hello and good evening all should the rear fog illuminate when front fog switch is operated i have a jap spec 91 z if it should then fuses or bulb ? :confused: cully z

Finally put the dash back together today, was testing out all the buttons etc.. Theres a problem with the fog lights. I press the button and sometimes the lights only come on very dim, like so dim when i put the sidelights on it gets brighter ;) Bout half the time they come on normal, the rest they come on dim. Likely to be a problem with the switch or the relay? Anyone else had this problem? CheerZ :)

just recently whenever i go over a bump, and in the zed a 5 pound note feels like a bump, the open door warning light flashes in time to the bump, sounds like a loose connector as it sounds like i can hear a solenoid click, or it could just be another rattle coinciding with the bump were would i find the sensor to check it out. thanks in advance rob

Spent ages on the zedworld site, and know exactly what I want. trouble is there is no way i can get up there and back - impossible, also dont want to order it all by m/o and then get some yts kid given the job in a reputable garage down here (yes, i know we all need to learn - but not on MY car;) ) so... anybody know either a very good garage south of london competant enough to undertake the work OR any other manafacturers of bodykits down here who supply/fit fine and dandy extras to make the car look even more mental?? all help appreciated vicky x x

Am I right in thinking the TT has two settings for the suspension that can be changed in the car? If so where is the button? I just remebered I couldn't find it when I went in a TT the other day.

just a quicky folks, all dials and gadgets light up as per normal at night, but does the drivers(possibly passengers) window controls light up or not, one would think they do as they obviously have power there. Was going to pull apart saturday, but if not, no need to pull apart and go to halfords..... ta!! vicky x x

Well my Zed spent a week in Torque IC's workshop in Ashford and has now returned fully serviced and runs much better than ever. I had the RPS Clutch and Flywheel kit that I got from Smithy installed. This makes a huge difference. Much quicker off the mark, engine breaking is also improved but you have to be carefull not to stall it in traffic. Also had some cooler HKS's plugs fitted. They also removed the silencer that was in my exhaust, sounds awesome (though much louder). Feels a bit quicker to, maybe it's my imagination but I wonder whether the silencer was sapping some power. During the service they found a small black tube inserted by the fuel…

Anybody noticed this months' Redline? Bright yellow zed with a hideous flame pattern up it from australia... How could somebody do that to it!??! Sniff... it's even got flame pattern *inside* the car....

luckily... if you can call it that its on my clio.. happened on the m56 this morning... question is, how do i make sure everything is lined up again when i fit a new belt, i know on the bottom end there are the timing marks, but what about the top end cam/ valves etc?

Does anyone owned a Black Uk Auto on here with the Reg B3OOX, before ??? It sounds familiar but just trying to get some info on it...

Had a bit of a race with a Sierra Cossie, he was ever so slightly faster up to 80, then started reeling him in. He even had flame comming from his exhaust when he changed gear :D Good bloke though, got a wave too. I do think he'll need a new engine / turbo's soon from the ammount of blue smoke comming out of the back, had to switch my aircon to recirc to stop being gassed! Disclaimer: My car is completely standard :D Mike

It's dumb question time :) Since Courtesy refer to left hand drive cars, do I still need one driver side and one passenger side sensor for my UK spec car to get the correct cable lengths

Went past one of those damn speed enforcemnt vans today and pretty sure it was in use since I could see quasimodo sat behind the camera in the back of the van. Only problem is my Valentine One didn't make a peep. Went past it again after cleaning the lens just to make sure. :) It's a model that is only a year old and claims to cover European frequencies so are the filth using using a new range of frequencies or have I missed something.:confused:

Is anyone free to do this on Saturday 1 March ?? would really appreciate some help here. All costs will be reimbursed of course !!! Please get in touch if you can help.

Hi Chaps, Can anyone advise me where I can get my hands on a owners manual for my Z? I have tried my local Nissan dealer and they cannot get hold of them anymore. Any ideas? Thanks, BATS

Hi guys, now, not trying to sound like some cheap shate but does anyone have a copy of the conzult softrware? It just seems that £250 is a lot of money and we all could do with it in theory! If this question is bang out of order then I apologise...:(
