After some Pikey Zed owner decided to ripp the left front windscreen seal off my mota...Chipped the paint and cracked the windscreen...And after waiting 6 weeks for a replacment seal to arrive... i now realise, because the inserts that hold the seals in place are also fooked, i now must replace the windscreen... I hope this cheep pikey fukwit's Zed owner's next shite is a hedgehog! Any ideas on where i can get a new windscren done as cheep and as soon as poss'?(I'm a tad fed up with waiting 6 weeks for parts to arrive on these cars.)

Over the past couple of days there has been loads of threads with pics of your zed's in the sun just washed and polished...all of them looking great... ..STOP IT !... its not fair :cry: David (Very jealous right now...and feeling slightly depressed about it!)

How have other people removed these? I have a pair ready to go on but I'm a bit stumped in removing the old ones as it looks rather tight for a spanner. Do they just unscrew? Cheers

Tried to contact 300zxstyling by email to get a price on the wide arches with side skirts but had no reply. I couldnt see a phone number on the website. Would anyone know the price or better still have a phone number for them please. Ant

this is probably a stupid question but here goes anyway, Are all the engines in the zed the VG30 type??? Its just that on some websites that engine appears to have its own section

What a ****ing nightmare this is turning out to be :cry: checked double checked triple checked if got the right wire on ECU spliced into it connected other end to earth reconnected battery reset ecu with datascan started up Code 34 :cry: :cry: :cry: Attached a pic of wire used, can anyone verify its the right one :rolleyes:

Strange title i know; but Marcus and me well mainly me as marcus has a good excuse cos he's in a wheel chair, are doing a trans fluid drain from Auto box, after we killed it at Oulton the other week end. :slap: We have read the thread on this but were wondering if any one could through some light on the stuff we have recovered from the sump filter, see attached pic. It is sort of fibre based and has very few metal particals in it. Has any one some thoughts on this. We are planing to put some new fluid in(as it is not possible to change all due to Torque convert holding some) The plan is then to drop the fluid after a short time to see if th…

Hello, What do think about this then???? Went up to see my mechanic today to speak about ecu upgrades for my zed, What he came up with was this, to have what he described as a stand alone ecu, which will actively contol every aspect of the cars performance, this he said is laptop compatible and contol every thing from ignition re-tardation to boost, getting rid of all the unneccesary wiring which is renound in jap spec cars.This inturn will make any remapping a whole lot easier and more accurate for the engine, so as i upgrade peice by piece the ecu will always be ok to handle the extras. The guy in question has an excellent motor sport background, any thought…

The zed is going back on the road tommorow but my indicators don't work all the other lights ie side,main,fog,and even the hazzard lights work i've checked all fuses and even had the stalk out but can't find anything please please please help if you can i;m desperate to drive her. thanks in advance.

Anyone with conzult in the west mids area that would mind checking out my car? I'm occasionally getting a miss-fire and juddering below 2.5krpm also not boosting properly, as soon as I hit 3krpm its fine and the car accelerates as normal. My air filter fell apart when trying to clean it the other week and i've just purchased an apexi power intake from dta which i'll be fitting today. It's almost as if not enough fuel is being injected at that point. Could it be a faulty maf? If the maf was to be the problem, wouldnt it happen all the time? Dirty injectors? Last night I got a little scared as I heard a kind of knocking sound which appeared to com…

My Zed has an interesting light set up, just wondering if this is normal. I've had a look on the "jap vs US vs Europe" list and then had a long look at my lights, and mine doesnt match! When I turn the fog lamps on, (main switch, i.e the rotary one is of) the dash lights come on, and what i presumed were the tail lights along with the fog lamps (front lights in the bumper) When the rotary switch is turned to the first position (with the foglamps of) we get dash lights, tail lights and a very dim bulb in foglamp is illuminated In the second position as above with head lights. (smaller lense in the main "bonnet" light) Then full beam works fine from the indic…

Hello, Just landed myself a set of spl upper arms as the oem ones were rubbish with quite abit of play of play in them, I'm looking to fit these my self along with the new tension rods I have. I,m pretty good with the spanners, but would like to know how difficult it will be for me to fit the new arms?? I know i will need an alignment afterwards but its the initial fitting i'm interested in. If someone could shed some light on the matter i would be most greatful. Cheers Dutchy.

What am I going to have to take out the car. Got the box on in the garage, obviously, pedal, master cylinder, slave cylinder. Just wondered what else?

YIPPEE! after lots of grief have finally fixed the speedo,took a final clout to the head to settle the connections but so far so good,for anyone having a go at fixing theirs don`t be afraid.I ended up soldering a new loom in as bullet connectors gave a poor connection,running it up the gearbox over the prop & then drilling a hole in the mounting plate under the gear stick having first tie wrapped loom to the brake lines,upto the cluster and then soldered into replacement wire connectors.Big thanks to all that offered help,advice and their time.So good to be back on the road,can finally make a meet! :dance:
