im getting back into the zed and currently sorting the niggles out, one of them is that the steering wheel needs to be about 2 oclock to drive straight, is this simply that it hasnt been put back on correctly or is my tracking that badly out, i do seem to get a pull to the left when i let go, but is that just road camber as it seems to vary on different roads, what effect does the steering wheel not being on straight have on power steering, hicas etc. thanks in advance

Hey Guys, I'm still looking for my first Zed but am comfused about why the many cars in Autotrader and this site arent selling?! Especially at those great prices! If I had the money I'd get one immediatly. Is it cos its such an underated car and not many people know about them or are there hidden problems? I've always wanted one but I dont want to be dissapointed when I eventually get it. As they say, 'never meet your heros'..... Cheers Future Zed owner :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

Is there a differance on NA TT Jap etc...or will they all fit? Cheers

The starter motor would not turn over when the ignition was turned on. Switched off and checked connections to battery, which were okay. Turned on the ignition again - this time no ignition electrics at all. Non-ignition electrics (head lights, side lights, interior light, seats etc.) work okay. Battery and all the fuses still checked out okay. It sounds as though it may be an electrical fault, probably linked to the autogearbox start inhibitor. Anyone experienced this problem or know what the problem may be ? Cheers

Heard that he is now working for Beadles Nissan in Gillingham as works controller/foreman.

Hi All :) My first posting, :bow: starting to look for a Zed in the South West area. I saw a nice auto TT last night, however the tick over after a short run (from cold) was ramping up and down all over the place. Is that normally cause for concern and walk away? As this was my first viewing of a Zed, I cannot make a comparison with others yet. Cheers Darren

Anyone sourced front top strut mounts from anywhere other than Nissan for a uk 300 tt 1993. Cheers John Crisp

Well, after a great drive home, Never went above 80, I got back into my home town, decided to put my foot down a bit, and something went... I don't know what, but now the engine is burbling rather then purring and it's not got any power whatsoever compared to before it happened. I think I may have hit the rev limiter for a brief second, and then it seemed to lose all grunt and it's running really rough :( What do I need to do to check it? Can anyone come and take a look for me, I'm in Braintree, Essex. I'm really gutted, I've only had it 1 hour and I've had to park it up for fear of doing damage by keep driving it... Please help guys I'm thoroughly gutted right now…

Andy, Have taken you advice mate and these babies arrived today! Well, who can configure these? I am sure i can fit them but not sure I'd wanna drive me car afterwards? Any ideas guys?? Tanvic?? :duffer:

Guys, In March 2003, VMTP supplied and fitted a Torque Converter for my Z32 TT Auto box. It now seems as though it is on its way out, when the car is placed in to 'N' or 'P', theres a right racket coming from the bell housing(had the car on a ramp). Now, I have been advised it could be the TC or it could be the Drive plate (whatever this is?). In August last year, VMTP also rebuilt my gearbox (Yeah I have all the bad luck!!) so wouldnt that have had to take the torque convertor off again?? Basically, I have booked the car in with them for the 1st of October, but I really dont want another huge bill from them, not when I have already spent nearly £2K with…

Looking to get new alloys for the zed, :hyper: and don't worry this ain't a question about which look best or what are the specs :x: ..I've got all that... (it is PCD =5 x 114.3, Offset = +35...42 mm, Centre bore = 66 mm) right... Question is... I've got 17s on at the mo and apart from the cr4p turning circle they suit fine. But I'm tempted to go for 18s, which look awesome. Is there any detriment in going up one size more? For example, will the turning circle get worse, and how will it handle with 2 sizes above standard? Do I have to watch out for rubbing etc. ? I know the tyre height will need to be reduced to compensate for overall wheel diameter. What…

Have quite a lot that needs doing to my Z which is sadly off the road again (fortunately only because of no tax this time), and would like to find somewhere local to me - York. I've had some work done at the Nissan garage in Malton, and while they were very nice people, they won't do things non-nissan to the car and charge quite a bit. I've no longer got a driveway or garage and so can't do the larger jobs myself :( Searched around quite a bit and not found anything other than the Nissan authorised place in Malton, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated :)

A mates just bought one of these cars and ive fallen in love with them and i must have one but as i know absolutly ZERO about them i was wondering if you fellas could help me get up to speed :) i'll be looking for a U.K spec because of insurance and iam not to bothered about the gearbox type as i expect both types to be rare in U.K spec :cry: so what to pay and to look out for? just one last thing what year did production start and finish ;) Many thx guys :bow:

It seems that I am getting detonation around idle on my car. It is around 1000rpm, below that and above that there is none, but on that particular RPM there is, what sounds like, detting. Sounds like there are stones rattling around the plenum. As many people know that I have just finished a rebuild, although the basic timing is correct the actual timing will be out. The idle is also very low and unstable. Can bad timing cause the detting at idle? I presume it can. The battery is also very very low and hardly manages to start the car. The battery is also not holding the charge, probably for 2 reasons; it is an old battery and it is has been off charge for 7-8 …

I keep seeing this Silver Z in Norwich Own up who is it. There is also a red one who i have now met and another bright red one occasionally parked in the knocked down multi story.

OK, so now it looks like my power loss is attributed to the fact one or both of my "cat's" have collapsed. My turbo's are OK, my intercoolers have been replaced and re-tested and I have ZERO boost leaks. :( I have a SCORPION stainless steel exhast, so does anyone know where I can get replacement pipes or second hand "cats"?? Does the whole system have to be dropped to put these on? Cheers Guys

fitted a new speed sensor the other day and i still got intermitent speedo and power steering problems. has anyone got a decent diagram of the whole circuit as i'm getting annoyed with it now. also now my engine has started running eratically at low throttle any ideas

Over the Weekend i was proper booting the motor down the dual carrage way and i mean proper you get the idea, and doing it for about 10 mile right anyway when i exited it and was driving normally everytime i put my foot down i got a big puff of smoke come out and i mean big. Obvisly this would be somthing to worry about but i let it cool down topped my water up which i had checked in the morning and was fine and has been since. Keep in mind it was a very hot day and was doing a fair bit.

Nice looking Zed mate - I was in the dark blue SWB going towards Ripon. Had just enjoyed a blast with the Targa panels off and was heading back into the city for an ice-cream in the Market Square.
