Z on the Detling Sheerness road tonight 23:15 ish K2 NWA red looked good

Hi all , Hope every ones had a great day , been a while since I have been on here due to working away from home. My car has been in daily use, and apart from the front seats the car is almost finished to how I want it. The engine has been running well up to about 2 days ago. starting from cold its all lumpy and almost stalls, after about 5 minutes its like normal. I have checked the TPS with a multimeter that seems fine, ive not pulled any codes as yet.. could it be anything else which I could check myself? I do know the coil pack connectors are brittle and loose which may not help so if anyone knows where I can buy new from in the UK or even on herte may…

So what do you guys think a zed weight is in all its glory? Lwb,manual,with ice fitted,air conditioning,( one of Lee Dents favourite items..lol)and spare wheel??? Do you want to hazard a guess:)in kilos please:)

i'm looking at converting the zed to electric cooling fan rather than the viscous unit, i've found a package for around £80, it includes a 38mm top hose adpator with the temp controller in, and a 14" fan (i have the upgraded alloy rad) the kit however only does 2 temp ranges so not sure if either are suitable for the zed it run either at 87 degs on 83 degs off or 92 degs on and 87 degs off would either of the ranges suit the zed? other issue relates to the seat belt series 1 j-spec type when driving i notice the belt is going loose, it's not on the top mount causing this, if i tug on the belt twice just above where is come out of the door card it pulls tight again, w…

So think I just bagged myself a bargain buy : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251978649888 Made an offer of £150 for a buy now and it got accepted. I did notice that the ebayer was in the US and that the box was I Japanese but I thought what the hell. Ordered mid day yesterday and it showed up today so he must have a UK dispatch. Looks genuine to me apart from the manual and box being in Japanese but hey so was my zed. :)

I noticed a big pool of water under my car as i got to work this morning and noticed a slash in my overflow bottle. probably where my tyres rubbed against the bottle. i have unplugged the hose from the bottom of the bottle and plugged this up and refilled the radiator with coolant. will this be ok to drive for a few days ? or is this essential i plus this back in and fix the bottle asap ? thanks

http://ebay.us/JnOdV3 Seriously, a, does the seller actually think he'll get £55 for 2 chrome plated plastic bits . And,b, is there really a member on site ,who would pay it!. I mean, I like a bit of bling but I also like value for money. Rant over. Rich

I wondered if anyone has any suggestions. Car sitting in the garage (and has been for some time) and they're not sure where to go next. We going on a rolling road this week to see if we can identify the fault. When car is driven it won't rev above 3000rpm in all gears so pulling away is a nightmare. You can rev in like mad when in neutral. I replaced all the injectors and the car was working fine. I have changed the entire engine wiring loom so all the connectors actually connect. 3 of the 6 coil packs have been replaced with new I have a new MAF so it's not that Just before the problem started I was driving throttling down and something wen…

The zeds been stood up for nearly 2 years and the breaks are worse for wear now so need replacement. So what's the best for under or around the £200 mark ? Any recommendations ?

:thumbdown::angry: So, as we all know, the perspex strip on the boot is very fragile, so much so that I said i'd speak to my local Nissan Dealer about ordering one in for me, I figured if it was €20-€30 more than from the UK it would be worth getting it to avoid getting a box of shards. They quoted me €650!!! but they said that they'd give me a 12% discount if I bought all my parts for the Z from them:cursing: Yeah!! Like that's gonna happen!! I was going to go the route of Perspex strip with a 99 spec rear spoiler as the Twinz stuff is so hard to get hold of at a reasonable shipping price, F*CK THAT! It would actually work out nearly cheaper to fly down to Peru and pic…

So it was my birthday the other and bless my brother in law i think he got the prize for best wrapping paper ever.

while at Jimmers the old Exhaust ( apparently custom made by a well respected ex trader on heres expert friend ) and at a considerable amount of money i may add had to come off ...well this is what he found, to say i was shocked is an understatement i have sat on these for some months now pondering if i should post them or not ..anyway let you all be the judge ....

Hi gents As titled, where is a good place to buy new O2 sensors from? There are sensors on eBay for £30 each but would these be of poor quality? Any advice welcome. Thanks

Evening all A quick one for those who have smoothed the stone guard on the rear bumpers themselves. Can you enlighten me on what grit sand paper/wet and dry you started with and progressed to. I've not had a go yet but knowing how much plastic can clog up sand paper, I'm interested to know what everyone found whilst doing their own Cheers Nick

I've had a broken engine harness clip for a while now and want to replace it (buy a few a of them for safe measure)! I've trawled Nissan4U and Courtesy, but can't find it anywhere. If anyone knows (AndrewG maybe), I'd be most grateful. It clips onto the rigid boost line that runs long the right hand side of the plenum. It holds the main harness.

Interesting after detailing my Z always kept in garage after a month I always experienced the stupid dust or a cat´s finger prints on the car...didn´t want to spend over $180 on a car cover but found this..what do ya´ll think? http://www.autoinparts.com/Vehicle_Body_&_Paint_Protection-Clear_Polythene_Car_Covers/c1001_1280/index.html

After having LED lights on some external aspects I've decided to go back to incandescent bulbs. I'll keep my remaining interior LEDs...I think and certainly I'll be getting Groover to install them all in my dash and pods. However, I find that the blue hue emitted from 'super white' conventional LED replacement blubs such as the 501 bulbs found in the sidelights and number plate illumination looks decidedly 'boyracer-ish'. I'm also removing the 6000k HIDs I fitted about 6 years ago and replacing them with 4300k - again (in my brand new headlights), MUCH less of a blue hue and should give better light output, much whiter and shouldn't clash too much with the regular in…

Hi all, I have spotted 2 loose connectors in my engine bay, can anyone tell me what they're for? Thanks

Anychance you can get a pair of these that sit flush with the bodywork?

So my series 4 original loom has the sender to the passenger side and previously I've sacrificed the original location and functionality of the gauge to install my after market one. Now that I've installed a new harness I have an additional plug back on the drivers side. That's great news as the oem gauge and after market will work but my issue is now after I took the bolt off the oil tree it seems the steering rack is in the way so I can't seem to fit it. Does anyone have a pic so I can see it installed ? Hopefully I don't have to remove the steering rack just to install the sender unit.

Fitted my stereo today. Took at look at the speakers in thee front door and in the boot. Absolutely shocked on the workmanship of how these speakers have latterly just been thrown in. Like realised after the didn't fit and just let them hang and float there. I understand that ones in the front have a triangle fitment (Bose) The rear ones are round but unsure what size. Could be 6.5. I am interested in what sound setups people have done with both fronts and rears Ideally I'm thinking components in the front and mid/bass in the boot. Not a massive fan of sub woofers but I will had one if really lacking bass. But not essential. So com…

Been working on 2 x sets of these for people both have been done identical. I have fitted amber/white switchback tube lights before on these carmad 99 inserts but this is different again, perhaps it's usp is the fact there is stealth amber indication in there, not visible at all when off, in fact I think I've retained the factory look. The amber light can be used to supplement another amber signal on the front or stand alone or not used at all, on the vid I have tried to mimic signalling !! The halo 12v smd ring.......for the first time I used a clear diffuser in front of it. Later on in the vid I powered up the 5000k HID bulbs, hope you like :thumbup1:…

Speed sensors, i know the speed sensors are different from autos to manuals but is there a difference between manual tt and non tt manaul or are they the same

How the hell do I get into this to change? I've jacked the car up and can't get anywhere near it.

Anyone got andy supercar parts tel no. Please.oh as his not in the traders section.
