Because I didn't.:mac1::slap:

ok who saw the white 300zx then:D:D:D

Aint seen it around before. Anyone on here? Looked nice, had a spoiler i havnt seen before on. Like a series one stock spoiler only it protruded of the back of the car.

I basically hate all things electric, but had a little idea with all the mini laptops coming out. I presume there is one that fits in the speedo cluster space, and you could have live conzult/blazt information on the fly as you role down the road! I believe it is a legal requirement to have an odometer, but you don't have to get rid of it, you could cover the speedo perspex with carbon fibre transfer and replace with a original clear item for the MOT. If you are worried about car thieves wither fold it up and have it painted black and or put a rag duster over it when parked. The only issue would be power cable/usb coming out of the sides, if there was …

Have been told there are good for 350hp each. There are currently at aet turbos being refurbed at a cost of £550+vat each. Can anyone tell me what the equivilant in hks or greddy terms these turbos would be.

During the process of trying to get my car sorted I have had one head ache after the other as I have said in previous threads. Today I thought OK its time to remove the fuse panel and relays in the foot well drivers side. Just as I was pulling (gently) on the looms that surround it I noticed a black multi plug with nothing connected to it. I searched and eventually found the other side and managed to reunite the pair and guess what???? Yep! the list of problems I have been trying to fix magically fixed themselves. All this crap I have been trying to sus out was down to some idiot so called auto electrician not pluging one loom connector together? Anyway the car …

Had a few parts powdercoated and have ploished some other bits up while im rebuilding the engine. A little different from just the usual polished everything under the bonnet that everyone keeps doin. Wat do you think??? before polishing after ploishing Am pleased with how it should hopefully look when i get it all put back together. Still have a few more parts to come back yet so will be a bit better as it goes on.

was a short wheelbase tt built for the uk maket or import only,if it is import only any recomendations for insurace quotes thanks

Hey all I have the electric fan kit from Zcentre and twice now I have parked up gone off for half an hour or so and then come back and the car wont turn over as there isnt enough juice in the battery. I have replaced my battery with a 680Amp job from Halfords and hopefully that will fix it but as its hot I'm guessing the fan just runs until the engine cools down but this could take a while??? Has anyone else done anything to fix this? Switch under the dash maybe?

I know the det sensor has been covered in numerous threads but I can't find the answer to my question anywhere. I followed the instructions in this link, when checking the resistances of the ECU side connector one wire had 0.5 Mohm as it should, the other wire which should go to ground was getting nothing. My question though does that wire need to be relayed all the way back to the ECU or can it just go to any ground? Thank you EDIT: This is probably a really stupid question, but I'd rather not risk screwing anything up

What started as a Family type BBQ at Jaffa's turned into a leave the kids with wives and work on the car :). We got mine on Jaffa's drive to check the fuel pressure which should have been at 45 psi. Mine was sitting just below 20 psi :o. Using the adjustable fpr we got this up to 45psi. Then adjusted the tps from 0.64v to 0.44v and idle rpm down from 1300 rpm to 825rpm. Took it for a test drive and it feels much better, no need to heal toe anymore when chaning down a gear while breaking. It also idles nice and smooth now. Overall it drives very nicely now and has some very nice pull low down in the rev range. Big thanks for Mark for doing all the…

Hi all I need some help, anyone got any contacts that could help fitting this part please??? Its my boyriends car & its a h reg, uk spec, automatic, we've got a replacement part for it already just need it fitting! O he's based in Hermitage, near chieveley services, right by Newbury. We've been told its easier to fit on a automatic than a manual is that right??? Its also been a non runner for about 2 months now, as my boyfriend is in the army & away on exercise, we tried to start it a few weeks ago but think the battery has lost charge. Is there anything we need to be careful of when running it again??? Thanx for your help Holly …

How can you tell if a tappet is any good or not??. I have some that are noisy and after taking them out, some move in and out and some are solid. which are they suppose to be please

Where actually is the IAA searched all these threads etc but as someone who is fairly new to working on the zed nothing actually says where and what the IAA is!?? Also the intake tubes to my throttle bodies are really hard to get off and advise on that too!?? Please help!

Just interested to know how much people are paying to insure their zed and their second car if they have one?

Hi guys just sorting out a few probs with the motor. Ive already searched on here but couldnt really find anything. My speedo is a bit tempremental as in it hardly ever works so i dont know how fast im going! lol. Every other dial works (rev counter, odometer still puts the kph on. etc) Just my speedo never does! How can i fix this? Thanks all.

Have you bought a 'cheap' ebay type oil sandwich plate and were the results ok? I personally bought a 25 quid ebay jobbie and the unoin supplied was too chunky to allow the seals to properly seat on the filter housing... it pissed my nice nice 5 litres of silkolene all over jimmers workshop floor :( !!

I know its old, but trawling through my PC I have found some pictures, a silver ZX doing donuts... anybody want me to mail therm over? JC

Red 2+2 in the board inn. I came in on my bike

nice little road kill, on the way home there was a brand new morgan in front of me driving all racerish on the single carriage "A" road from st erth to penzance, doing the old swerving from left to right thing to keep his tyres warm as the car in front was too slow for him, I knew when he got to the roundabout and got onto the dual carriageway he was gonna nail it , he did, so did I , off the roundabout onto the dual carriageway I went past ,nailing it up the road, after about 7 secs he just gave up as I was pulling away too rapidly for him to even compete, best thing was he was solo in his and the missus was sat in mine grabbing on for dear life:rofl:, nice heavy Z with …
