Just got the car back after full engine rebuild and is now fully run in. I am now up in Glasgow and looking for any recommendations for a rolling road in the area. I used a company called AVA about 10years ago and would like to know if anyone else has used/recommends them? Or any other rolling roads in the area?

I have a jap import TT and am travelling between manchester and newcastle three times a week in it. I thought it would be a good opportunity to try out a few different fuels and driving styles (eg 2000 vs 2500 vs 4000 rves most of the way) to determine the best mpg. Only problem is thats its an arse to keep converting litres per kilometer to mpg - anyone got a good link to a site that will do this? the firs half dozen i tried on google have been crap. I have had two runs already and the MPG changed from 27 to 21 just by switching fuels! Hopefully the data will be interesting - i might post it up after a few months. many thanks

hi, has anyone got some form of guide for fitting one of these, its a Blitz SSDC R spec boost controller, I was hoping to use the write ups in the FAQ section which has fitting a greddy controller as a rough guide but the links / pics dont seem to work anymore, my car is a 1993 UK TT Auto Any help greatly appreciated Thanks

Hello, I have just had a GReddy Profec B Spec II boost controller fitted to my motor by Z-Tech however it wasn't setup and I am now trying to get this sorted. I have read the instructions and understand (mostly) what each parameters varies. I have also used the recommended settings posted on here a while ago, the problem is however I cannot get anything above 10.5 PSI no matter what settings I use. Does anyone have any ideas as this is frustrating after spending big money on something that is currently useless. The car also has just had BOV's fitted. Lloyd

does any one have instructions on the old style apexi AVC-R , i think the model number is 9405 its about 4 inches wide and an inch tall , it came with my z and after going to the apexi web site i still cant find a hand book on how to operate it . if i just turn the power off will that afect the running at all.thanks guys and gals :cry:

Your PM is full mate.

Does anyone know of, or have, a decent photo of the front suspension taken from the underside (like they do in the Haynes manuals) Even one showing all (well as much as you can) of one side, as the other side would be a mirror of the same. Anything appreciated, with thanks, Dave

Hi Guys and Girls Just thought I'd tell you about some exemplary service from Zedworld. Some of you will know about the water loss problems and the carry back off the M40 after the blown replacement Rad. Well Geoff ordered a new all metal rad and was told it would be here today, Well it wasn't so Geoff lent me the one from HIS Zed.... and said when mine arrives he'll call me and swap them while I wait Can't beat that for service Thanks Geoff... You're a star Tony

Hi Guys I'm driving down the motorway in my automatic twin turbo and she is cruising at about 3,500, then all of a sudden without warning she will increase revs to 4,500 but she doesn't get any faster. After a few mins she returns to normal and the does it again. Oh and I have had a new/old engine put in recently, don;t know if that piece of info is a help or not. Any thoughts????? :headvswal Spencer

What could be the possible cause of ZX boosting to just 0.5 bar... Things I have checked / points of interest... 1) TPS voltage is fine and seems ok, idle is steady at 1K after the car has warmed up 2) Power to boost solenoids is 12V+ when the throttle is open 3) Can't seem to find any major boost leaks but engine does sounds a bit more hissy than other 300's I have had - difficult to see exactly where the hiss is coming from, it's roughly towards the top of the engine near balance bar area... 4) Have cleaned cleaned up some of the connectors such as water temp, TPS, AFM, but doesn't seem to make any difference 5) ECU check is all clear Code 55... …

Now I know this baby belongs to somebody on here because I've seen a sig pick of it, but for the life of me I can't remember who. I walked past the car just after 1.30 today.

Seen this car on Saturday night by the big lights not far from china88. had this clubs sticker in the window, very odd color

I have recently bought two sets of alloys first i purchased some 19 inch which are 8.5 J Front and 9.5J rear, when I went to had them fitted I was told the hub bolts are not long enough for the rear, So I purchased some 18 inch 9j Alloys and it seems its the same problem. I have had to other zeds and have never had this problem. I was told to go to nissan to get longer hub bolts , but dont want to pay nissan prices. Anyone else sell them or know where I can get these bolts from. Cheers

Do we have a stand? theres usually been a good turn out on the zed stand and its usually (weather depending) one of the best shows of the year? Machine and myself will be there and his pentroof zed is taking pride of place on the japanese performance magazine stand on the sunday. Be a shame if we dont even have a club stand there this year!!
