Think it was H plate. Aftermarket wheels. Heading towards Wallmart this evening around 7pm.

Spent most of today on my new satin black boot install. All the nasty stick on black stuff has been removed and replaced with a couple of coats of 2Pac Satin Black. I have used the latest nano technology sound system so the components are really small. Each one is just a micro-dot. all wireless of course, so no horrid cables everywhere. The components are all satin black too which along with their minute size makes them difficult to see in the picture. The ultimate "stealth install" :D Check out the pic

Hi all, Just thinking a little ahead here. Car will be done very soon after having the engine completely rebuilt etc. I believe Phil will give me advise/instructions on running in my engine (Mark said thats what he did with him anyway).

Mine was slipping in second and sometimes on start up when i tried to pull away it was stuck in third !!!!. Got one of ebay , i know i can hear you all cringing from here :tongue: The chap i got it off had done a manual coversion on his and guarenteed that the box worked perfect and he claimed the previous owner had had it re-conned :rolleyes: . Got it for £155 :dance: and noticed this morning that there was a nissan part number sticker on the bell housing , these stickers are only on replacement parts so it,s very possible it,s had a new genuine nissan box rather than being re-conned :eek: Got it all filled up with ATF and took her for a spin , it,s as smooth as s…

over the last few months i have noticed a black zed with red outline on wheels parked on opposite side to mill autos on cardrew business park funny thing is its always in the same place doesnt seem to move!:) dan.:smash:

OK Nurgburg convinced me that an autobox is for town traffic jams. What's the conventional wisdom on a manual box upgrade in terms of which box, costs etc? Is there a 6 speed box out there? thanks Chris

Hi there, my UK TT has gone into the car hospital and seeing Mike at MJP Eastern Autos in Brentwood, As well as costing a lot of dosh, I thought I would ask you guys some questions, Currently I have Boost jets fitted, which have raised the boost to about 1 bar, on new tubs and stock internals, (Done at SE NISTEK), anyhow Mike almost had a heart attack when he found out and we are planning to re-program the ECU and fit manual boost controllers, now I know that the electronic boost controllers are better, but presumming that it is all done properly I assume that Manual controllers, and boost valves can be firstly effective, but more importantly safe? So my quest…

my zeddy pissed me reet off this weekend. took it out for a lurrvly cruise. parked up and water is totally pissing out of the engine. after much squinting i can see that both the main water pipes that connect to the bulkhead are weeping like buggery. however, as my hands and arms are not as small as the japaneese im rather confuzzled. anyone had this problem, how the hell can you get to those hoses!?

As per the above, what are the widest tyres you've fitted to a set of 8.5" standard rear Z32 wheels? & what about the front (8")?

Hi peeps, was using my Datascan software the other day to try and sort my poor idling out and i noticed that it doesn't read the Duty Cycle of the Injectors. Has anybody else had this or can suggest a fix? Cheers, Mark

I saw a red zed at 4.45pm today in Upholland, Wigan. It was LOUD, very nearly as loud as mine, lol. Only really caught the back end as I busy correcting the girl in the chippy, who thought it was a ferrari, LOL. But I did see 6 pot venom rear lights. Was it you?

Story so far........... Took the car to Jeff at Zedworld who did a great job on putting in a new prop shaft which took away that annyoing rumble under the seat. He also found a loose steering joint which he cured and suggested the discs which had been skimmed hadn't been on the inside rim. The vibration through the steering wheel improved but was still there. As suggested i changed the discs and pads and hey preston no vibration whatsoever......i was also running in the discs very slowly. Last weekend i took off one wheel to sand down some minor kerb damage and took out the car again to find some steering wheel judder had returned???????????????? …
