Hi - could someone give me a list of what tools I will need to replace my battery. Seems like a stupid question I know but the car is 50 miles away and I'm getting the train tomorrow so need to know what tools to take with me. MOT time on friday, fingers crossed all goes well! Cheers

Just after some advice on wether I have got this correct for a stock NA zed Anybody fitted these wheels? Rota GTR Front 8.5"x18" ET30 Rear 9.5"x18" ET30 Stock brakes and suspension. Thanks guys.

A11XXP Yellow Zed very tidy over at Goldthorpe Barnsley drove past whilst on my way back to Manchester.

Probably a very easy question for those mechanically minded. One of my fuel injectors has failed so I am intending to get a fullset from ConceptZperformance but wanted to know what is the "standard size on the 1993 manual Twin Turbo (UK car). Their webpage suggests it 370cc but the choice available is extensive. Everything on my car is standard engine-wise and I wanted to keep it that way. Can anyone confirm the size for me please? Thanks

from what I have been reading the manual tt balnce tube have one more pipe fitting out let or is that the auto ? any one got any pics side by side

Has anyone mounted their front washers on the underside of the hood? How did you do it? Mine were previously mounted in the scuttle panels but with the replacement of the old trim they moved to the wiper arms but I've since changed the wipers and the fitment doesn't work anymore. I don't want to mount them on my hood so looking for alternative options...

Hi guys justa quick question. I got my zx mapped with nistune about 6 months ago. At that time it had a cone air filter, decatted exhaust, and was pretty stock otherwise. It made 335bhp, wasnt that happy with that:(. Anyway I've since fitted bigger z centre side mounts and a new fuel pump, question is do I need another remap? And what power gains do you reckon I could get? Thanks!

My steering rack looks like it's past its best, is it best to replace it or can it be repaired? If it needs replacing, do I need to go new or will a used one be ok. If it's repairable how East is it to do it?

is any one on here running bored throttle bodies ? I see z1 over in the us used to sell them but don't anymore due to leaks. I see some people have fitted 240sx bodies but need a lot of work to fit them. can anyone on here do that work mod them to fit ? is there any other options for running a bigger throttle bodies ?

After a left or right turn and I accelerate there is a momentary rattle that's seems to be coming from the front passenger side area. The rattle starts at low pitch then phases out soon after.. It's very hard to explain the noise I will try to take a video to show the noise. Thanks

Is this the cruise control ECU you need?

well i did a 100mile round trip today just for the hell of it, plus the first drive after sorting my electrical gremlins etc, so it was a roof off day, hay on wye was one of the many towns i passed through and it made me smile the amount of people walking past while i was sat in traffic saying things like 'wow it's a z', 'that's a zx not seen one of those in years', 'what a lovely example of a 300'

Has anyone done this? I'm going to do mine, but haven't seen anyone else do it yet. I'm using the master bushing kit, will I need anything else? I'm then going to fit the engine to it and fit to the car from underneath, has anyone done it this way, any problems I should know about?

Gents, I've done a few searches but cant quite get the right answer so here goes, Now as we know the underneath of our zeds rot like nothing else, so a couple of years ago I cleaned under the zed, repaired all the rust and coated all the underside with a product called aquasteel that promised to keep rust away http://www.aquasteel.co.uk/ also used stonechip on everything including the subframe and then waxoil. now the zed has been stored in the garage for two years and not seen any rain, it had an mot lastweek and I was surprised to see that all the underside rear subframe and rear area was all a nice rust colour, the guy in the mot station said it w…

Hi all, I bought a lovely zed at the weekend, Unbelievably clean example with some nice mods to keep me happy for now :). I've started transferring some parts over already and cleaning bits up as I go along. Big thanks to Downhilldave it was a pleasure to meet you im now a happy zedder again :)

Car's been sat for a little over 2mths now with clutch problems. Managed to sort that but needed to jump the car each time to get it in/out of the garage. Took it for a 40min drive today and when I got home tried testing the battery by simply restarting the engine and it's still flat as a pancake. I would think that with a 40min drive it should have taken some charge! Not sure why but would this be pointing to a new battery. Thus one's had no problems whatsoever since I put it in about 4+ years ago. Can anyone recommend a place to get a battery? Also - can anyone remind me of the spec we need as I can't find the paperwork at the moment! On a related no…

How easy is it to remove the steering rack with the engine in? And is there any differences between a tt and NA one

How can I drain the fuel tank using the 4 wires on the pump?

What the best way to remove the carpet without damaging it?

Hi guys, Got my car back on Thursday after a manual conversion and its great, seems a lot faster. My only issue is when I put my foot on the clutch you can hear the release bearing quite badly spinning. Is this standard on a manual or is the bearing knackered. Hate the thought of having to get the box pulled out again.
