Was surfing the Japanese net and found this......quite interesting and informative.....in a traiinspotting kind of way :-) http://www.zcar-owners.net/club/hikaku/us/zusvszjp.htm Mark

the o rings that go in between the two halves of the caliper appear to be literally impossible to get hold of, they dont come with the refurb kit from nissan and they dont come with the kit from ebay - you cant buy them seperatly from nissan or ebay and you cant use rubber 'doughnut' style o rings as they will perrish due to the corrosive nature of brake fluid..........sooooo iv been doing a massive amount of digging and iv found a place called 'manchester seals' that is willing to make 100 for £30.... well i want these seals but i dunno what im gonna do with the rest.......prefer to selll them on here if anyone knows where i can get them from please please let me kn…

Typically the one day I dont take my zed and I see another one going the smae way I am... Liked your exhausts. I was blue civic trying to get a closer look.

With the mods I'm looking at doing, wiseco pistons, eagle conrods, 555/740 injectors, gt28r tubs etc. I not sure what air filter setup to go for. Not sure when the MAF max's out? So would it be worth waiting till all the work is done set up etc and see if the MAF is holding it back or do you think I would need a doolz or a JWT duel intake? Could you run a single MAF on a JWT duel intake? If I went for this I would need to change the chip to supoort this too. I have tried researching and i'm getting a little confused? Any help would be great. Thanks, Ant

No i'm not taking over from StellaZ with pictures of my ass.... With the car having a respray i thought i'd take the oportunity to do some cosmestics that have been bugging me.... Namely the cracks around the Lights, they were blended in but not long after i go it back from spraying cracks started to show.... a case of bad blending i think, and has annoyed and bugged me since.... so today armed with my dremal and filler and sand paper i set to work..... Here what they looked like this morning.... I did take some of them grounded out but dunno what happened to them :confused: So heres some part filled and sanded.... …

I am thinking of buying an aftermarket induction kit for my Z, it is a manual twin turbo with bov`s installed. If I go for the two mushroom filter set-up what sort of difference to performance and sound will it make, if any? will the bov`s become louder? cheers, Dan

Hey all My car is finally back, serviced and fettled by Jeff at Zedworld. I have to say that it is now awesome and hugely fun to drive. It has never run or sounded so good. :nana2: I had made the mistake of thinking that it was too far to drive to Tamworth and so have taken it to a local garage for the last 2 years. They have cost me a lot of money and managed to make my car run like a dog and almost destroy the engine. :slap: It is now transformed care of Jeff and I will not be taking it to anyone else ever again! The service has been exceptional and you will not find better IMHO anywhere else. I cannot recommend Zedworld highly enough. A huge …

just got back on line at last been ages, looking forward to catching up:smash::hyper:

Hi All Anyone know where I can get some new screws for my steering wheel? one of mine is stripped and I'm going to have to drill it out. Cheers

Today i fitted a new thermostat and while doing so i noticed this: When i bypassed the hicas and relooped the pipe i must have moved it slightly towards the PS pump whoops, ive done a quick fix and cable tied it back. Close one hey :dance: Would of made a right ol mess down there. Its only cut through the outer protecting foam and into the rubber slightly, not made it to the core thank god. So i suppose anyone who has done they same just have a little check.

My suspension is good and firm, but the rubber covers on the shockabsorber are all to bits. Can this be a problem come MOT in April. Can they be replaced and where would I get them.

Red Zed G***TAG with hi spoiler spotted this morning going out of Truro. Was 2 cars behind for a few miles...but sadly not in the Zed :cry:

Had a phonecall from the engineering shop yesterday that went a little bit like this: "Mr Tandy?" "Is that Bob?" "It is, just ringing to say the heads and flywheel are all done" "What about the block?" "Umm i don't know how to tell you this but you know you wanted it overbored?" "Yup" "It was already overbored by 40thou" "Great so you don't need to do anything?" "Um nope it's scrap" "Huh?" "It's so badly scorched and scratched under the protective layer of grease you should just chuck it and get another block" "F*****SSSSHHH******TTT****" :headvswal So spent the rest of the afternoon desperately ringing ever…

When putting everything back together after changing my handbrake warning light bulb I think I wired the aftermarket switch for the rear fogs up wrong. Now the front fogs don't work either :headvswal I've wired the rear fog switch up correctly now and checked the foglight fuse but the front and rear fogs refuse to work. The fog relay doesn't click. The rear fog lights seem to take their power from the front fog switch. Any ideas what I might have done? Cheers, James

Having fitted the re-painted bumpers, washed the car and the sun coming out - went for a spin across the Black Mountains to Llandovery (Bikers Cafe) to meet up with an old friend. Almost forgotten how good it feels to straighten out all the twisty bits that Satan builds into the de-restricted sections of the Queens Highway!! It was awesome. On the downwards slope I happened across a Clio that was poodling along - til he saw the Zed filling his mirrrors. He then adopted the usual 'I'll show you stance' and was making a Dogs Breakfast of many bends - at one point he slowed and waved me past - but I didn't want to pass - it was too entertaining watching him …

hi guys so as some of you know my engine is not great and only got 90psi on cylinder 6 so how much would it cost for me to eaither fix the valve/s on cylinder 6 and or the piston rings if the bore is ok ?? id do the work my self just need the bits ?? her is a short video of the last engine i tottally rebuilt but its a ford engine so didnt cost me £3 million pound for parts like a zed does lol :)

Saw it come round Cemex roundabout and head down towards Newbold. Very quiet, I think it was a TT because I thought I could hear dump valves. Managed to get a pic off at the lights!
