I feel a bit stupid asking this but im sure this is the place to ask what does the cruz cont button do ive had 3 zeds and never used this ,I must have pushed it when cleaning and a green light with cruise cont came on after a few mins of driving so I clicked off but don't know what it does

Hi as above do you have any or can you advise which is best. Ideally want it to be compatible with Android. Blue illumination. Thanks Dan

As I have changed my rear bumper I don't want to be having a fog light fitted to it. In order to avoid this I have utilised the centre panel and basically unplugged one side and replaced it with a red led fog light bulb. So basically the rhs will be reverse lights and the lhs will be fog light. My question is has anyone done this as simple as it sounds or would there be any issues with doing this. I am aware that there are units for sale.

Hi All, I'm really struggling to get any enthusiasm together to finish my Z and get it MOT'd for sale! It sounds stupid and lazy but everytime I set some time aside to work on it I seem to find something else to do!! It just needs pulleys, plenum, intercoolers, and a brake pipe re-fitting and it's good to go! Anyone fancy taking it off my hands? Open to offers Andy

Hi, Spoke to Pete Mac a while back, told me you are running a fairly stock 300 TT Auto, this is what i have, you may have seen me doing Z Club challenge, So i have from front Apexi ind- HKS side inters- JWT ECU From JeffTT- full Japspeed decat system, Apexi Boost con- HKS ALC- about 1.1 bar boost i am running at best 13.17 at 112, terrible 60ft 2.4 ish, i desparetely want to get into 12s before my health gets any worse or car expires, i am on a very very limited budget can you get me there and if so roughly how much am i looking at.

Hi everyone I'm LED converting the zed dash including all of the warning lights, and was wondering if anyone knew the fitment for the 'battery warning light' bulb? All the rest are T5 (and I got hold of some T5 fitment LEDs) but this is a bigger fitment. I've read all the stickies but can't find reference to this bulb (or were to get it in LED form). Also I have the additional illumination lights along the bottom of the plastic surround. these have a row of flat T5 bulbs where the plastic holder doesn't protrude much. Has anyone found LED versions of these? Also (I'll post separately for this) but the reason I am soon this is that my indiglo a have failed a…

Hi, been having this fuel smell for a while but it seems to be getting stronger. Don't know if it's this hot weather or not. My Z is running fine at idle and full load but noticed even after it's been stationary for a while hot or cold engine there is a strong fuel smell coming from what seems like the passenger side rear wheel. Can't see anything dripping down after driving, or leaving it at idle but just a very strong smell. No wet on my garage floor in the morning it's all just very weird! If anyone has an idea what it could be please let me know as the smell is only coming from this area. The only other thing is when going to fill up with fuel and undoing …

My car currently has the 60k service interval Iridium plugs, been told to change these for colder plugs. I am no expert so looking for advice from you guys. Car is a 93 Jap TT. Converted manual from auto so has standard auto turbos, Zedworld chip, Apexi single filter, ARC intercoolers, boost jets set at 1 bar, Japspeed decats turbo back exhaust. I'm planning in the future to get a nistune board and get it set up correctly as I'm sure it is over fuelling slightly. So what plugs should I run?

Is there any point of 550 injectors with stock turbos ? Thanks

Yesterday after all that polishing as a thankyou I let my cousin drive my car and twice I thought he stalled it. Today I was driving through the middle of Newcastle and I stalled at some lights, but I hadn't stalled at all and it would not start. It turned fine and occasionally sounded like it was trying to start but just wouldn't. I thought it was fuel related perhaps blocked filter or something having had the car stand and the way I always run it low and had just filled it higher than normal. Anyway unusually I had left the took kit at home so had to ring the AA. We realised the fuel pump wasn't whirring and got the boot floor up and cracked out a multi m…

figured ill ask my questions in one post instead of 3 separate posts after swapping the clocks i fired her up to see if everything is working which they are and noticed a ticking sound from the engine, is it because of low engine oil? or something else? i know it cant be anything to do with the clock. i did check the dip stick and its on the low side but not dry. i though since its been parked up for a while it may go away with being driven but i only took it down the road and back and after getting paranoid its something worse. and recently ive noticed only because ive been told, smoke coming out the back end when she first starts up but then goes away when d…
