Hi!!! I am rebuilding a Zed with Wiseco, Eagle, new cranck, ATI pulley, Z1 clutch and flywheel etc.... In Spain, there aren´t company that make me a balancing crank with counter weights and Knife Edge...for example. Eagle Rod with Wiseco piston weights 1000gr aprox, and OEM pair weights 1300...I think is neccesary. Where can I send my crank, pulley, flywheel...etc?, Thanks!!

Hi Guys, Need some help. Whilst checking out the boot, I've noticed that after pulling the release lever, and going around the back, the boot wont open, I have to go back and wedge open the lever, go back, and then the boot lifts. If I use the key and lift whilst it is turned, the boot will lift. One thing that bugs me is that when using the lever or the key, there is no "click", which I would think is the lock releasing. So, is there something wrong with the mechanism,? I've taken off the lock and looked at it and it seems to operate ok. it even clicks. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Rich

Today the car was stripped of the last parts to be removed and is now looking very sad to how it was from the last 8 years of total pleasure owning it. Unfortunately I won't be looking for another zx for the time being as all the remaining finds from her will be going towards a deposit for a new house. But I will always remember it for how it looked just before the end. Hopefully one day I will get another one, but one thing is for sure I will be staying on the forum as I have met some fantastic people over the years on here and have had a huge amount of help from all the Kind members who have given up there time to help both on here and in perso…

Hi Guys, looked for threads regarding side lights cant find anything yet.. my problem i have, turn the lights on to sidelights nothing. turn main beam nowt main works,but as soon as you turn indicator on for either side then the side light comes on. The car is 1993 jdm TT my White 1. indicators side light and the socket are the 3 pin type. on the N/S there is an extra socket just dangling which i think must have been for the fog lights plug that in and the indicator and sidelight remain on at the N/S. there is no plug on the O/S but there is 2 wires that are bare, the wiring and is all to put butchered the car doesn't even have a horn. any help or advice guys …

It's the rears I'm trying to figure out. Someone reckoned they were the night garage ones but the shape does not seem right. Cheers guys

as you can see by the picture i have being a right plank and span the swb tt and hit the kerb. the back rear is buckled and will need parts replacing. i have most of the parts from a lwb tt breaker. is there any differences between the two models i will need to know about when switching the parts over

Hey, wondering if anyone knows about the ignition locks.. I've got one with the titanium key that i want to replace mine with... however it is different. mine is like in the diagram with a set of wires coming from near the front of the barrel.. the one i have to replace it with doesn't have these wires it just has a blanking plug there. can I just change the barrels over.. and if so how? cheers.

I have used tiger seal in the past but what I'm after is an adhesive that is red so it will match the car? Anybody know of any suitable?

Nice black z on A13 mcdonalds near corringham... Just noticed it used to belong to speedy S and was up for sale on here some time ago.... Any idea who has it now in the Essex area????

It's not often I ask for peoples opinions, I generally tend to go my own way with cars and sod what people think. I want to make sure I get this one right though. I've never liked the alloys that the car came with. The offsets are crap, and have spacers fitted. But with all the rest of the money I am throwing at the car over the next few months I can't afford a full set of alloys and tyres. So plan is to do a DIY refurb. I've done this before, so not phased by it. I'll be keeping the polished rim, but what are folks thinking about the centre spokes? Doing them silver just doesn't seem right, as it's too....dull. I've considered BMW Sepang …

Hi all! Just a quickie to let anyone interested know that I have discovered the whereabouts of a GRP boot lid with the set back window, I don't want it as I don't like them personally but I will be going to see it tomorrow, if anyone is interested give me a shout. Will move to for sale section if I collect it.

In running like a bag of shite part one, a faulty injector and corroded connectors were the culprit and sorted... Well if having issues with the electrics isnt bad enough with this weather, with the headlight issue still not resolved, when driving today all was fine until after a filling up at Tesco my car started running rough and lots of smoke out the left bank exhaust, i have a straight through mongoose system so is it still likely the left bank of the engine? I know the intake works opposite sides. Checked all the connectors, gave them a wiggle, but nothing changed, im hoping i havent got another injector gone bad. Bad smell of fuel, which makes me think inj…

Hi guys!! long story short, my car broke down in london on sunday morning (bear in mind I am from birmingham) and a very very helpful chap driving a black 300zx. registration plate A16 RBO pulled over and gave up a good hour or so of his morning just to help me out. even went and fetched some parts he thought may help me on my way. basically I forgot to take his name, but wanted to track him down just to simply say thanks again for all his help. its rare you come across people like this nowadays. I decided that a forum like this would be my best bet!! If anyone knows this guy could you please please get him to contact me. thanks in advance!!

Hi guys, Was bored at work so I thought I'd make a thread from start to finish of how I bought my zed shell from Sussex stu till now. I know I have a couple of threads with photos of respray and another with the build but thought I'd put all the pictures so to try and see how it came along... I still aint finished so I will just update it has I go along... This is how it looked when I 1st got it The engine bay I took it back to metal etch primed then seam sealer then 2k primer Then some 2k white

Well I've been zed less for not very long at all. I don't want to spend 3 or 4 grand on a running car because i enjoy my testicles where they are. Not hived where the sun doesn't shine by the Mrs if i were to spend that amount :lol: so I'm toying with the idea of buying one that needs some loving. Would need to be a TT and definitely a manual. needs to be sound body wise mechanically not too bothered how it is to be honest. I'll be keeping an eye out over the next few weeks/months so if you hear of anything then let me know :) it may be the right one for me :biggrin:

My turn to thank somebody again. A big thanks to Joely P, Joel saw that I was enquiring about a 3rd brake light which is for Jr's shorty. Joel contacted me and said he had one knocking around, and when I asked how much he wanted for it his reply was a big nothing. I received the brake light today, and it is like new. Thanks Joel, another member that is a credit to this forum, and shows great club spirit. Cheers buddy, and I hope I can some day return the kindness to you. Ian
