Hi, Can anyone clarify whether the UK TT Auto Box can be mechanically adjusted, or is it all electronic? Cheers, Bart

which are the bigger turbos uk manuel or auto jap manuel or auto or are they the same and would they fit on both cars ?

I've been activly looking for a zed to buy for the last couple of weeks, :dance: :nana2: :dance: i Keep checking the for sale section, as i thought it'd be best to buy a car that has been looked after by some who knew what they were doing. :rolleyes: :tongue: and was wondering what advise anybody had about importing a zed? has anybody done it? any major prob's? have been looking of an import site today and the zed's they have are for silly money, 94 LWB TT £1600 with all shipping fee's and taxes but not SVA, :shock: :shock: Any help or advise would be greatly recieved :bow: Neil

hello matey, do you have the link to those HIDs you got from Aussie Ebay? Thanks.

Just trying to do up the nut attaching the track rod bar to the hub assembly, but the ball keeps turning. How do I lock it? Thanks, Matt.

Jap spec with std alloys and what looked like Stillen type III side skirts. I was behind you in a black G reg golf from the roundabout by the Merc garage until just before you turned off into the Westfield trading estate! C'mon, who were ya, then?!!

Stupid noob question-When i have a code 55 on ECU test does this mean everythings all ok? Ive got an eratic idle at when stationary.(starting from cold to operating temp it will settle at 750 revs then go for a drive and come back it will idle at 1000?) Is my base idle out?

I hit a pavement (ahem) and now my 'door open' idiot light has come on and won't go off. Any ideas?

Just done an Ecu test and it comes up with Code 34 (Det sensor). I had a Profec fitted some time ago and never really noticed any issues. The car seems to boost ok but will need to check. What are my options? I don't really want to have to have the engine out... HEEEELP

ok Who Sells em Who much Which ones are the best nope i dont want crappy dump valves, circs are way better.

My car failed MOT recently due to emmissions. I discovered that the O2 sensors needed replacing. I have done this using 2 very low mileage sensors. I have my MOT at 11:30 but I cannot afford for it to fail again, so will this work? http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/tech/co/co.html And is it ok to drive with this removed? What are the consequences or symptoms? Cheers guys..

Hi all. Just noticed yesterday that my heating isnt really hot, had it at 40 on auto, (doesnt come out of the centre vents or door vents) had to put my hand over the door window demister vents and feels warm but not hot, surely set at 40 it should feel hot, not just warm? oh and the car was at full temp.. any ideas? thanks

ive stripped my wheels to paint the centers, does any one know what i should torque the bolts to? they were bloody tight to come off but they were corroded and held on with locking compound so i dont know how tight the actually were. cheers, Fraser

How easy is it to take the sump off in situ, Do you have to take out the engine, just lift it a bit or can you take it off without lifting at all. If you can take it off in the car can you drop all the main bearing caps to change the shells and is the oil pump easy to take off. Cheers

Hi, Sorry to mention this again. There is loads of threads about this. To much to digest. Can you please give me an opinion on these setups. I haven't decided on 18's or 19's yet. 19's do look good. might be a bit bumpy though. Especially as my cars lowered with KYB AGX's on it. 19" x 10.5 rear with 265/30 tyres 19" x 8.5 front with 235/35 tyres or 18" x 10.5 rear with 265/35 tyres 18" x 8.5 front with 235/40 tyres As long as I'm right on sizing. I'll never need to ask this again. Thanks in advance.. Bart..

Hi Guys, As yet I am not a Zed owner (please don't throw things)... but plan to buy one as a second/project come weekend car. I await the passing of three things... 1. My 25th Birthday (Mucho insurance savings) :dance: 2. Promotion at work... so i can afford it basically! 3. Accommodation for both me and the Zed... I.e. a house with a garage. So I am probably looking at just under 12 months, but what this does give me is plenty of time to plan what car I buy, what mods I want, the overall look I want to achieve and finally... how much it is all going to cost. I was wondering whether anyone had a list of the stock models and their speci…

Spotted heading up the A14 from Bury st Edmunds, towards Ipswich, 7:45pm, twin-exit exhausts, smoothed Tailgate... :) :) :)

Greetings, I would like to upgrade from my stock turbos to hybrids. I have already ordered Nismo 550 injectors and bigger side mount intercoolers. Can you guys/gals recommend what hybrids to go for and where its best to get them from. Finally what does one pay for the hybrids and fitting costs. Sorry to be a pain. Thanks in advance !

just put my refurbished wheels back on and need to stop me having to get them redone again so quick im currently running 235/35/19s on the front (bead protectors sit flush) 235/45/19s on the rear and the alloy sticks above the tyre all 4 falkens so was going to put the 245's on the front and buy two new 265's for the rears BUT apparently falken don't do a 265/35/19 but can get 275's question is are these going to be ok? the 4 tyres i have on now have done less than 500 miles, :cry: but need to do something to stop the problem happening again :headvswal btw heres me wheels back on lol

I currently have no front side lights. I am due an MOT and I assume I will need these to pass? someone know otherwise? So what are the minimum requirements for size/brightness/location?? And i'd rather not use the normal sidelights as there location has been reserved :smash: All help appreciated :cool:

Im looking to change the bulbs in my Zed (main dip and side) as they are pretty useless I have a J-Spec Zed i from what i can gather they dont use H1 bulbs... is that correct? Do i need H3C bulbs for both main and dip? Can i put in 100w or 80w Xenon bulbs or do i have to stick to 55w bulbs? Do main beam and dip beam use the same wattage? are they both H3C? As you can tell i am rather confused...

hi guys, does anyone know the actual offence the police can charge you with for driving a car on jap plates? i have motor traders insurance,a valid mot displaying my chassis number,and a receipt that ive paid for road tax. customs have been messing me about having me fill in all sorts of forms because they are too stupid to listen so i cant register the car till i get some declaration of vat to give to dvla, so i'm now planning on using the car on jap plates and would like to know whats the worst they can throw at me? thanks in advance(and sorry for the rant) a rather pi$$ed off Paul
