2.30pm Today (Sun 18th Nov), red with aftermarket alloys and lambo rear lights, at the road works on the A570 near kew roundabout. Only saw you at the last minute so did not have time to flash and i was not in my zed. I believe both me and my dad have seen you in the past and you flashed but i was not a member then. Was It You???

Bit of a 50/50 one here!!, i've removed the std recircs, and want to fit a Samco hose directly onto the lower intake pipe, (bore size is 34mm), now Samco unfortunately only do a 35mm or 32mm hose.... will the 35mm be ok with just a tight jubilee clip or should I get the 32mm Samco and squeeze it onto the 34mm pipe? , that's if it fits!!)

I just got myself a double din tv/dvd/radio gizmo. Its a full Double Din installation. I only just realised that the whole of the centre consul is a single piece fitting. Obviously there must (I hope) be a way of fitting a double din unit so for my first 'how do I' - can anyone tell me what to get or how to do it please?? Cheers

didnt see you my spies told me youve had the geometry done on the z i have weekly updates from them if its not you its the mysterious black one with shiney wheels why do people that dont own zeds seem to gloat because theyve seen another one twats :hyper:

I have done a search and can't find anything for the service schedule/intervals for a Z32. I know the obvious oil change every 6k miles, but is there a proper schedule somewhere? e.g: 6000 miles: oil change oil filter change coolant change 12000 miles: as above with air filter 24000 miles: as above with fuel filter sparkplugs This is just an example, but does anyone have proper schedule?

At last after 12 years of waiting - i have bought my first Zed !! i'm going to get drunk to celebrate. !! Hoping to c all you soon... B

recently picked up this totaly standard z with a recon engine and tubs just fitted. stripped out aircon and halfway through removing egr and fitting polished manifold.

Right i have done the search and found out it could possibly down to the idle control valve or the temp sensor. choke is around 2000rmp and about 1250rmp when it eventualy turns off so on choke and on idle it seems to be running aporx 500rpm to high Is there a screw on the idle control valve to try to sort this out and where is the temp sensor any help will be super cheerz dave :duffer:

Hey there guys, i sold my zx about a year ago now for business reasons above all and i did think i wanted somthing else, but after a few now theres not much that drives as well as the zed and i have to admit that i miss it. I came on here for the 1st in a while and am suprised how much they have dropped in price since i sold mine to wales and i thought i was robbed!! wot is wrong with people that they just dont love these?? :headvswal Mine was a mint uk manual and low miles on the clock drove like new and i regret selling it now! As i just dont think i will ever pick one up as clean again Heres Lookin at u all from Northern Ireland

:headvswal removing headlights to clean them today I stuffed some kitchen paper into top of both air intake pipes after removing the air filter and y tube so nothing would fall in there . Started pissing down halfway into the job so I started the engine to move it into the garage. Yes, you've guessed it, they've both been sucked in there :headvswal i've tried using a bit of flex attatched to the hoover to suck them back out with no luck. i'm almost too embarrassed to ask but where have they gone and how much damage have I done?

Hey Folks Ive had the stethopscope around the belt pulleys etc today to try and locate a rummble/vibration and im almost sure its the top idler pulley thats suspect with a noisy bearing,is this a dealer part does anyone know. I also appreciate realistically that to change it the tension on the belt should be slackened off via the adjuster but just wondered if it could be done without going that far as would have to remove lots more parts futher down to get to the tensioner Thanks Paul

A friend of mine is looking at buying a z and was wondering if he will be able to convert it to run on lpg,i told him i have not got a clue if anyone has then please help :bow:

Just an idea?

I've just been out doing my rear brake pads and found the nearside piston seized so i cracked the bleed nipple to release some pressure and the nipples come away complete with threads. Is this a case a new caliper? I hope not as i'm already pissed off and have been loaded with the flu all week :cry:

Well I finally got my Zed. After about two weeks of searching and toing-and-throing between a Lexus GS300, BMW 7 Series, Mitsu FTO and the Zed. I sat down and made the decision. Took me a while to find a car I liked enough to buy but eventually got there. I now own a '90 TT in dark blue. It was owned since import by a guy named Paul in Aldershot before someone bought it and then couldn't afford to run it and so sold it within a couple of months. The car has done about 70,000 miles and (other than a mongoose exhaust (still catted surprisingly)) is pretty vanilla in terms of mods. However there are a few niggles that the seller didn't tell me about (even though …

When used on a Doolz set-up is the actual use in the pipework of a dummy AFM of any importance? because of the lack of space on my car I can fit the 2nd filter but only if I don't use the dummy AFM... the fact it serves no purpose other than maintaining equal lengh of the pipework makes me think it is not essential.... can someone confirm? Thx Lee

Round by the hospital on wednesday at about 14:30. 6 pot LED rears, didn't notice much else blown away to see one on the road!

Apologies for the none z related query but I am getting nowhere elsewhere. Anyone familiar with Nissan Pathfinder 07 keyless entry, mine wont let me in ! :rant: Is there a manual lock anywhere for the emergency key? (manuals are in the glove box).

Peeps I have been thinking in investing in an orbital polisher. I love polishing my car/bike but by the time ive done a paint scrub/polish/wax im completely shagged. Now i dont know alot about orbital polishers, whats good/bad about them and what i should be looking to pay. So to all the "show & shiners" out there, opinions and advice please! Nick
