I have a water leak in this area of the engine bay .... The water seems to be coming from near the join on this pipe (the one with the big red arrow near it coincidentally)... Once disconnected the metal pipe has a lot of corrosion near the end, as can be seen hear (luckily again a big red arrow happened to be right next to the affected area) .... I have put a new clip on the pipe to try and minimise the leak but water is still coming out. So I want to get both the hard pipe off and the rubber pipe to inspect for leaks. Does anyone know where the other ends of the pipes are so I can take them off to inspect. I am guessing the hard pipe …

Does anyone have a list of the std zed settings for use with Conzult? ie the std set of values that the car operates under. Cheers

Well I've had my Zed on the road for 8 weeks.... On Friday morning between the hours of 07:30 and 10:30, so theiving 5h1t, came down my drive and STOLE the 'Z' badge from the hood of my car.... I mean WHY... It's not like its a status symbol, gangster rap thing or even paricularly pretty but it was my zed badge from my car.... Now I have a circle of stick black stuff that spoils the look of the car until I get a bog standard nissan badge...no bugger wants one of them. On a positive, it has saved weight.... :) about 4 oz.

I was on the motorway yesterday and saw a puff of smoke in the rear mirror so stopped. the smoke was from the back of thbe engine and not the zorst. No warning lights on, engine temp ok. I let it cool down on the hard shoulder and cruised home. Had no probs after that and have all the gears and overdrive working. Was giving it some welly at the tome so was thinking maybe the auto box?? Going to warm it up and check the levels in a minute. Anyone had anything similar??

Evening peeps, Am finally getting my camber woes under control, and now my beloved Zed is eating my battery. I originally thought it was a knackered battery, as it was fine left on her own for up to 10 days - 2weeks to which she would be pretty flat. bought a new battery, and seemed fine - but the same problem is now reoccuring. thing is, the battery life is getting worse - its now dropped from 10 days to around 5 - darn thing couldnt even start today. Im guessing a bad earth - but any ideas what could eat the battery like this?

Here are some pics of my crank to show the mark i described on the big end bearing at the front of the crank. there are 2 marks on the bearing journal and 1 nasty bite to the bit above one of the marks. there are a few pics to show these from different angles.

Scatch that :nelson: Search was my friend. Can a mod delete please :)

Is the japanse model the same as the european? Know the steering wheel is on the other side... But is the engine bay the same? Thinking about wires and stuff... I recon the rest of the car is the same... Thinking about importing a part car from japan..

Ive got a pair of HKS sequential BOVS (second hand) and up untill an hour ago I had every part for them, Hohever I needed to replace the very small pipes on them so I went to my local very small pipe shop and he sold me a piece of pipe for me to cut and fit, got back home and started fitting the pipes when I realised that one of the little connectors (the disk shaped one that you attach the small pipe to either side of) has gone missing, either Ive left it in the shop or the dog has ate it, how important is this part? I thought it may be just a connector but when I looked at the other one it isnt just a straight through pipe so im assuming there is something important in …

had oil changed about 3 weeks ago, but noticed the car smokes alot (not when warmed up, its not too bad when warmed up) i used a halfords oil filiter and 15w 40 oil the smoke wasnt there before the oil change is 15w 40 more likely to cause smoke? my mechanic says some Forte Seal Conditoner should help if its the stem valves but if i was to change the oil to 0W 40 would it help the smoking (considering its thinner oil it shouldnt but who knows) their is no performance loss whatsoever and the car boosts the same, its just a bit smokey for 10mins or so
