HI , I have a Pioneer carrazzeria meh9000 which is a mini disc/cd changer/radio fm/am, I have seen frequency extenders that up it from the lower range japanese to the higher european frequencies, has anyone tried these and do they work cos at the moment I only have 4 stations, it is a bit retro I know around 10 years old but it's a nice radio and younger than my zed and £500 when new I have mini discs as well to use in it, I already have a parrot handsfree so I don't need a new type with bluetooth, OH what to do?????

Off to Zedworld this coming Tuesday (23rd). If anyone is going to be in the area, come say hi! Alex

Ok so I'm looking to order my big end and main bottom end bearings but abit confused.com as which to order, Now on Z1 they say you need to specify which grade you need, and this will be stamped on each rod and the on the crankshaft, But what happens as I want to order some ACL race bearings and they don't ask which grade you need just wether you want normal size or over sized bearings? Also Z1 says the 2 middle main bearings have same part number but need to be placed in the correct place is it easily noticeable which one needs to go where or do they both look the same? Paul

Before we even pulled the engine yesterday due to the oil / water mix in the radiator, the smoke from the exhaust and the general fit of engine we knew there was troubl e ahead, but add to the mix that this was once rebuilt by Ztech ( now a defunct outfit ) and was one of their famed "Forged variety" the reveal was well no surprise, Standard pistons, rings rods, bearings, and nice standard head gaskets, trouble is the car had been set up on the understanding it was strong biggger injectors, bigger turbo`s and boosted etc. but the build was poor, the amount of excess silicon sealant was a joke, the mixed up bolts and missing brackets etc. was plain lazy, but to ch…

i have a nissan 300zx tt and when i start it, it hesitates on idle and sum timz goes off and when i drive it i feel no power and a mis fire but when the car warms up it idles fine but still mis fires an wont rev up proply i can hear the gas but its like somethin is stopping the power any ideas thanks

Just wondering how long a std 300zx tt engine would last, what kind of mileage you can get out of them, what mileage has urs dun, and it's it still running like a gem????

I just got my zed back from the garage after they have supossedly fixed it. i get half way home, turn the lights on only to find that the high beams won't turn off, none of the side lights and none of the rear lights work except the brakes. i tried going back to the garage to find out what they have done only to have them tell me they haven't done anything that would affect the lights except maybe when they pulled out the rear fog switch and accidently pulled the wires off. so i tried to drive home again before it was too dark, got about a mile from home and steam started pouring out from under the bonnet :censored: managed to pull over, had a look and it looks li…

Thank you AndyP for sending me 3 x chips for me to try :cool3: On trying them all today I am now struggling with the chip that was known working at the start of the day :mad2: Is this wire not helping? It was frayed badly and any exposed wire as now fallen off, does it need ring spading up and connecting properly under the casing cover screw bolt?

Hello all! So I have dropped my Zed off for the annual service / MOT and am ordering new tires all round. Since i have just insured my lovely partner on the machine (for those nights when I need to be ferried home drunk) I want to fit good performance tyres on so she doesn't kill us both. In particular, rain performance would be high on my list as the councils around where she lives seem to enjoy leaving lots of standing water around. If I could do that without banrupting myself it would be spiffing. So - any suggestions lads?

is there any literature or article here that covers repair to fiber glass Bumpers? thinking of going the re-spray route than vinyl wrapping. though not sure of resin and primer application procedure..

I'm absolutely certain this has been asked before but I cant find the thread... In my Zed I've got the rear Bose speakers. What size are the speakers inside the Bose pods as I am looking at replacing the speakers at the same time as I do the fronts over the winter? Cheers Alex

My Zed has been vandalised for the second time now after owning it for just 2 months :( First time they slashed both of my rear tyres. Today I have found it with both front tyres slashed, left wing mirror broken and with a nice mix of white paint, eggs tomatoes and flour over it. No idea who would do this. So my question is what should I do now? I really cant afford to keep sorting it out and by this rate it will be up in flames by Christmas. Some points... I dont have a view of the street I park in from my flat. There are other streets to park in but they are usually full and I end up parking in this one. There is a privat…

Just seen this on wheeler dealers looks to be fantastic stuff. http://www.evanscoolants.co.uk/power-cool-180-for-performance-cars.html Does anyone use it? What do you all think? If it does what it says it would solve a lot of issues that zeds suffer from..

If it proves that my turbos are knackered, what are my options? Should I get the standard ones refurbished or do I buy some new units from ebay, probably Chinese. They are meant to be upgrades for the 200SX, but are under £200 each.:confused1:

Can anybody tell me the best place to buy pcv valves and how much?

What aftermarket seats have you guys fitted in your zeds I'd like to change mine and keep the weight down I weighed my drivers electric seat at 5.3 stone (33kg) so would like to change them Pics up please

Crank off setting .... does any of you's know anything about it ... was speaking to some tech guy and he was saying i could regrind/offset the big ends on the crank by about .50thou ( max bearing size ) this in turn would be like stroking the engine now i know this would drop the Piston TDC by about 1>2mm and decrease the com .. and to over come the comp drop the block can be skimmed/decked to bring back the comp or even raise it a little. does this sound a sound right and any one done such thing ? thanks again Mark
