White Zed heading into Manchester the other day on the M56, crawling a long at 90, so I blasted past in the M5, hey man, you're giving zeds a bad name going so slow! :D

I don't belive it !!' :mad: Looking forward to going to Japfest next week ; took the Zed out for a spin the other day and guess what.............. :shock: I now have the dreaded missfire and Cat warning light. :headvswal :headvswal So having looked through the history of problems with the 'Cat over heat' looks like I have some checking under the bonnet to do :cry: . Life goes on, hey ho..... :tongue:

Has anyone had experience fitting these disks? I've just tried fitting mine and they are rubbing on the back plate (see piccy). After some head scratching it looks as though the disks have a smaller diameter opening on the back compared to the originals (see other piccy). Do I need to butcher the back plate with my pursuading device? :smash: or shall I have to use some small spacers on the wheel studs to push the disk out a bit? The other though I'd had was that the disks haven't been machined correctly and that they should have been bored out at the back (but someone forgot). Any suggestions?

Just wondering if somone could help me out with my fuel guage problem. The problem is intermitant. The guage works normal for weeks and then all of a sudden gets stuck around the half way point. Noticed it today when i put some fuel in. Had qtr of a tank already in and then added another £25. Then to test it put another £5 in and the needle never moved FFS. How does the guage work?? cus i know it won't be normal because its a Zed :mad: Cheers Johno

As above want to show my new seats on my thread Dave

as you might haveread in a post earlier this year a tree fell on my car in the gales , i got off quite lightly with only the wind breaking of the drivers side mirror , denting the bonnet and wing slightly , however the legacy is the mirrors no longer electrically function , ( either of them ) the dashboard centre console clock is now dead and the intermittent wipe no longer works ??? i have no circuit diagram of the wiring or fuse feed layout so cant trace it back , the fuse box cover is of no help at all as neither intermittent wipe , clock . or mirrors are shown as fed devices, anybody on here got any ideas ???? :bow: :bow: :confused:

White Zed on the A720 south of Edinburgh on Saturday Morning at arround 10.45. i was heading for Edinburgh Zoo

Hi guys, hope everyone is well. I recently bought a blitz dual turbo timer which was second hand and came with no instructions. Being a mechanical and electronics rookie i quickly realised i have no idea how to install the bloody thing. The link from ebay of the timer is attached. Could someone please visit the link and advise me how to install it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7969381514&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT thanks in advance K

Hi guys Ive noticed, and the car has done this for about 3yrs now, but now its becoming realy anoying! that if the air con is off, and you drive towards say a round about, junction or red light, when the clutch is pressed and the revs drop, the idle goes to approx 400-500, shakes and the engine cuts out. Same thing happens if say you drive in 4/5th gear at 40+ and you pressed the clutch and let the engine idle, it will stall. it almost seems as if the revs drop to quick? At standstill, you can rev the car, right to the limit in fact and it never stalls, the revs do drop almost to 500 but the engine does keep going (just). normally, the engine idls fine. Ive clea…

yep i know i have been on bout this before but its doing my head in!! first fault! coasting down hill with throttle closed no smoke but when booting it after wards at the bottom of the hill i get clouds of blue smoke!! but if i keep the throttle open as i come down the hill, then start off again at the bottom of the hill i get no smoke!! this to me sounds like valve stem oil seals, also when i start the car i get some blue smoke when i rev it but soon clears!! so i have done all the valve stem oil seals with the heads on i might add :hyper: and the smoke is still there same as before :headvswal is it possible i have hammerd the val…

Hello, There are two other local Red Zeds. Make yourselves known! :-) Esp. the one who taunts me by driving past the end of my road just when im trying to fix mine! - Thurs 13th, Windermere Avenue.

Did you break down? Your hazards were on whilst you were stopped at some traffic lights.

If we was to recondition the turbos ourselves where do we get the parts from and for how much? Also how much would it cost to have them balanced after?

Import, F plate, Big zorsts, otherwise stock looking. This afternoon at 2.30ish we were overtaking everything else on the road, i was in the noisy SWB behind you :D

:cry: When driving my car at constant speed, it is fine. But when I put my foot down, it makes a howling whistle sound. I am not sure what is causing this, it never used to do this, but recently it has started. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. My car is an automatic twin-turbo.

Spotted white H plated kitted NA in Broad Haven beach car park this afternoon...... I know it was for sale at a local importers a while back but do you own it now? Don't be shy :D

just a quick question have a auto 300zx z32 on a 91 model year. if i was to buy a manual 300zx for parts to convert my current z to a manual. is there anything that i should know ie do the blocks have different postioning of the bolt holes etc to attach the gearbox or any other nasty surprises. is there a certain model year that i have to find. am considering it as i my engine is starting to smoke and if i have to take the bugger out then i will take the vehicle off the road completely until all repairs and mods are done and buy a cheap run around for the time being. that way i will have a crisp zed once done and hopefully no further problems.

Getting my box changed for a fast road one in 3 weeks time. Are there any other things that could be done when the box is out?? Cheers Andrew :cool:

Can anyone tell me what a Jap Auto TT comes to in pounds please. I have looked in the manual but can not find what I need. Thanks. Vince
