I'm supposed to be fitting my Profec B EBC on Saturday, has anyone got a fitting guide? Yes I've done a search and yes I found a guide but...........not having lived around zeds for years I haven't got a clue what half the stuff is that it's going on about!!!!!!!! :confused: I'm not a complete dimwit when it comes to motors so I'm not scared to fit it myself unless it's recommended that a pro do it. Better still, is there anyone who would be willing to travel to Fareham to give me a hand? Please :hyper: :D I've got a warehouse to work in so it doesn't matter about the weather and there's as much tea and coffee as you can drink, I reckon I could even shout lunch and th…

Today seen in Nottingham Going round Aspley Island then down Aspley Lane at about 14.45

Hi Folks, I have found a nice standard Zed that I am interested in but it has an Auto box fitted. I have obviously driven many Auto cars over the years but am just wondering how the old Zed goes with one fitted? Is the kickdown good on them? Can you hold the box down in the low numbers long enough when booting it? How about through twisty corners? Has anyone done the Nurburgring in one? Cheers for now Dave...

ones i ordred arrived yesterday and they have no holes etc but the metal brackets are broke on one and the have some denting on the corners where something has been left on them or been hit with something - someone must have a decent set somewhere PLEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Right i dunno what has happened but i fitted some dumpvalves last weekend and a few days later shes playin up. in order to get the old dumpvalves off i had to uncilp the fan at the front. its all back together and working now and when im driving the fan seems to come on while im driving, and the car seems to get really hot, the temp guage next to the dials goes into the red and i s**t myself. ive got a slight leak in my water pump but i make sure that shes topped up wiv water. can anyone help me, wots goin on?????

Noticed on another thread about people a55ed off with seatbelts not retracting properly. Isnt there an electrical connection under the seat that operates a tightener in the door for the seatbelt or am I just spouting crap.......

Took my car off for an MoT and it's failed on the emissions side of things. Namely the hydrocarbon, CO is fine sitting in at a nice 0.868. Anyone got any idea why my hydrocarbon would be so high? It's like 6410 and the max is 1200! :wack:

Cant beleive what Ive just found :p I wish we could all get that kinda money :D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-NISSAN-300-ZX-2-2-RED_W0QQitemZ320083533988QQihZ011QQcategoryZ18238QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

All, as a part of getting another zed i have to satisfy the missus with certain criteria. The one that is proving the hardest to prove is: can you get a baby seat into the back of a zed? if you can, has anyone got any pics so i can show her. In not then it looks like an evo is going to have a white wash on the practicality stakes cheers nick

My car has a noise that I can't put my finger on, its a running gear noise. When in a strait line I get a grumble, rumble, vibration that gets worse when I put right hand lock on the stearing wheel. Now I would call it wheel brg but for the fact that as soon as I put a slight bit of left lock on it goes, and i mean a very slight, I think its a wheel brg but wondered if anyone has come across this before. Cheers, Scrawni.

Wasted all morning going backwards and forwards with the likes of Halfords and Eurocarparts trying to get a decent battery for the z. Anyone got any ideas? I've got 2 amps running my sound system so want quite a strong one that fits. Andy

hello all, i know this has been discuss many time on here and USA forum but wanted to really know who tryed them? Who really flow tested them? because when i see the seller profil i wonder why he has 99.8% positif and he is a power seller !!! => http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/tlfsupra89/ I've sent email to some customer who bought the 740cc, so will see what they think about them :p Any one in UK flow test injectors?

:rant: Just my luck, left for work early this morning got 500 yards down the road when the wiper linkage popped of. Drove home to do a quick repair which didn't work, had to drive to work in the pouring rain with just the passenger side wiper connected :nono: got there 30mins late. Have splashed (excuse the pun) out on a brand new one from dealer which should arrive on Saturday, managed to swap the linkage round at work so hopefully it will not fall of going home!

Need help urgent Keys have locked themselvsw in the ignition with wipers and lights running. I don't have a spare set (DOW) How do I get into the car. PM me rather than posting. Darrell

As some of you may know i've lost £350 towards a set of R33 Calipers sold by a chap on the GTR forum. He goes by the name of Nigel Zingler and gives false address details and contact numbers he also uses a hotmail account in the name of TollZingler. The Police in Plymouth are now aware of this and have had a further x4 complaints all relating to the same guy based in Plymouth. If he does appear on here do not give or transfer any money to him....Nat West fraud dept. are also in contact with the Police who will supply any information they need today. However if by chance anyone does get a legitamate address or contact number for him please let me know a…

im fitting new dials today hopefully and wondered how to remove then safely as ive heard that it can be tricky!? :confused:

Got this fitted the other day, Was just wondering on things like getting air to it. I take it i leave the splash guard where it was? Also i think I may of read somwhere about covering or blocking 2 pipes on the N/A as its just lost air ? Obviously theres a new nose panel with vents in I need to get as well

Has anyone here binned the re-circ valves on there car. I was thinking of do this and just blocking the hoses up, I have seen this done on 200sx without problems other that compressor stall noises. What do you think?

I'm thinking of removing the cover under the bonnet as after 16 years it looks rather tired. Will this affect the paint or can you gt something else to reflect the heat like foil?

My imported zed speedo is in kmph Is there any kind of digital device i can get about as big as a boost controller which would sit on my steering wheel column just by the speedo and calculate my speed in mph? I just want a little digital display which shows me how fast i'm going rather than me having to convert the clocks/speedo over. Links to mentioned products? i.e - ebay. Any help appreciated.
