Does anyone have a used OEM gear knob that they no longer want? More than happy to buy it from you if its in decent nick.

gents i tried my new boost controller at 15psi today running stock injectors, turbo technics stage 1 turbos and john dixon chip ( same as jwt i believe ) everything was fine till i came to start the car again and a missfire in the no6 cyl was traced to a dead injector :mad: checked the spark was ok cleaned the injector connections still the same did the listening trick with the screw driver no clicking on no6 :smash: is there a way to test them in situ? what are the volts to the connector can i test that in some way? am i able to remove the injector without pulling the plennum?? did the 15psi cause this?? any help greatly …

Seen my only Z down at cornwall on holiday on the way back. it was gold and heading south near jamaica inn area at about 9:15am on the 18th.

what does the wires from the loom, to the solenoids actually do? is it just a posotive and negative to tell them to "work" ive done a NA to TT conversion, wondered rarther than fitting an EBC, could just wire 2 wires to the solenoids from the battery. or am sure someone will explain the certain signals they receive otherwise :D

Ok I'm picking up my zed in about ten days, and she's been well looked after, but has sat in a garage for the last 18 months. Do these cars have any issues, after sitting for so long? The engine's not much of a concern, as it's only 3 years old, but obviously it's gonna get a look over, are there any areas I need to pay particular attention to? Cheers :duffer:

Just interested if anyone with a wad of service history in their Z, has the original sales invoice as a new car from all those years ago - just interested to see one and that mega price tag :)

:dance::dance: well had the car for three years now and never been confident driving it long distances. decided to take it away for a few days drove from mine down to richmond near the yorkshire dales the first day. then drove through the yorkshire dales the next morning visiting the forbidden corner really cool place. after lunch drove across to whitley bay passing durham an sunderland on the way then up to berwick upon tweed for dinner. after dinner headed up the coast and back home about 520 miles in total and no problems:dance::dance:

I'll hopefully be there on the weekend of Aug 7/8/9 whilst visiting the Old Timers Grand Prix ( an ironic yet actual title for the event). Taking the Zed and of course it'll be so much quicker with newly painted bumpers, polished alloys and that new rear spoiler...................... If anyone's out there give us a shout. Last yeat not another Zed in Germany it seemed.

Does anyone know of any services that will replace journal bearing turbos with ball bearing turbos. No other work required just the bearings... Cheers in advance! :p

When it shows the O" sensors one of them says O2 Sensor RH. Is this the Right Hand side when looking at the front of the car or is it the drivers side?

I have a greddy e-01 ebc, my settings are Set 20 Gain 45 and Start 0.15, I have an option afer market boost gauge that goes to 10 on full boost, im either at 1 bar or 10 psi not sure. Can anyone help?

Finally sorted my hesitsting and nearly stalling issues out. Found out that the rubber seal was missing between the nose panel and front bumper, water was dripping onto my air filter, took my air filter and AFM off, sprayed some engine cleaner into the AFM, cleaned my air filter using the KaN cleaning kit and replaced, I then got some perspex and cut to shape to fit under the nose panel so that any water that did manage to get under their would drip beyond my airfilter, car is now running smooth even when its been raining, well chuffed.

hi all i'm in the process of rebuilding/ replacing my turbos and was thinking of using a kit off ebay thats been recommended on here: Item number: 320364810675 my question is this, i believe my turbos are smoking because my car is decatted, if i use a kit like this, whats to stop the same thing happening again and my turbos smoking again? is there any uprated seals i can use or anything i can do to make sure it stops, apart from putting a standard exhaust back on??? :confused::confused::confused: rich

Dilemma....but think i have made my decission. Ok folks, as use all kn ow i bought stellaz car knowing i had to do something with the engine. My first plan was just to go for a replacemet engine from jeff at zedworld as the engines go through a strict amount of tests before being decalared safe to be put in the car. Then people started going on about rebuilds and i started to swing that way..... But i think i have my answer.....at the moment the zed should be running around 346bhp at fly and 286 at the wheels, which im more than happy with as speed and thats on a standard engine....So i think i am going to go for the replacement engine from jeff and lo…

under the impression that my car may not be starting due to old fuel in the car. the petrol maybe over a year ana half old? mabye more as i have a SORN for 2006. but i think its been on the road after that, mayeb a year ana half? what be the easiest way do it? read you can spin the CAS, remove the pipes from the fuel filter isit? which ones as there are 2 pipes....

I bought this last year and have just got around to fitting it. My problem is i can't remember how to fit it :confused: Has anyone any pictures ? where does the black plate go ? I'm not even sure 100 % which way up it goes LOL :smash:

Got around to starting to sort out a few bits and pieces for bringing the Z up to scratch again, and instead of having one headlight blown, its actually both of them. Obviously my first thought was bulbs when it was one, as the nearside went first, but I checked the bulbs and the filament seems intact. My next thought was it must be the relay, so I swopped the dims relay for the other one in the fuse box which is the same, (cant remember what it was for), but that didnt make a difference. Now I'll try getting bulbs anyway but I think its too much of a coincidence that 2 bulbs would blow in such a short timescale together. I'm just wondering is there anything else it could…

Very nice black one with crystal sides, parked on somones driveway in front of there garage located on the A440! Not a clue what the name of your area is LOL!

See you today around 12ish heading towards the M4 Roundabout!
