Had a quick search on this one, but doesn't give me much info on my symptoms. Now, the car runs fine usually, but occasionally, I'll have a hesitation on full boost somewhere between 3 and 5rpm. Now, it always clears. IE, it boosts, then holds back and at a certain point will come on full boost again. Doesn't always do it either. Have checked for possible boost leaks and all looks ok. Si

The power cylinder on my zed's HICAS is leaking :eek: It looks as though a previous owner or mechanic has caked it in grease or something similar to stop it leaking. Its leaking from where the pipes attach. Any ideas of where I can source a replacement power cylinder for the HICAS or should I get a HICAS eliminator?? Thanks in advance :)

I want my engine to look nice and shiney, whats the best way to clean it ?

put some clear side repeaters in didnt work at first but turns out just the bulb not making proper contact, anyways now me alarm wont work, really quite annoying. The two wires on the left hand side one is black and the other green n balck, it appears the green and black is live, the roght hand side is one balck and one green n yellow, which i would presume was an earth, but it has to be connected to the bulb, for the bulb to function, does this wire earth anywhere else, coz i pulled it up abit through the hole and now alarm is fooked, sorry if this sounds dumb. but not very good at electrics yet. any ideas advice greatfully welcomed, oh the alarm is an avital of some kin…

Ok, it's MOT time and i think it'll fail on the emissions, because of the overfuelling...... After learning that the previous owner run a conzult and came bk with code 55 (which i believe is no faults), he thinks that the problem could lie with the o2 sensor(s) (not too sure on if there is one or two). I was just wondering if anyone knows where i could get my hands on them, preferably without going straight to nissan!!! Cheers for any help!!!

Hi there guys, Just signed up to this forum after browsing for quite some time as a guest! I've read lots of articles, and trawled back through all the cars for sale this year. The misses got so fed up she went back to bed...whoops! :rolleyes: Anyway, despite reading loads, there are still a few questions that I have. What are the differences between the UK cars and the Jap imports? I understand that the uk cars suffer from more rust, have more power but are cheaper to insure? Is that right? Are there any other differences? I'm sure I'd want a TT manual, not to fussed on the colours, but is there any more info on whats good or not good to look at buying? …

how many turns of thne key or how long does it take to start your zed, ive noticed in a few threads that some peeps cars take a few turn's or even a few try's before their car actually fires up my car (even though it runs shite lol) literally fires up almost instantly (wether hot or cold), less than half a turn so they say so how long does your's take

first of all my car takes about 3 key turns to start can anyone suggest y? iv changed new plugs+ptu+water sensor+ecu+tested all coil packs and fine+tested cam sensor and fine also fuel pump kicks in as soon as ignition is on!!! also when started there is no smoke but soon as car warms up (not fully) it puffs out white smoke but then clears after when norm temp is reached also when driving there is no smoke at all, but soon as im on lights o stop after a drive it puffs out white smoke can any one tell me y?iv also changed oil and filter oil i used was millers 10/ 40 i think loll

saw a yellow zx parked on pindar road, hoddesdon. herts

since solving me boost leaks i have an annoying problem, when the boost comes in in 1st and 2nd gears it causes wheelspin, which im not too bothered about but when it spins it feels like the rear wheels are bouncing off the road,seems to be worse in the dry, i have had the car in the air at work and there isnt any play in the suspension, could it be time for new rear shocks or even upgrade to coilovers? :confused:

Is there any difference between a Jap spec, 2+2 auto prop, and a UK spec, 2+2 auto prop ?? Centre bearing is on its way out, and got the chance of another prop, but mines is a Jap and the other one is from a UK car. Alan..........
