Hi, Time to put my headlights back together and just wondered what you have used to seal the unit back up? Can the original mastic be bought from anywhere as I quite like the idea of opening them back up if need be. Cheers Vijay

Cant believe i cant drive my beast, decided to let my dad take me out in it just so that the car is still getting used, I took the roofs off as it was a nice day, he was like a kid with a new toy lol, once warmed up i told him to just plant his foot to the floor, we were in 3rd at the time, OMFG, felt like we were going to take off, feels mental in the passenger side, my dad is used to his 1.6 cavalier, he told me he was scared of it and it diddnt feel right driving it. Its only running 14psi at the momment, cant wait for the ebc to be fitted and the boost to be raised to 19psi, its going to be rapid, Jeff at zedworld will also be giving it a good going over, cant wait.

evening all,just a couple of questions of a tech nature i am going to be doing an oil change on the motor,is there any differance between a j-spec oil filter and a uk one? also was planning to use a genuine nissan item but my local dealership aint to interested in my motor cos its an import any ideas? also want to change the fuel filter & spark plugs whats the best make ?

I'm in the process of breaking my zed and found this black box under the centre console next to the handbrake. I can't find any ref to it in the service manuals. Does anybody know what it is? I don't want to just rip it out until I know what it does. The blue arrow points to where the braided cable is going. Since I've never stripped a car and i'm not a mechanic, there will no doubt be loads of these threads coming soon! :wack: Cheers as always :D Dave

Did anyone from the other site who is on here buy a Front Bumper off oldgit as I have the head light panel for it?

This is a real job done recently by,( unamed Z garage ) take a guess at what it would cost for the entire job, guess how long the egr removal was booked as too. No random figures, work it out, what would need removing what would overlap between jobs etc. and see what you think, oh and why it will not rev properly. Fit 24 x USED hydrolic lifters ( previous ones very noisy ) Remove / by pass EGR valve 60k service Work done with full payment up front, NO receipt given and running worse than when it went in.

How much labour and parts can £7k buy you these days? Huge turbo`s bigger intercoolers, Stand alone custom ecu, 750 injectors, decat stainless exhausts, rolling road set up. Good deal ? .................................... depends on how its all nailed together. Lets see... Mixed up vacuum pipes, loose pipes, missing pipes. Boost leaks due to intercooler pipe clips not tightened Banging exhausts due to missing brackets Bumper fog lights not working due to NOT been connected Non starter due to bodged starter motor connection Worse of all from a safety point of view, hard and notchy steering due to tur…

Can anyone recommend the best oil to use in my uk tt?

Guy.... I bought a twin chip ECU about a year ago from a member on here it's got a JWT chip and a C2O chip........ it's been sitting in my garage and with the car off the road thought i'd take the time to fit it.... So today i went and lifted the board and took out the ECU, to my surprise the ECU i have removed has IMPUL all over it... Now i fitted the JWT chip and it all starts fine.... sounded alot beefier as well, but...well i am unsure as to which is best for the car..... it's pretty standard apart from A zorst some boost jets and an induction kit... as far as i'm aware there are not engine mod's..... And whats the other ECU worth? as it'll b…

Quite a while ago I produced and posted a Fog Lamp FAQ in the FAQ section. Does anyone know where it's gone? Any links that I have posted no longer go anywhere. Does anyone know if it's been removed for a specific reason? If so why? I was under the impression that it was usefull to the members on here :confused: Dave

Hi War is breaking out! I get a low to mid level air siren noise from the back of my Zed (behind drivers seat about under the boot area) - 1996 TT ZX300 and 64,000 miles on the clock. Is this a turbo on the way out or (hopefully) something not as serious? Cheers Del

How much 'at a guess' to have one of these fitted?

Car just failed its test! Only one front fog working but bulbs ok, are the fogs on separate fuses? Cheers

Hi All, Does anyone know when the injector connectors were changed. I have a chance of an old style set but I'm not sure if they will fit my car (1992 UK TT). I believe they changed on the series 2 maybe?. Cheers.

I've finally got around to fitting my 18's after many many months contemplating selling my Zed. Not the greatest wheels in the world but for the price i got them for brand new i couldn't resist :) So the Modex 17's are off and on Ebay and i'm pretty happy with the look. Next on the list is black wing mirrors, different spoiler (i fancy the kaminari) and complete the cream leather interior.

I remember a post from a while back where someone had replaced their JDM foglights with crystal clear modern fog/driving lights. I was talking about this the other day and have since tried to find pics of them, or find the make and model of the lights used - but can't find them anywhere. Anyone know what lights were used and got any pics of them fitted?
