Where is the fuse box for interior electrics i.e radio!? Driving me mad looking for it!

Well I've had my Zed all of a week, first time I get to put my foot down properly, and I manage to bounce off the limiter in 2nd!! Not good I know.. 1st and 2nd are fine, but it just won't shift from 2nd to 3rd. It's been suggested that there might be a problem with my TPS, but I'd be suprised if it's that when it's changing from 1st to 2nd just fine. But hey.. what would I know? I've only been a Zed owner a week! Is there anything I can try guys? HELP!!

Can someone point out exactly where the Idle valve is??? I need to disconnect it when setting up the base idle....

:confused: Does any one know where i can get a flush fitt rear fog lamp that looks good on my Z Markz :hyper: :nana2:

Right iv'e had a boost controller fitted and it should be hitting 13psi with the current settings but i'm only boosting too 8 somthing why is this. Oh and i'm trying to sort out some Quafe 6 speed gear kits anyone interested please read my post in the advanced tunning section.

I think this could be an offset problem as the car was absolutely fine before I fitted some Mania Vortex 18" alloys (235 front, 265 rear). The odd thing is that the alloys came off a zed :confused: I can only think that whoever bought the wheels in the first place obviously didn't check the offsets! Does anyone know what the offset is for the Kosei Mania Vortex alloys? I've tried searching the web for this info but couldn't find it anywhere. Also, where could I purchase spacers from? Any help would be much appreciated as the car isn't much fun to drive as it is :( PS. If the LHS wheel goes down a rut in the road, the steering wheel pulls quite aggressivel…

Red zed with big bore exhausts and suit hung in rear window on A2 south, evening of 18th december(I think), followed each other for a bit and waving at each other then you pulled off near Gravesend. I was in grey zed.

Hi chaps Well I fitted a pair of toyo t1-s proxes to the beast beginning of september and guess what..... they are as bald as a pair of doormen!! so what is the best choice of tyre for a 17" in your opinions?????? thanx and merry thing!!??

Can anyone tell me if the Techtom mdm-100 from a toyota supra will be compatible with my 1990 300zx Twin turbo? I know i will have to modify the wiring on the techtom but assides from that are all the readings the same? Thank you for any help

I have a 90 TT Targa auto Jap spec, It recently had an engine rebuild due to a knackered radiator. Cut a long story short, the engine has been done very well, but the wiring was completley butchered and am currently trying to repair all the faults!! : 1) Speedo goes hay wire, 100mph when stationary!!! Impressive but annoying!! 2) Power steering intermitant, suspect air in system 3) the most important!!!! It seems that sometime the car goes like the proverbial of a shovel the next its flat! I never know whether its going to go or not! I have replaced all the turbo and coolant hoses with piperX ones so there shouldn't be a leak! Is there a Safety boost limit that migh…

Can you help me - I need to know which wires to the speedo and tacho carries the pulse? Much appreciated. AndyGP

Is anyone else having probs with these ? The light flickers on and off on the AF gauge and the temp gauge doesnt read what the car temp gauge reads. Just wondered

Hi does anyone know where I can pick up [from the ECU] a signal that identifies which gear the autobox is currently in? I am expecting something like this for a four wire system ... Park Rev. Ntrl. O.D. Drive 2nd 1st Signal A GND GND Open Open GND GND Open Signal B Open GND GND GND GND Open Open Signal C Open Open Open GND GND GND GND Signal D GND Open GND Open GND Open GND I basically want to add a digital display of the current gear and/or a digital readout of the stick position! Any help appreciated. AndyGP

Just had a local garage fit some rear tires. Had a look at the car yesterday and they've damaged the rim on one alloy quite badly and it will need refurbishing. They said the old tyre wouldn't come off and that's why it happened. I've not yet paid for the work or picked up the car, so where do I stand? Personally I think they should have called me when the tyre wouldn't come off so I could accept the risk of the alloy being damaged or taken it somewhere else to be done....

just by that dodgy D shaped roundabout/junction seen at about 5pm, was it anyone here? yaseen

I parked next to you outside the prince of wales hotel in southport on thursday, hope you dont mind i had a good look around your Zed, tis a luvely example pal, keep it that way. Disclaimer: I have beeen the pub tonight bu ti can still typoe! Dan.

I'm sure this has been discussed on here before, and I have heard one or two opinions against fitting dump valves to Z's, but does anyone have any experience in running the HKS SSBOV dumps (or any other BOV's for that matter) on a TT? I have just fitted a z-tech ecu, which has made a marked improvement over the stock unit, and want to add a few more bits. But do dump to atmosphere valves work with the air flow meters in our cars? I have heard of the problems you can run into with unburnt fuel causing hesitation and backfiring when changing gear. But I only plan to run up to 14psi as a maximum. What do you reckon?

Hi All I am going to fit a Greddy Profec B spec 2 to my TT in a few weeks, and was just wondering if it is possible to drive an electronic boost gauge e.g. a Greddy one, from the boost controller, or one of the inputs into the controller, instead of having to plumb two boost pressure sensors into the engine bay? If this isn't possible, then is anybody else out there using a Spec 2 with the boost display? If so, what's it like to read on the move? Do you really need a gauge as well? Cheers, would also appreciate any recomendations for someone in the London area who you would trust to fit the boost controller to a Z, though I might have a go myself! Dere…

Z's Just failed its MOT on back bearing n/s forked ,o/s side not that bad but getting there ,the bloke at the MOT place said the bearings are about £130 each and £40 to fit them each.Does that sound fair or is there somewhere cheaper ?

Red Zed Asda patchway 4pm 2day?????????????????????

apart from the likley hood of failing an mot, err bothered, im feeling the need to decat. For obvious reasons i want to get rid of my cats but after speaking to ryan at ztech and reading a thread in the tuning and mods part of the FAQ, i get the impression that they are the main cause of turbo failure, and the changing of PCV valves/ seals, cant remeber which is correct, can help prevent this happening WTF is a PCV valve/ seal???? :confused: Are they expensive to change/ check??? :confused: If, and thats a BIG IF, who sells them and how much. Ive had a quote of SUMO power and they want £284 +vat+p&p. which works out at £350 i think... is this a …

OK i know the reading should be .42 volts but can someone tell me where i need to place the red and black of the volt meter to read this? Cheers

Now as you all know, I have become a Zed guru in the last month or so :rofl: , but I am now stumped on this one. My spoiler brake light works fine but the ones either side dont? Fuses are fine, bulbs are fine. Any Ideas you lot. :smash:

Looks like I am going to the auto lecky before I get a ticket, unless anyone can help. Main beam ok, dipped beam dead checked bulbs, checked fuses, all ok tried earth, no difference. weird thing is I am sure one side went off a few minutes before the other followed suit, but i was driving so I am not sure. any advice?
