Spotted ya Daz :D Today at your fav place - matalan! :rofl: Car looks nice mate - lovin the wheels :bow: Isaac :cool:

Cheers bud :bow: Thanks very much for all the advice, the help, supplying me the panels and the look around your garage ;) You really are a top bloke :D And to anyone who's never dealt with Pete, well give him a go he really is the most helpful guy I've had dealings with on this forum :D :duffer: :dance:

Was a passenger so not in my zed....looked very nice...first one ive seen in ages.!....

as you all know i have a boosting problem (atleast i think it is) however i have noticed that on every start up i get the power light flash 15 times. when driving i have noticed that third will only come in if the revs are fairly high. Fourth (overdrive) is fine .......... so far i have also tried counting the gears yesterday and i swear on numerous occasions it felt like i got 5th????! now obviously this is not fifth so something must be slipping when i bought the car it had an aftermarket gear shifter without the overdrive button..... i did find kind of think this was odd but i had presumed the older owner did not know about preserving the gear …

thinking about this for a while now, my daily drive is a new beemer 5 series and when you shut the door or go for a drive its just sounds solid :bow: now i was thinking some sound proofing/deadning would make the zed sound a little more chunky if you know what i mean :hyper: am i on the right tracks with this? doing as much as i can doors/underfloor/boot/bulkhead will this help? im sure bassologist on here sells the stuff :nana2: any thoughts gents

Just thought id share a few photos of a massive tech day held in Victoria yesterday which i attended and had a blast of a time. I was on a mission to check as many zeds with Conzult as i could. It was a bad day for knock sensor codes the silver slicktop ended up with the worst recorded figures from conzult. knock sensor code, only 1 cylinder firing properly and i think o2 sensors needed replacing. I also spent alot of the day going back and forth between socialising groups discussing all kinds of zed related stuff and what not. I unfortunately had to leave at 3pm due to work commitments.

how good is it to be back driving the zed!! this has to be the best money iv spent on the car so far, cant believe how much i like the manual box better i feel alot more safer and in control of the car alana says it scares her more now though lol much thanx to john300zx for the kit, jefftt for the speedy service on the reverse switch and james my mechanic for fitting it all. is it morning yet so i can go out and wash her and take her back out lol

I have made somthing for my car today which seems to be rare not yet finished but it should be tomorrow. one clue: One of our traders can get hold of them. but he has never sold one and you will have very little cash left from £800 :eek: What is it?? yes/no answers will be given only. :)

I have been using the autobox diagnstics test, and i'm no expert when it comes to something like a "line pressure solenoid" or a "clutch overrun solenoid"... It's all well & good being able to identify what the fault code is, but if you are new to the car and don't know what those parts are, where they are located and what you should do next... it's as good as.... Is there anywhere that has a guide to where all the line pressure solenoids and solenoids and circuits e.t.c that are mentioned in the gearbox diag?

I pressed my switch down to make the rear wiper do a little sweep.. then the button which I pressed down gently made a click, and now it wont let me do the sweep anymore lol, it's broken!!! I'm guessing I need to pull the pod off and clip something back in?? any advice appreciated

My car is pretty much spot on in everyway, exterior, interior.. except this bloody auto gearbox which as I have mentioned in the help section. I'm debating on getting a manual conversion, but was wondering if this is really solving the problem, also what will insurance be like when they realise it's been tinkered with in way that it's no-longer an auto.. and will this affect re-sale?.. Also, I don't really want to sell the car, because of a) prices at the moment b) the auto/man conv is almost half of what the car is worth... Obviously it's fate rests in my hands (or wallet) until I decide whether it's worth keeping and restoring, or getting something else and live h…

Drove down today to drop off some more bits! I hadn't seen the car in the flesh for about 2 months and i have to say Phil has done an absolutely outstanding job with this!!!:bow: It looks like a car again and Phil has put in many hours of work!! Some more updated photo's and a couple of questions. 1. The 1 piece prop where it goes into the gearbox (2nd Picture) Does this look normal as we think it could go in further? It is an Inland Empire one if anyone else is using this as well. Just need to know if this looks normal? 2. Wiring for the neutral and reverse switches. Which of the plugs do you use to wire in a neutral switch? There are 3, which i tried…

Waiting to get into the red car park.....Driver looked follicle challenged :eek:

Drivers side under dash by the diag plug theres a connector with nothing in it? and cant find what should be in it lol any ideas people? p.s. sorry for the poor pics its the plug on the right.

Just found out my car has many vac leaks, all leaks are sorted bar 1, the passenger side turbo has a big leak according to my mechanic, he said that if you gradually floor it u will hear the leak, it is quite hard to hear as the exhausts are loud, its going in to be hooked up to a smoke leak detector to pinpoint the leak, I hope its not going to be to much trouble, looks like I will have to keep the boost right down till I get it sorted. Bloody car, does my head in sometimes.

Does anyone have an icon on their desktop that directs them straight to this site ?? I use one for E-bay, facebook, mail etc and they work great. I think they are used on vista only but could be wrong. If there isn`t one availabe, maybee someone could make one?? :)

Firstly, since getting my zed, it had a few probs, but with some tlc, and care its been getting better and better. It has been running perfectly for last 6 months, no probs with anything and is a dream to own. Last night, went out for a quick beer, weather was good, cant deny it, i drove hard maybe too hard. Got back and let it cool down. Until just now. Go to get a paper. Turn the key, and the most god awful whine and clatter is coming from starter motor. After a few heated words with each other, she aint playing. Jack up and have a look. Fooking top bolt on the starter has fallen off somewhere, thus the teeth are not engaging, hence the dam noise. Now wil…
