HC 118ppm Pass is this good? limit for a fail is 1200ppm LOL tipical zed though worked fine the other day, but when i filled her up to go for the MOT she would not go over 2500RPM my first thoughts were 'oh great fecked MAS' but got to the MOT place, had a play with the wiring and then got called over for the mot early :( thought oh great, but what do you know she was fine, was just a lose connection i just had enough time to reconnec…

Not necessarily right place (sorry) but anyone want to buy my datascan usb cable? My zed was written off and datascan is no use on my GT4. Also got a zed center section modified to take a 7in touchscreen (carputer) and the black rubber bits that go over the sides of the windows (in good condition) Cheers guys Just email me geeky_hawkes@hotmail.com

hi guys i have a uk car and when my ignition is OFF with no key in the barrel, i can turn on my headlights to dipped beam... there is no difference when ignition is on, does this mean i dont have dim-dip? i'm just a little confused thats all. also should the dim-dip relay be next to the battery? if so i just have various holes filled with nissan gromets. thanks darren

Well I'm now nearly £700 lighter after having to replace the gearbox on my Zed. Started making a whining noise a while ago which progressively got louder and then developed a rattle, car sounded like a milkfloat! Took it to the garage with an idea it may have been the lay shaft bearig, turns out the prop had fouled the bush at the back of the box and caused it too slowley leak the gearbox oil all over the road. Which meant it was empty and I actually managed to melt first and second! Big learning point there, alway check your gearbox oil. My fault I know but I have only had it a year. Any way had a replacemet box fitted and coughed up the cash, was feeling…

As above, can anyone tell me are these still available to buy and off who? :)

Im not a stalker, but i think I recognise your GT40 (from your sig) - we're you joining the A3 northbound at about 1500 on Thursday? I think you then came off at Purbrook? I was driving something interesting too (not my 300zx)... but the GT40 sounded better! Dave

got a kenwood double din stereo that i want to sell. cant use ebay and since z32's arent double din its very unlikely anyone on here will want to buy. so any ideas where i can advertise it on the net? thanks

What psi is the fuel on a X32 TT, & if the boost is raised does this affect the pressure of the fuel line ?

Looking for Spec on the VG20DET..came from the Nissan Cedric/Gloria/Leopard ... I am reparing a cedric that came with one and noticed it redlines at 7700 RPM :shock: so i am looking for specs on the heads like cam lift and duration etc

Hi Guys, feel a bit of a twit asking this but my PC is really starting to do my head in now!! I can't view anything from YouTube or any other sites that depend on Adobe Flash Player... It says I either have java script turned off which I don't or am not running the latest flash player so I've clicked links to download the Latest Flash Playr and it comes up Flash successfully installed but still can't view any videos!!! Any idea why my PC won't let me view video stuff etc? Many thanks!!!

Just a quickie folks, when I nail it and the wheels start spinning the back end starts banging and hopping about, is this due to the subframe bushes being knackered? Or could I be looking at something more sinister?

it was about 7.20am, he was heading west and he had alloys and a low level spoiler Nick

Anyone interested in swapping wheels with me? 17" Nismo LM 2-piece split rim alloys with pretty much 4 brand new goodyear eagle F1 tyres on all around. Pic's below: Ideally after dark wheels to suit the car but will consider all wheels. Does anyone know how much my wheels are worth?

.......Yay another pass for my Zed :dance: That's 5 in a row now - no problem :cool: Richard :)

My Zed has just failed its MOT on this bush and also needs a some welding for the first time, but then again it is a UK :rolleyes: Is it a rear sub-frame bush? any help appreciated

My old zed was an Auto, with a manual conversion so smaller turbos, Mines ecu, ss exhaust and Apexi filter and 1mm boost jests My new zed is a 92 Auto, standard ecu, same ss exhaust and same Apexi air filter - no boost jets. Now I know my auto will feel slower than the manual, but it feels LOADS slower. How much difference in power will the mines ecu and 1mm jets make? How much to have them fitted to my new car? Who makes the best modified ECU for my set up?

Hi guys and gals! Can anyone recommend a cheap courier/pallet company? I have an engine, rad, side skirts and rear bumper which I need to transport from Alford in Lincolnshire to my part of the country (Bath area!). I haven't needed to use one before, but am thinking that it'd probably be more expensive to get one from my area, or one of the more well known companies! But, who knows? I could be awfully wrong!! Cheers, Simon

Does anybody know if a cat back Turbo exhaust, will fit a N/A Zed.

is the halfords tint spray any good for tinting side lights and how dark do they go?

Hi, Decided to fit the Uk spec rear belts to the back of my ZX today. Everything was fine until I came to bolt the first belt in. The belt's mechanism keeps locking and I can't figure out how to stop the belt retracting and locking in place permanently! I took the yellow lever mechanism off the side of the reel, to have a look at that and the belt runs free... but nothing seems to stop it locking...as soon as I reattach it? Any ideas...??? Cheerz, Jez

Just been looking around for some insurance quotes god it's a laugh I can tell you :rolleyes: Used confused .com, bless them they tried on my behalf of 12 companies two only quoted average of 600 to 700 pounds that's with 4 years no claims, immobiliser, parked on the driveway , fully comp , mods declared and 3 points for speeding and me as named driver tried elephant over 750 pounds My current insurer at the moment is the policy shop(my broker) Policy Shop Website been using Sabre for a number of years, every year they just get better and better, under 500 last year when my tire blew up in 2002 my insurance was 1300 pounds ...owch! So I expect i…

It's the same one as in this link I didn't get the instructions cos it was a freebie but the installation was pretty straight forward apart from one wire (grey) which I'm not sure where to connect it to but the timer lights up ok. Now, when I put it on 30sec or any other time, it wont switch the car off but when I press the off button then it switches it off. Could this be because of the grey wire? Also (with timer on) when I get out of the car and press the remote fob, it locks the car but it wont activate the alarm on. Any ideas?

I have the cruise control button on my right pod, but an aftermarket momo stearing wheel, so no buttons to activate it! is there anyway I can get it back? as it would be quite handy!
