I was in the red import in the inside lane as you went past in the outside. Sadly I was paying very little attention to what was going on around me and only noticed you once you'd gone past. :slap:

i want to have a go at fitting new turbos myself well i suspect my mate will lend a big hand now he had a quick look , he recons it can be done from under the car and the engine dosent need to come out,is this right any thoughts on this. what sort of time should this sort of job take? steve

Anyone know anything about these? I have one that came with the car and it's not turning the engine off anymore. :( I've tried searching for them on the net to no avail, though a lot of people seem to have them. Cheers, Ian.

This Zed ownership thing is becomming a bit of a bu66er. Now, after spending thousands, I need a gearbox rebuild as my second synchro is apparently bu66ered. Does anyone know of a good place to take it to have the job done. I live in Reading, (I know, but someone has to!!) so the clsoer the better. Definately losing heart in it now but it's gotta be fixed. Any ideas would be great. Cheers. :cry:

Right then all, i have fitted my Blitz boost controller all but the connections under the bonnet. I just cant work out what pipes to connect and what not to. I fitted this to my 200sx in around an hour but this dam complicated z is annoying me. Any volenters to come finish it off? £50 cash waiting. Oh i live in Gloucester by the way

As I haven't got Paint Shop Pro, only the bloody imaging software that comes with Windows, what's the best way to re-size say a large JPG picture? Cheers :confused: :confused:

Me was just putting my foot down heading down slip road onto M4 when saw you coming over roundabout from Taplow end. Who was that sleek looking red zed taking in the sights of Slough?? :hyper:

I have to change my set of Toyo Proxes T1-s - unfortunately they're all worn down with a big nail in one. They've been on 1 year but with big BHP etc. and some fast road driving they're going and need replacing for the MOT next week. I have looked at mytyres.co.uk but my local Kwik-fit which I use alot can do me a set of Pirelli P7000 (directionals) for £700 all in. Front 265/30/19, rear 235/35/19. Think it compares well price wise. Toyos on "mytyres" came out around £650 but then the fitters charge about £50 for the fitting, plus the order can take over a week which I don't have time for. I think the Toyos may be slightly better than the P7000 but I think…

Can anyone one recommend the best set of lowering springs with the best price?

Right, this prob has been going on for a while now. At slow speed all seems well, round town etc. On the motorway everything is ok, untill I put my foot down. Then it coughs, splutters and generally doesnt seem to want to do much, sounding very rough at the same time. Now this doesnt happen all the time, sometimes it will do this, sometimes it'll work properly, sometimes it'll do a little of both :confused: Also if I keep my foot to the floor, it will build up slowly, but then the cat overheat light will come on. If I gently build up the preasure on the peddle, then I dont seem to have a problem :confused: It was put on tony's ConZult at the last midlands mee…

My ones are pretty badly correded and stuck together with electrical tape. Where can i get new ones? Preferably in the uk. Cheers

Hiya peeps Im new to the boards and am in need of some advice. I own a 91 auto Jap import and am finding that when I put my foot down there is a sudden pick up then the revs die down rapidly until i take my foot of the pedal, also, when i'm doing approx 50 - 60 mph and slam my foot down she stutters to pick up sometimes not at all. do either of these sound familier to any one? :cry:

Hiya Think I'm looking to sell my Zed (said it before, I know, but I just got married and my priorities have changed). Need advice on pricing, and possibly whether anyone here might want it. It's a 1994 TT Jap, metallic blue, 17'' alloys, two new exhausts, 11 months MOT. All the usual (air con, targa roof). Its got about 81000 miles on the clock (I think thats what the kilometers convert to last time I looked). It had a 60K service last year and has hardly been driven since. Now the bad points.. It needs two new front tyres (they are legal, but only just because the inside edges are low, but they passed the MOT) Leather is a bit below par (especially the …

is there anywhere that sells in the uk the plugs for the top of the ignition coil, what are on the end of ht leads on normal cars if that make sense

Should i use and how much if i'm also changing the filter?

My Zed is off the road cos the exhaust needed to come off again!!! (Sore subject!) I was wondering if I could drive my brothers car on my insurance as the policy states that I may drive another car with the owners permission. The only problem is that he hasn't got it insured, but does this matter as on my policy it doesn't state that the other driver has to have the car insured? Cheers, Shaun

Just changed the plenum yesterday put it all back the together and in just will not tick over ,it starts last for 1 min if that .Any ideas what I've fogot before I get the forking big hammer out :xxx: it looks ok, ungrateful forking car

Spent the whole weekend working on the zed I purchased from Arthur a few weekends ago, which despite being a lovely car has skinned my knuckles enough, hwoever fitted the engine must have been ghenghis Khan and his brother , 1 non of the spring clips on the injector plugs were in place, so they were just push fit, the rubber intake pipe had the jubilee clip missing from the front end and the rear was loose, so was the double clamp on the lower end of the metal pipe, the story was the same on the other side, except that the front end of the metal pipe was oval shaped with some not so pretty hammer marks on it, several of the vac pipes were split , cut, or unclamped. the T…

I let Baggins drive my car at the weekend, he confirmed what I already suspected, my car just isn't as fast as it should be, so were thinking maybe the Cats have collapsed as there seems to be some restriction. How can you tell if they're working ok? And don't say Decat the fooker, because it's done 115K on original turbo's and I can't afford to replace them yet.

Hi Troops, After fitting 2 replacement 2nd hand heads, (GOOD NICK) and 2 turbos, on start up it is very noisy round about the tappet or cam vicinity !!! Engine flush and filter and oil change in order you think ??? Put new oil in, but maybe too thick methinks ?!?!?! Any help, please fire away :confused:

Does the inhibitor curcuit need to be shorted to allow the Z to start after a manual conversion or does removal of the auto box mean it will just work? If so how do I do it?

Where the bleeder goes on the drivers side wing, there are a few connectors mounted that obviously aren't there on a manual car. What are they and can they be removed or do they need relocating. The car has been in bits so long I can't remember what plugged into them.

Was it a TT????
