Still got this headlight problem (been about 3 months now)! dim on one side, bright on the other! fuses are fine, relays seem fine, however when you pull out one of the relays all the lights go out, but if u pull out the other one they dont go out, does that mean no power is reaching it???? dunno if this makes sense, kinda hard to explain it all in words! getting to the point where ive had enough now and considering my future with the zed! :mad:

I've been reading alot about relocating the dett. sensor, as i have done mine, but still keep getting 34. Anyways, almost every write up seems to have a sentence similar to this, eg. 'contrary to popular belief, and the nissan manual, the dett. sensor only uses one wire, the other is said to be a ground, but it is not'. Right, if that is the case, then how is it possible to bypass it using a 1 meg resistor, as it would only be connected to one side of it, and the other going to nothingness (?) Just wondering if anyone can clear this up for me, and to tell me (pic would be lovely) which pins from the ECU (not the sub-harness) go to which pins on the dett. sensor,…

Looking to find out if the perspex strip on the boot is the same size for both UK and jap. Just i have gone and ordered the perspex strip from a nissan dealership using the code 26590-49P00, the one without the brakelight. As i have ajap import i was just wondering if they are the all the same size.

As the headline says - does wide wheel width in the rear have any negative effects on the drivetrain when it is combined with increased power? Just a question that I have been wondering about. A follow on question would be in relation to the whole set up in the rear regarding the geometry. If I had a 305 tyre or wider for example, would the setup require much adjustment? My medium term plan is increase the BHP and create a wide bodied SWB with large rear wheels. I wouldn't do the last part if it could result in potential problems in the drivetrain.

please help me my nissan 300zx tt 93 series 2 ,will not idle for the first minute of running when warmed up runs spot on although the idle is a touch low i think at about 650 rpm , i have changed the temp sensor maid no difference please help

ive had my twin turbo for about 2 months now, its been absolutely perfect, will heat up in next to no time, hot air will come out and thats it now then last week i headed off out for a burn and i got to a lenghty bit of road and after tha car had already warmed up (so needle is halfway) i dropped it into 4th gear and planted my foot, i then noticed as soon as my foot was down boost gauge went round, then the temp guage went right down, literally like quater of the way down. But i hadnt actually moved much more further for it to possibly cool itself down and not that quickly. It cooled itself down as quickly as it boosted up, so i backed off and as soon as i bac…

hi just wondering why my standerd car boost gauge has got -7 to +7 when every other one has got -14 to +14

Hi all. Can anybody let me know what size the copper washer is on the sump drain plug please? i havent got a nissan garage local to me:cry: I've got a nissan oil filter off the net but no copper washer! Thanks :D

My main concern about switching from my Scoob into a drool worthy Zed is fuel economy. I dont get paid THAT much so would have to look into this. I currently get about 31/32 mpg from my scoob. I'm a VERY conservative driver with a light right foot. Most of my driving is A/B roads when commuting to work, as I dont go out much apart from that. I'm not looking for "on your bike, son" kind of comments as to obtaining that kind of MPG, but still.... Try me, if you become very conservative, what can you get out of them? I'd be interested to hear the comparisons between the nasp and TT models Tim

ive done lots of work by myself (and help from my dad) on my zed, from fitting new sills to simply changing a radiator, i wish i had took some pics and put some how to do threads up, ive done some things that people may want to do themselves like-changing rear inner and outer balljoints the easy way, changing a radiator support bracket the easy way, doing my hicas eliminator bar and being able to sort out the pipework easily when i was given wrong bits (no ones fault), would have been good to help others out but as im planning on getting rid of the car, im hoping nothing else major needs doing, it shouldnt ive done it all lol anyone doing anything should do some…

what a guy, bought a rad from him and it came within two days of saying i would have it, he even sent it before i paid him, makes this place well worthwhile being subscribed to with people like richard on here many thanks bud, much appreciated, will post cheque in morn Allan

HI, How do I empty my fuel tank? I thought about simply putting a hose in the tanks and doing it the old school way but I dont want a mouth full of fuel so are there any alternatives? I tried to locatre my fuel return line but got confused has anyone got a picture of which one it is as theis is prob the safest way.....

As above, many thanks pete for such an easy transaction,:bow: got my shiny bits:dance: Top man. Cheers Graham

just fitted lightend pulley which is smaller does anyone know the belt sizes needed thanks

I was looking for forumulas to equate mass reduction from the drivetrain to power response. While I was doing so I came across this article on Lightening Flywheels which I think is very good. Some may find it interesting. Its copyrighted so I can't copy it in, but click on the link below. Regards, C. http://www.pumaracing.co.uk/FLYWHEEL.htm

Just thought i'd put some pics of the progress of my Zed!! http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/jonce956/P1080024.jpg[/img]"]

Hi Buddies, Ive developed a quite loud whirring noise which seems to be coming from around the A/C Compressor. It doesn't change if A/C is on or off, but does go up and down in pitch with engine revs.Cant see anything else nearby that could cause it.I know its a long shot when you cant hear it yourselves, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Sounds a little bit like when we used to put a bit of cardboard through pushbike spokes to sound like a motorbike.:D Thanks Guys.:bow:

Some post up, reply to others, get involved, try to get on meets, find and do things that we all benefit from and these are the folks who make it what it is. I like it........ Stu

when I plug in my dipped beam HID lamp on the passenger side both main beams come on but very low (about 5-10w of power) minute I disconnect HID all is ok - HID not coming on either that side - due to it being bloody freezin out and not being able to feel my fingers I cant swap test ballasts as they are not in an accessible poosition and at moment cant test if 12v is coming out to lamp coz I have left multimeter at work - didnt know if anyone else had ever had this.

Registered User's Cannot Sell, even enquiring on How much it's worth is classed as back door selling sorry. if you want an idea of how much Zed's are going for then check the FOR SALE section. Sorry.

As most of you will now be aware, Ossain posted a couple of days ago, regarding the sad loss of one of our long standing members of the club. For those who haven't yet seen the thread, here is a copy of Ossian's initial post
