Im looking at relocating the cruise buttons and changine the switches for something a bit more in keeping with the interior of the zed. Thing is, there are three wires and 3 switches, so does anyone know off the to of their head how the system is wired up? Thanks andy

Any idea how much it would roughly cost to have a TT engine supplied and fitted to my car and who would do it, cars a SWB n/a manual jap import, would still like a manual gear box. Ryan

Just sold my zed, bloke's coming around tomorrow with the rest of the money to take her away, already given me a deposit of £1000. I'm heartbroken, cos I have had to sell her just to pay bloody stamp duty on my first house! I feel inclined to drive it down to Westminster and just hand the bloody keys to Gordon Brown! :cry: Anyway, the good news is I good a good price for it, and the new owner was looking around for ages to find one. He is a newly converted Z nut and will doubtless be on here soon! And the better news is that as soon as I have saved up (ie early next summer) I will be looking for another to grace my new driveway! I have seen some really fantast…

Hi There I spose you all knew this, but until I was on the US NICO Club site just now, I just assumed that most 300's were TT's like here! Apparently no 2 + 2's were ever imported in TT form, and some US owners swapped in the TT engine. Only 2 seaters were imported in TT versions. Well Well- something we have that the Yanks dont!! Regards Dave

Did a search, but couldn't find anything and have a few questions about the centre console and ICE :) My Swiss '93 ZXTT 2+2 manual has a 90's Blaupunkt radio/cassette player in the top mounting and a Fischer cassette storage unit in the space below (don't know if this was an aftermarket thing or in from new). The cable to my boot floor mounted CD changer melted (!) after a track day, and I thought it was a good time for an upgrade. I wanted to take out the cassette storage unit (which I don't use), but there is nothing behind it but the wires of underdash space... :( Ideally, I'd like to have a centre console with one slot for the radio/CD and use the …

hi my brother just imported a r32 gts-t skyline, we checked the ecu and it's got stealth chrome badge on it and stealth seals on the lids, has anybody ever hearld of stealth? we can't find anything online.. We are assuming that any upgrades would have been done in japan! the only other mods are street stainless exhaust turbo timer, but it looks llike a brand new engine, it was owned for 7 years by the jap auction company he bought it through! but didnt get any history with it. cheers Jay

i am thinking of an engine rebuild do any of you do anything like this http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_14&products_id=1056

I have just sent off for my 2nd datascan serial number for my in car laptop but have just had windows die (after a few new software loads :mac1: ) . Im concerned that after i restore an image to the laptop then reinstall datascan that my serial number wont work. Will i be ok? the hardware will be the same and clearly my name and email address will be the same so will it still generate the same activation code string? If not what can i do? Pleading here as i dont want to buy another copy f the software due to an XP system failure!

Hi, I know this has been done to death, but would just like a couple of questions answered is poss... :cool: I have been in contact with pete at nippon auto and just wondered about the quality of his work and the fit on the seats from the the covers he makes etc..before i spend some cash! thanks Mark

Well went to charge my car battery up ready for putting it all back together and testing tomorrow and I turned the garage handle and the cable snapped. So my car is stuck in the garage and I dont have another door. So im fooked now, DOH!!! :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

This mod is as subtle as it gets, but a few have said they aren't keen. One of my big pet hates on the Zed is that horrible finish on the lower parts of the bumpers and sills. It's more noticable on dark coloured cars rather than light colours, you don't really notice on my pearl white, but I just want that even shine rather than the moddled effect. So, I am going to smooth down the bumpers as per Daves_zed. Only difference is, I am going to retain the dark pin-stripe, so it's not noticable so much, just want the lower part not to look poorly finished. I think it looks great and is only noticable to the trained eye. But doesn't stick out.
