Dave as got his work cut out for a good few months I think, What with none starters to gear box converions and engine rebuilds. I can see me getting much done on mine lol :duffer:

Blue/purple flip with gold 5 spokes, Channel Island plate, on the Condor Guernsey to Portsmouth ferry, 6am today. One of my students says he was having a chat with you, was very impressed, especially when you started her up :D

So with wise old Ken upping the congestion charge to £25/day for high emission vehicles, it made me wonder what the Zed's stats were in relation to CO2 emissions - anyone know? It's obvious they would be high enough to be subject to the higher C-charges but I can't seem to find exact figs as mine wasn't checked during MOT (due to age of car I believe??)....

did people feel much of a difference? whats the best brand?

my nissan went in the garage yesterday to get the new box oil cooler and exhaaust fitted.. now the box and exhaust are done but the lad does not know were the cooler connects to and it needs to be out his garage 2 day :headvswal pics would be awsome :wack:

Think i'm getting a good deal but just wanted to make sure. £42.50 a wheel and for that they will remove the old tyre, repair the alloy mainly curb damage, powder coat it and refit the tyre or incase fit a new tyre. That's the quote before actually seeing them as they have like a big bolt on the which holds a cover over the wheel nuts which is a different colour to the alloy and has a plastic logo inside which needs cleaning also.

Not going in to loads of detail, But i took my car to Z-tech about 3half years ago for an uprated engine fitting, which had to go back to be re-done due to massive oil useage :( which it stood again since Feb of last year till just after Chris took over the company. Chris honoured the the work and has re-built my engine for me and took it in for MOT which it failed :mad: main thing is the brake pipes need replacing plus a couple of small jobs too. i just feel like putting the fooking thing through a crushed I tell ya, As i know this isn't a small or cheap job to do. Also found out that my gear box is on it's way out, which is a new one that i was told i needed by…

Anyone noticed they seem to be on the rise? Just had a look through autotrader and they seem to be a bit healthier... Just me imagining things? Discuss

why is it when i blip the throttle at idle it first goes slighty lower in revs then up the revs like a slight hesitation? really annoying. im sure this has something to do with my dodgy idle at cold starts.

Evening all... anyone seen/fitted a dash trim kit such as these.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-1990-1991-92-93-94-1995-1996-DASH-TRIM-KIT_W0QQitemZ110223504722QQihZ001QQcategoryZ72213QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem are they any good - i mean do they fit well etc? Thinking of getting one.. Ta Ed

worth anything?.. or are they just a stupid 'oh look, il spend my halfords gift vouchers on these just to get rid of them' type array? had some on mine when i bought it but they are annoying so iv removed them... just wanted to know if i should give them away or sell them for six thousand pounds...?!?..

was browsing my jocal jap club website and found an advertisement for a modified s15 silvia. i commented to the girlfriend how nice it was and she said we couldnt afford to buy it as it was about 11k. i said well we could sell the Z :x: she nearly took my head off and said we are never selling the Z. :dance:

Lunchtime today, heading up the sliproad to the M27. I was pulling out of Pinks Hill in my work van. Reg - CCZ ****

I am currently after 2x dump valves for my UK TT Z, however i would prefer a wastegate as i prefer the sound, is this possible? what is the difference in installation? & where can i buy them from for a Z??? cheers guys, Dan

could someone (andyduff) guide me through removing the passenger engine mount in situ as i had a look at it this morning and thought WOW thats tight, looks like theres no way to get to the top bolt? what has to be removed? thanks guys.

my zed doesnt like to accelerate above 3500 rpm when cold, it will actually do it, but coughs and splutters and seems to be chocking up, it gets a bit better when warm but then sometimes when im sitting in traffic the revs slowy start to creep up to 2000 rpm, a quick blip of the throttle usualy sorts it out there is a time when the engine is warming that the car runs perfect, it pulls like a train doesnt miss, doesnt backfire and feels correct ive also noticed that if i drive home from work, it doesnt run correcttly for most of the way home, but if i switch off and leave it for a bit (maybe an hour) it runs much better if i g back out in it, im assuming that i m…

Hi guys (& girls), Is there anyone who may be able to lend me the actual control unit for the Profec B spec II? I have already tested the system with a known EBC solenoid but this did not cure the problem. I need to test the actuall control unit I have for strange behaviour before I can rule it out as the cause of the boost problem. Thanks in advance. Mike...

Where's the best place to get one of these plastic clips that fit behind the barrel of the drivers door lock. I imagine its quite a common problem as the one on my spare doors was broken also. I take it they are only worth pennies but does MJP do them or would it be Nissan?

any ideas how to remove the main beam bulb- how does plastic connector release- and any other tips after that! Thanks

Well ater my car was collected from SWZ, due to them making it worse than before it went in and before work was carried out to rectify by Zedworld, the old thing had a MOT to check what was wrong and failed on 48 points. Wow never knew you could have that many failure points lol. There are also about 10 other things that need to be rectified.

Where is best to get my car serviced and my turbo issue sorted out? please help...

Theres a s14 in japenese performance mag this month with a 300zx vg30dett engine fitted with a big single turbo conversion .I didnt think it was possible with a v6 .The exhaust manifold must be a work of art. :)

I use to own a Twin Turbo and have some brand spanking new still in the boxes VERDE 5's 17" 5 spoke Chrome wheels which I never put on my car. If anyone is interested in them please contact me 07932 042 060 Konrad

Hi guys I will be taking the Z for a trip to the famous Nurburgring end of march so i gotta do a dam good service on it so i thought a nice new set of shiny spark plugs wouldnt go a miss but im not sure which flavour to go for. HKS seem the most expensive but i do know that price dosnt nesecerely mean they are the best and you tend to pay more for the name so any advice on this subject would be greatly appeciated and supplier and price would be good too!! Cheers guys, Sharky
