At some point in my zed's life somone has gone to town on the stereo wiring. To my amazement this actually works!! Anyway I was looking at the rear speakers and found this plug under both of them. Now i thought they might by oe speaker wires but there are four conecters in each plug?? Can anyone shed some light on what they are?? Regards Lee

Just got around to checking the tyre pressures on the Zed, and they're set to 32psi all round. The sticker in the door jamb recommends 2.3bar (34psi) but that's for 225mm all round. I have 235s at the front and 265s at the back. I did a few back of envelope sums and to get the same aspect ratio contact patch, given the Zed's weight distribution, I come up with 31 front/25 rear. Sounds a bit low at the back, anybody out there running similar rubber? If so what pressures do you run? Cheers, Chris

I seem to be getting a collection of zeds together after agreeing to buy another one, which im picking up at the beginning of Jan. As you may know my yellow NA is in process of having the engine rebuilt, although i have come to a stand still at the moment with the weather and work, but have been offered a low mileage NA auto cheap, has 18" alloys, painted matt black but was originally silver and has MOT till next October, pics to follow when he sends them over to me in the next week. I spoke to this guy at the NEC classic car show, he basically bought it to show off to his mate ( dont know why) but now the job is done he no longer needs it and i told him at the …

Hi all. After the issues I've had I've bought a second hand cas from a seller on ebay. It's arrived and looks decent but the shaft doesn't appear to turn "straight" it spins as if it's slightly bent ie a bit elliptica, is tjis correct or is it as i suspect fubar? ? Cheers cutty

Hi, my drivers door speaker stopped working so took off the trim and accessed the speaker area. Got my multimeter and established connectivity on the lead back to the connector on the back of the stereo unit. I have put a working speaker (one of the rears) on the leads and no joy. So any thoughts why it wont work? (Quick question, what sort of output should I see on the speaker leads, ) Rich

Hi, had some H3C lights and thought id put them in for comparison, put them in, clamped, and took the flying lead with a spade to the connector. plugged in to the live and switched on. Nothing. took it out and placed the baseplate against bolt head Voila!! let there be light. So I thought the baseplate was the earth so a lead to the earth side of the connector wasn't needed. Where am I going wrong... Cheers Rich

Can somebody pls loan me a boost leak tester ( the bit that goes into the MAF) just let me know what the postage costs are please. Thanks Sayers

I found this this inside my passenger door lying at the front, clearly has fallen off and the door now has a rattle. It sounds like it`s coming from the stop bar that halts the travel of the door. Anybody have an idea where to stick it back to? It`s driving me nuts. Cheers

Can somebody please just tell me im being a paranoid retard!, im in the process of rebuilding my engine and EVERYTHING has to be spot on (being an ocd freak!) and ive been messing with the timing for 2 days now! I have the original workshop manual and various tech pages on hand so i have all the info, but i can never get the crank sprocket to line up fully with the grove in the oil pump, all 4 pulleys are spot on but the crank is about half a tooth out! No matter what i do! But im pretty sure its okay, because when i had the heads off Tdc was acctually just before the grove if i remember correctly! And the tensioner was giving me grief! But ive got it set to aprox 4mm so …

Having liaised it was decided upon to leave the top chamber red but the lower one to be smoked/tinted, this is the first time i have converted some tango lights this way and i must say they look really well. A very time consuming job as i was also asked to make them fully led which i have executed in a different way to when i have done it before, mainly the stock bulb holders can if need be still be used in an emergency or to compliment, although these are stand alone plug and play led lights. It's the yellow indication that i love, the on/off is so crisp, modern and the chamber is incredibly full. As ever the red, yellow doesn't come over as well but you g…

Unfortunately my 1997 Z32 TT has developed the annoying top end knock I have read countless articles about.There appears to be large difference of opinion about the noise.It seems to come from the top left hand inlet cam.And it would seem the variable cam pulley needs a new spring does anyone know where I can buy heavy duty springs and do they really cure the problem if not does anyone have a pair of good inlet cam pulleys they would like to sell Thanks Richard

Hi guys I've not been around for the last couple months as my car has been garaged most that time and I have been working on a new business venture which has taken up a lot of my time Anyway - I decided to give the Zed a run today as it has not moved for at least four weeks, and the sun was out, so why not. :devil: She's started first time and is running fine, all was good - until I tried to reverse..... and found I no longer seem to have a reverse gear anymore!! By this I mean there only appear to be five gears to select on the box now, where reverse usually is the stick just won't move that way at all There are no noises coming out of the gearbo…

I was contacted through my youtube channel from a guy in the states and at great expense he sent me his heavy ugly USDM LHD nippled headlights. Although very well packed one broke in transit, the casing and the glass :no: which rendered the matching pair useless, a claim is being made. The only option was for me to carry out a conversion on some Jspec lights hence making them suitable for LHD, these apparently are desirable over the pond :thumbup1:. The buyer wanted halos and a tube switchback light onto a carmad black glossed insert. The idea if you didn't know of a switchback is to light up white so therefore a kind of DRL, under signal the white goes off comp…

Hi all, I'm planning to import a GCZ32 from Japan in a few months, and am looking for general advice. The car will be manual, and ideally a '94-'96 with low mileage in pearl white. My budget will stretch to about €10,000 so I'm really looking for the right one. So mainly around the following areas: Significant differences between JDM and Irish/UK models (mainly mechanical and anything that could cause registration/NCT problems) Any concerns with getting the car on the road (in Ireland) Things to do before getting the car on the road (underseal and timing belt will be definite). Security recommendations? How supportive can I expect Nissan Ireland (or UK …
