My manager just came in and said one of the guys at Blue Square (?) owns a reddy orange zed with a personalised plate? They've just been for a meeting there and recognised what car it was. Apparently it has a fairlady badge on the back? Who's is that then? :D

A few of you already know which car i was planning on buying but i didn't want to say anything till i knew the other car was a definate sale first. Well Jimjitsu is selling up his NA and i couldn't help but jump at the chance to own this fine machine :D Always had a major thing for this car form day one :) I'm sooo excited! :hyper:

On the left side head, there is a water outlet on the rear of the head, does anyone know where this goes to? And what pipe goes on it.... Also, there are 8 springloaded washers,where do these go? ALSO!!!! there are 2 short head bolts, where do these go? :headvswal

Following on from my massive success on the rev limiter post lmao, I'm wondering about one of these. I remember talking to Jay about them and he thought that the way they limited the RPM was a bit ropey, but we didn't decide in the end whether to try one. Anyway, I'm looking at adapting a secondary rev limiter to make a FTS kit. I'm guessing if the Bee-r works ok as a rev limiter, just have a microswitch on the clutch pedal connecting the positive circuit to the rev limiter so it kicks in when you clutch it. Any thoughts? And has anyone actually used one? Cheers!

I have just brought a set of samco silicon top and bottom rad hoses to replace my leaky standard rubber ones. I have an aftermarket water temp gauge that used to have the sensor going into the top hose (hot water out of engine). As the samco top hoses has quite a pronounced bend in the top pipe (presumably for thermal expansion or turbulent mixing purposes) it would have been impossible to fit the adaptor holding the temp sensor into this pipe because it would not fit properly and be leaky. I fitted it to the bottom hoses instead as this has big straight lengths which makes it easy to fit. i realised i would have to figure out the temp drop through the rad (whi…

I've just put the zed (orange n/a) on ebay with no reserve and started the bidding at 99p! it reached £1500 last time but didn't meet the reserve. i need to sell it now so im taking the risk!! :nelson: :confused:

Mark, Tried to reply to your PM but your inbox is full mate. Ta, Tom

Anybody got a list of what is tested at MOT? Got mine soon and want to give it a good check over myself first :)

Hi All, Got in this morning after the torrential rain and the boost gauge is reading 14 psi all the time. Any ideas??. Cheers.

Just picked up a brand new AEM EMS for 940 USD on EBAY :D :hyper: I've been looking around the web for articles on zeds tuned with the AEM but could not find any ... Anyone got any links to any ?

i have Question for yay bud .....!!!!! for the AGM .... ...

did anyone manage to survive and swim away from santapod to tell the story?

Ok just replaced ratiator, will fit separate oil cooler when i get the chance later. Presume there is no need to bleed the autobox that circulates through the rad, made sure I didnt loose much if any fluid when changing rad, will check the levels as per manual when i warm the car up next. Dead easy and quick job cant belive nissan wanted 2 hrs labour when it only took me an hour. :nono:

Not for my car but for another member on here. He needs a new rear as it cannot be repaired. The rim size 17x10. Does anyone have a suggestions as where to source one from please? The pics are from when gruntpa had them on his car.

I know about the modification of the rear indicators but has any one done the same to the rear break lights and side/head lights? Could you not get red bulbs and use the same material for the whole light cluster? and change the rear reflectors to white? If you can legally ect what would you think it would look like I personally think it would look good?

Could someone confirm that these are the right lifters for my Zed. 92 Import TT. I know mine need doing and these seem like a good price. Cheers. Fill. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160084351890&rd=1,1

before I even attemp this it looks like the whole cluster has to come off is this right. I know many of you will think this is a daft question but whats the best way of getting to change the bulbs?

really like the zeds with the ass kit, seriously thinking about this. only trouble is cant really seem to find and wide bumpers that i like, well theres a few pics of cars ive seen on here with good ones, but the only one i can seem to find is the one of the zed centre, but thats know good for as the diameter of my zorsts will be two great. if anyones knows of somewhere to get these from or a website or anything that would be great, thanks.

was poking about under my zed at the weekend and i noticed one of the ball and ring joints of my rose jointed front suspension has been pushed out (ie the ball and the ring are not connected). It is the horizontal bar on the drivers side. I had a little accident in my car a few months ago were i slapped the wheels against a kerb after going into a spin! I guess it could have been this force that caused the suspension bar to do this. Since the accident the very inside of the 2 front tyres have worn quite badly could this be linked to the joint being pushed out. I got the tracking done after the rear suspension that was most badly damaged in the accident was fixed…

As you'll all be aware by now, we lost a member recently, to tragic circumstances. JayPSC was a long standing member of this club, who lost his life at a very young age. We plan to remember JayPSC (Jerome) by having a JayPSC Memorial Trophy at this years Annual Awards and all future years. The 'Winner' and 'Runner-Up' in the 'Best Overall Zed' category be awarded with special trophies, engraved in memory of Jay. We feel this is a very apt way to remember Jay, as he was a genuine zed enthusiast, who loved the 300ZX.co.uk Car Club. We hope it meets with everyones approval. Cheers The 300ZX.co.uk Committee
