In Aldi from 1st March at £6.99, has a picture of a 300zx on the bag which is a bit random but nice to complete a tidy car. http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2867_8992.htm

Hi all, Just thought I would post some pics of my Zed after it being in such a sorry state for so long. I have loads left to do still but since putting a few panels and the bumper on its sparked some enthusiasm to keep plodding along and finaly get her finished. Im still having major issues with the engine as these GD manifolds and turbos look like they are going to cause more hassel than its worth :mac1: Any advice on the problems is welcome cheers! My mate tommy who had been tango'd trying to tackle the turbo problem.

And would like to say a big thank you to all the menbers of this club that always ware there to help me with the problems im having with my zed :bow::bow::bow: now if you remember my extensive list.. the only thing left to sort out is the oil leaks in the sumps and the at check light rest is all done:cool: so nearly there.. and again thanks to everyone :hyper:

The zed has been running on 5 for a couple of days on and off so i contacted a zed guru, he gave me step by step instructions of what to do. Check coil packs and all seem fine. Clean contacts on PTU and now it wont start, its turning over but wont fire,,,,,,what do i do??? the only thing i can think of is i've damaged something when cleaning the PTU. Cheers, Chris

I decided to take the targas off yesterday. Absolutely loved it, so nice to be in the fresh air while being (surprisingly effectively) kept warm by the heater. The only thing was though, it's such a faff and takes so long to get the panels in the bags and then strapped down! I was wondering (as above) if anyone has devised anything to make it the process quicker? I haven't given it any detailed thought yet, but I can imagine some sort of clip system on the boot floor, possibly that can fold down under the boot floor when not in use, that would literally allow you to just 'slot' the panels in and hold them in place, and then away you go! I'm going to have a think abo…

Hey all went to Zedworld to drop my car off so hello to all the car owners whos cars I saw some very good looking cars there

is there a guide with pictures anywhere, i know people keep saying passenger foot plate and run up suspension leg, but i need pics, anybody got any???

Well it did today to me. I spent 2 hours polishing the car including metal polishing the wheels and spraying the tyres and the Zed looked superb. Got showered and changed and went for a day out of glorious zedding. 300 yards from home some old dear pulled straight out in front of me. Booooosh, I'm into a 54 plate Focus. I know its serious because my bonnet is now bent up in the middle. I am stunned........but not as much as the old dear, she was not even looking my way when she pulled out. Some other motorist flashed her to come out and she did, without looking my way. She was in total shock. What can you do in those circumstamces, certainly not have a rant. Her husband, …

Hi guys, i took my car in for MOT yesterday to find that when i went to pick the car up that it had passed :D But he gave me an advisory notice saying that the front nearside strut had a slight leak :( Anyway ive been scouring the net all night trying to find either new struts or new suspension kit. Ive found kits mainly in the USA but struggled to find suppliers here in the uk. So if anyone can give an ideas or help to where i can get these from i would be most grateful. I currently have bilstein's on and would possibly like these again but am open to any suggestions. Thanks guy.

anyone got or know of any links regarding intake temp gauges..my idea is to mount them on the upper boost pipes just before the t/ bodies

spotted you heading towards junction 14 of m1 from newport pagnell

I've got water in the passenger footwell of my new zed, it doesn't smell of anything so I'm thinking it's the targa drain that's blocked and not the a/c. Problem is I can't find the fecking thing!!! Spent ages today in my other breaker zed trying to find it but no joy. Can some tell me where it is as I can't afford to lose any more hair!

Another pic from yesterdays weight saving stripping...... Took about 90 mins including taking off the front bumper..... Just working my way though Robo's site lol....... http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/137858.html What to do next........hmmmmmm.... Cheerz Neil

Hi! Well, I have another...problem...:nana2: Today when I have arrived to my home, I touch the engine and....SURPRICE... Left side is cold (FRIO in Spanish...), and the other side Hot Hot...(CALIENTE in spanish): What do you thing about this?...I think that the problem will be the Intercooler because the hot is over these pipes... My Zed is decat (not problem with hot from a broken catalytic). I hace stock SMIC. Thanks

Would you know it, I was stood in traffic and a nose of a black Zed appeared :hyper: I let you out and we had a mini convoy down Silver street (or that is what I think it is called). Really nice sounding Zorst :cool:

Hi Guys, I've just change one of power steering hoses over and will soon be filling the system up again. Any guidance on bleeding system would be appreciated....... Cheers.....:)

Need a little part made.

Just got my car back from Zedworld after having a reasonable amount of work done. I have to say that they very much live up to the reputation they seem to have gained on here - they're obviously very knowledgeable when it come to the cars, and their customer service is absolutely first class. And on top of that they all seem to just be really genuine nice people (as opposed to 'nice' in a salesman sort of way). I highly recommend them.

Hi there, i have a set of Impul RS split rims on my Zed and i can't tell if they are 2-piece or 3-piece rims. I've tried Googling them but can't find any info. on them. I need to know as my local wheel refurbishers (BJV Engineering) can do 2-piece but not 3-piece. Does anybody have any info on them? Cheers, Mark

A blue zed registration N277 *** or N227 *** passed me this morning on Central Avenue in Billingham, heading towards Haverton Hill around 7.45am. Anyone on here?.

I've got an original Nissan Stereo and single slot Nissan CD player in my new zed. Are they worth anything? Reason I ask is that the original stereo out of a vectra goes for stupid money! Don't know if I'm going to sell yet tho' Cheers dave

Where is the ABS actuator front and ABS actuator rear bleed nipples on a swb?

My clutch has started slipping at the top end of 4th and 5th, Im looking at the rps clutch as a kit but need to get some pennys for it, as a bit of a quick fix can i replace just the plate, as the cover and bearing are good as gold. If by using the oem plate and bearing, but only upgrading the pressure plate to say a different manuf, will this work???? Advice please Stu
