Hi all, just found this site and would like to tell you about my ZX300 i live in Nantwich, Cheshire White ,manual twin turbo 1992 uk model, 81000 miles bought from a friend four years ago. he had it since it was about 11 months old. so i do know a lot of its history. However recently i have wore the inside of the offside tyre away rather fast. also there is a scraping sound when i go around right hand bends and maybe the rear to if i am hearing ok Took to main agent cos i thought there was some play somewhere only to be told they cannot find anything amiss with the suspension or steering ? has anybody had similar probs? or shed some light my way

As some of you have read, I've knackered my temp gauge.... I needed this excuse to buy some after market ones! http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/catalogue/product_detail.asp?PCODE=TRIP134&GRP=RP073&PGRP=R008&CLS=ROAD&code=TRIP110&from=search I found these on Demon-tweeks. I'm after some not so expensive ones, preferably with a blue backlight to match the rest of my interior. I know these arent a fancy expensive brand, thats not what I'm looking for at the mo... So what do you reckon??? Any good or are there others to consider? Cheers Andrew

Hi, Recently purchased a Car Alarm with Remote start. I want to fit it myself, as I have a lot of other Interior stuff to do at the same time, and having studied the instructions and wiring diagrams Im confident I can handle this myself. However there is one problem with the installation, that I guess is down to the relatively unique zed ignition setup. Please see wiring diagram below. It refers in two places to the "High coil", which I take means Ignition coil. But with the zed having 6 individual coils, and a PTU..Im not sure what to do. One wire must be wrapped around the coil, and another needs to be fed to the positive connection on Coil. …

As my controller is now on the way to the menders i was thinking of putting boost jets (mig tips) in. Can someone tell me which ones to use that will give me around 13/14 PSI?????

Has anyone ordered stuff from this lot? http://www.conceptzperformance.com/ I ordered some shocks and springs 9 weeks ago now and still haven't received anything :confused: Is this normal for stuff from the states? I've been in contact with Coz there, and he's been helpful enough, but just keeps telling me that they're probably in Customs, although he has no tracking number for the shipment! :headvswal Is there any way I can find out if Customs are holding my package? Has anyone had to wait this long before for parts from the states? (I know, I know - I should of ordered from the UK - will next time :) ) Cheers.

Morning everyone! Last night I fitted white dials to my Zed. With everything now working more or less correctly, the stock temp gauge needle sits at the max temp point (Full Scale Deflection) when I turn the ignition on. Doesnt move up or down when the engine warms up. Anyone recognise this problem?? The gauge was defo working before! I was super careful when removing or refitting components so I dont think damaged anything. Any ideas????!!! Cheers Andrew :cool:

Just a quick note to apologies to all members for not introducing myself earlier. bit new to forums generally and dived straight in, sorry. Recently brought a J-spec manual TT which i absolutley love to bits, even when it plays up! It's always been a dream to own a car like this, and it has met and exceeded my expectations of what the Japs can engineer. I'm based in Essex and look forward to meeting other members on the road sometime on those long hot summer evenings. P.S. Thanks to everyone thats helped me out so far.
