It's that time of year again when thinking about an LPG conversion. I have a Jap TT 300ZX Auto. It's reasonable on fuel for what it is. However, wondering if someone has taken the plunge and done an LPG conversion? I would insist the fuel tank be made to fit where the spare wheel goes so as to appear as normal as poss though.

Hi Dave, was trying to reply to your add about the spoiler but for some reason i cant. I'm interested if can you post it to Northern Ireland? Is there any chance you accept £80 including postage? Cheers

zed worlds phone number please

Soon looking to replace my tyres, running Bridgestone Grid 11's, which I like,seem a good alrounder, could we have a vote on which tyre is best ?? :hyper:

Was just wndering how much a knackered engin goes for... something like a head gasket faiure, or piston damage, something ripe from stripping and reubuilding..... Any ideas?? Cheerz Neil

Here you go bud.... Took the pictures that you requested.... HTH bud Neil

I've got AP Racing CP5200 Brakes and 330mm AP discs on my Vectra. Would it be possible for these brakes to be fitted to my zed, either straight on or via a bracket? Reason I ask is they are worth about 1K and I'm selling the vectra soon. Here's a link to the AP Racing site about them; http://www.apracing.com/info/products.asp?product=Vectra+-+Front+4+Piston+Kit+CP5200-1027_1718_1062 Not really expecting it to be easy..lol

Hi all, The warning light on dashboard is showing all doors open,when in fact they are all closed, plus the overhead map reading light and the interior boot light is not working. Would it be a fuse or fuses? Its a Jap spec so problem with language. Does anyone know what fuse or fuses it could be? Cheerz Chris:headvswal:headvswal

Hey all, Need a new backbox as one of mine has a hole in it and i figured i may as well get a whole new catback system. Im not bothered about performance gains im just after a nice sound really. Been looking at the japspeed one (available for around £300) and was wondering if it was any good sound wise? the only other one i can find is the mongoose one but people dont seem to recommend mongoose really. Any suggestions or linkys would be appreciated :)

Hello, I fitted an electronic boost controller today but forgot to disconnect the standard boost solenoid connectors, doh! I drove the car trying to set it up and got all kinds of crazy readings. I went home and realised what i had done and disconnected both connectors. But now im getting 7-7.5psi only. Any ideas? And chance i could have set of the knock sensor when i was getting crazy boost? Would a knock sensor issue allow safety boost with a boost controller fitted?

seen a grey zx in maxwells car in peterlee....jst wonderin who it was as it had sum very smart wheels on n wudnt mind a set similar

HI Buddy How you doing fella? The last time I saw you I asked you where you got your blue vacume pipes from. Can you please tell me again as I have lost the details Cheerz Chris.

As above, silver zed on The Avenue heading towards Winchester Road Roundabout from the M3 direction @ about 8:15am ...... :nana2: Anyone? :)

As above, Black Zed today on the M40 @ 15:40ish northbound just after Warwick services..... had 99 spec rear light thingys ....... anyone on here?

Cheers Jamie - Top man - disconnecting the afm seemed to temp sort the problem. funny coz I only posted yesterday about disconnecting afm. Missed what you said tho bout air metering - Will car be safe to drive for a 100mile journey like this? It would seem one of my pipes has blown off (under boost going up a hill I lost all power), this was followed by running like an absolute dog and backfiring like a machine gun, not really going above 3K. After disconnecting the afm it seems smoother upto 2500 now so I can use it to drive down. Would like to find the pipe thats blown off though - checjked the 4 boost pipes, both turbo elbows - thats about as far as I ca…

Im with Sky insurance at the moment paying £800 a year, im 24 with 5 years no claims, they want to know what I would value my car at, I have spent nearly £14k including the car, I have just give them a list of my mods which were done recently and am awaiting a phone call back, im dreading it.

My coil-over arrived today:dance::dance::dance::dance: How can a check they are ok, without putting them on the car as I am gonna wait a few months before fitting. also is there a way of checking their straight also the front springs say h080-ajc and the back says G060-amc What are these like??

Hi, I have had my zed under hybernation for a couple of months and wonder what to check. I usually start it up and idle for about 20mins mostly two times a month but didn't drove it for 3 months. Had a quick spin to get fuel a couple of days ago and drove it to work today. Feells a little different, nothing wrong but just not quite the same. So just wondering what to check? Oh, I checked coolent and oil levels... Any maintanence that I should do? :rolleyes:

hi all couple of quick questions about them, do their seal kits (both front & rear) include replacement orings if you split the calipers in half? I can see they do front caliper pistons but anyone know if they do pistons for the rears? Anyone had their calipers refurbed by them recently? I done a search here and have seen prices saying around £120 to do a pair of rear calipers. Thinking about it thats crazy because if i do it then - 4xpiston say £60 + seal kit £20 + paint £20 =£100 and I still have to do all the work!??? Maybe I should phone them about that I guess.

Ordered some parts yesterday afternoon and they were delivered today. Great service from Dan (as always). Many Thanks

Hi all, my wife and i are expecting a baby in the next few months and as much as my heart tells me to keep the Zed my head tells me otherwise. So i've made the desicion to sell it, but i'm not sure how much to put it up for? I know prices are fairly depressed at the momment and the usual answer to the post title is ' what someone will pay for it'. I thought £1500, what do you think?
