Hi I needed to ask you another question about the hoses. Im gonna replace all of the hoses if i find out that the hoses are bursting. The problem being that nissan charged me £43 for 2 hoses and if i go to them again ill end up broke. Is there any1 else who can supply me with hoses who wont rip me off. And finally how much am i looking at labourwise and part wise to replace the hoses in the car roughly. Thanks again Fas (shitting himself large financially) :( :confused:

Hey guys! Just an FYI: I'll be running the DTA-Motorsport stand demoing and selling ConZults for the 300ZX, 200SX (S13-15) and Gti-r's at JAE Billing this weekend. I'm hopefull we won't need our wellies or a submarine to get around the field but please drop by for a chat. We will also be featuring our special show vehicle (a heavily modded 300ZX) in the afternoon (when it gets in from Holland - fingers crossed) as well as selling a few Apexi induction kits and kit. Hope to see you there! Regards, Danny PS - I will not be able to check the forum for replies this afternoon but for any queries please send an e-mail to sales@zaat.com.

This will be my third ****ing PTU now,Jeff has very kindly helped by lending a 2nd hand one,does anyone else have the American version of it???????

Hi All, The test for the air reg in the manual says to clamp the hose just in front of it and see if the revs drop. Problem is I just can't get at the hose immediately before the air reg/just after the IAA and the run is too short to clamp effectively anyway. I clamped it just before the IAA as this was easier to get at - sure enough revs dropped to zero. My question is: Will the test work when clamped before the IAA or will it give a false reading?? AndyDuff! Surely you must have an opinion! (PS I haven't forgotten I still owe you for wheels). Anyone got a spare Air regulator knocking around? Cheers! RobH

Hello there folks, Well my PCV valves and hoses finally arrived yesterday. I've had a look under the bonnet and I just can't see where they are !! There are a couple of threaded valves that go into the inlet manifold but the hoses look nothing like the ones that came with the valves in the post. Can anyone help or am I just going blind? Thanks. Martin.

Guys Im just wondering if anyone else has ordered from them and had any problems with them. My girlfriend ordered a red shift boot, an e-brake boot and a trunk carpet with a big red Z in the middle, this was back in the middle of march. The two boots came but the carpet never did, the carpet cost her almost a weeks wages in canadian funds. After many phone calls and e-mails Steve from z-toyz said it must have been lost in the mail. So I asked him if he would ship another, he said no problem or we could have our money refunded, but I chose to have the new carpet shipped. He responded, I sent it to the embroidery shop, that was june 26, since then I have sent two or three e…

Hi If anyone is taking a laptop and conzult to Billing would you mind hooking it up to me zed to help diagnose my possible TPS/autobox troubles? Thanks in advance :) Pete

Hi all Yesterday when accelerating moderately off a roundabout, my (stock) boost gauge went to 0 psi as usual but then just stuck there. Now refuses to move one bit unless ignition is switched off. Starting the car flicks it to the middle again. Car idles fine and is delivering the goods power wise. Any suggestions on what / where to check? Cheers.

Just a rough question which i needed a answer 4. how many water hoses are there at the rear of the engine bay. I had to replace 2 of the heater matrix hoses and now it has sprung another leak so im clueless. i just wanted to know what it could be and what are the chances its the heater matrix. Many thanks Fas

Just cleaning the car (UK model) up ready for travelling down to bling tomorow and I notice the passenge side front wheel arch liner is a bit askew. I pulls back and notice inside is a green box. Having removed enough of the liner I pull this green box out to see it has relays in it (its damaged and cracked after previous owner had a front corner nasty!). Then one of the wires jumps out of it (big white un). Oh ########! But on examing the wire end it is corroded so hasnt been connected for donkeys years. Car is still working fine but I havent got a clue what the box is. Have looked on the Latvian and South African sites to no avail. Any one any ideas??…

can anyone tell me where to buy this wide arch kit and a rough price for fitting? how many wide archers going to billing? cant wait to see your cars in the flesh.

I'm building with a mate an ICE install for the ZX. The problem we're facing at the moment is finding the easiest and safest way through for the power cable from battery in the engine compartment to the inside of the car. Any ideas? Thanks. Geoff.

I keep meaning to ask this question but forgeting when im on the site, when idling if you blip the throttle very very lightly it seems to sort of stall, but it doesnt if you know what i mean. if you do it while under the bonnet you can hear the folowers rattle very slightly for a split second Is this just common for a paranoid zed owner? JIM:)

Dont know if anybody has seen these or is even interested, but I've just got a brand new clear rear lense kit for under £40 ( including shipping ) from a guy on eBay. He has 7 kits left as far as i know. I can give you the item number if anyone is interested. Just a thought.

Assuming that the gremlin in my motor can be sorted - soon, please :mad: I'll change the induction; anything to choose between what's available? Anyone used the Max Power Kit? thnx btw fully comp ins £302; mind you I am over 40, er 50....oh, alright over 60 but only a little bit.:D

Has anyone any info or prices on ZEES exhausts.They have massive stainless tailpipes!!! anybody know out about em?? Many thanks

I had the volvo serviced this week, found a fault in the ECU, £600 to replace. UNIPART now do an ECU repair service, with a proposed 48 hr turnaround. Sent mine off today will let you know how it goes

Bought my NA in May, direct import. Need to know if its been chipped etc as it goes well past the 112 restriction, and on and on ....... :D How will I tell if there is a non std or upgraded chip on the board..... Cheers

HEADERS:- Are they a good idea on the NA or too expensive for what they deliver. More glamour than clout...:confused: Racing Pulley:- again, good or bad. This I believe does give benefit. Bearing in mind I may go ahead with one or the other, whats the best way of contacting Jeff at Zedworld.... I've sent emails and left messages... no reply.... need prices please. :)

Guys, Gonna fit the main power lead for me amp to the battery after work, just wanna check that removing the power lead for all of about 1 min isnt gonna cause me any probs so I cant get home. Sorry if I am being stupid, but I am sure that this resets the ECU and I just wanna get home and not in safety boost!!:D :D Cheers for your advice. Mark. PS. Itsa good to be back.....;)

Can anyone tell me how to diagnose a seized or blown turbo? What procedures are there? Thanks in advance ..

looking forward to the show at weekend and then this happens, last week I started to have hesitation problems when accelerating from rounderbouts etc.., so I thought i would check my tps for conections etc.. after 2 hours of swearing i managed to get it back to the correct idle. but still have hesitation. mines a jap car tt, but have always run it on 95 unleaded, so I decided to bang 2 full tanks of super in, the car does feel better accelerating but still have the prob. this morning from standing start I planted foot down and nothing happened only a slow pickup got home and checked ecu codes 34 and 13 came up! and while driving home crawling in traffic the gearb…
