So I'm finally soon to get my zed back on the road after a small restoration. Question being since I've removed the original boot rot spoiler and replaced with a series 2. Do i need a new full width trim to go in between the lights and the upper acrylic/3rd brake light or do you just have a gap in between the trims or no trim at all? Currently i have two trims which fit to the boot lid under/behind the boot lid acrylic. But they obviously don't meet at the middle.

Title says it all really, plenum pull was done to replace the injectors. Plenum has been re installed about half way and I'm looking for some where or someone to finish it off for me as I don't get much time to work on the car and I can't remember the whole process to reinstall it and I was hoping to take the car to japfest at the end of the month... Who or where would come recommended local to me (I'm based in Hemel Hempstead) if a garage is recommended I'd need to be recovered as the car isn't currently drivable. Thanks in advance, Dan.

Hi all, has anyone ever made a plenum install video... I did a plenum pull about 6 weeks ago to diagnose issues. I had injector failure so ordered all the bits to get it back together again. I've replaced the injectors and installed all the hard bits on the plenum. I took photos of the plenum as I uninstalled it but I'm still slightly unsure where everything goes and how to assemble it. Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm trying to get the car ready for japfest and I don't get much time off. Thanks, Dan.

a blue convertible going south pulling off a peace pottage??? got the thumbs up from me as you overtook :thumbup1:

I've been thinking recently about the proportions of the swb bumper in comparison. Nissan for some reason added a few inches to the bumper itself creating a fatter ass. To me the SWB rear bumper has a much more appealing effect profile. It appears that Twinz rear bumpers have the swb style to them. So has anyone and how would you even start, grafted a swb bumper to a lwb. For those who don't know what I'm on about; And the Twinz on a 2+2;

Probably something that no one will be able to answer, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Does anyone know whether Nissan changed or added a UV additive for plastics and glues used on Z32s manufactured from 1993 onward? The reason for my question is mainly due to noticing the dreadful seat belt buckle discolouring seen on pre-93 cars. I changed mine about 10 years ago as the orange had turned into a faided powdery colour. The replacement buckles were from a 93 car and have retained their colour. Other Z32s from 93 onwards I've noticed have never had the faided buckle release and most pre-93 cars have. I've also noticed that dashboards on 93+ cars don't peel li…

Cracking day would have been a shame to keep her locked up

I have an engine problem, and we can't figure it out :( I pulled out the car and I took it to a company to clean it inside and outside. I told them specifically not to wash the engine, and as far I can see it was not touched. Inside of the car it was thoroughly washed, vacuum cleaned. On the way home soething strange happened, and since then is doing it nonstop. When I start the engine the car is working nice, properly. When I start to move up to 2000RPM the car is going good. At EXACTLY 2000 RPM the car starts to jump, but when I mean jump then it jumps, shakes and is loosing power. If it falls below 2000 the car is good again. My mechanic tried everythin…

I'm having a mare removing the rear bumper, so far I've removed the 6 plastic clips at the bottom of the bumper, tried taking out the 2 internal bolts behind the boot trim and the one in the arch. On both sides this is stuck: I can't see that keeping it in place, although advice on how to get them off would be appreciated! Can anyone provide me a step by step guide please? Cheers James

I´m switching my xenon Kit light bulbs 4 the stock Z ones. Need to know the code for the stock original please? is it H7 or H10? the light bulbs I mean. Thanks folks

Hi mate, can't remember if your VH45 is an S1 or S2 but I have some spare S1 ignition parts if you want them after changing to VW coilpacks. 4x coils, 3x PTU and 2 sub harnesses.

Hi, I am doing some work on my Z at the moment and have found 2 of these brackets (opposing rails), can someone please tell me what they are for and if I'm ok to remove them. Kind regards, James

Multiple questions, single post, hoping someone can make sense of what I'm about to ask. When I bought my NA shorty, there were a couple of connectors unplugged in the engine bay. I drove like this not noticing them for a while, noticed them and plugged them in. No difference seems to have presented itself aside from a slight hesitation if I floor it at low revs. Not sure if that was there anyway. One was on the back of the engine, dead centre, just behind the plastic throttle cable cover, the other on the left side of the engine, tied to the head (looking from the front). Pics enclosed. Any ideas what these doohickeys do? Second question... What…

While under the car today noticed this was leaking (red area on photo) just making sure i have the correct part and wondering is it fixble new seals etc or just bin and replace it any help appreciated :shifty:

Who was that I just saw turning right out of the bottom of Shepton high Street?

The other day i was looking for a specific light part for my new zed build. Specifically rear bumber markers that are smoked in colour so it matched the purple bumper looks better. Anyways; the previous seller i got these from no longer stocks them so i searched ebay again and found nothing. Turning to google a few links came up showing the part on ebay which previous searches didn't show. After i logged into the US version of the site and added it to my watch list and thinking i can browse the sellers shop directly later on from the UK site i found that it was empty. Back to the US version again the shop was full of stuff that we dont get to se…

So whats the furthest everyones traveled for the cheapest of parts within the UK ? At the weekend i traveled from Troon to nearly Aberdeen to collect a replacement rear bumber for my zed. And it cost me £10. Thats just over 170 miles and 3 hours 20 minutes to get there. Great sites coming back on the coastal route mind you so well worth the £10.

I am starting a group buy as it may help some people looking to go selin in the future. The main part of this group buy will be for the two 90° silicone hoses to connect the MAFs to the intercooler pipes seen here: You can buy these pipes from Z1 as part of a kit however the price is about $300 over the standard selin, which I think is an unreasonable premium. Cost of a pair of pipes custom made for us, is £12, and can be done in a variety of colours. Postage for a single item is £28, so the group buy can lower overall cost including shipping estimate as below: 1 person: £40 5 people: £21.79 10 people: £19 Price continues to reduce for every par…

Just seen they have titanium key replicas back in stock! And I've only just done an order :crying: well actually my order was from CZP but they're charging $99 for them, Z1 are $39! I want to order a red one quick in case they put the price up but shipping is a killer. Anyone doing a Z1 order mind getting one for me and posting it on? Happy to pay up front!

Hi guys, I got a CAS related issue when cranking with fully charged battery...no spark at all. I removed the CAS and turned the CAS shaft by hand and spark and injectors work. Fuel pressure also primes. Checked loom for breaks/intermittent faults and also checked all earths are ok...fitted new CAS loom connector and tried 2 other known working CAS units..same issue. I also checked cam turns when cranking...took the plastic cover off the CAS to see it turns while cranking. Why does CAS not work when on the motor??? What am I doing wrong?

Have bought replacement scuttle panels- what tool(s) are best for removing the fixings without damaging the fixings? Thanks
