Anyone near portsmouth got a CONSULT???:bow:

As some of you may have seen on one of my previous posts my zed has rotted and I am going to scrap it. I need to get rid as soon as possible as I don't have room to get the new car on the drive at the moment. I am going to keep the engine & gearbox for my next project, are there any other parts which I need to make sure I keep. I will be keeping all the obvious ones like lights seats etc, just wondering if any of the electrics etc inside are worth anything. Having never broken a car before is there a good order to start stripping things? How long does it normally take? My car is a LWB and will be looking at a SWB for the engine to fit into so some…

Iv just got a H3 xenon kit but iv got those silly H3c candle bulbs in at the min. Does anyone know how to wire the kit up? im guessing that you wire up the earth to something but im not good with electrics! Also The space behind the headlight is only good for a elfs hand so is it a case of taking the light out? if so HOW? I cant see how to do it inless I take my bumper off. Thanks!

Hi, i have been looking into why my TT zx has started to smoke from passenger sode exhaust slightly, blue/white. also revs stick at 1500 sometimes when warm, turn ignition off/on and sometimes cures it. I was looking round engine bay and any idea why this hose is removed and blanked and what its supposed to be connected to ? could it have anything to do with the problem ? I have owned the car about 18monts and has been pretty much trouble free. Thanks

Ive got a 1990 import auto turbo zed and was wondering what the button for next to the clock in fron of the gear lever ( has a picture of a turbo on it ) does, ive been told by someone that it makes the openings to the tubo wider or smallar? just after a definate answer as to what it does as it doesn't seem to effect anything what ever setting its in ( and yes the switch is connected ).... much appreciated........

I am thinking of buying either aem, nistune or zemulator. What would the z people recommend and why? (I need to run 2maps. One for fuel and one for e85.) Going to have a tuningshop map the car. They recomended a ems system since i am going to run on e85 with the mods that i have done.

:)Hi, does anyone have a spare battery retaining clip/clamp/rods....whatever they are called. My bat is a bit loose without it and I have been informed may be a point for an MOT failure.

Anyone have any experience of them? Just wondered what their reputation is like? Looking at a car this weekend and if its no good then they have one I may be interested in Mike

The Trailer....if you can spot it... Apparently, the car is used all the way through the film by the main character. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCLBCiYYa4s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IJfM4WKq1I I'd imagine the car may have been imported from Germany or something like that as when the Z32 first went on sale, Poland was still a communist country and its inhabitants could only purchase crap Eastern block pre-historic papier-mâché cars like the Trabant and Wartburg.

Hi, I have got to present my zed to the DVLA on Friday so they can check VIN number. Only problem is I can't find it and it isn't where I expected or where I've been advised. It's a '90' J spec and if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be really appreciated. A picture would be best if that was possible. Hope someone can help :confused:

i got a automated phone call last night from tracker alerting me the the movement of g293 ybu.......i rang them back to let them know i sold it over 4 years ago but its handy to know that it must still be about somewhere

Hi there.... recently ive been having problems with my zed idling irratically and when your driving along and apply accelerator slightly the engine begins to die but then suddenly picks up after a short while.... but..... last night whilst driving home the car died completely and now refuses to start, its turning over fine and fuel pump is kicking in ok just not firing up. after looking round ive heard something about a PTU failiure going to check this morning but if anybody has any other ideas they'd be much appreciated, or even just confirm this PTU thing as being the problem.

Seen @ 18:00 yesterday, i've seen it a couple of times around wigan but never been able to get close enough to have a look! looks nice though :)

Hiya - I was wondering where I can get a steering wheel and a quick release boss for the Z? I cant seem to find anywhere other than in america!

there are a lot of awsome interiors on here, the only thing thats depressing me about my car, is the bloody Tweed!!! im too poor and smelly to afford to give the car to an upholsterer, and pay large amounts of money. seen a guide on here how to do the seats, (the other panels look easy-ish to do) how many people have done the seats themselves tho? or is it really an impossible thing to do? im takling about getting a large sheet of the material, and doing it all.
