ive noticed when i slow down for a set of lights for example and i dip the clutch the car almost cuts out and i have to rev the car a tad to stop it any ideas?

Just put my zed into hibernation until easter :cry: Who else does this!! Dave

my insurance on my zed was coming up for renewal. Did a search here and started phoneing round, ended up at A-plan (01635 874646) and saved £300 on my adrian flux renewal quote. Friendly staff, helpful AND cheap quote with decent cover! If your insurance is due cant hurt to try them!

Can't get my reverse lights to work for love nor money :mac1: The only thing I can think of is that I have mistakenly plugged the neutral position sensor or reverse switch in each others place? Is this possible or are the connectors idiot proof! Cheers

Okay chaps Cybernet due to other commitments has asked me to get us organised. So I need to know who to expect roughly so I can get the right size spot. I will be there early in order to get our club spot. If you need my number PM me and please confirm with me. Thanking you in advance Eileen :D

You were heading North as I was going South. I was playing with the GPS and only noticed you flash out of the corner of my eye, I waved out of the window though.

hi iv just noticed a funny little gurgling sound coming from my drivers wing and brake master cylinder area does anyone have any idea of what could cause this? i would have asked my mate clarkey as we live next to each other but he's gone back to uni :slap:

Any ideas chaps? Got in the Z this morning, started her up, and tried to put it in reverse(manual box). No joy, can't move the gearstick any further back than neutral. 1st 3rd and 5th work fine, but it feels like theres something blocking 2nd 4th and reverse. About a month ago, I had a new clutch fitted. Just wondering if maybe something (the gate or whatever) has come loose and is interfering with the shift.. Anybody had anything similar? got any ideas?

What is the best price you can get these at and do they wire straight in or is the loom different? Anyone got these and then put HID's on main beam too? Chris

Haven taken best part of Sunday to remove the intake manifold and the heads. What a horrible fiddly job!!!! In order to replace the head gasket. Is it worth replacing the valves with uprated ones, and the injectors, As checking the condition of the injectors on removal, they all seem to be corrided, and brittle. When removing the parts, under the intake manifold, found it bloody hard work to get to most of them. is there anyway of bypassing any of the pipes to make installation easier.

Any body got instructions of how to fit a mocal oil cooler for jap spec tt to swap it with the autobox cooler.Got mine off a member with no instructions. It's like this one. http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=21_52_46&products_id=191

Always a bit of a worry! But as usual, it's a Nissan, rear disks and pads, inner front track rods, new front springs (optional, fed up with it scraping along the ground, might help the crap camber!). Sorted £400, another years driving, ain't Nissans so reliable? Unless you .uck about with them take them to 'expert tuning houses' that know how to improve on Nissans original spec!

Hi Guys My car is giving me trouble and it's really strange. I drove to Plymouth on Friday and the car overheated 4 times. Yeah I know what you are thinking, why did I carry on driving. Well I'm sure I know what the problem is. Where the cap fits onto the rad the plastic has worn away and the cap doesn't fix on properly. So when she gets hot the pressure must force up the cap and the water is getting out there. So I just kept stopping at certain intervals and letting her cool down before I topped her up again. Anyway I thought that I would drive back in the middle of the night to avoid traffic and the heat. On the way back she didn't over heat onc…

Hi all.. Well I've got my car back on it's wheels after the smash but my Master cylinder appears to be leaking where the res joins the master cylinder. I just wondered if any of you knew if you get a seal kit for this ?? Craig

Hi, i have steam coming from the drivers side of the engine, the leak must be higher than the manifold/turbo as i can hear it drip on them, any ideas what i could be please? And if its the plenum hoses, can you bypass without removing the plenum? Just had another look, and its dripping onto the turbo in line with the turbo's water feed/banjo bolt. Had to leave the car at my mums, think i'll wedge the didgy camera in and take a snap, see if that shows me anything! Thanks Steve

:confused: After running the Zed for nearly two years without any problems at all. I was shocked the other night to find after starting the car, then turning the headlights on. After about ten seconds the dipped beam, side lights, rear lights, interior lights all went out whilst the main bean immediately turned on. After that I could not get anything to work bar the main beem. I couldn't even turn the main beam off with the stork. After eventually finding the right fuse down in the drivers side foot well, only to find it blown. Changed it & all was fine. The next few days were ok untill last night after driving about a mile down the road it happened again. All lights …
