hello, just looking for someone near chelmsford to help me diagnose some faults. This car is really getting to me (not to the point i will get rid of) however it is having me spend 24/7 thinking and worrying about my car. I will throw in some petrol money aswell :-) any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Im looking to fit a doolz set-up within the next few months. But im not 100% sure about the electronics side of things. i.e. getting the ECU to read the correct amount of air. Am i right in thinking that it is as simple as fitting the twin intake with one air flow meter and the ECU can be chipped to make it read the correct amount of air?

ive got side skirts coming and was wondering as ive got indiglo sills are there any problems fitting skirts and indiglo sills as im sure the skirts will come over the indiglo sills any advice be great.

Ive looked everywhere obvious, could anyone point me in the right direction pleeeease!

...vacuum feed pipe (6mm) from my mechanical boost gauge to the balance bar? I know a lot of people have rooted wires through the bonnet release wire grommet on the bulkhead, but I didn't want to put the vacuum pipe through there as it looks a bit tight. With oil and water wires already going through there, I'm worried it may kink the pipe? Is there another way I can feed this pipe? Cheers for any help Dave

Did Nissan change the front lights and have a 99 spec front lights? This may be a totally stupid question, but am I right in thinking there were subtle changes to the older versions lights? If I'm not mad, can anybody tell me the difference between the different specs and a pic would be good, so that I can check mine. Thanks

Warning to all zed owners but in particular UK spec ones, started to see a worrying increase in corrosion issues with engine sumps, the first two photos show how it starts, eventually as seen in the last photo the sump becomes very thin and porous, replacement is the only answer which can be costly in labour as well as a new sump pan. So if you have noticed an oil leak under the engine and an oily sump pan check it out , and anyone who has not got a leak yet, check your sump pan for corrosion and treat it asap. Jeff TT

My zed hasn't been run for a couple of months as I'm doing a lot of work on it. Went to start it today and nothing happened :mad: All the electrics work, battery is fully charged but when I turn the key it does nothing, not even a click :headvswal The car had an alarm fitted but the previous owner had disabled it. While doing the interior I removed the (and chucked!) the alarm control box as I didn't think it was doing anything. All that I left was the wiring that is going to the ignition switch. Could this be my problem? Could I have inadvertently disabled the ignition? Help!!

Anybody recommend any local paint suppliers in Cornwall?? Used to be one in Pool but that was some years ago and can't remember the name. Done a few searches but just household paint comes up :( Need a bumper and spoiler paint matched. Oh, how many litres would you expect would be needed for the above?? :confused:

Evening all. http://www.hopupracing.com/aecocaexsyfo.html would you guys put this on your zed? are they any good? will it pop my gearbox?

My car is now in auto trader and pistonheads,cant beleave im still wanting to do things to it,like better clocks and now im thinking of doing up the interior,just cant let go.:confused::confused::confused:

I have been looking at chin spoilers without really finding any, apart from the Viper V1 and V2 Chin Spoiler from the zcentre. http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=21_22_26&products_id=276 I want to change the front slightly and put on some sort of lower chin spoiler to bring out the lower part of the front bumper. Does anyone know of any other companys that do these to give me more of a selection to choose from please? Thanks, Ant

My zed is down at D2 for some serious TLC (much welding, amongst other things), and Darren has told me that all its shocks need replacing :( So, I've done a quick search on the site for previous discussions on the matter, and I still think I'd like your input. Basically, I've got a stock 93 UK LWB TT. I'm not into massively modding it up, more interested in restoration, but I'm not against minor improvements in handling (and power - but that's a thread for another day). The question is: do I fit stock shocks (cheap option) or do i spring for something else, and if so, what do i go for? Chris

Anyone seen the article in the new redline mag about bov testing? apparently some of the tests revealed better times (spool up i think) on recircs and on other occasions even better with no bov fitted?.....Just been doing some research on the interweb and there is a lot of mixed views on whether or not it actually does harm if any to the turbo, there is obviously pros and cons to both methods but what is everyones opinions on not using any form of bov?

Hi all, please can i have some help i know it is cheeky to ask just after joining. My 300z subframe bushes have gone i have the energy suspension bushes to do it, but i just need to know is it easier to get a garage to do the work or do it yourself and if anyone has done it and has an easier way than the manual. . My 300z will not be making japfest this year am gutted however i am still going in my Sunny GTI which i am selling, glad i did not sell it sooner now though as the 300z is still in the body shop. how do you put pics on the fourm please. Many thanks again Andy.
