i just wanted to know how easy it would be to take the gear box out and change the clutch myself as i dont want to pay out £300 plus if i can do it myself. im going to get a manual and the parts and there will be 3 of us doing it all with decent mechaical skills is this an easy job cheers:nana2:

am almost there with my little indicator mod, just waiting to pick up some bits from joelyp. :hyper::hyper: thought i would put them in to see what you all think. had issues with the original indicator hitting the new godspeed smic's, so i went down this road......i will paint the screws black and countersink them. al. :)

b****r! well my clutch problem are slowly getting worse. it started with a very saggy clutch pedal, which, after numerous attempts to bleed it have only slightly improved the clutch feel but not cured the problem. the other week, it started slipping in fifth gear, then 4th gear, and on my way home from work last night it has now started to slip in third gear. This couldn't have happened at a worse time as im nearly skint and need my car for transport 2 and from work (32 mile round trip). i've seen all the hype about the cheap "exedy" clutches on fleabay, but are they really that bad? my car is almost totally standard apart from a stainless exhaust, airfilter and AFC thing…

was that you park in garage in seven sisters road willingdon today? if so looks like nice car:shock:

Also what is the maximum boost pressure I go up to safely with this spec engine Full rebuild by jimmer with Wiseco's Cometic H/G 740cc injectors T70 turbo

Just fitted my Navan steering wheel this morning, and it looks cool. Is Navan, Nissan aftermarket? just wondered as the main body of the wheel has Nissan stamped on it? Thanks Zedworld :)

:headvswalI have a problem where the Air con, power mirrors, wipers,cig lighter etc have no power. I have checked all fuses and have found there to be no power entering the above fuses inside the drivers compartment. Where does this power come from and how can I find its source??? Preferably without having to rip everything out to do so. If I apply a positive lead to the wipers fuse (from the front)the wipers work. I assume the same will ocur for the rest.

nowt to do wi me, but there is someone selling a fooked zed in essex, and its got a set of modenas on it :cool:

hey people, am looking to get my 300 in for the dredded mot this weekend, and the only issue i have is the front indicators. am in the process of installing led front repeaters. have posted here before about how to wire the little blighters up and got good response from fellow members with the answer being, just leave the original indicator inline. anyway, went to the shed to get the old bulb holders and...... can i find 'em!!! no!! so, has anyone in the suffolk/norfollk area got a set of front indicator bulb holders they do not need?? am looking to try and fit my repeaters tomorrow (saturday). al.

Evening, I began stripping out my Z boot trim today to replace the rear shock struts and was surprised to find an electrical actuator sat on top of each shock. Looking in the manual and comparing to my car though, I dont have the suspension adjustment control on the centre console. My question to the Z gurus is was this normal fit for a UK, manual, twin turbo ,1994 ? I cant understand how the equipment would be fitted but not the control panel? Does anyone know?

what is the second bleed nipple for by the hicas bit under the bonnet and why would i need to bleed that for the clutch? cheers

Hi all, Seeing its now been well over a year since I had my Zed I think I need to get this out of my parents garage! Its in nice condition and the paint is still nice and bright. There is a small pin dent near the front but otherwise a very nice bonnet. If someone wants to collect it from my parents house in Salisbury then they can have it! Can send pics if you want. Anyone?

Hey guys I bought an ebay short shifter I think it was 2 fast 2 cool. Anyhow. Its shorter but not that much shorter. Whats the shortest short shifter you know? Cheers Ron

Was under my car the other day and noticed that the front and bottom of the engine looked quite wet with oil, the engine has not long been built and put in, I will get Zedworld to have a look next thursday whilst getting my ebc installed, any ideas what it could be? If its going to be a big job, the garage who did the work on it will be sorting it out for me.

Hi there everyone, Was overtaking earlier and as I put my foot down a bit more to pass I lost power for a moment like a rev limiter kicked in. I came off the power and it went back to normal straight away. This has happened twice this week, both times exactly the same. It kicks in about +7 psi boost. I know safety boost cuts in at +7 but mine dont do it all the time. Haven't noticed anything else wrong. Car is a 1991 UK TT manual. Any help would be awesome. Many thanks, Rob

I started my car and drove it today for the first time in 4 weeks, the engine started on the button and drove perfectly straight away, jeff at zedworld will be fitting my ebc next week and sorting out any niggly problems with it, I cant wait.

hi my tailgate closes fine, but when it is closed it can still be lifted slightly. is this common on zeds? can i tighten it down so that it doesnt move? it wont open when its closed so the catch is working fine but it lets damp in where its loose! when its closed i can hold the corner of the tailgate and lift it about 1 inch! any help or advice would be great thax mark :headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal
