All ideas will be considered.

My engine is only running off 5 cylinders. I have replaced the spark plug, that worked for a bit. Then replaced the Ignition control pack and the spark plug, that worked for a bit. Now there is no electricity going to the ignition coil pack. Lost after this Where does that line go to? How to fix the problem?

This pathetic video was taken at JAE 2012 after a very cold night, we all watched in awe as phutumsch aka Andy battled to dis-erect his pop up tent with the help of Gaz and a few other`s ,lol enjoy ;D

Hi all, The time has nearly come (finally) to unlock some more power on my zed. I want to up the boost post fitment of nismo 555's but I am unsure of what should/could be done in preparation. Quick overview/current spec: Jimmer build ('07) with forged internals, Z1 GT525 turbochargers, Greddy SMIC intercoolers, divorced downpipes, decat, mongoose quad exit, apexi intake, koyo rad, Andy P chip. This spec produced 365fwhp @ 9psi and Charlie at Surrey rolling road said that all the vitals were good. So the next step was to wind up the boost, however, the duty cycle @ 9psi was touching 90% according to datscan (accurate?). I now have some nismo 555 injectors bu…

I`m really contemplating selling my TT :( ....BUT!!!!! I want to plough all the money I get from it into my vert :) I have some big plans for the vert and I never use my TT any more, its been dry ever since I purchased her 12 years ago!!! she`s got some great goodies on her, including brand new BC Coilover suspension, 19" aviator wheels, Apexi AVCR boost controller, 99spec front and rear end :) and lots more, she`s a 1990 twin turbo manual and has been loved from day 1. The dilemma is do I sell or not? at the moment it sort of just gets in the way :( and I would love to get my vert into a high show standard and need to money to do that So whats she worth and wo…

After it been out the body shop a matter of weeks i managed to prang the front end on a steep ramp, feel so stupid. Unsure if its repairable or not what do you guys think? at least it gets another shot at a colour match though 3rd times a charm. And if it isn't repairable then it may be time for something new for the front. Every cloud eh.... Any suggestions or ideas welcome

Did anyone else see Phutumsch's mirrors? They fold in and everything :lol:

My car came with some tasty mods, but there is no paper work on engine internals, over the weekend I took groover out in the zed, now I've been running it with the boost controller off (9psi) but thought I'd try it with the boost controller set at the low setting on my boost controller, it went over 14 psi, I don't really want to kill my engine so I haven't even bothered trying it on the high setting as I just don't know what engine parts are in it. Anyway these are the mods my car defiantly has Gt525 turbos Jwt chip for 555 injectors 555 injectors Hks air filter Decat exhaust Z1 side mount intercoolers Z1 dump valves Z1 oil cooler Engine int…

been having a wee look through all the pics from JAE and they are defo getting me interested in the zed again, mine has sat at the bodyshop for months now after the crash due to lack of finances and motivation for the car. I wont be having it back on the road this year however hopefully a new job in January will provide some extra funds and in the meantime i can get all the little bits done on it once its back at mine. Defo look like a good weekend though guys

Thinking of getting a set of these, but a couple of q's. I'm assuming there very loud due to the fact the have hardly anything in the way of back box. Apart from the extra loudness, what is there main attraction to running over a standard setup?

Evening all, when I press the brake pedal there is a single knock which I can also feel through the pedal! Done a search but wasn't very helpful, anyone else had this? Cheers

I spotted my first ZX today (not including meets obviously!) at the Tarvin BP garage near Chester today at about 11am. I was midway through my order at the Subway inside else I'd have ran out for a chat lol. H reg gun metal. Very nice looking, much more impressive than the Aston Martin also fuelling up that most people were gawking at heehee. I was in the black 350z :) S.

just been out in her.. that car, sounds mint! and pulls like a train. i need uprated turbos and screamer pipes in my life.

my turbo to exhaust manifold is now missing 5/6 studs. YAY! havent got any drill bits man enough to go through the remaining lumps of stud either. why did they stop using brass bolts that didnt fuse with ****ing everything!?

Hi there everyone any tips how to fit the passager side rear seat belt? I have tried fitting it in but unable to pull the belt out long enough to get the last bolt at the bottom in. (3 point ones) Tryed pulling pushing the belt on the real will not come out any suggestions?

Going to paint my roof bars black on the zed, But the question is gloss or satin? Whats everyone else done, any pics of it done in either finish? Cheers in advance

Hi peps Been trying to download my Conzult on my windows 7 lap top with out fail! I have the v 2.4 but just cannot seem to get it going............When I uploaded the original disc onto my old lap top worked 1st time and added a desktop icon too, but nothing seems to work. Do I need to install original disc then the v 2.4 or just the v 2.4??? Heeeeeelp Dave

this might seem a ridiculous question, but i just went outside to jack my zed up for the first time.. but cant see any jack points on the sill/seem, and not sure i'd trust it anywhere along there... where do you guys jack up yours?

Im Looking to replace and uprate my flywheel and clutch whilst the engine is out. any suggestions of a UK source of decent parts? I have looked at the Z1 options which look interesting but the shipping and tax make this a pretty expensive (and potentially lengthy) option. any ideas? thanks! M
