Well my trouble free Z motoring has lasted 50 miles today. 1 hr after collection the power steering high pressure hose from the reservoir to the rack split and i needed recovery from the AA.Thank god i noticed it before the real damage began! As mine is a import NA Is this the same as a UK tt pipe as stocked by Nissan or will i be able to get one easy from a motor factors? If not could you suggest some were. Also any idea of price. Also up near the interior light on the t bar there is a little vent at the end of the unit and all the way to the point of pipe failure it made an irritating clicking sound to the point of distraction. Can someone please tell me why? …

I've done the near side hicas arm OK. Now I've come to do the off side, and when I try and undo it, the near side always comes undone again, no matter how much I do it up, it's always the wrong one that undoes. How can I guarantee that it is the offside that undoes. Really appreciate some help. Cheers, Matt.

Hi guys, Does anyone out there recognise this speedo convertor? It has six wire coming from it: Red Black Green Orange Yellow Blue It has come from a Zed but with no info regarding how it was wired up. I'm hoping it's one that somebody out there has seen before. Ta, Graham.

blue zed on the a316 in richmond chalkers corner anyone?

Just fitted my autogauge stealth 2 boost gauge and went out to see how much more I could wring out of her as the timing was genourous and so was the injector timing on WOT. Turns out either my new gauge is crap or the boost has been raised somehow as the gauge is showing it boosting at 12psi at WOT?? I couldnt see any boost jets when I took a peek and couldnt see any bleed valves. Any Ideas??

sold my zed last week on ebay..only owned it for 6 months and it cost me a fortune! :headvswal it was kinda fast but not that fast - not compared to a ferrari or a porsche - still it was fun..thanks for all your help and advice guys with the car..im signing off this site now that i dont have the zed..good luck with your cars and projects ! :duffer:

they have gone off, well the headlights have, ive tried changing the master switch, that didnt work have checked fuses under bonnet (uk car) they are ok, when i switch them on slowly the main beam flashes slightly is there an earth anywhere that could be corroded or come loose, also when i put them on all the dash lights go dim and a red warning light that says lights comes on for abpout a minute then goes off any ideas cheers Allan

as above what sort of price would i be looking at to have the tailgate skin fitted and sprayed as i hate my bubbled spoiler with a passion.. poss get the bonnet done at the same time. cheers gaz

So I got my first shock off and assembled the new one, easy really. Now I'm replacing the hicas arms. Can't get the fecker to remove from the hub assembly , I've removed the nut OK. Any hints on how to do it? Just brute force???? :smash: I've only done my first shock so far! Arse.

My car has all of a sudden started running on safety boost! Was fine for about 100 miles up M6, then last 50 miles, started playing up! Any idea's what it could be? I've checked oil, water etc, they're all fine!

Want to change my temperature sensor (the yellow one) as the yellow part as broken. if i get one from Nissan do i get the sensor as well as the plug?

From this guide: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/rbagwell/rearshocks.htm come the attached pic. This is what my shocks look like at the top, it says remove the centre nut before you take the shock off, which makes sense as the actuator bracket won't go through the hole. But is this the centre nut that hold the springs on which other guides tell you to take off once your spring comporessors are on? Or is there another nut below holding the spring on? Cheers,, Matt.

I would like some dumpy valvy thingys on me car that go whoooossshhhh. Now, I have got an Apexi induction kitty and need advice on what to get and how much to spend. Would I be asking too much for someone to help me fit them as the last time I did any engine work I destroyed a BMW's engine thus need help here. I am in Enfield, Middlesex. I have read the DIY guide to fitting BOVs but its too much for me. I want a big loud noise that will p*ss the entire street off as the Supra next door has one and every time I'm out there and tinkering he has to make an issue of how good his car is and the brilliant dump valve he has fitted last week. Thus I am calling on all forum m…

Currently have a top end Cobra alarm and am just not happy with it. Looking to replace it with a G5 Clifford. However have no clue with which model to go for and what to spend. These are the features I would like: Remote locking/unlocking Remote start Turbo timer inbuilt Total closure Headlamp delay Proximity warning sensor Has to be CAT1 certified for insurance purposes Now I tried interpreting the various models and features but the jargon seems confusing. Want to know which model would be best and how much is one expected to pay. Obviously its pointless getting the top model as some features I will never need to use. Last but not least, any recomm…
