hi im havin probs again my revs keep shooting up to around 1500rpm and sometimes when i go down the gears it sticks at 2k can anyone help it sounds terrible when im doin 2mph over a speed bump with the car revin high :headvswal

Since I converted to manual some years ago, my zed will stall if I leave the heater blower switched off. Is there some ECU mod which might prevent this? The ECU diag shows 55. Cheers Dave

Oh dear. I'm looking at a well kept, fsh uk car, with light bubbling on arches+ some big bubbles in the back of sill, where it meets wheel area. Its far too good to break, or let rot completely, but i cant spend a fortune on it! What i need is a guide price for a bodyshop, to do the cutting/welding + some nice shiny red paint on top? Any idea whats a fair price, to make it nice again? Any bodyworkers here want to take it on?

Not knowing anything about these,do you reckon it's a mis-print on the price or not? Seems an awfull lot of motor for the money! :wack: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1997-R-AC-ACE-5-0-V8-Superblower-Just-1755-miles_W0QQitemZ290154342497QQihZ019QQcategoryZ2192QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Do you guys just chuck some blankets or summit over zed if you leave it in your garage. Having a black Zed, you can polish it at 5 at night, put it away, then in the morning get it out and theres a layer of dust over it :( Thinking of trying to get a cover but as its a wide arch swb think Im gonna struggle.... may have to just get some old duvet covers...

N reg - looking nice. Any1 here? About 7:30 today

Hi gang.. I have found a nice set of wheels for sale.. But they are: BLITZ Front - 18" diameter, 9" wide with a PCD of 114.3, offset 41. Rear - 19" diameter, 10" wide with a PCD of 114.3, offset 45. Tyres - Pirelli P Zero Rosso, 235x40x18 front. Pirelli P Zero Rosso, 275x30x19 rear. Are there likely to be any fitment issues with these??.. I've never fitted different sized wheels, front to back before. They are to be fitted to my wide arch zed.. Currently not lowered. Thanks!!

went to halfrauds yesterday to "mooch" at the stereo`s and came out with a touch up stick for me zed (colour spot on by the way) as i had caught a stone on the bumper the previous day.i decided to do it in the car park as it was nice and sunny and would dry off quicksnap.went to the boot and got my valeting bag out to clean up the area before applying said new paint didn`t bother unlocking the car just undid the boot lucky coz she`s having a new sigma security system fitted in the week any way carried on doing the job finished put all the stuff back in the car and closed the hatch. guess where my fooking keys were? yep in the boot. so into halfrauds i went and borro…

Happy Birthday Mate :duffer:

ive been offered a skyline gts as a straight swop for my zed has anyone got any advice or comments about skylines performance etc? im only interested because its easier to get the baby in and out

For the last few weeks the Z has started dropping revs (200 or so rpm) every time I push the accelerator then picks up again and seems to work fine. The idle hasn't been perfect recently either. Then this morning I started it up and was running slightly rougher than it has been, I left it running while taking the targas off and noticed black smoke along with a very strong smell of fuel. I then tried moving it outside the house to take a closer look at it, it moved 5 yards then stopped and won't start again. I'm guessing this is the PTU. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you Dave

is the ecu the 1 behind the woodern plate on the passinger side footwell is so can how can i tell if its been chipped or not??? thanx :bow:

Why on GOD's green earth would you not want a spoiler on your car?? When I had my Z up to 185 MPH I don't know what it is in KPH but I know its fast as balls, but if I didn't have my spoiler my car would have spun out of control. Now with those fast as street over across the pond there you would think you would want spoilers on your cars to plant them to the ground when reaching insane speeds. Please enlighten me on why you all take off the bloody spoilers.
