hi chaps have another quick question figured out most of the controls and buttons on the starship enterprise lol ( 300zx):wack::wack: but am still clueless about 1 button ??? its like a slider button on the very front of the gear selector ,havnt the faintest idea what it does ??? im sure someone hear could tell me tho many thx :)

Does anyone have his new contact details in Mexborough or his e mail address. The web site address just returns mail. Thanks.

does anyone know witch headers are best for the n/a zed? i made the mistake of fitting some from xs tuning, passinger side went on fine but had to relocate the lamber cencer on the drivers side then found that it rubs on the steering coloum! :rant: i was thinking of fitting a pair of stillin units next time as the ones i found are ceramic coated but does any one know which ones would be the best? and is there a differance between left and rite hand drive? cheers guys

ive got a 1990 auto zed and the switch that allows you to move the gear selector when the break pedal is depressed keeps playing up an i can't select any gears..... could anyone tell me where the switch or connection is located. I suspect damp causing the problem. any help appreciated.:bow:

Just got my zed back today so could finally give it a good drive around :cool::hyper: On the down side, the car is far to noisy for my liking. At the moment it's got what looks like a K+N cone on the front and large single bore twin exhausts. The exhaust isn't rattling or anything its just bloody loud! Is there a quieter cone filter than a K+N? Also what exhaust back boxes would people recommend? It needs to be SS and I would prefer a quad over twin. Failing that, is there anything I can do to quieten the existing set up down? Cheers Dave

Does anybody do these anymore? If not can anybody point me in the direction of a guide

Just went to go out in the zed earlier and it's no longer starting at all. This is only about 1hr after having just driven it without any issues. Some of you might remember i change to a mines ecu a couple of months ago and i notice straight away that it took longer to start up, only 0.5 seconds or so but definitely noticeable. I go to start up and the starter kicks in but the engine doesn't fire into life at all. Not even a splutter or a murmur. Just the starter going at it. Anyway; I've checked the battery and even tried a known good one. No issues there, plenty of juice. external lights don't dim at all. Disconnected the fuse for all afterm…

I would just like to wish every member of this Club and their Families, A Very Happy Christmas, & And a Prosperous New Year.

Passed you just before the bridge in Bramford Saturday morning, not one I have seen before in this area :cool:

Not been around for a while cos I've been mega busy so hi and a Merry Christmas to you all :) Now - does anyone know anywhere where I can get tyres fitted for a reasonable price around the Bedford area? I had a word at my local garage the other day and he was talking about £17 each... I thought that was a bit high and after reading another post that said to expect about a tenner each, I suppose I was right. Cheers!

Hope this isnt a repost.. This seems cheap: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/825363.htm Though I would be worried about a) lack of service history/MOTs and b) lack of pictures Thoughts?

I have done all the usual removals AIV, EGR, Black canister, Cruise, (ECU is still in the car though, any idea where it is I'll get rid of it), flywheel, suspension, wheels. AC is still in as is interior and standard seats. Is there anything else I can look at getting rid of? Targas? Bonnet? go carbon? plastic wings? rear hatch - can you get a plastic or carbon for a 2+2 spare wheel and tools? Cheers

Well seems that I am only hitting about 6psi on full throttle now. So looks like a visit to Zedworld in the new year. I think I may have a leak somewhere :( is there any really obvious places to check ?

There used to be five of us living within a 1 mile radius and then there was only me. Now there is a stock silver JDM TT parked in a side street just off Toms Town Lane in Studley, Warwickshire (around the corner from me). I haven't seen an owner but it has been there every day for the past two months now. Come on, fess up ... who is it? Dan

Due to the the heater matrix in my car needs replacing which i only brought the car on tursday last week i am going to have to sell the car as i dont have the time nor the expertise to do the job and worst part is the wife nagging me and blaming me. i would just like to say i thank you for all the advice you people have given me over the last few days but it is a too big of job for me to do and i need a car that has heating as i have a sick baby. Maybe you will see me again when i can pick up a mint 300zx TT.

What a great thing to happen 2 days before christmas eh. It was parked out on the road in newcastle. It had a pretty dam tough disk lock on it so i think its physically been lifted and put in a van or something :mad: Going to try the shop down the bottom of the street as he has cameras out side of it. There is also a dude half way down that has one looking out of his window at his car. might be able to track down a reg number for Vans big enough if any of them were on and work. Past that i don't really know what to do like:cry::cry::cry:

Hello guys, I currently have an old Power Flow Exhaust (2x4 outlet) and whilst it looks ok it is really boomy on long journeys and it is begining to get on my nerves, I want to replace the system and de cat as well ((1990) with newish tubs), but I wanted advice on what people would recomend I want a 2x4 pipe outlet, and whilst I don't mind it grumbling a little i really don't want a loud chavtastic Southend Nova system, on my old Integra Type R DC 5 I had a lovely buddy club one that was really nice an quiet, any ideas? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Story so Far My car has killed Three auto boxes, set…

Well I've got another question :D Had a auto to manual conversion done a few years back. When pulling the rad I come across these pipes attached to the rad, the other ends were just loose. Am I able to bin these and just block the holes on the rad some how or are they still needed? Hoping to get the rad from ash sorted soon so won't be needing this one but wanted to check anyway, just incase I have to put it back for any reason. Thanks, Ant
