I am planning on doing my plenum bypass this week or the next, i want to use blue silicone hose for the cooling hoses and also for the vacuum hoses, as i plan to change all my hoses (eventually) to blue. I have found a link posted previously and it says i need the following. 4 feet of 6mm fuel line or water hose 3 feet of 6mm vacuum line 2 feet of 4mm vacuum line Can someone tell me where i can purchase these items, i can get the vacuum lines from Smithy but i would rather purchase it all together and as far as i can tell Smithy only sells the vacuum line and i have been told this is no good to use as coolant hose. Any help would be much appreciated. Many th…

what pads do most people recommend to go on the fronts of a zed? had EBC redstuffs on previous cars and been pretty happy with them. the discs are grooved aftermarket. Dont want to spend the earth but want something that is reliable and safe for non-track use.

Hi It was about 9:30am Saturday morning 02/06/07, you were in your black Zed and I was in a red Luxus waiting to turn right just before the Sainsburys - St Claire's in Hampton Hill. I gave you the thumb, but I'm not sure you noticed. Spencer

Firstly a big thanks to steve burns and all involved in the arranging of the event. Good job in the shop mr Sulley.

(were you still putting your centre console back together on the parade lap? ;)) Thanks to turboz for offering to swap his momo millenium steering wheel for my lovely wooden... erm... thing!

Right i am now after a new full 300ZX TT SWB exhaust system that makes a big noise. But they are very rare. Blueflame who are very good i hear can do one for £800. But i have seen TT performance exhausts on flea bay for £300. I want a nice growly exhaust system for less than £400..?

Very simple question it's laughable but seeing as I'm totally ill, I'll have to ask. Oil pressure gauge sender started leaking so I have replaced with another, the replacement has a ground on it. I have wired it as you would, but when I turn the ignition on the needle just shoots right over. I have turned the 2 wires around sender and ground but still does the same. I know this is so simple but can't think, lol Thought I'd do a quick job on the car last night as I wanted to be active as I've been in bed and doin nothing till last thursday. The sender and the gauge both have grounds on but are not grounded together. many thanks

Just getting my Z ready for Le Mans and thought i would share, Bought Silkolene pro S 10w/50w and it is fantastic £45 delivered from Opie Oils :hyper: And Front Tension Rod Bushes (whiteline) from Luke @ Zcentre £30 + vat :hyper: The car feels amazing and all for under £100 Bargain (just thought i would let you all know) :hyper: :D If anyone wants to see our Lemanbulance go to http://www.themadmile.com/

got these of ebay, anyway went to fit them, obviously the fitment regarding the plug is different, so cut them of and wired them in got the first one in ok and it appeared to be working ok(flashed when alarm) anyways tried the other side and the f***er wouldnt have it which ever way i put the wires. anyways now its fooked my alarm central locking, well pissed off, should hae been an easy job, anyone got these repeaters, or fitted before???, think it might be a polarity issue, but electrics really not my thing, any ideas chaps???

Hello All, Strange problem going on, now and then in no particular interval my zed decides to dump aload of coolant, this is coming from the front left where the expansion tank is. The level in the coolant tank reads way above the "H" mark in fact its almost full???? The car never overheats, temp always good, no H.G. issues. I cant understand it, is it just a case of the tank being overfilled?? ive never had to touch the cooling system before, but like i said the car does it when it pleases but doesnt overheat. Any ideas will be appreciated

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.
