Hi folks. Lost the thread i had on how to upload a picture of my zed, any help?

Ok here we go. Iam looking to get my Zed to 500bhp. So i need some help here. Blitz induction kit done. Free flowing system done.

Spotted pretty standard black L reg on the M3 near Basingstoke. Got stuck in traffic next to you between Basingstoke and Winchester. Tinted windows so I couldn't see the driver.

Hopefully fitting them tomorrow and starting up if nothing fouls with them or needs modded to get them in. As ever, quality of Leon's work is outstanding :D

Can somebody let me know where the windscreen wiper motor is located? I cannot seem to find it in the engine bay area. Its probably infront of my eyes, but just cant see it. Cheers, Colm

Hi there Guys/Girls Need to replace my handbrake gaitor but cant get the trim off, is it a known pain in the ass or am i being a bit thick? Any help would be handy. Many thanks, Rob :bow::duffer::duffer::duffer::bow:

Hi folks. Looking to see about getting some gauges for the din slot, boost pressure, oil pressure needed in them, anyone got any? cheers

You can see i'm new to this car, how does the switch work i.e. what does it do ?

As you are more than aware, iv had nothing but issues since I bought this Z. After it was driven home on a low loader last night after the misfire became that bad the engine died and would not even fire up again. I mangaed to get it ticking over this morn with use of a gallon of WD40 all over the coil pack connectors but its still missing. I noticed that steam (condensation) was coming out of one of my exhausts a hell of a lot more than the other wich would lead me to believe the issue is the left side of the block. Would removing the coil packs and wd40 ing them help as moisture could have got deep inside them or are we thinking its more likely inter…

OBX Black TOMCAT shifter,same as a RAZO,good quality,easy to fit,nice carbon effect with just a chrome top,suites my Z interior nicely. £45 deliverd from the US:cool:

Having purchase a Shogin LWB 3.2 DID Elegance 10 months ago for £15000, I finally traded it in for £9300. That's an expensive 10 months! The value it was losing (approx £770 per month according to car mags), fuel prices and this government conjuring up new car tax bands (£450 per year ) made it not worth holding on to. Had hoped to keep this for a few years but I gave £3000and the shogun for a VW Golf TDI 140 Sport with all the works. 2006 with 1 owner and just 30,000 miles. Had her two weeks and the onboard fuel computer says I am getting an average of 58.2 mpg. Wow - will get my money back in no time with this little thing.... and it goes like hell for a turbo dies…

im a big fan of the original shape, but im really liking this a lot too : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240Z-Datsun-240z-S30-Race-Nissan-custom-260z-280z-z-car_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a543Q7c39Q3a1Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c240Q3a1308QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem300268980690QQitemZ300268980690

Does anyone know of any good,reasonable priced trimmers/upholsterers in Scotland or the north of England?Gotta get my front seats done soon....

Rare 99spec window switched ended on ebay, with CF centre console - £26. damn :( I was watching it for the Centre console, never noticed till after that they are the super rare 99spec window switches with the different style rocker switches. :headvswal http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&item=220299769807

Has anybody got this headlight pannel on there car and if possible would i be able to use it in my ebay auction Cheers (Pic dealeted)

As above ^, just need to know the inside diameter of the origianl pipe where you put boost jets, not the size of the jets that fit.

Went to change my crank pulley, took the Rad & Fan out. took all the belts off and undone the crank pulley bolt, got out my pulley remover but the crank will just not shift :headvswall: What could be keeping it on so tight ?

Would it be possible to convert the Z to 4WD?

If anyone has a microfiche for the vert hood mechanism or knows a link for it please let me know?

:cry: Sold the Zed today. I only got £3,500 for it. I would have liked 7k for it as I have spent over that on it, the paint cost me 2K with the air brushing. I love the car and will be very sad to see it go. It is going to a good home though. Andy has got a good car for that. I just could not get what is worth IMHO. It has been good seing you all at meets and all that Zed stuff. I will still look in on you all as I love Zeds. If I ever get another car it will be a ZED...:bow: I love it more than the 911 I had or the V12 HE Jag. I will be getting a GSXR 1000 when I see a good one.....I have not told the Mrs yet but she will find out one day if she looks…
