I'm calling it a day with the zed, it let me down big time again last night. I won't be inflicting it on any of the members on here it'll be an ebay special as i wouldn't wish it on anyone else. I'll be putting it back to stock form, standard exhaust, air box and wheels etc. It's done 118,000KM (72,000Miles), it doesn't smoke when you're driving just a little on start up after a short trip the day before (which'll stop again when the stock exhausts go on) Its got leather seats, only faults are the rear windscreen element is knackered and the aircon belt is missing so aircon may or may not work. 12 months tax put on the other week and a few months MOT…

Hello All, Going to change the tension rods on my zed to an adj set, how do i go about fitting these, can i just unbolt the old ones and whack the new ones in, i know i will need an alignment afterwards, but will the suspension collapse or something when i take the old ones out, or can i just put it on stand and change them ike for like. If someone can let me know how difficult it is that would be great, Cheers Dutchy

Loads of names say yes to the Z Parade over here but getting money of them makes me wonder whether the horse is dead but hey with 80 Z/ZX owners paid up to date (but not that many from here) I noticed a slight twitch in the animal Clock is running to get reduced tickets and separate track time

Just wanted to introduce myself as i have just become the proud owner of my first zed.Its a blue tt slicktop and i love it to bits. :hyper: There will probably be lots of daft questions coming your way in the near future. Ki

a friend purchased me the manual for a 300, but the one he purchased was one for a Z31 because apparently that's the only manual they make for the 300s. would the information be the same for a Z31 as it is for a Z32? edit: this is not the owners manual, it's the Hanes Repair Manual anyone know?

currently having my wheels refurbed and getting the lip re-polished (and the chunks missing sorted out) they are split rims so and I'm thinking about doing the centres black.... and just wanted peoples opinions?

Radio has been in for a while and noise continues even after the complete unit has been removed, Tried a charger /starter thingy an…

I had originally modded my back lights with the clear diffuser stuff, but after "test driving" Paul's 99 spec lights, I decided to do them properly this time.... If you seperate them completely, rather than just pulling them half apart to get the orange strip out, you can remove the grey plastic section. I used some of that chrome paint from B&Q (same paint I used for my headlights), which is pretty close to the 99 spec effect. For the black lines, Paul gave me a section of plain black Vinyl. To cut the strips, I taped together two small stanley knifes, with about a 2.5 mill gap. Then I just ran the blades down the vinyl several times to give me my stri…
