well nearly when driving from a cold start, the car nearly cuts out when i dip the clutch, then when pulling away it hesitates and starts to what sounds like a slight miss, then whe warm the idle sometimes sits at 2000 rpm, but bliping the throttle will send the revs back to normal (it still hesitates when pulling away) also if accelerating hard from standstill then go into second gear, wheni try to accelerate again (in second gear) it feels like there is no power at all (as if some limiter is stopping me from accelerating any ides p.s would driving with tps dissconected determin if it was that that was at fault (also the same with disconecting temp s…

Hi, I have bought a trust oil cooler from kirbz with its sandwich plate, which attaches in between the oil filter and the block. My question being, do you just get rid of the old oem one and block off the oil feeds to the oem one bearing in mind the trust one connects to its sandwich plate via its own piping etc ? Mark

I have been without my zed for one whole month and I can't take it any longer. I am about to burst! no other car for less than 10k can give you so much... so I am looking for another one. My question is what is the best year to go for? My guess is a '95/96 since thats the latest year we can get now... but is it? is any particular year have mods more desireable than other years? I know 99 spec is great - but I can't get hold of one so serious answers only please!

Need some pointers here guys.......I was reversing my N/A back up my drive, just dipped the clutch a little and the engine cut out, started back up first tun of the key and continued to reverse up the drive, stopped and put hand brake on and let the car idle......the revs began rising and falling 1500 down to 500 for about 30 seconds then settled back to normal (850ish), the engines done many things, which I've sorted with little problem, in the past but never this........... any ideas Pete

I`m looking to replace a set of tyres and have heard some good reviews of Falken FK-451`s, what is the difference between them and the FK-452`s??? Apart from price - the FK-452`s being a few quid cheaper (tbh I`m not too bothered about the price difference and I wouldn`t let it sway me from one brand to another unless it was a huge amount) Has anyone used both if so which did you prefer?? Specifically I`m interested in wet weather performance ( I do live in Sotland after all :rolleyes: ) Also can anyone compare them with Toyo Proxes T1-R. Apologise for bringing this subject up again as I seem to remember something similar not that long ago but cant …

Hey guys, Does anyone have the slightest clue how to tell the difference betweenn the jspec wheels and the Uk spec ones. Before you say width, i know.

My mot certificate is one letter out on the registration. Basically it ends with a g instead of a h. I tried to renew my tax online but it didn't work, maybe because my mot details are under the wrong reg? Anyway do you think I'll have a problem getting my tax over the counter? Al

My Zed, although a 1995, does not have electric seats so I have bought an old drivers seat with the electrics in good working order and now want to transfer these electrics to my drivers seat (which is in excellent condition). I was advised on an earlier thread that it wasn't difficult. Would anyone who has done this conversion please give me some advice as I have looked at both seats and, to be honest, it doesn't look an easy job at all. Dave

My TPS is only reading 0.23 volts at idle and 1.89volts at WOT. If i adjust the TPS to 0.42 volts idle, at WOT it still only reads 1.93 volts :rolleyes: Gearbox diag is giving me a code 3 (Tps) Engine idle fine 800rpm and nice steady pickup when touching gas pedal. I still believe the TPS is faulty as i cant even get it to read over 2 volts at WOT even after cleaning all the connectors and checking/testing wiring. Any idea's other than a replacement?

Just got home from work as karen pulled up in Z saying steering felt weird. started it back up and it let go big time, with pas fluid pouring out. Jacked up car and got karen to put fluid in with me under. poured straight out again looks like its coming directly from pump pulley area. :cry: was hard to see clearly even with torch. is there a pipe that runs very close to (just above) pump pulley? Is it likely to be pump itself. if yes is it easy job to do. ie not cambelt off etc. well fed up as it sailed through mot last saturday. any help/advice appreciated cheers nick p.s. anyone got 2nd hand pump for sale :cry: :cry:

i am in the process of smoothing the stone chip effect on my pearl white 1995 zx, i sent the petrol flap with a note saying nissan 1995 (like i always do)to the paint shop when i was ordering paint so they could get me a good match, when they delivered the paint it says honda pearl white and looks like a good match. i have been painting for years and have a body shop but have never experienced anything like this before. i was just wondering if any owners of pearl white zx's have had problems when ordering and getting a good paint match on their pearl white z.
