Hey guys. Got a G reg Zedsled. Can I put the old skool black and silver number plates on it legally?

Saw you in Welling Way, Welling, yesterday afetrnoon. i was in my silver zed going the other way.... flashed lights... like the rear wing well high Any engine mods? Baz

I was in my silver Z behind a silver z in Westmount Road eltham yesterday afternoon.... Beeped and waved.....

Just noticed that the dust covers on my rear shocks have completely rotted, I assume that with all the muck from the road getting to them, they need changing? It looks like standard replacements are £30+VAT (per shock) at Zcentre, is there anything else worth considering (make/model), and should the fronts and springs be replaced at the same time? Also, I’m not very knowledgeable on suspension, will the standard springs work with aftermarket shocks, or do the springs need changing to match the shocks? Not really after lowering the car, but not against it (a bit), and would be happy with slightly better/stiffer suspension than standard. Thanks David

Recently put a new engine in my Zed and now think the Rear Relay unit is faulty.(the light warrning on the dashboard Anyone know why putting a new engine in would cos this to have problems? Problem started the first time I turned the car on.??

Hi Guys I have a stock 91 300zx TT auto. What should the correct boost on my car be(saying all is well)? Thanks

I think I may have a crack or maybe have split a seam in my radiator. How hard are they to work on? Can they be fixed or are they of the plastic type? The water is peeing out when it is about two thirds full. Problem is the car overheated at speed and the temp gauge only went up slightly so i was driving on it for a while!!! Hope there's no pemanent damage!!! Any suggestions please. :confused:

Just been to look at my first ZX, a '93 TT auto. Looked absolutely spotless. £4800, a bit dear maybe??? Anyway, got in to have a drive but couldn't get my knees under the steering wheel. ( I'm 6'3" ) Moved the seat back to get legs in but couldn't reach the damn wheel. OK I know I could fit a smaller wheel and a spacer boss, but my wife want to drive it too (5'2") Couldn't believe the wheel wasn't adjustable. So, 2 questions, is price reasonable, and did any models come with adjustable steering columns? Cheers.

Saw a white zed this morning in Tonbridge, Kent. Turning off opposite the police station at about 11am. Didn't catch the plate as i was in a cab but looked standard & good condition. J

As title, How easy are these to remove??

Due to my boost problems i thought i may as well try and renew all my hoses and pipes with silicon replacements waiting on Smithy to get back to me on some silicon hose but was wondering if these http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=221 would actually make any diffence to the running of the car (power/smoothness)apart from solving any leak issue i had with the old ruuber hoses? A stupid noob question-just interested if they do anything other than look 'bling'

I was removing the mesh from around my maf this morning (well worth doing IMHO car feels smoother now..) and noticed all these bits in front of the main Radiator.

Hi I often see the Fairlady TT 2+2 and the 300ZX 2+2 in various years of manufacture. Is the only real difference that the Fairlady is the Japanese (home) version and the 300ZX is the export model from Japan. Are the specs the same? Cheers Geoff

Does anyone know if replacements for the spring loaded carbon inserts can be obtained for the tips of the coil packs. I bought some used coil packs, went to use one today and discovered than the carbon tip was missing from most. Thanks David

So after putting my log file up here and having a look back over the details im wondering what the following mean / reflect : A/F Base? What should this figure be as it didnt seem to change much with throttle position or speed etc really, always seemed to be around 100 +- 2 Injector? Its not the duty cycle as that is listed separatly ? And Airflow? Guessing this is the output of the MAF so should go up with the throttle reading etc... Just after a list of normal values as a starting place really...

HELP! my drivers side door lock is jammed i think the motor is sezied. I am trying to remove the door card without the door open and its proving difficult! i have tried pulling really hard on the cable that unlocks the door but it wont budge. The key turns the lock both ways fine but doesnt unlock the door. central locking is dead and does nothing, where is the fuse for the central locking? Also if it was just the fuse you would still be able to unlock the door manually right?
