I have had the car off the road since Febuary. Just started her up and the engine ran for about 20 seconds and then slowly stopped. Trying to restart, sounds like it wants to start but won't. Since it's been off the road i have changed the plugs, cam belt, water pump, radiator, oil, fuel filter, oil filter, removed hicas and A/C and fited underdrive pulleys and new belts. My gut feeling is that it is not electrical, and that there is no fuel getting to the engine. Does any one know how to check the pump is working? I disconnected the filter and there was a bit of fuel in it. Turning the engine over with the fillter off, no fuel pumped out - should it?:(

Hi All Jap auto tt Not sure whether related.. did an emergency type stop this evening.. all fine and drove off..however my boost gauge is reading 0. Was fine before reading in both minus and plus as expected. When the car is turned off the gauge drops to -7, start again and it centres and stays there. Idles ok, seems to run ok. Im a little new to the z so would appreciate any ideas/info Regards Daz

Resposting thsi from 3zc

steering was fine, replaced me pas pot with the powdercoated one done all the bleed prosedures ect but me steering is heavy now :headvswal any ideas PLEASE? dan.:(

Just before I go off an order some bits, just wanted to check I got this as right as I think I have. My car has a single exit, which doesn't look that good, sounds great but is to loud for long trips. So as far as I can see, the car appears to have de-cats already fitted, and to them is bolted a "Y" piece. I take it an "H" section (for a SWB obviously) would bolt on to the de-cats and then it's just a case of having some back boxes made up? Heres some pics and a video of the system plus the rust I found which shouldn't be too hard to sort out. DRIVERS SIDE JUST BEHIND REAR WHEEL: PASSENGERS SIDE JUST BEHIND REAR WHEEL:

is it possible to convert a LH drive car RH drive? and if it is how much would it cost to do this job?

Ok guys......a route my arm is slightly being twisted towards is the engine rebuild. Was just wondering if any you guys have had this done? Who done it? Where abouts? and if you dont mind a rough price for the work? Is it worth getting t28 turbos or just new standard turbos? prices of them? Just curious to what you guys and gals have had done. Craig

Paul I need to get in touch with you and your number has changed. Please call me 07932 042 060

Hello. Well as you all know i purchased my zed from stella knowing its needing a new engine anyways. today the knocking got slightly louder(harder) and i think its over fueling as it is very very strong when driving the car, so i think its time to get some help and get it into a garage for work. Have been trying to contact JeffTT, completely understand you are busy and select the e-mails and pms you answer back to, but would be very grateful if you could check the date i asked for in the pm and get back to me so that it can be booked in and i know where i stand. IN the meantime........does anybody have any info..companies etc that may be of help with the…

Hi guys, I'm trying to find out what pressure the NA/TT power steering rack puts out through those metal pipes front and back. I only ask as i'm looking at replacing them with areoquip connectors and hoses but they're only rated to to a certain pressure? If anyone knows or could find out pretty sharpish as i need the pipes making up to get the subframe in and ultimately the V8 engine in. If i can't use aeroquip it means waiting another week for the engineer to get back. Cheers, Nick

Well the 300 was a little dirty when I picked it up, and I've not had the time to do anything about it until today, well yesterday now lol. Cleans up pretty well, but due to the body needing some tidying and some welding, it's gonna get worse before it gets better.......

The rubber ends on the targa bar locator were in a bad way and the only to replace them was a new locator so started this morning removed inside roof trim to get at the bolts for centre locator once removed and area cleaned new locator was fitted and trim replaced. Roof looks like new now so well pleased what do you think old t bar locator roof trim removed new locator old locator removed and new locator fitted

Hi all My Zed arrives from Japan in about a week (VERY excited) so what I need to know is what needs to be done to make it appropriate for the UK ? And who can supply me with the parts/expertise I may need ? The only thing I can think of is converting the speedo. Where can I get the necessary bits or can anyone recommend an expert ? Anything else ? All advice very much appreciated. Mark (Topless) is Martyn still working on Zeds ? He was my nearest Zed mechanic....... Mark

Hi All, trying to fit a Momo wheel, the boss has the copper looking ring around the bottom to connect (rub) to the car, but there is some plastic device on my car that will not "rub" on the Momo boss. What is the way to get the horn connections to work? Do I have to buy another part or moidify the original? Thanks
