So, I had the young lad up in the attic today fetching down Stuart's white/silver dials, when he was up there, I got him to hand down a few sets of clocks, One set is a UK conversion with white indigo faces, they have the original black faces underneath with the KMH changed to MPH. The other set is the infamous Redbaron UK clocks with white indigo dials, these have no original faces underneath. I took a video, one of each set of clocks. Firstly, the Redbaron UK clocks follows by my MPH converted clocks... [video=youtube_share;MzLyLBvt_F0] Can I assume that the Redbaron clocks are only good for stripping for parts as the needles don't return to zero?? I w…

Hi Need my Zed taking from Hackney to Jimmers in Bristol - Can anyone help ? Thanks

Just wondering if there is a hose size guide for under the bonnet. Need to get some new bits for the washer jets so though i may look at changing some to a different colour

What sort of bulbs does the 89 Spec third brake light (in the spoiler) take? :thumbup1:

Spotted Croydon centre by the police station roundabout. Horrendous photos as he was driving off when I spotted. As you can't see much, it's a black Z with grey vinyl graphics/wrap on the sides, and a boomex rear spoiler with LEDs under the lower spoiler. I think there were more LEDs around the car. Any ideas from the description?

Clean looking Z, looks to have Veilside exhaust:thumbup: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300-ZX-FAIRLADY-TWIN-TURBO-TARGA-AUTOMATIC-ONLY-42000-MILES-4-SEATER/351762791221?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%

just want to say thanks to noel on mapping my zed we went from 530 to 570 on water methanol with more to go,on the very helpful advice of noel we decided not to push the car further, as further upgrades are needed with the reasons fully explained to me , he went above and beyond on my car to make sure it was taken care off and spent more time than he should have on it investigating concerns i had addressed, also thanks to mark derby aka automodz for his help in a quick fire oil change while car was on the dyno and also giving his time to also investigate my concerns. the drive home was awesome thanks very much 1 happy zedder:),i would not go anywhere else for my mapping h…

My Z failed as it has xion headlights! HIDs r fitted. They say the headlights need washers? Is this true?

Hi guys, looking for the size of the bolts that thread through the coil pack brackets and into the coils, there's 4 on each bracket, I want to purchase stainless ones.:thumbup: Thanks

As above - does anyone have contact details for Mark Rawlings that used to trade as "The Zed Factory"? I've tried searching his name and "The Zed Factory" in the search box on here and even Google but to no avail. However, the last time I spoke to him was in 2012 so it may be that the posts I'm looking for are from too long ago! Thanks in advance, James

Hello all My Gearbox Knock Knock bang on Friday pm Concluded after talking to Jimmer and Friend at work it's a lyashaft failure Anyone got a manual gearbox for Sale ? Oh and mine is an NA gearbox.....

Hi guys got problems trying to look at the Zcenter web page, does anybody else have the same problem? thanks trev.

My original stereo has decided to stop working, so Ive decided to fit a single din radio/cd in the top slot so will have a hole down below!!:excl: I know you can get a oem cubby hole from the Z Centre for £25 but was wondering if anyone had fitted something else from another vehicle be it Nissan or otherwise, perhaps that had a flap/hinged door on the front. Im sure I recall an X-Trail having an hinged cubby hole, but cant find one now..... Nick

Since the previous thread was a bit of a mudslinging contest I would like to open a better organised discussion as it would be in my interest aswell as in the interest of many others. This will mainly be a thread for dissatisfied customers with engine failure as a result, but general (but not vague) comments would also be worthwhile. If anyone has anything to say, please include: -Who the mapper in question is... -What power you were chasing. -What the fault was that destroyed the engine. -Anything else meaningful to add (timescales etc.)

Opinions? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121991530175?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

So, I have a leaking heater matrix, and short-term (until I can get up to Jimmer @ Powerzed) need to block it off. I have seen many threads on bypassing the heater matrix with a short length of hose 5/8" in dia. So where is the best place to get this dia of hose and how long does it need to be? Cheers!

My interior mirror is starting to deteriorate around the edges as usual, but as I have a mint interior in the zed it bugs the life out of me, what are the options here? Ideally a new oem would be preferable but are they still available?

As above. Even though the car has had an alignment the wheel is not central in the arch. That's kind of miss leading, what I mean is both rear wheels aren't equally distant from the fore and aft of the arch. There's about a 5mm discrepancy with the passenger side sitting slightly further back, visually at least. Ideas?

Hi - my zed is in the great hands of jimmer at the minute replacing the engine with a doner - the engine is complete with all injectors, turbos, exhaust, nistune ecu and smic. The car was mapped not long back by Noel. I don't have the dyno run for it for the time of mapping so just wanted a power run to give the power output once completed. There is a place in devon that does rolling road tuning and power runs but have not had a good experience there before and don't think they know the zx that well - if I just wanted a power run could they mess this up - don't want them tinkering once jammer has worked on it - long winded I know but are all dyno done the same i.e would g…

I realise this isn't a simple question, but can anyone provide an estimate of how much I might get for my Zed in it's current condition - All of the paint has had a reaction (a delayed reaction by months!) and now looks terrible. I thought the tailgate and bonnet had escaped the reaction, but they haven't... All that work for nothing. It means repainting the whole car, and what's to say it wont happen again. I'd have to rub down almost back to bare metal. Just when I could see light at the end of tunnel and might get to actually drive my Zed. It's really pi**ed me off, and afte…

I've have been meaning to take the kids to Marsh Farm for a while so when I saw that they have an annual Motorfest, I thought it would be a great opportunity to combine a day out that the kids will enjoy, with a car show. I booked a slot to show the Z so hopefully the weather will be kind to my family estate model Z!
