Saw a silver one parked outside Farm Foods in Hereford, when I was driving through yesterday evening.

Hello everyone and thank you for the friendly newbie welcome, have spent most of the last three days reading up on my hopefully impending new zed purchase, have narrowed my search, so far the only "must have's" are 1. import not uk (rust issues) 2. twin turbo manual as my daily drive is a mk3 ls400 so a comfortable/relaxing car is allready taken care of, spoke to a nice guy who was very helpfull at zedworld tamworth, just amazed they dont do sales as well, as ever all advice/help greatly apreciated.

car is now abandoned for the night in my mates street after my passenger side tension rod snapped in 2. the bush was solid on it so going to need a new pair, any suggestions where is best to get a good set and a rough price?

My zed at the moment has a bespoke exhaust on it (I think) but the middle section of the exhaust is completely rotten. I've seen exhaust middle sections for sale on the zcentre website for £135 exc. VAT and was wondering if anyone on here had had them made bespoke or has got them from somewhere eles for anything less than that? I don't know if I'm missing how much work is involved in creating these but £135 + VAT seems a bit steep for basically two pipes :) Also a bit worried that I'm going to spend that much money on a middle section and then have to pay more to have it modified to fit the bespoke rear section. Any advice appreciated, Vern

In a few days i will be fitting a HDI boost controller, i have fitted them before but only on single turbo cars. On a twin turbo, should i just connect both the wastegate pipes together with a T-joint then to the new boost solenoid? Obviously the same for the outlet too. What do i do with the factory boost solenoid connections? leave them in situ?

basically as some of you know my heater matrix exploded coupla days ago - a new one is on its way but for the time being i was told you can bypass it to get you back on the road and so after a phone call to uno (cheers mate:) ) and a trip to my local parts dept i had everything i needed to do the job - was quite simple, located the two pipes that ran out of the block removed the matrix hoses and replaced it with a loop of 19mm coolant pipe! awsom!! pics new pipe in place top left before i tucked it away around the break fluid holder close up on the new pipes in place!! its running a little warm for some reason with this pipe in - it…

I have had a few good audio set-ups in my previous cars but am toying with a new idea. Instead of the usual couple of amps, big sud and comp speakers I have a Altec Lansing 4.1 THX cert system in my attic, this has the built in processer so a single stereo feed can be converted to Prologic, Quad, Digital surround and so on, that I am going to retrofit into the car, the cool thing is that it produces an excellent balance of sound with no distortion. Just waiting for some bits to come through the post before I can get started, sounds a bit odd but what this space, I am going to try and fit this in and keep the stock look (apart from the Sub and processor but this …

Hi I want to remove the front speakers, can I get them out without taking the door card off? The grills seem to be pretty well held in place, I just want to remove the grill and speaker to chaeck for space for a new audio project I am playing with. :hyper:

Heya all, loving the Z but just come across my first problem with it. wondering if you can help :) Driving home tonight and the dash lights and headlights started to flicker a lot, then the full beam icon came on the dash board and about 10 seconds later my headlights went to full beam. They now seem to be permanently full beam as the stalk wont switch them off (even though i didnt switch them on in the first place). Is this an cheap and easy to fix common problem (fingers crossed tightly)? Seems like something has maybe shorted out or is no longer earthing but i dont know where to begin to look!

Hey people, I've been searching to find answers to a weird issue I'm having with my autobox but can't seem to have any luck. Basically, everytime I start the car up the first time during a day and when I set to move off slowly and come to a stop, the car pops out of gear and then goes back into it. It only does this at first when I'm just moving off slowly and then stopping. Once I hit the road a drive a little once its in gear again, its fine then. Any ideas what this might be?? Thanks.:)

hi, i have just bought a 300 tt which came with a reciept for 1700 quid from zedworld for a new engine, belts etc. all this work was done only 5000 miles ago but just over a year ago. could anyone tell me when it will need to go back for a "check up". to be truthful i know very little about these great cars, as i have had rs's for the past 1 years. don't even know when service schedule's are! could anyone help please. thanks in advance.

Im still doing all my own mods, this in the most recent one, As we all know the headlight adjusters on the zeds are pants, having seen other threads re how to fix, this is my input The main adjusters are plastic and usually have snapped, making it hard to adjust the lights These are my driving lights adjusters, there are 2 adjusters to control up/down and left/right on each light, firstly remove the 2 screws to access the diff gears Once removed, using a flat blade screwdriver, prise the diff gear off both the light and the one in the plastic housing where the 2 screws were. Using this kit, a Tamiya r/c diff kit item number 50602, using the two large…

so my heater matrix exploded so naturally i buy a nismo gear knob to fix the problem! lol!! looks great (now) but i couldnt get the old knob of (ohh err) so i hacked at it with a stanley blade.... anyway this is what was left - looks like the governor of california to me!!! lol!!! looks cool imo!! FOR SALE 20 QUID!!! LOL!! new one looks much better!! terrible pic - ill put up better tomorrow - gonna tackle the matrix bypass now!! wish me luck!! (was thinking of just no pics - doing a 'navan steering wheel fitted' post lol!)

Does the zed have a steering height adjustment, mine is very low.

Can anyone recomend a good tappet treatment, my tappets are loud as fluff at the moment sinse ive changed the oil, or would a thicker oil be better, cheers.

heya, got a 300zx z32 twin turbo, just fitted a new adi boost guage/boost controller. was wondering if anyone has any idea how to fit it to control the turbos as ive only so far managed to use it as a gauge. also......once its rigged up, can i up the boost at all without doing any other modifications. please advise me oh mighty fairlady-ers!!!

I gave the outside of the Zed a wash today and decided I'd have a go at the inside. Then I decided to check first to see what would come recommended from members on here. So guys what would you use for cleaning the dash and interior panels? Is there any specialist product out there for refreshing the interior of the zed?

It says... MAGNUM O2 Sensor Simulator is an indispensable tuning device on engines where catalytic converter was removed or exhaust was modified (headers). Decatting indicates polluted exhaust gas to the ECU, therefore check engine light will pop up, resulting ECU limp mode and reduced performance at the wheels. O2 Sensor Simulator is a plug-in replacement wired up to post oxygen sensor harness. It supplies the ECU with perfect voltage signal and tricks the ECU thinking the emission is normal. With MAGNUM O2 Sensor Simulator you will get rid of suffering O2 sensor's catalyst efficiency error code, accordingly you can restore the lost power resulted by ECU safe mode …
