Hi comrade's I have a strange issues with my digital climate control pod on my 300zx 90' RHD TT. The problem is that the LED-display don't show any digits, all work, buttons and sound work but no digits. I buy on ebay some used Climate Control POD for RHD in excellent condition. But when i install i see nothing on the screen :mad: Before install new pod i take the screwdriver and uninstall the electric scheme with LCD-display on my old and new pods. I found on display on the left bottom corner some burns spot (on the old and on the new in the left bottom corner!). Then i install new pod and of course it's not work for me. I don't now maybe it's a bug on every Cli…

Looking over on the yank forums most say it's quicker (or less hassle anyway) to remove the gearbox to remove these? Is this the case with UK specs and all? Just wasn't sure if there would be much difference between US and UK spec regarding the layout of everything.

I've just been reading up on the throttle spring covers that Jason bought for The Beast. Do they ONLY fit the later style plenums? And if so... why...? :)

Fresh in from ebay today.

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows how much weight can be taken out of a zed? Since I'm considering an NA instead of a TT at the moment, are they much lighter? I know they don't have hicas for example, but is the r230 diff much heavier than the r200 diff? Did the TT get any additional chassis stiffening? And so on. Has anyone compiled a list on here somewhere of what things weigh? Also, are there any chassis repair manuals floating around online which could help me find out which bits aren't structural, etc?

My luck has tacken me tempory off course and because if this some of my emidiate plans have had to change. Basically i was due this trip home to drop my car off in notts at marks place to get my exhaust repalced along with my new tubs ect.and a tonn of other stuff to be done and fitted at the same time.now due to the fact that my company has just lost its contract i could well be facing redundandcy in thirty days.so big hold on the big spend.even though i have loads off car stuff on my wordrobe. anyways becuse my test origanal test pipe are blowing .and my mot is now pending.i thouht id have a look at replacing the exhaust myself.i have a four bolt 3" dps that should b…

Some ****er kicked mine off yesterday and broke the mechanism if anyone has one close by that would be perfect so I can pick it up as I've had enough, spent my day off trying to fix it. I'm In north London. Doesn't matter the colour.

In short, how can I check whether it's woeking right? In the past, I've been told it didn't seem to be working correctly. Anyway, it's never really been an issue but something I knew I'd one day look at. That day is today since I'm off work. It's a greddy Profec B-Spec 2 I have. How do I know if it's working right? Do I simply turn all the settings right down and see if it boosts less? For info, I bought a new control unit for it on eBay - don't know if it works or not but need to know how to check it first.

I want to fit adjustable coilover suspension mainly just for ride height adjustment since fitting new wheels, I like the stock feel of the suspension and don't want to change from that too much. Any suggestions on a stock feel coilover?

I think my BMC is leaking from a small point that sits between the 2 pipe connections on the side of the unit facing the engine. Has anyone else experienced this and is it just a case of time for a full new BMC or would a seal kit solve this? Just seems a funny place for a leak, its definitely not the pipe connections though. Thanks for any advice. :)

Hey all As far as I understand, new screens are available in the uk. I'm back in the uk for a bit in May and I'm intending to get the zed on the road. One of the main issues is that I need a new screen Has anyone had one fitted recently, how was the cost , are they the right colour (it's an import swb 1992) was the service good?

Hi guys, Tried to refit my PS pump last night but couldn't get it located properly. On the front part of the carrier bracket where the bolt goes through there appears to be one of those rings that slips back as you tighten the bolt to hold it in place. I can't get this to budge back at all to get the pump located properly even persuading it with a hammer. Any tips?

Friday Lunchtime: Bright red, modified ZX with body kit going round the pizza express roundabout heading towards Upperton road. It was two up and sounded nice. Was it you? P.S Next time please use your indicators on the roundabout, so I know which way you are going and I can pull out in my slow-arsed bus :P

I plan to change all the lamps in the back of my cluster and each pod for white LEDs, does anyone know the correct fitment name, size, spec etc? Many thanks Dan

Just been offered a manual tt zed, and all sounds okay apart from a little bit of rust on the rear quarters, though he claims the struts are clean, had new sills last year, etc. Just looked up the chassis number on the MOT history checker, and it exists. Yet if I try to look it up on Nissan FAST, it doesn't recognise it. Cause for alarm?

Well, the wreckage of Jans 98 zed was classes as cat B and sold last Thursday. I've been scouring ebay to make I source the things people have been asking for to get in first and make sure I can get them. But Nothing. It seems to have disappeared into thin air by whoever bought it But Then, another zed is stolen of a drive..... and as someone said why steal parts if you can steal a whole car ? Knowing what damage I did to Jan's, and I've still got aches and pains from it, I hope no one is trying to get it back on the road They may be wanting to modify the one that was stolen and repaint it ......

Small mention in a discussion about future collectables, but nice to get a plug at least!

Fwiends Forever!!

Rich Cropley's Z32 Stolen from Chesterfield area. Last time he saw it was last night when he went to bed at 11pm and it was gone at 6am this morning. If anyone has seen it can you please inbox me to let me know ASAP. Help Him find his pride and joy..........

Can anyone that has recently done a transmission conversion give me an estimate of how much it costs? I'm wondering if it would be worth buying a clean automatic for the right price. Also, would I have trouble getting the parts (presumably shipped from UK)? Cheers

Hi, Long time no see from a former member. Mods - I have made a BACS payment today to renew my membership, so I hope this does not fall foul of any club regulations. I AM SELLING MY ZED - I will advertise on here as soon as my membership is updated. For now, my car can be found in the 'Other models' section under 'Nissan' on Pistonheads (Dont ask me why it's in that section - I'm trying to get it moved). Please spread the word as I am really wanting a quick sale. If anyone has any questions, I will be happy to answer them here! Many thanks! Leo

Hi I'm looking for some pictures of a ported 40p tt head preferably the exhaust side. I have Google searched and come up with a lot of mixed results so want some actual club ported heads which I can reference too. My main concern is how much of the "hump" in the exhaust port where the valve guide comes through. Can it be completly blended flush or is it wise just to fettle around it?? I don't just want to hog out the material and reduce velocity

Hi, I might need to buy an injector for my N/A as I cant be 100% sure that when I remove the good one I need from my spare car I wont trash it !!! , now I see plenty of different types, makes, colours! out there, can someone tell me the differences and/or the one I actually need. Thanks Rich Oh, ps if any body has one for sale just drop me a line, as I said, I may or may not get my spare one out fine.
