noticed any sort of adverse effect, drives the same, temperature the same, do I even need it? They seem to be unique to this car, not shared with the e30, are they ea...

Jet

Right, Left, Centre, it’s still a Z1. Welcome to the forum. Not aware of anyone else who has attempted a RHD conversion apart from Birds and Griffin motorsport, a very long time ago. There are a few people here who can add something to your project, but are you converting a complete car or rebuildin...

Wow! I think we just found a location for the next technical day.

Stoertie!

Long time no speak, thanks for the info.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum.

The double skinned exhaust was a key design feature and selling point, however I had the ‘supersport’ Nouvalari fitted, it looks fantastic and sounds incredible.

Nice job TJ.

Great to see you all Saturday.

Jet

It's a 30 minute job per side assuming the nuts on the drop link and the shackles play along and you use a trolly jack to raise and hold the new shackle/bush in place. Good idea TJ, mine were replaced few years ago, except none of these bits played along, it took forever :head: But one more item ti...

Jet

Several options available, the boot, the access panel or a 10" sub slots nicely behind passenger seat, replacing the glovebox.

Failing that, the circuit runs through the same relay switch (I think), just separate fuses (No4 and No24), check all fuses and the relay.

Jet

They have proposed this parade lap is held on the Sunday, hoping they can swap it to the Saturday.

Bear with me...

Jet

Been asked if the Z1 register is interested in a parade lap, and given (not alot of time) to accept or decline. They didn't specify the day, but will target Saturday and confirm.

Anyone?

Jet

Good luck, keen to know the cause.

Bought a used MPH speedo years ago, (seemed like a good idea at the time), just need to remember where its stored.

Jet

It's in the diary, i'll watch this thread for more details.

Jet

the stuff dreams are made of......

Not your dreams Kossyk, I know your not impressed.....

Jet

BBZ,

How much for a full respray? Who is doing it?

Jet

Never thought to check, good idea. On a rare occasion I do get a small splutter, which I understand to be wrong mixture.....

Jet

Manufacturer approval gives them a star marking, officially recognised and approved for use.

Jet

Hopefully tech has moved on to the point we don't see a repeat of that, but its good news as one of the questions that regularly pops up, is there a premium brand tyre for the Z1, looks like we are going to have one.

Jet

Pirelli will be releasing a 225/45-16 P700-Z, pending approval from BMW.

Jet

Unicorn Felt?

Post some pictures please.

I nearly bought a set of belts, but the price gave me stomach-ache.

Jet

Good idea, How are the seatbelt stalks, the red button gets pretty beaten up.

It’s been a while since I did this, but remove seat, unbolt belt, remove blanking panel, side leather trims and it should be easy from there.

website down, but thanks TJS, I will order some of them. Unable to help with your question, as not aware of any other position for the label.

By my calculation, M*O(x2)/M=0.

George, He is far too modest to say so himself, but I recommend speaking to Ivor. The man responsible for restoring a few member's cars like this one. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1770/42601279914_bbf522147e_k.jpg He is also the man responsible for overseeing positioning of the panels in the recre...

Whichever option you go for, ensure the brackets are balanced and machined correctly.

Sam also added some Brembo Bling to my Z1 arches.

Jet

How did it happen and anything we can do to prevent it?

Jet

No special event that I am aware of, as they held a 25th anniversary of the Z1.

Jet

Continuing on from the other thread, I have had a response from BMW Germany, the team who organises trips for BMW Clubs visiting Munich. Based on a 10 day trip and 3 days in Munich, taking into account weather, school holidays, factory schedule etc, they recommend the following: BMW Germany - July 3...

I totally enjoyed that, even the mile of hell, thanks ladies and gents, a few snaps sent in from a few people. GG, your wife is hilarious! Thanks for the review, article out in July Straight Six. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/876/42758112701_be20c5028f_k.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1744/2888...

GG, I would recommend you bite the bullet and remove those units, its easy to do (if you don't have the 10mm bolt directly underneath) then you can see where the issue is. In some cases the foam is either knackered or squished so far into the recess, the lens cover cant make a complete seal. On mine...

Jet

While your under there, check the exhaust hangars also .....

Jet

Well, well, well, so you decided to come see your old Z1 mates after all this time? Well you can sling yer hook!

Crikey, I remember that day and those pictures, when my ride was looking good

How you doing Mr T?

Would you like my opinion on that?

Jet

The females of the house, (human and canine) are forbidden entry after they refused to wear the supplied plastic shoe covers, white cotton gloves and deliberately put a pair of pliers back into it's labeled foam drawer insert upside down. Hence the Z1 print, and others, are now banned in the house....

They are not leaking however, the rear heat shield element is holed. The original metal weave laminate style has been replaced with what looks like thick grey cardboard. Just live with a holed heat shield and the associated OCD. OCD is usually triggered by the 'visible', so as the gasket isn't the ...

Make sure the door is unlocked and pull up with both hands.

Strap? Do you mean Door Belt? How to open/close with a broken belt?

The crack is on the sill panel inline with the rear of the door, about 3" long now. I had the same problem, MOT guy jacked car up resting on sill, had mine repaired, they did a very good job. Grind down both sides, rebuilt with layers of flexible material, then painted back and front. Suggest ...

Kossyk repair kit is pretty good, however I would say it depends where it is and how far its progressed. Wings, inspect regularly, once it starts drill a small hole at the base to stop it progressing, then use the repair kit. Then strengthen all 4 mounting holes as a precaution and renew the rubber ...
