... doing some much needed jobs! Got to love long weekends! Resoldered the speedo so it now stops dropping out. Welded my seat due to me being a bit of a large fella! Fitted a Smithys Fuel line kit Found loads of bits missing that I need to get replaced as well Also Converted my 2+2 into a 2+0 Tomorrow I need to fit some new Rad hoses and have a general tidy up! It never ends!

Going from Redcar towards Middlesbrough around 2 o'clock-ish today.

When locking/unlocking the drivers door with either the key or alarm remote the drivers door un/locks but the passenger door doesn't. I've checked the fuse in the footwell but thats ok. Any ideas or common faults before i have to remove the door cards?

Hi guys,thought i would service my engine today on the Z and after changing everything,plugs,oil,filters etc i only had the the air filters to do and came across a problem,after unclipping the 4 clips i noticed that the remaining screws that need taken out were severly rusted and stuck in,further more the screw heads were badly worn to a point where the screw driver wont remove them:headvswal Has anybody here had the same or similar problem and is there any easy way to remove the air box now as i think i will need a new one when i get this one out Thanks

Hi whoever you are. Missus saw you on the A50 tonight near Derby at about 7ish. Anyone here? Ivan

Hi, done a search and found nothing to really help. New 555 injectors, Apexi, new plugs (standard gap????????) JD chip, running 0.9 bar via a boost controller I have just fitted. Even when I was running standard boost it would sometimes miss fire when I first punched it, genererally it then was fine after the first two or three full throttle runs. If I raise the revs gently it is often OK, it is in the bottom 2/3 of the rev range it gets upset. It is also not always there. Still running cats but have free flowing single exit pipe. Driven gently to medium speed its OK. Dont think its boost leak as it not always there. CAr also seems to use…

Hi peeps, Just got back from hols in Vegas. After driving a crappy rental down roads with no corners and roundabouts, I couldn't wait to get behind the wheel of my Zed again and experience some real driving. 1. Car wouldn't start. Flat battery. Jumped it with another car, but it turned over with the fuel injector relay removed. Wouldn't start with it in.....how strange. All ok on that front, but strange nevertheless. 2. Speedo, now comes on when it wants. Below 20MPH it flickers and dies. (Jap spec BTW converted years ago). 3. Power steering is heavy as hell. HICAS light comes on. Checked fluid, all good. Switch off and on again and all is …

I have only tried the drivers side so far but I have managed to get all of the nuts/bolts off besides one (Front lower nut (14mm)) which has rounded off, I have been using plusgas and a breaker bar but now my sockets are just spinning round on it :headvswal I'm going to try with heat tomorrow, but does anyone else have any other ideas?

some bloody little chave has nicked all my dust caps from my wheels :rant::rant::rant:

If you'll excuse my ignorance, here - I don't know cars (don't even drive, sadly...). I'm trying to do a favour for my old man who wants a valuation on his ZX300. I figured you chaps would be well-placed to maybe help and give us an idea? It'd be much appreciated. I'd have to speak to him for more details, if this isn't enough... Here's what I currently know... It's a 1992, 2 seater, 3 litre ZX300 in silver with a straight V6 engine. It was imported to Ireland in 1998 from Japan (of all places!). It's in very good condition and has had some modifications (not sure what, though...). Anything would be a bonus. Cheers, look forward to your replies...! …
