Ok fella's, the first to say sell the Zed get's it, :mac1: It failed the mot last week on rear roll bar drop link's, and the hicas rack track arm's, thats it, well chuffed. All done an dusted. Having recently splitt from the missus though has left me running the house alone, which most of you will know aint cheap when there is two of ya, my Zed is my everyday car now, and the fuel consumption is killing me to an from work alone without any use over the weekend. So here's my question...........Gas conversion????? need i say anymore i wonder? Can I? how would it run? and more importantly, what will it perform like?? Can you run a turbo'ed car on gas?? Any idea's?? cheers …

Hi all, I knocked my drivers window when getting out of the car the other night and the B pillar runner/retainer broke in two - part left in runner, other remains on the glass. :cry: Does anyone know if this runner can be replaced or is a whole new window required? Couldn't see a mention of it in the manual.. If a new window is the only solution, does anyone know of one going in the Bristol area? Cheers Dave (who left it until it was thundering to break the window!!) :headvswal

M1 northbound last night 29/06/05 @ about 23.00 Hrs. Red Zed strapped on the back of a truck. "ADE" (you'll know what I mean) I got a pic on my phone but it was pi55ing it down so it wasn't that good. Was it broken or just coming home from the pub?

The rear shocks on the Z have been on the verge of MOT failure for the last year - the rear end feels like its skipping out every time i go over a bump, one wheel is an inch lower than the other etc etc.... So just got a set of Koni Sport shocks, which should be here in a day or two hopefully. Anyway, while the car is in the air with its suspenders down, should I be thinking about a new all-round bushing kit? I see Energy suspension do a kit: http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/nis1.html - anyone had experience of this? Any help and/or experience with overhauling the suspension would be great. Cheers Simon. (p.s. Got a set of Blitz springs to go…

Firstly- I promise this is the last help I ask for before subscribing Second- I know sill rust is common, but has anyone had to go all the way back to the rear subframe mounts? Ive seen replacement outer panels and inner reinforcement panels but my rust is touching the panel that is behind the reinforcement panel, it is also touching the rear subframe mount. Even though the mount hasn't rusted through Im not happy about its structural integrity and Im thinking that the mount needs to be replaced. Has anyone had their rust go this far back and what did they do aboot it? Right now the only thing I can think of is to chop the whole side and underside out of a breaking…

Guys Anyone know the approx weight of a zeds engine? I need to know so I know which stand to buy, they seem to come in 2 main weight categories: 750lbs(340kg), 1000lbs(450kg) and 1500lbs(680kg). I am guessing the 1000lbs stand will do... Any ideas? TA

Has Any One Got Any Ideas Why My 300 Tt Smokes Out The Passenger Side Exhaust When I Pull Up At Lights Or Junctions When Its Ticking Over, There Is No Smoke When Driving . Can Anyone Shed Any Light On The Matter.......

Can anyone please help, im about to fit my camber correction kit soon, and dont know what the camber settings need to be ? would any of you kind people know please ? how bloody polite was that then ? lol

um...it was white or silver.....forgotten now Came of M5 J23 near Bridgwater at around 5:40pm Yesterday (tuesday) I was in a Blue Renault scenic, was going to flash you, but you were going too slow I undertook you at roundabout instead ;)

as above really the ones on the Z centre look very bland? chris :nana2:

How important are those pink/red gaskets that sit on the top shock mountings ? Car currently on jacks while I fit my new suspensions, and discovered the original gaskets are all torn and now useless. What are they for, do I need to replace then, are they generic enough that nissan dealer would stock ? :rolleyes: Thanks, David

...to work out what pressure each tyre should be run at, you add together the maximum weight each tyre will take (as printed on the side of the tyres) and divide the vehicle weight (with driver and fuel) by this number. The resulting number is then used to multiply the maximum psi or bar as printed on each tyre so that a factor of the maximum psi is achieved. ...is this correct. Sorry about the maths. thanks in advance to anyone who both knows if this is correct and can be bothered to answer. cheerz Jack

Will TT springs and shocks fit an NA? cheers David

Can any one tell me on the rear AGX Shocks settings that go from (1) to (8) which is the firmest number?

Anyone know how you stop auto bidding on an item? I have looked through my e-bay account and set up and cannot find how to stop the auto bid function, I no longer wish to bid on a vehicle that has two days left, there are other bidders and the auto bid system is raising the amount against the other bidders when I no longer want to continue ..any help appreciated.

det sensor goes off at start up turn ignition off then on again runs fine what would cause det at start up or have i got the dreaded dodgy det sensor?

Boost jets, thinking about putting them in, Do i need to get chipped or can i run the car without doing harm to engine or myself? What size jets if not needing chip? :nono:

ok, so first it was the odd drip onto the exhaust causing some smoke through the middle, now i feel like ive lost a lot of power, pulling away from tickover its really losing it, and extremely lumpy, the engine 'sounds' ok though...and im getting that blown exhaust noise from the middle..bear in mind this is a relatively new exhaust system, the standard mongoose zed centre jobby... anyone ever had this? it sounds f**ked!

Hi all Hope u can help! Got a weird problem with the revs dropping from idle. If stationary with the revs at about 900rpm (normal idle), then touch the throttle, the revs drop back to 500rpm for just a second (as if its about to cut out) then alls normal again. Seems to happen once the car's upto normal running temperature. A similar thing happens if you back right off the throttle at speed, then accelerate again - the revs drop very slightly before rising as normal. This can be quite alarming when pulling onto roundabouts. I'm sure the fuel pump is noisier than normal too, although only audible from outside when the car's idling. Probably a red herri…
