back in the paint shop. when i had my car painted it was fine but after a monthor two a few tiny micro blisters. we recone the blissters were caused by a solvent attack on two very diff paints that were not left long enough to dry between coats, and that caused a tiny bit of mouister that was traped to work its way to the surface in form of a tiny microblister. any way as promised im painting the bonnet orange to as well as the front valance. pics to follow soon.

After getting badly cut up 3 times in the last 24 hours I am seriously considering fitting Daytime Running led lights! Now I know that there are a lot of crap drivers out there. (I should know I've probably let loads loose on the road :whistling:), but I'm starting to think that the combination of my low and dark coloured car is a contributing factor. The latest incident involved an LGV changing lanes and nearly running over the top of my bonnet! Most led running lights look nasty to me although I quite like the low ones on the Merc C Class. Has anyone successfully fitted any? May have to bite the bullet and take safety over looks.

As you may recall, Just over a month ago, I repalced my Zed. Well it is MOT time and it has failed big time, it looks like they have found a load of rust around the sill, inner arches and seatbelt mount areas. Also excessive blue smoke so failed its emmitions, which I had had once but stopped and I have been speaking to Jeff about getting the PCV valves replaced. Not looking forward to going home tonight as I am going to haver to explain to the better half why a month old car is going to either cost a lot of money to get right or be scrapped.

can anyone advise where i can get the replacement material or similar? im putting my interior back together and want to get it re trimmed. its all stretched and ripped at the edges thanks

Been working on the car today and took the front wing off for the first time. Found this black canister: What is it and what does it do? I also found this on the fuel line. Any body seen one before? It's magnetised too.....

Have we any members on here from Ipswich?

Is it possible to change the seatbelts from the doors to the actual car pillars?? If so how has anyone gone about it.

Had to pass my MOT today in Spain and took a pic of the Z while it was on inspection...thought I´d share it with all of ya:)

I searched for ages last night looking for the info on the egr manifold bung and knew you posted the dimension but cant seem to find it, probably in a post not started by you lol

Hi, I am trying to find a supplier of new coil pack connectors, but can only find them overseas, does anyone know where I can get some? Cheers Dan

Sold my z on sunday and want a manual one. Put an offer on this and won it but after speaking to the guy, its been welded on the front floor pans around the jacking area, needs a wheel arch sorted (rust) and the l/h roof under the targa has rust. Then if you look close at the passenger side lower quarter near the door it seems to be a different colour. Am I being too fusy but living in N.Ireland, its not exactly on my door to go and look at it. All advice would be appreciated.. here is the link and the winning offer. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350871828979?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 thanks guys Derek.

Hi Guys New to this so bare with me guys !!! NEW to Forums NEW to ZX's (But LOVE these cars already) Please help if you can. I have a 1992 non turbo, when purchased it used to change gears quite hard (just the 1st to the 2nd) and would only change at about 3000rpm. had the transmission oil changed and the Halfords machanic put too much in it. but the car was still doing the same. took it to Zedworld (great guy) advised me to have the loom check by an auto-elecrician and get rid of some oil. But due to work being so busy I have not had the time to do anything. So the ZX was parked up for a week, but I took it out yesterday, and found that the …

Over the past month or so I've been collecting a steady Shipley of parts and kit. The final bits arrived today from CZP: This is on top of the new exhaust, the 350z steering wheel, new silicone hoses and couplings, alloy reverb, subframe and diff bushes etc etc. Just need to find the time now!

Hello Can anyone direct me to a company where I can get a new up rated torque converter from in the UK Thank you Ron the newbie

I've had a flocking idea for my glovebox. The glovebox on the Z is a hard and cheap looking plastic. As they're now getting on, the finish is not quite 'showroom' and I was thinking about getting it flocked so that it feels a looks a little nicer. When I mean the glovebox, I mean the plastic liner. My old E90 M-Sport had one and it felt quite nice. Wondering if anyone's had this done before? Would do mine in black, but possibly dark grey?

To try and get my stillen gtz front lip to fit, after I received it the other week I tried to fit and found it wouldn't, after successfully trying the fit on z32bolts car (thanks buddy) just to confirm that it was just my z being off. I realised that my smoothed bumper was the issue, the lip simply would not fit as the slats in the original bumper would not give enough for me to hook it over the ends of the bumper. ( other stock z's won't have this issue if you have the original stone chip) I think there was soo much hardener used in the paint the bumper simply wouldn't flex. So after some sun and working on different cars all yesterday I decided by 5 pm I would g…

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my digital clock in my zed sometimes it comes on and off and it resets the time as well which is annoying can any one help me if there is a way to fix it.

on the light controls one screw hole was broken in half and wouldnt hold tightly so i used some quick steel and made it whole again :) it was quite simple fitted the screw all the way in its tightened place and then applied the quick steel over the missing half. then left i to dry and wallah!

ive finally replaced my pods and ill be damned if i start drilling holes in it!! the alarm light was on top behind the boost gauge and the rear fog lights switch was on the inside of the pod, both on the ride side pod. firstly id like to have a separate switch for the rear fogs on the control panel. theres a space for a switch which is for the cruise control. if someone can donate just that switch or one that would be awesome. if i cant have it the way i plan then how can i wire the rear fogs to the front fog switch. so that both front and back are controlled from one switch :)

ive got the heated switch and didnt really think far ahead on this but, ive got electric folding mirrors on mine. i want to some how add the heated switches to mine or vice versa and have one. can this be done? or will have to source another one thats complete, thats if there is one.
