Saw you turning into the petrol station near george in the tree at 18:45ish today

i just asked for an honest opinion on the value of my car and the thread was removed! i wasn't trying to sell it and was just after advice as the value of zeds seems to differ so much.thanks for nothing whoever removed it. :confused:

Any body help, ive put my car pack together after having the plenum off, everything is back as it should be, i turned the key to fire it up and it just keeps turning over but not firing, ive got fuel pumping round, spark plugs are sparking and im pretty confident ive got all the timing right, ive also checked all connections etc, can anybody through some light on the problem?

Now then Nick - those lightened pulleys: were they specifically for an NA??? Cheerz

The battery on my zed is fu*... sorry, kaput! Iv trawled through the search which bought up a thread from turboz asking the same question but in the end he did not change his so no real results. Its seems like a silly question but can any1 shed some light on what battery to use in the zed? I have 3 amps and a carputer setup running in it so i would need more than the standard recommended one? should i just get the biggest, highest cranking and ah battery that i can fit in the hole? should i be wary about cheaper batteries... any advice welcomed, including abuse for asking such a nob question!

Hi guys.. Got a major problem with my suspension. The car has been fine but it has been squeeking for quite a while and never thought that there was anything wrong / to worry about so i thought i would put up with it until i get it serviced and get it checked over. About 10 mins ago i went to fill up with some petrol which is just around the corner.. Got their fine, but on the way back i heard something grinding. I got home and found this to my horror! Is this the upper link? If so how much are they to get replaced? Any help much appreciated Rob EDIT: Also.. Ive had a look on zcenter's website and the original link arm looks dif…

Plodding along with removing the subframe. At the moment i have bled the front brakes and need to disconnect the hoses from the wheel arch that go to the disc calipers. Looks like i should do it near the wheel arch. But i cant get the things off:- I have already unscrewed a clip from the wheel arch.

HB mate - have a good day :duffer: :duffer:

I tried posting this in the FAQs section but didnt get much response. So ill try here as well Im in the market for the 99spec Xenon healdights and ive been shopping around and found very cheap set for sale in the US. Now I have a 89 Jspec model zed and my only concern is install the headlights. I have seen the pre-wired version and no wired version and it seems from what ive read in the aus300zx.com forums the pre wired version wont work for the Jspec models cuz they are designed for the US zeds. Has anyone on this forum brought and installed the 99spec xenon headlights and know how to do it. If i buy just the healdights, do i have to buy a HID kit anyways or is…

When I was bleeding my brakes last weekend, I was removing the rear O/S wheel and one of the studs sheared off. Firstly how easy are they to replace? and Second, is it safe to drive with 4 studs.

Last night at about 6.30. Was blue or black and a G reg i think. A bit vague but it was dark and i was pretty tired after being at Alton Towers all day

Hello all Asabove tried to get the plenum of today spent about 3 hours at it including compression test, anyways its pretty free but just wont come of, so looks like theres something else holding it, is there any sneaky screws i dont know about, coz after a while i threw the towel in. Also when taking the intake pipes of found the inside of the lower right hand side to have a bit of oil in it????

Hello. I've just noticed a pinhole size leak in a hose at the back of the engine. My question is does anyone know where the hose runs to, as I couldn't quite see when I had a brief look? The hose is as mentioned at the back of the engine right at the top. What I believe is the heater matrix hose that runs into the car is just under it. The hose in question has a jubilee clip at one end, but the other end vanishes below and out of sight. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as it will give me some sort of idea on what kind of job it's going to be, and how to get at it. The car is a N/A by the way. Thanks in advance, Adrian.
