Auto wiv body kit. Spotted driving past you in another RedZed... :dance: Eye catching for sure!

:( this used to happen once in a blue moon, but now it seems to be becoming more frequent. On turning the key the check lights come on, i can hear the pump do it´s thing briefly but that´s about it..no clicking or turning of the starter...the dash lights don´t get dimmer like a power drain..just nothing what so ever. I read something about aftermarket alarms causing stuff like this..but my alarm isn´t hooked up to the immobilizer--never has been. any ideas would be greatly appreciated cheers Maz

My amp remote stopped working yesterday so i tried putting it to the ignition wire to the head unit, Turns out the amp remote wire must be earthing somewhere as not the ignition wire doesn't work either, Is it fused?? The cig lighter still works

Hello guys, i'm actually looking for the Ferodo part number of the rear DS2500 pads for the twin turbo, i already bought the front ones (FCP 986 H) but the shop told me they can't supply me with rear ones unless they know the part number. I would be very thankful for any help. Best regards. Artur.

After going to trax at weekend i ended up with the hicas warning light coming on after travelling about 30 miles. it cleared itself whilst we was there but then decided to come back on again after about 30miles on the way home. I remember that it did this before when i drove to Northampton. any ideas what could be the trouble or does my car just not like the A14? Cheers, Paul.

While on me hols on the Island,one black Z with round rear lights,one yellow Z ,and one silver/blue two tone at Blackgang Chine. :cool: Tony

I'm having my rear spoiler removed and I'm considering a rear wiper removal too. I know it's not an MOT requirement to not have a rear wiper, as some cars don't come with them fitted, and vans etc don't have them. But it is a requirement to have it working if it's fitted. Does this mean fitted to the car as it left the factory, or just fitted at test time? What I'm getting at is does removing it actually count as removing it or simply rendering a fitted part unusable to an MOT inspector? Would I need to blank the switch off for it to pass? Your thoughts would be apprecieated, especailly if you happen to be an MOT tester or you're removed yours and passed an MOT :)

Hey guys wots new these days. Its been a while since I was a registered on here "PHNW" as I dont get much time to enjoy the forum like I used too. I have noticed many new club members of which I will prob bump into at Zedfest no doubt. There is a lot of catching up to do by the looks of things, so we will bring some marshmellows, sit round the fire and catch up on the gossip. Its good to see most of the old skool is still around and havent been escorted of the premises. Catchya @ Z----FeSt LaterZ Dave C

Hi i have a AVC-R boost controller installed with a Jwt stage 1 remap. My question is should these connectors be connected or not? See pics. They were both disconnected. What happened was the car would get to about 4000rpm on full throtle and then it would missfire pop and bang and all that when i looked under the bonnet i saw them disconnected and re connected them. Since then it has been fine but i think they are ment to be disconnected. If they should be disconnected has anybody got any ideas what could be causing the problem after 4000rpm? Here are the pics

Anyone Evre Paid A Lad In Shields For Parts And Never Got Them??? Get Back To Me

Since I got my car back from Ztech, it hasn't been boosting right. Positive boost doesn't really get going until about 4.5k revs and peaks at about 5psi (aftermarket gauge, Profec B switched off). Having spoken to other owners with T28 tubs, there is deffo something amiss :( I've only driven the car once since my leaking injector was fixed, and whilst trying to diagnose the boost issue, something metallic pinged off under the car at "full" boost (could have been something on the road but I suspect the car dropped something that was badly fitted). I got home, parked it up in my garage, locked the doors and left it there... I've booked my Zed for it's MOT tomor…

Silver Zed on M56 eastbound near Runcorn about 2.30pm this afternoon. Looked pretty standard apart from twin single-exit exhausts.

who would like two of these turbo's on there z

Saw a lovely looking Silver Zed coming out of Windsor going Ascot/M3 bound on Saturday 1st September, very nicely indeed.

Hi Guys, Been looking at a Big brake upgrade, and as both the front and rear pads are brand new (80 miles :shock: ) was thinking of swapping over the Calipers. what i mean is the bigger brakes come with 8 pot calipers so can i put the front 6 pot calipers in place of the rear 4 pots as a straight swap? Seams a waste not to try, i know i could sell them to the 200sx guys but if can improve the whole braking system by just swapping them over i'd rather do that. :cool: Any thoughts on this? has it already been done? can it be done? can anybody foresee any problems by doing this? cheers Neil

Thanks to Tubz to who was round on Friday to help with the final stage of engine removal. As mgh297's post, it's great there are people in the club who are willing to help fellow members. :hyper: Only thing is now it's out I've found 3 cylinders with broken valves and 1 with a broken piston :shock:

:bow: :bow: :bow: All I can say is thanks so much to Woz and Mark for coming round on a sunday and sorting out my broken brake line. :bow: :bow: :bow: That is what I think this club is all about, friendly people willing to help out their mates. Legends - see you this weekend for a couple of beers...

I bought these and wanted to wait till fitted before i commented, they are excellent casts and are a massive improvement on stock discs. They come in silver, gold or black. I would highly rec anyone to get these. If you do mention the 300zx club and they will prob give you a discount. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-200SX-300ZX-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-MINTEX-XTREME_W0QQitemZ200145698868QQihZ010QQcategoryZ23013QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Turning out of Bloemfontain Road onto Uxbridge Rd or could have been one of the other side streets on the left down looking towards the green. This was at about 2pm on a match day! You must be mad trying to drive round the bush then! I saw you from the Adelaide where i was having a few drinks before our glorious 3-0 away win!

Last night all my amps stopped working, Its the remote wire from the head unit. Its only 2 months old so can take it back but will have to be sent away, in the mean time, is that remote a 12V???? Can i put the amp remote wires to the yellow power leed so that they switch on with the ignition not just the head unit??
