Hi guys can anyone tell me where i can get these painted to look like a chrome finish. doing some tuning work to engine. ideal time to get Re-sprayed. I did get them done years ago by Paul Bailey. who sent them to Sandwich Composites. They did a crap job. Thus the reason i want to get tehm redone. Otherwise can someone tell me what paint i need to do this myself. Regards Kevin. :duffer:

Coming out of B&Q in the Solihull retail park after picking up the last of the lighting needed for the workshop around 2:30ish this afternoon, saw a Red Zed parked up outside (think it had a personalised plate? J something or other!). Anyone on here? :) Don't see many round my way! Leigh.

I've got my girlfriend well-trained- she's spotting Zeds for me now! :rofl: She saw it on Frimley Road between Frimley and Focus DIY yesterday. Probably about 6:20 ish? Mark

White zed at Chiverton Cross roundabout (near Truro) Tuesday around 4:30pm.

Hi, I've done a search but can't find the exact info I'm after. Apparently the Z32 TT MAFS should show around .6v at key-on, and around .9v at idle. Can anyone tell me what it should be at 2500rpm under no load please? (or even better, a chart showing all revs & voltages :) )

Couple of questions for those with either a set of Koni shocks and/or Blitz lowering springs: 1. On the rear shocks - which are adjusted my depressing the rod into the cylinder and turning. It shows in the instructions that the rod can be turned up to two complete revolutions for maximum stiffness. Is there a kind of end stop inside which stops you from turning too far? Likewise, can it be unscrewed too far? Just wanted to determine what setting they're currectly at already. 2. I figured out quite quickly which of the Blitz spring were for the front and which were for the back - but there are two things I'm not entirely happy about: i. The rear spring…

Car has been running really well. Then started leaking a bit of oil. Then it started smoking a bit on startup. Wasn't too happy, but carried on driving it, just keeping an eye on things. Smoking got a bit worse (from startup only). Had all the hoses checked and tightened to sort the leak out. On my private test track last week, a V8 Kompressor E class decides it wants a race. So I give it some. Zed initially pulls away from Merc but Merc reels me in. While we were kind of 'giving' it some, I look out of the mirror and see plumes of smoke out of the back. Drive back slowly. Get out of car the whole thing is smoking from everywhere. After leaving said test track, I nur…

Black Zed with wrap over spoiler. Tuesday. I was in an escort full of surfboards so you wouldnt have noticed me! Dave

In the car park round the back (can't remember the name). G reg, Jap, Manual. Anyones???

I've got a '93 UK TT with 117k on the clock. What oil should i use...Mobil 1 cause its a performance engine or something a bit thicker cause of the mileage? - and what about additives like Slick 50.

Sorry! Duplicate Thread :x:

I'm looking at getting a car cover for when I'm away on tour. Anyone recommend a good quality brand or supplier?? Asked for 2 quotes so far from places I've found on the net. It needs to be waterproof and breathable as it'll be on it for 6 months! Thanks for you ideas in advance! Andrew :) PS How long is the Zed???! Need it for when I order one!

So i'm in the process of buy a few tuning goodies and fancied a Greddy center mount Intercooler. I assume you have to run an aftermarket front bumper, or will they fit behind a stock of 99spec one? Andy

...anyone got any? Preferably with no spoiler aft... :) Ta :dance:

I'll be taking my zed to the UK soon for some suspension problems that need sorting. But if my budget will stretch , i'm hoping to have some mods on the bodywork . Just a rough estimate for anyone who's had similar work done. 99 spec front spoiler side skirts removal of stock spoiler, filled and sprayed( plus the pvc panel of course) rear bumper to enclose 5" exhaust. all of the above sprayed and fitted. Would £1,500 to £2000 cover it?

OK for some wierd reason my boost drops from 6.5 to 5 when the car warms up. Every time i try the on board consult it reads 55 i've tried testing it when it looses boost leave the car on then try the test but nothing happens unless i turn the car off then onto just ignition by this times it's re-set itself.... Can anyone tell me why it only looses boost after it gets hot and how i test the ECU on board for code 34 without a laptop??? It can't be the det sensor as Ryan changed it some few months ago i've also check the wiring from the loom to the plug and this is now all fine??? Could it be the wiring back to the ECU or something else? The …

Hi guys! Looking for some advice?Is the oil filter for a TT/UK model the same as a N/a J-Spec?I have a brand new genuine Nissan filter for a TT and would like to use it for my next oil change (soon) on my N/A (94) but need to know if the TT filter fits all blocks before removing the old one? Any advice would be great...Thanx.

after seeing my car my sister wants a 300zx now lol a TT would be to much for her run and handle so a N/A would be the best option see as see has never driven a auto, it has to be a manual what sort of prices do people pay for a mint non turbo manual? thanks Mark

How do I adjust the alternator tension, I've found the bolt but it doesn't seem to do anything!

My oil pipe has burst at the bottom of the radiator and now I need to know if the auto gearbox oil is fed from the same reservoir as the engine oil? How do I adjust the alternator tension, I've found the bolt but it doesn't seem to do anything!

Anyone know if it's possible to get touchup pens from Nissan for colours that weren't available in the country? Ta
