When my zed gets to about 60mph it begins to shake. Also when braking the steering wheel shakes a lot... Whats causing this??? The wheels are all balanced and I had new discs and pads on the front about 6 months ago...

Hi there everyone, Can i get your opinion in this radiator? Is it a decent replacement or is a new Nissan item the way forward? Many thanks, Rob http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=230278844166

I've bought all the bits and am ready to start a new ICE install. I've also got myself a new interior so it will all go in together hopefully. I haven't quite decided how I want to fit it and how to arrange the various speakers etc so any help would be appreciated. Any links to any nice zed installs would be great. The components I have are: Pioneer DEX P90RS and DEQ P90 processor 2 X Diamond Audio D7401 amps (maybe a third if necessary) 2 X Diamond Audio Subs TDX12D4 Pair of Pioneer TS-M01RSII speakers with TS-T01RSII tweeters. I can do some work myself but if anyone knows a good amateur installer in or around southampton who wants to ear…

Hey everyone, The day was going quite good today until I lost power on the motorway all of a sudden. Mine is a jap spec and the stock boost guage is not reading past 0 and there is no power at all. After reading a few threads here I believe its the passenger turbo seized. Now the symptom of this that I can think of is my oil pump. I always check my oil and water before taking the Z on the road and them both are always fine. But while driving every now and then, the stock oil guage would show really low readings. Now I have read here that the stock oil pressure guages are poo. So I did ignore it all this time but obviously, it was reading right. Just wanted to confirm th…

Well someone had say it:dance:...I thought I would ask here instead filling up the for sales with my questions Anyway how easy/hard are they to fit.

Does anyone have a trailer that could be used to transport my Strosek Z from Swindon to Manchester this weekend or Monday or Tuesday? I will obviously pay for this to be done. It is just a rolling shell so will need a winch to get it on. I am going to be travelling down to Swindon whenever this can be done. This is urgent and any help would be much appreciated.

Looking for the wiring diagram. further to my other post I have disconnected the razo turbo timer now my rqacelogic will not even pick up any rpm signal. so looking for the wiring for the Razo so I can trace back. There are 3 thick wires - Green Red & Blue which I presume go to the ignition somewhere. then 3 other wires (Black - Presume ground), Blue and thin red - the thin blue one is the wire that my racelogic is tapped into but when disconnecting the timer from the loop it loses the rpm signal? - Cant work it out as the thin blue wire is tapped into the ecu and the racelogic is still tapped into the blue even with the timer disconnected - Hop…
