There is a black Zed in York which is apparently almost identical to mine, i havent seen him driving around but he is getting me into trouble lol. I keep having people come up to me and saying they saw me driving around so so the other day when it wasnt me! Would be cool to meet up with the illusive identical twin.

Hi Guys, My auto TT zed is revving on idle to about 2000rpm and gear change from 1st to 2nd is late?? when i turn the ignition on, the `POWER` light flashes about 5 times??? Anybody know what goin on, Thanks kind regard`s Darren.

I have a favour to ask, can I come look at someones Z (twin turbo) and all the pesky little pipes in the engine bay? I'm nearly there with fitting my engine and plumbing it in but need to check its all going right. Pics on the net are ok but its not the same as seeing one in real life :smw: thanks in advance...

Before I get my bov's fitted as my circies are shagged and honkin, anyone had any idling or over rich running issues / anything at all negative (apart from those who don't like the sound, I'm not overly kean on the sound but do not have brand new recirc fundings so not a real option and it's an auto so won't hear them too often) cheers for any input

What size are the brake booster vac hoses? Is it about 19mm? dia

Can you buy inner & outer sills and weld them on my sills are looking worn jack damage rust ect, and if so, whats the job like to do or cost to have done thanks.

nice white zed in frimley high street this morning at 7.30.

Latest photo from Phil today. Engine is in car and being plumbed in!

ok i know iv got more pressing things the now since i curently have no keys for the car lol but wanted to get you guys opinions on which wheels you prefer as is the now or these

Could someone please tell me if I can fit a radiator from an NA auto into a manual TT? Looking at the one I have bought it seems like it is wider than the gap that is there for it, saying that I haven't taken any of the metal piping out yet but just wondered if it was physically possible. I've also noticed that theres other pipes that go at the bottom and didn't know whether autos use the cooling rad to cool the auto box too? :confused:

Hi guys been on the forum a while but only just got round to buying my first Z , i have 2 Bov's that need fitting, just wondering are they easy to do yourself or would i have to take it to a garage, and how long roughly does it take an average person to do?? :D Love the new car by the way, gives me a big grin everytime i drive it.

Will be picking the car up from Pro speed exhausts tomorrow as they have finished the down pipe/ centre section and externat wastegate mount. The exhaust is 3in all the way to the middle of the car where it joins to 2 x 2 1/2in exhausts. A few pictures below, more to follow tomorrow A little confusing this one but shows the secondary manifolds with the start off the take off for the wastegate then the fat 3in section!

Hey all just thought should mention had the Z in for it's M.O.T the other day and she failed :( not to bad though i think :o This is how it reads from the M.O.T Test * offside front brake pipe excessively corroded * (all full length and rear brake pipes excessively corroded) *Parking brake lever has no reserve travel (new about this one though) +service brake efficiency below requirements’ +see note - (braking performance not tested- as pipes excessively corroded) I also got a few advisory items, but nothing major however i knew nothing of most of the work needed above and after speaking to the garage that tested the Z…

Are they the same thing or is their two seperate tests? I found one pipe that is hissing, left hand side of engine near balance bar comming off a small black cylinder shaped object and there is a slight hiss from the right hand side of engine near the balance bar but a bit deeper down, the car is booked in next friday and any pipes that need replacing will be replaced, I hope it sorts out my almost stalling issue, I have just replaced the water temp sensor.

was out working on the zed tonight changing the other tension rod, anyway somewhere along the line i have lost my set of keys. the thing that is worrying me most is that at one point one of the local no gooders stopped and borrowed a 10mm spanner for his mini moto didnt really pay attention to what he was doing was there for about 5 mins then gave me it back. meanwhile my keys were lay next to my tools. however when i cleaned up i now have no keys dont know what has happened to them, have checked my toolboxs van car house cant lay hands on them, my spare set are at the bodyshop so cant use them to lock or move it. whats my options regarding getting new ones?

Been working on the zed and getting some much needed work done as its been hanging over my head.......had the LED's done and the indiglows fitted by groover a while ago....so owe him a big thanks Got the gauges fitted and today we managed to wire them all up and get them going Enjoy the video..............it has audio so worth listening to the engine on start up

I just put my 300 back together after having the plenum off to change the injectors, since putting it all back together i have disturbed somthing on the brakes. when the car is switched off there is resistance on the brake pedal, when the engine is on there is no resistance unles pressed quickly twice, but after only a couple of seconds this pressure is gone. the handbrake works, and the brake light on the dash is on! also i belive the fuse for the radio is blown, i dont know where it is though as i dont have the handbook. Francis.

Without children With children Makes a nice bench to sit on in the sun:D

well having destroyed my engine i have invested in new car. not a 300 but technically stil a zed :D .......... a bright yellow bmw z3 2.2 lol. i get pics up later at the weekend

Hi Guys just looking some advice on an RB engine swap ie how much, or wat work is involved? I've had a ZX TT manual and would love another but hate the v6 engine cause here in Ireland getting people to work on it is a nightmare and costs a fortune. Anybody help out thinking of buying this cause the engine is knocking. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1004427.htm

hi, first post on this, i recently bought my 300zx TT manual, it soon developed a missfire i was told it was the fuel injectors so set about removing them. now finally got it back together and it still has the miss fire :( and now developed a brake problem too. im very keen to get it on the road fully servicable, but i need a good place to send it or have somone come and look at it. any advaice would be apprecaited Francis.

Hey gotta be someone on here was grey lwb reg CEZ 1851 looked good parked up in the tent site. Also good to see a good taste in music for Zed drivers :hyper: Marty
