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…

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 !

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

I know we saw each other as you waved, makes a pleasant change.

yes its another idle question.....(and i have used the search as well before asking this question) My Zed keeps running at 1000 in park (with air-con,heater etc off). Ive cleaned the temp sensor plug that was gunky reset the ECU and since then its idles cold at normal revs,then by the time temp guage reads quater of the way round it reads about 750-800 revs.Great i think!But by the car is back up to normal temp it runs at 1000 again.Ive cleaned the TPS connectors as well. Would this problem indicate the Temp sensor is at fault because it reads 750-800 with the needle a quater round?

Hi people, I found out yesterday that I have slack in the UJ in the picture attached. How much would one of these cost and either get replaced or replace myself. Could there be anything else amiss ? Also, some time ago I replaced the shox with good stock second hand ones and now, after some time of them being fitted, I'm getting some clunking sounds from both sides but more on the drivers side. The sound is difficult to explain but it soulds like the thread of a bolt rubbing against some metal ! I have had a 'quick' visual inspection and all bolts/nuts appear tight. What I didn't do was refit the small orange gaskets on top of the front struts as they were both sh4gg…

Black G reg with black alloys, parked off London Road on Friday night (I'm assuming you live there because I've seen it a couple of times). At least, I think it's black, but I've only ever seen it at night so could be a very dark blue I suppose. Silver zed, went up High West Street and turned left at Top 'O Town roundabout. Saturday afternoon at around 3.30 or so.
