Hi just wondered, has anyone an idea on how many zeds are still on UK roads. I see from the forums that a number are being broken for spares. The few that remain will I expect start to become even more wanted by fellow z heads?

Hi! Now Alexporsche´s car is in my home, but I am looking the chassis number and I am a little nervous because it is a RGZ32 and VG30. If is a Twin Turbo will be CGZ32 and VG30DETT no?? This is my question...Is normal? Is a converter N/A-->TT? Thanks! I will put pics when the car runs with Spanish plates:bow:

Hi, Soon hopefully with abit of luck my engine should be fitted soon:headvswal Im hoping for around 500 :) With the high powered zeds on the site, I was wondering if people can tell me how the Zed copes with traction? Do you have trouble with the wheels spinning at high speeds? Also can you still get a good start with out sitting on the spot? The reason im asking is because i went out in my mates evo6 which is now running 590bhp @520lbs of torque. Being 4wd i didnt expect all four wheels to spin which they did making the car just hover all over the road like it has a mind of its own. Im thinking the Zed being rear wheel drive its going to be…

Just wondered if anyone who has a rear tub fitted in their tailgate has any pictures from the inside. I really want to know how to finish one off properly Cheers

Got these from the photographer at Sant Pod. £20 for 5. What do you think? Andy

Two of the bulbs for the guages kept flickering so I took the pod out and cleaned them today. Put it all back together though and now it the lights don't work?? Is there a fuse that I coul have blown and if so does anything else run off it so I can see if it is the fuse?? Cheers

I get home and after banging my head against the wall with the lights. Decide to start on the stellas. Then Sussex Bills Turns up, after the advice i gave him re his Hicas level, in his zed, very clean grey one, Clean a few connectors to try and sort the revving out and some other advice. Seems ok now. Then after he leaves, Atlast, Sean turns up in his white N/a. A coffee and zed chat later. Two more fellow zedders and all Sussex boys................... I think they have got the zed bug. Good to see you guys, youre more than welcome at mine, if i p*** the neighbours off, thats there fault for letting me move in..lol

I never cease to be amazed by these cars.. I have recenetly (yesterday) taken a 1993 twin turbo auto in part exchange against my wide-arch manual TT, its got a chipped ecu & boost controller.. I cannot believe how rapid it is!! I've always thought I would only ever want manual zeds, and that's all I've had until now (TT & NA), but I've changed my mind.. These auto's are amazing.. The pick-up is outstanding.. And kick-down is awsome.. GREAT fun to drive :) V E R Y ... I M P R E S S E D

help?? hi everyone i have recently joined this group, i own a 1990 swb manual tt producing around 350bhp so its pretty standard i think. it was imported ive had a bigger rad and intercooler fitted, refurbed turbos with 360 ball bearings which was done about a month ago. the car feels sluggish low down until i hit 5000rpm, so i am considering putting in a jwt ecu which ive been told will help give me more bhp plus improve fuel consumption coz shes running a little rich at the moment, and i can smell petrol when i start her up and the revs sit high even when warm. but someone else told me i can remap the standard ecu? is this possible? if it is shall i just remap standard e…

Hi all, What are the best tires sizes to get for an 18" wheels which is 10" wide? They are anterra 309's but need to get them sorted and on my zed in time for when I get it back. Thanks Lee

I've just insured my car with footman james, got a great deal! They have sent me the paperwork and a form for an agreed valuation. I put the value of my car at £2500, probably a bit low. I need someone to look at the car, either a car club official(anyone near me?) restorer, valuer or specialist dealer. Anyone know anyone i can get to have a look?

Black 2+2 TT in Salisbury this morning at about 10am.White 'For Sale' signs stuck to it just below the tail lights. Looked pretty stock to me.

Anyone know where he is or got a contact number for him?

Iv got a set of 18" polished Lenso's with decent tread and a few cerb marks. Anyone up for a swap maybe? There are some pics in the Newbie forum 8th down from the top. See what you think.............

Hiya, Has anyone on here ever split the OE BBS split-rim wheels and put wider lips on? Or if anyone has any pics I'd be grateful to see them (specifically the Z32 BBS RS wheels, I've got lots of pics of RSs on VWs, etc.) I vaguely remember Strosek (spelling!?) cars using them under their wide arch kit. Thanks :)

i am looking to purchase a 300zx and was just wondering what to look out for- any common faults or anything i should be wary of when going to veiw the car? Any help is much appreciated thnx

Hi all, Ive just bought a new engine loom for my car to fit with the new engine. Does anyone know the difference between a Auto loom and a Manual as i didnt know till now that there is a difference. I thought Nissans would of just made 1 loom like most manufacturers I just looked on the Z1 site and theres a Manual and Auto version! If the loom i bought is for a Auto can i still use it for my manual?? Cheers Dan

Is it poss to fit 2 instrument pods in the box directly under the radio ,ie oil & w/temp

Just when ive finally got it all working, went to take the dog out just now, and noticed that my paassenger full beam light is on.??????????? If i turn ignition on, or off the bloody light is still on. Have done the usual hitting the pod, and wiggle the indicator stalk, but nothing. Had to disconnect the battery so its off for now. Why is its messing about and how can i sort it. Stu

Before any smart ass posts up I'm gonna beat them too it Yes it was my blue zed on the back of a tow truck all the way from Santa pod to my home in Kent:rofl::rofl: Got the alarm fob wet at the pod and it would not start:xxx:

Thought you might want to see a scooby getting eaten by a Zed on Saturday. I have this on a video but can't figure out how to get it uploaded......... Andy

Hey just got me a new 90 TT automatic had it for about a month now with 66km on clock legit (i hope). For the last few weeks sometimes when its cold in drive its been going to about 3-4k revs before changing gear but a few days ago it just gave out on me and wouldnt move, the HiCAS light is permantly on and since it gave out its been smoking like hell any ideas would be a big help Thanks Billz

last 2 days, ive gone for short drives. each time started, took 2 goes to start (usually fires first time) when started, smelt bit petrolly (dont know if thats coz id been pressing the gas pedal) when started was a bit lumpy, and idle was hunting. but each time after the car drove cleared up and was fine. today coming home, accelarator was a bit boggy, then as was parking heard a whinning noise coming from the back of the car? turnd off the car. tried starting back up, and it wont fire. when i turn the ignition on, sometimes can hear the fuel pump whine for 2 seconds (as normal) and sometimes i turn the ignition on and it doesnt make a sound…
