Hi guys i was wondering if any one on here has the instructions in english on how to set up one of these? I have it installed apart from a little plumbing and want set it to 1bar but all the instructions are in Japonese.Anyone help? :confused:

Can the radiator be moved backwards a bit (towards the engine) without taking off any water hoses? Tried to fit my BOV's yesterday again and I can't get the fan out past the oil cooler. I tried to move that and snapped one of the bolts - they're all rusted solid so don't want to pursue that route. To get the fan out now I wanted to move the rad back a bit which would allow enough tilt to wiggle it past the air intake pipes. Nothing is simple on this car :mad:

Flashed you - looked like you realised and went for your lights but too late!

well, thought I would have a weekend of attaching bits!! fitted new apexi intake (Thanks to Chris@getgreddy;)) front strut brace (Thanks to Danny) and new hks dump valves complete with hard pipes (Cheers Ryan) well have fitted the d/v's as instructed, made sure all t pieces were secured with teeny tiny jubi clips so as airtight as poss (after idling problem discussed with Ryan) checked and double checked the clips onto the intakes themselves. now apart from needing to remove/cap off the factory recircs why should it do the following: 1.if shifted into park or Neutral it cannot settle at a steady idle goes from almost nothing to about 11/1200 then eventually cuts…

i have a jap spec decatted twin turbo and have recently fitted a mongoose exhaust. my garage has tols me that the manifold pipe has a hole in it so i wan to replace it. can i get a stainless steels one. if not can where can i get a front decat pipe. cheers marcus

Thanks for the wave (I was in a std Blue import), I missed it but the misses saw. I saw you dissappear up the road in the wing mirror. Looks like a nice job you've had done on the rear, different lights?

Still toying with the idea on some new alloys, preferably 19 inch. Depending on style of alloy, I might go for the bigger brake upgrade similar to Chris @ getgreddy's or 3g's, which mount the caliper slightly higher. Is there any chance the alloys wont fit with the brake conversion. Do I get the wheels I want, they order the brake upgrade and find they dont fit? Cant do the brake upgrade first as they wont fit on standard rims. Thanks in advance. Barry.

i have a bit of a problem havnt had the car that long all seems fine mechanically even got a new HKS superdragger on it but both the cats are dead so as this is an import can i de cat it or do i need to replace them and any idea where as the local nissan dealer wants an arm and both me legs :confused: :confused:

Hi... My z has a dead battery. Simple I hear you say, charge it up. How do you get the f'ing bonnet open if I can't get into the car? The locks are all electric and the key just revolves around with nothing opening. The rear hatch has no key because I have a bodykit on it, so no entry there either. I have taken the nose section off the car (where the 'Z' logo normally goes) and have taken off the air filter so I can see the latch, but I still cant seem to trigger the bonnet open cable... Any ideas what I can do? other than smashing a window?

I am going to be doing a big service on my car soon and I know its a good oppertunity to fit an underdrive pulley. I have looked through all the past post but can't seem to find a solid answer. I have heard they can be bad for you car, is this just a true and in what way do they damage the engine? Cheers guys, Justin ;)

Hi, I'm afraid its another speedo question! I have had my zed since January now and this issue has bothered me ever since. When I imported the car my agents took care of all the Uk conversions for me. All has been satisfactory apart from the odometer conversion. What they did was fit one of these electronic boxes so the speedo is all correctly calibrated to use the JDM dials. All they did was black out the "k" on the "kmh". The thing that bugs me is that the odometer is clocking up in miles now and not in kilometers. I mean it all looks a bit dodgy when I eventually come to sell it and I have to tell them that some of the odometer reading was run up in ki…

looking for conzult in kent or ZX expert especially near Canterbury, Dover etc

Morning all, Am going to try to take out my speedo housing today as i have a new surround to go in, how do i take the whole lot out so i can take off the plastic front to put on the new surround? Probably simple but then again maybe not so i dont want to break anything. Thanks everyone. Ant :D

Can anyone tell what size the factory speakers are and what size i can put in the origonal positions don't want an overly obvious install but want to replace the factory speakers with something a better. Neil

Does the ECU need to be reset when changing the chip? If so is there any other way of doing it rather than disconecting the battery for 2 hours. Cheers Scott

91 n/a auto has a problem with the auto box not changing at correct point much too high also on occassion engine at idle will rise to 1500rpm or so on its own. Had auto box itself checked by local specialist who said box itself was OK, have also fitted new tps with no effect. car was put on diagnostics and it seemed to be getting a spurious reading to the speedo & ecu even when tps unplugged car has been fitted with speedo conversion at some time also this problem has gone away once and is now back, when box changes at correct point the car is a joy to drive. The problem seems to be the signal to ecu maybe being corrupted and also has something to …

After 15 months of gurgling I finally emptied the b***ard out!!! :slap: Piece of cake. :hyper: The 2nd photo shows the yellow sh1te that came out! :nelson:

Do I need to reset the ECU? I imagine I do but just checking. Matty.

I pulled up at the lights right next to ya in my Punto rental by the Esso garage leading onto the A8 near the airport Friday about 5ish. Tried to get the window down to introduce myself as I saw your stickers, but the lights went and you cruised off. Cheered me up no end though seeing that zed as had a hell of day. Went on a Thames booz cruise the night before (free drink all night- drinking trebles), then clubbing till 3am, then off to catch my flight at 7am with the worst hangover I think I've ever had.:( :duffer: :( God knows how I made it through the day. :bow: Luckily me had the latest BM 750 V12 to pick me up from Heathrow....and relax :D Still, …

Are there any Zed specialists West/ South WQest London / Surrey way? It's gonna cost me so, soo much if I need to put my car on a flatbed, and so want to tow it, but can only tow the Auto 20 miles at 20mph without risking damage to the auto box. Cheers, David
