Evening all! Glad to see the club is still going strong after another long time away for me (no, I've not been inside, just yet another addition to the family and mad at work!) After covering only 500 miles in the last 4 years of Zed ownership (since "that rebuild"), I've finally decided to get her mapped. This has been partly prompted by my understanding MOT tester's ultimatum on my emissions ("I'm not passing her again next year Steve - get it sorted!"). I have booked in with Noel (Turbonoz) for next week and will be dropping the car up to Leicester on Saturday and leaving it with him. Will have to update my garage (lol what happened to the Rides section?) and…

Hi all, I have sold my NA and will be getting a tt once I have saved up a bit more money, just wanted to know what the difference was performance wise between the manual and auto. Cheers James

will a import speedometer work ok in a uk z?. mine doesn't work properly and would like a working speedo cluster again. cheers dave

Not sure what you call them... front corner splitters ? Usually mount 1 or 2 each side on the corner of the front bumper on a 45° downwards angle, only short ones maybe 30cm long?

Right I took my car round castle Combe at japfest, Last Friday I was sat at traffic lights and noticed smoke (blue) out of drivers side exhaust, Got home and left her running with no smoke after 5 minutes there was smoke again out of drivers exhaust, this kept happening while sat there 5 minutes nothing then 2 minutes of smoke, The next day I started her, there it was again this time more constant but not as thick, I topped up the oil and took her for a drive, for the first 10 minutes there was intermittant smoke then the rest of the journey (1/2 hour) there was nothing apart from a little puff from passenger sude( don't think my exhaust has a x or h pip…

I have no idea how the stock horn is wired in and while refitting my horn from the photos it shows the feed coming from here and the earth straight to the chassis nearby. The reason im questioning it is there was a relay with several wires coming out of it zip-tied to the live which I believe are junk now but I need to be sure.

Hiya Guys Been looking for over 30mins to find a wiring guide to fit a PTU 1 to a PTU 2....... I found it before.....but now gone? Any help!!

So, after a good outing to Japfest last weekend, and a good run, I come to use the Zed yesterday and...nothing. Absolutely nothing. In this I mean, the Zed won't start. The alarm pings correctly, and when I put the key in to start up, I am reading 12.4v and all the gauges/instrument panel come on (including the battery light and exclamation mark as usual), but that is it when I turn the key. No sound of starter motor, fuelling, engine. Nothing, then within a second the TT comes on to count down its 30 seconds. Then the alarm kicks in as usual. I did notice also that when I tried to alarm/disalarm the alarm, it beeped at me four times on the disalarm. So, I am think…

hi guys ok iv put a tt gearbox manual with n/a flywheel clutch do I need a n/a starter motor or a tt one as I try to start the car and it sounds awful iv pulled the starter off and the teeth on the flywheel look as if I will damage them if I keep going, the starter will freeze and whine cheers ted

hi all need help with my boost controller. it says warning on the display and the gauge is illuminated in red. it used to be blue. is that a separate warning or fualty wiring causing it to change color? i have no clue how it works or if its even working at all. jeff said it was an old unit and i would like to have it replaced. when the car is off thats what is it reads when i think its working, engine on at idle and when i think its not, engine on at idle jeff also said that because its an old unit the afc was used to bypass the ecu pre chipping days. so would i just need to get it remapped? chipped? and drop the afc. i foun…

Have i got the wrong one ?

Started putting the zed back together think it looks amazing even though the kit isn't painted yet, fell back in love with it all over again, The kit is only trial fitted at the mo, what do you guys think

Around 10:30 this morning, heading towards the A509 / Irchester, black with black multi spoke alloys, smoothed tail gate looks quite nice, i was around 8 cars behind you after i joined london road.

Saturday change over is always busy but today the phone has been red hot, which suggests many more zeds are getting Summer ready this year, lets hope the weather makes it a good year!! When we closed up we had a little trouble squeezing them all in but as always we managed it, however it seems a particular little red number sneaked in!!!

Would SMIC's with a total width of 410mm fit with the standard bumper ? ive removed the washer tank, the header tank and the CC ( im fitting smaller tanks after ive removed more of the excess crap in the engine bay) and the standard SMIC mounts. The coolers are 300mm high, 75mm thick and 410mm wide at the inlets ( well they will be after ive cut and welded them :offtopic:) just need to know if they would fit before i buy them :winkiss:

all ready for tomorrow for my local car show nice and clean ,,layer of polish ,just need the sun now

It needs some work, but if the body is sound, it could be a bargain project for someone..... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201305026563313/sort/default/usedcars/model/300_zx/make/nissan/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/postcode/hp160su/page/1/quicksearch/true/radius/1501?logcode=p And once it's MOTd and taxed, that reg plate could fetch a few quid back on the purchase too...?

Hi can anyone help me out i am trying to get a pic of my zed ever time i reply but i can not do it. its a long time ago since i did it before, so which one do i use Signature? Cheers Paul

hi all, ive got a VW Radio Navigation sitting in my room and my stereo is in desperate need of replacing. Id rather have this installed. does anyone know who and where I can get an unbiased advice from? It seems that the few audio stores that I've been to are more interested in selling me one. Or are adamant that it cant be done. Im sure it can be done. The last person said to me it wouldn't work because its coded to the vw computer. either way id like have that installed. is it possible?

Been doing a boost leak check today and had the car plugged in to some software or other. Anyway, the one I was using had an FCID test (basically turning it on and off). I understand I should be able to hear it clicking when doing this but I can't. So, before I go replacing/taking it out for a good clean, I want to know what affects that actually has on the car. I know it let's the revs drop when turning on the blowers, but is that it or could it have some affect on the running of the car in anyway? The reason I ask is that I can't find much wrong with the car and can't get the IAA to sit at 15, it constantly wants the move slightly when idling. Also the…
