As my engine undertray is FUBAR'd I was wondering if it needs to be replaced or can I just do with out? My jdm didn't have but my uk does :confused: What are the pro's and con's of the tray?

The issue of fractured lower arms was raised by Mac 1 some years ago and was as a direct result of fitting single piece rod bushes with too little compliance, a problem that was dealt with by redesigning the bushes. Check out the photos below, the tension rod arm fixings have become detached completely taken a section of the lower arm with it. The arm was discovered by an RAC recovery when called to the car on the motorway with a puncture on the n/s front, the owner not really understanding the full implication continued to drive the car for a few days until the steering feeling eventually got so bad it was uncomfortable With the wheel removal all was reve…

Hi, just bought my first Zed, it came with a profec b spec 2 boost controller, and was just wondering what all the settings should be on for standard boost?

It's that time of year where I have to replace the ALT and PAS Belts cause there making a ticking slip noise again! Really annoys me as I know other Zed's not running the engine under tray and they don't seem to have this problem... Would I be better of getting a geniune Nissan belts this time or just stick to the Gates ones the usual motor factors normally supply me? :confused: Also does it make a huge difference if the belt is not quiet exactly 39" / 990mm? Slightly to short or long, could that cause the problem in wet weather???

whats the colour code for the nissan straight black please lads ???;)

Poor alarm installations are all to common occurrence that have to be dealt with, nuisance alarms, poor responding fobs, troublesome immobilises etc., however when you see some of the cable route use by some less qualified technicians its now wonder they play up. The photo below shows part of the alarm loom on a Toad alarm from the siren to the main unit, incredible although you cannot see it in the picture it was cable tied to the steering shaft!!! Jeff TT

For anyone looking to run a high power unfused stereo cable to the battery this is quite possible the worst ever way to do it. Jeff TT

I need bigger injectors and was planning on going down the following route DeatschWerks adapters to fit later style injectors as nismo one's for original rail are silly money, bigger injectors, and as the standard fuel rail struggles to get fuel to the last injectors I was thinking of splitting the rail running 2 feeds 2 fpr's, cant find any info if any one has run the standard rail as separate sides Thoughts ?

was a good meet and was nice to see a few of you :D

I just replaced front and rear shocks,and thought i would replace the silicone filled bushes in the tension rods. The 12mm Bolt holding the rubber strip to the bottom wishbone sheared off:headvswal on both sides :headvswal:headvswal. My question is the rubber strip is it to aid airflow to the brakes? and what effect would it have if i removed them. Otherwise it means drilling out the part thats left sheared in the wishbone:rolleyes: Dave

I had some ferodo discs for my Z and they have only lasted about a 1000 miles. And now they are warped. Can anybody suggest a good disc to go for, and is there any real benefit to running a tt Z with grooved or drilled (or both) discs on the front? Thanks, Dan

got a problem with my lights. if i put just side lights on the passenger side hid fires up but not drivers, i assumed this was dim dip and just drivers side didnt go for some reason. however i just went to try an solve the problem so 1st checked the voltages, drivers read 0.14 whereas the passenger side read 12.4 now if it was dim dip surely the voltage wouldn't as high as normal low beam would it? does anybody have any idea what is going on and how to sort it? thanks

I know there is a word for this but I have forgotten it lol. Anyway, on full boost my Z makes a rattling noise from the turbos, it seems to of gotton worse since I have put an aftermarket air filter on my car... What exactly is causing this noise? Is there a remedy? And what will it break first? Thanks, Dan

Where is the best place to drain the coolant from on my 1992 UK tt Z? And what capacity does it take to re-fill? Thanks, Dan

Ok, the time has come to lower the Z, but only a bit. I found some lowering springs on ebay that claim to lower by 2" all round, I measured where that would take the wheel to in the arch and it is far too low! So, now im not sure exactly how low I want to go... But, are just lowering springs a wise move, or will the ruin the cars handling? If so, what other options are availible, and, it would be most helpful if you guys could post some pics of your lowered Z`s and give details on what set-up they are and how much they are lowered by... Thanks for your help, Dan
