As above!! My Z failed its MOT last month on having excessively coroded rear brake pipes. However I dropped it off to Jeff last week and he has now fixed it - I collected the car yesterday:hyper: Jeff also replaced the leaking master cylinder, fixed the intermittant driver's window fault and ran a Conzult test tweaking any bits as necessary. Plus he had the car MOTd for me too. Thanks Jeff - you're a star!!! And thanks to Linda as well for the "shuttle service" to/from the station:bow: I had a very good run home too :p Richard:cool:

Hi Guy`s, There was a zed for sale on E-bay this week, and the listing said that this car was being shown on channel 5`s FIFTH Gear in July sometime ??? Does anyone know if this is true?? If it is true i hope they say nice things about the zed`s :)

Hi all I’ve been looking into this for a few weeks now and just thought I would ask on here first for your thoughts/suggestions. 1. How much would I expect to pay for an EFI loom? 2. Any companies in the UK making replacement looms for the 300zx? 3. How hard would it be to make my own? All answers much appreciated Thanks

Video of the engine running now, first minute is just it running. Then about about 11 seconds from the end there is a metallic noise from the crank pullet area then about 6 seconds from the area the download goes funny :rant: but you can hear for a few seconds. Anyone have any ideas as what it is? Car sounds great apart from that

Only after switching on my car and theres a small ratle coming from the very top of the engine i think it comes from the area of the valves. anyone can help trying to diagnose this and need to know if its drivable as im 50miles away from home. thanks in advance.

Hi just wondering has anyone converted theyre z to electric power steering pump. if so was what problems did you have if any . thanks. Lee.

Hi all, I was checking the oil and water on the Zed last night and noticed this small unconnected hose. It's at the back of the engine to the outside of the autobox dipstick and looks like a vacuum hose (see pic).......any ideas where it should attach to? Thanks in advance - Andy

Lovely morning, just dropped the missus off at work so i think its time to wash both cars. Hope the weather holds out

hi ive got a 1995 twin turbo,does anyone no where the idle adjuster screw is or is it done electronicallyl.. and also does anyone no why the engine dies when i pull up to a junction,this only happens when its cold?

Hello All I know I havent been on here for a LONG time. After searching the internet I cant find anyone who sells the Veilside wing mirrors, have they stopped making them? are there any other aftermarket ones avaliable. Eddie

thought id give it its own thread. feel free to share opinions etc... :D it shows fwhp and torque

had my car dyno'ed today and found out that at the top of the rev range the car is running very rich and the power drops off as a result of this. deffinately need to get car remapped as the ecu also seems to not allow me to put the boost anywhere above 0.9bar. so what fwhp do you guys think i produced with these problems? (i have boost controller chipped ecu aftermarket exhaust and filter)

ok i still cant seem to get rid of this bloody rattle and it is really starting to do my head in. ok when ticking over cars sounds fine i can rev up the engine and still sounds fine. Now when i take it out for a run all is ok until i push a little harder. as soon as get some boost i get this annoying rattle (metalic). the more boost the louder the rattle. i have checked heat shield around turbos and they seem fine. it seems to be coming from front passenger side. is there anything that i may have missed. iv also checked brake disk plate and also seems fine. :headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:mad::mad:

Non turbo accident repair. Ok little story for you here, roll the clock back 3 years and unfortunately this non turbo suffered a heavy front and side impact into a small river!! however it was subsequently repaired by the insurance at their approved bodyshop. Following this the car ran very uneven, with very low performance and heavy fuel use, starting and other issues forced a disappointed owner into garaging the car for 3 years. After contacting a Nissan dealer who gave him our contact number it came to our workshop on a trailer. The twin turbo front bumper although not normally an issue tells the beginning of this sad story, the back of the bumper…

Picked my car up from zedworld today at about 9:30, had running problems and MOT time. Another 12months driving and thanks to team at zedworld again for making her run a hell of a lot better. Also just wandering who i seen there today and whos car was in the garage. Regards Andy

Doesnt seem to be much of an interest in this show is it legendarily bad? I've never been before but its only 100 miles away and while the zed is running and looking goodish, be good to see some more zedders :hyper:

After 5 months without my Zed I finally got to drive it again last night and it was just as good...no...BETTER than the first time I ever drove it!! And it was all thanks to Jimmer and Daryll!! Just wanted to post up a HUGE thanks to both of them for a fantastic job! I've been a right pain in the arse, always umming and ahhing about what exactly I want and the direction I wanted to go in but Jimmer has been patient with me all the way, giving me unbiased advice. Any request I had was met with a 'I'll give it a go' attitude which was such a welcome relief. In addition, the almost daily updates I got (both messages and pictures) was amazing as I could really see t…

well dropped the car off with the mechanic this morning for its manual conversion counting the days already lol

cars been down garage, and theyv had RAC diagnostic thing onit aswell. the injectors are not working, not clicking, and not getting power/earth. ive done a NA to TT conversion, kept the NA loom. using the TT ECU ive changed the connections on the front 4 injectors. the ECU is not showing any error codes. the injectors were working fine before i did the swap, as the engine is from my old car, as is the ECU. do i need a new loom? im about to give up on the car :(

maybe a repost? i like it :bow: but the cost :cry: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330337189095&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fitems%2F%3F_nkw%3D%2B330337189095%26_in_kw%3D1%26_ex_kw%3D%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_okw%3D%2B330337189095%26_oexkw%3D%26_udlo%3D%26_udhi%3D%26_ftrt%3D901%26_ftrv%3D1%26_sabdlo%3D%26_sabdhi%3D%26_samilow%3D%26_samihi%3D%26_sadis%3D200%26_fpos%3DPostcode%26LH_SALE_CURRENCY%3D0%26_sop%3D12%26_dmd%3D1%26_ipg%3D50%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1
