Hello, There is any easy way to change lower front Ball-Joint or i need to remove everything there? :confused1: Thx

Some times because of financial reasons or just been keen undertaking work on your zed yourself can be very rewarding or sometimes can be less than, been able to know you limitations of either knowledge, skill or tools available can be a difficult but a crucial one. So case in point, this zed presented with a very smokey drivers side exhaust, in fact quickly filling the workshop so something was well wrong, the owner had recently ( 2 weeks previous ) removed the engine with the help of a couple of mates and fitted a pair of new turbo`s following the complete failure of the drivers side turbo.....erm yes same side again! Having spanked the best part of £1k on the tu…

Busy this morning getting the 300 ready for MOT next week :hammer: its now ready can you see what was done? :detective:

Which type of tools do you guys use for the following and is there a specific one you need for the zeds Which cylinder valve removal tool? Which valve stem removal tool? Going to start stripping my heads down soon :hammer:

Has anyone put a resistor inline with a after market water gauge sensor? The ecu water temp showing 79 degrees but the aftermarket gauge showing 88 degrees? Anyone help?

Hi all, can anyone tell me if a J-spec oil cooler can be replaced with a 19 row UK spec oil cooler? & is it a simple fitment / direct replacement? Cheerz James

my fresh built motor is running just great...pulls strong and boosts well but i have a strange one. When the car is sat on idle at 750 rpm and i select drive or reverse the revs seem to stumble for a nano second on the point of stalling then pick up to normal once in gear...the tps is set right,timing set to 15 degree and conzult showing no faults. Now the question i need answerd is ive changed ecu,s for a chipped one but it does not state on the label if its a manwell or auto:confused1: would a manwell ecu give me this problem in my auto?? i know you can use an auto in a manwell and not the other way around but why is this and what is the implications if my ecu is not g…

Hi , i have a 93 auto, and need to pick a feed up from the gearstick area to trigger my reverse cam, can somebody clever please tell me exactly which wire i should tap into , and exactly where it is , maybe even with a piccy ??? thanks all Sayers

Just my luck been in london working for the last month came home for a long weekend to take my tt convertible into body shop the car is stripped every panel is removed for a full respray ,sods law the sun has been out and probably the only sun we will see and i cannot use my Z typical ..

Saw you in the car washers i was it the audi tt was going to park up and speak but no where to park .

Yesterday i let my brother drive my zed for the first time to take it to his garage to swap it for his Cortina. Only to find out that while he was sat at the junction 5 mins away from his garage a :censored: corsa has slammed into the back end and wrote my car off :censored::censored: the only plus side is the corsa was in a much worse way then the zed

As you all probably know, my zed has suffered from a few issues in the past that I have either fixed or learn to live with. Yesterday, I was driving home from work nice and gently. Stopped to buy my lottery tickets, then carried on with my journey. That's when it started, a knocking noise coming from the engine :( I thought I would take it to be looked at today, hoping it wasn't to serious. I have now been told that it was the little ends making all that racket and that I was either going to have to fork out for a rather expensive fix or a new engine. Not what I needed tho hear! Obviously I'm not mechanically minded, so question is..... Is the garage right? …

MOT is coming soon and I recon I might need to do the rear brakes. What disks and pads are best to get? It's a GTR 33 setup I have

Hey guys this is an old vid i come accross on you tube mainly zeds in there wondered if any of are in this..

Any tips on fitting a manual box, been jacking it up and down and just can't get the shaft into the back of the engine. Most frustrating, have tried to keep it level but things aren't lining up, used a clutch tool so know that's lined up ok.:bored:

seen a 300 zed looked like a lwb in kawasaki green black roof and bonnet. in the tidworth area are you that owner?

Just found this nice little vid on the ZX..for those who havent seen it enjoy:cool3:

Trying to save some cash when doing certain jobs on cars can work but some times its a false economy. Case in point yes a 350z I know but at least its a z so moving on, having had a new clutch fitted 2 months previous by one of the High street clutch specialists the owner thought her big spends were over for a while, however when changing the clutch the garage had recomended she had a new slave cylinder fitted, the cost been around £120 extra, the owner concidered it an extra cost they would rather not pay for so the box was fitted and all seemed well. Of course the clutch pedal failed in under 500 miles and was subsequently recovered from the M6 slip road at junct…

Nice black 300 passed me on the A46 towards Stratford. Took us ages to get level with you as you turned off for the M40 I think. Very nice looking Zed with what looked like a 99 rear spoiler.

I left my ZX at the local garage this morning for an MOT and oil and filter change..... ......And collected it about an hour ago with a lovely new MOT; happily burbling away on a sump full of Castrol's nice clean finest!! Richard:thumbup:

Hi, drove through accident at junction whaddon/bassingbourn barracks in herts/cambs A1198. Silver ZX300 with rear end damage, if it was you, hope you are ok. Car looked badly damaged, sorry. Rich

Recent smoke issues that my car has had, have come, gone and reappeared differently. Im now starting to gear myself into the reality that I will have to rebuild the block, due to the smoke. I believe that the whisp of blue on overrun is one of my oil rings on the way out. Being realistic I cannot afford to do an engine rebuild, ive thrown the best part of a months wages at it over the last six months, and with trying to get a deposit together it would beirresponsible and selfish to keep throwing money at this car. The problem is very slight the car still pulls like a train and recently got good compression, and has rebuilt tubs. I dont know if it will pass an emmission te…
