Well not just me after quite a long absence, but after 14 months in the bodyshop it's back! Quite frustrating it took so long but tbh the guy mothballed it while I was ill ! I'm hoping once there is mot and tax on it and I hit the roads I may just discover Zed love again...

All , fitting a new loom to my 93 tt auto , I want to test all of the engine sensors TPS,CAs, O2, etc etc , can anybody advise what values I should be testing each component for and how to do the test , and also how do I check the VTC solenoids for correct operation

Hi all , I need to test out my old loom for electrical faults , can anyone provide me with the correct diagram for a 93 tt auto engine wiring harness so I can ring the wires out please

Most are aware my car has presented some strange faults recently , running rich on the Pass bank , lean on the drivers side for example, anyhow , a new loom is now being fitted , and im also swapping the MAF, anyone know why my original MAF has 4 pins in it , but the loom 5 slots, and my replacement MAF 5 pins in it , corresponding with 5 slots in the loom. both MAfs share the same part number

Hi folks:) I'm looking for a front Strut Brace to fit to my car, preferably something wide, shiny (stainless/chromed) and that will fit OK with the throttle cable cover in place Maybe something specific with a Z or Nissan logo embossed/cutout Ebay/Google isn't really being my friend in this case and Luke over at Zcenrte doesn't have any on his site Can anyone suggest something good? Cheers Rich

Changed gearbox and still have no 3rd gear or 4th. Can anyone tell me the rpm of when each gear is selected driving normal speeds? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Well it took a month after I got my car back on the road for the DVLA to finally process my number plate application. First time it was rejected as my existing plate J95 UBM was apparently a private plate (I just thought it was an age related one) I still can't figure out if there was some meaning to that old Reg number but I signed a letter to relinquish it. Anyway finally yesterday I got my new plates on - oh and the sun made a half hearted attempt to come out too for once So I parked up and grabbed a few pics

After selling my Zed about a month ago, I've been kicking myself everyday I have to drive to work in my gay little C2 vtr. So have been looking for another Zed, and think I've found one! But its in Coventry. Was hoping that there was someone who could possibly go and look at it for me to make sure its not swiss cheese.

Hi Guys I am fitting skinz on the inner wings to tidy up the engine bay On the attached pic could someone just confirm..... I cut off the metal pipe B and attach it to rubber pipe A I can then remove the HICAS cylinders Does the other rubber pipe coming from the sterring fluid reservoir go to the clutch? The three unused connectors pointed at by the purple arrows C - are these redundant (to do with when car was an auto) and can I get rid of these connectors What is the other wire I labelled X? It attaches to a wire that is taped up with insulting tape which looks like some modification was made here. Any ideas? I was chatting with …

Its not often a day comes together when the sun is shining, T-Bars are off, the roads are clear, the Zed is running so sweet thanks to a lot of guys here (thanks) and the route takes into account some sweeping, bendy roads and lanes...What a morning i had, You can keep my old 4.4 V8 BMW X5, the 320 CLK Merc and the BMW 330 ci M sport Convertible, Driving my Zed was just the perfect car to be in. It was better than ...er...Chocolate!!! What a Day....

Anyone else think this is over priced? That shell is toast! m.ebay.co.uk/itm/181428870921?nav=SEARCH

My car was working fine, then mid drive beep beep beep from the glovebox and 5psi max boost. The boost controler is beeping persistently and displaying no obvious error codes. I have fiddled and fiddled with it to no avail. There is no obvious problem in wiring or plumbing. Please help.

Not sure how it come about but approx four years ago my local garage fit me a Banner battery very similar if not a 068 type, it was the one down from the one they should of fit really according to the catalogue but it owes me nothing, as for most of this period I have been adding and fiddling with the car so hence flattening the battery on a constant basis and this took it's toll. The size of this Banner was 240mm in length, 175mm tall and in width, I think the one for my car they should of fit was 190mm or 202mm tall - enabling the stock clamps to fit. Below is a pic of said battery on the tray, please note I have removed the fins on either side of the tray - I…

Hi guys i replaced all fuel lines yesterday but managed to bend and break the standard fuel pressure regulator replacing the fuel lines below it . is it worth replacing it with an aftermarket adjustable type with gauge seen them on ebay for around £30 .having trouble finding a second hand standard one thanks .

On a series 4 car, should it have the Nissan fairlady badges etc on the it? As you can see, my car has nowt! Secondly if so, are they dealer only?

I'm told R32 ones do, but do R33? The internet isn't providing me answers on this :(

i've just managed to get my spare laptop up and running with Scantech, Datascan and the freebie Conzult. and a thought struck me. Have we got a list of members who have this facility who are willing to hook it up to Zed's who can get there or would take it to imobile Zeds within reason.. If it does not exist put me down for it, I live in Meldreth, Between Royston and Cambridge. Rich

Slowly getting it in shape. a little fresher looking for the 21st century

I would like to start at subject on BIG POWER clutches, as it looks like some have been dissapointed with "slipping" situations on new assemblies... Tomfromthenorth example recently is the risk I could face, and if ordering a clutch for self assembly, the involvement in return and exchange could be a difficult one! My experience on Z32 "boosted power type" is first from the red 300ZX TT from Gary (RIP) that I brought back to France. The engine was fully modified and Dyno runs were showing 505 Bhp at wheels. I never had any problem with clutch sliding, so I looked at the invoices to find the type installed. The model is a RPS Carbon-Carbon twin disk model, ful…

I'm having issues with my diff and I'm considering an NA swap. I know the NA swap gives a better acceleration over the TT, but with the sacrifice of top end. My question is, what sort of sacrifice am I looking at? I'm prepping it for the track / 1/4mile So just thought I'd ask.

well guys today while fettling wires under my dash i noticed that the steering column isn't attached to the plate that's bolted to the firewall so i can see light from outside in the engine bay, this strikes me as odd as i have no idea how it could've happened as the top is mounted correctly... only thing i have thought up is maybe it was replaced at one time with a swb one?? not sure if they are different though thanks

Ok well I'm in a dilemma and can't decide what bumper is best! Both have pro and cons but what would you guys pick?

Can anyone please help by sending me some links on how to wire a rear fog light to the o/s/ light. I have a M.O.T coming up and this needs to be done I already have a wire to the back from the front fogs but all the rear lights come on when you push the fog light button any help or advise will be appreciated.
