Sorry i cant tell you exactly where on the a446 as im guessing its quite a long road lol, i just check my sat nav quick to find the road number, but it was pretty much the same place as the maroon one, on a dual carriageway bit further down from a shell petrol station. Was going the other way so you wouldnt have seen me. Dark grey, maybe a 2 seater as the rear window looked smaller then mine, had a spoiler but not one that sticks up a lot, the ones that are joined to the boot. And i only saw the rear half of the car.

As i have been looking through some of the post tonight and the last few days ,some of our fellow zedders are struggling with various issues on there zeds on the eve of JAE ,,SO I HAVE ASK THE SPIRIT IN THE SKY WHO BELIEVE IT OR NOT OWNS A ZED TO HELP YOU ALL OUT AND SEE YOU ALL IN THE MARQUEE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.:thumbup:

Evening chaps, Some of you may have seen a thread on here posted by the previous owner - after the engine turns off, a small leak was happening towards the rear of the engine. Now, the leak is getting worse. Driving home from Squires this evening (pics to follow seperately) the car seemed to be getting pretty hot and a hissing noise was coming from the passenger side of the engine. After getting home, there was more steam than normal as well. I'm taking it to Zedworld next Tuesday but I'm a bit worried that the car isnt going to make it! Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks Alex

As stated in my heading I am trying to find out what the speed pulse setting is of the 300zx as I have fitted an heads up unit which needs to kinow this setting ? so if any one as an idea please feel free to share with me. Thanks

well my blue one has the autobahn 888 FMIC on it and my black one has Z1 large side mount intercooler on it, im tempted to switch to the front mount, its larger capacity over all and the large front opening to my bumper seems empty with out anything in it, though could really do with some sort of mesh in there to stop stones hitting my z1 oil cooler. thoughts?

hi guys someone will hopefullly enlighten me remember looking at a tub that sat in the rear of the car that wraped round the spare wheel space so you could house the speakers in Anyone know what im talking about and where i can get one thanx

My requirements are Must have total closure Central locking ability have my own actuator for that already Silent alarm setting Immobiliser Passive alarm setting Cat 1 certified I used to have a clifford concept 650 which was the muts nuts, but the ones on eBay are just the basic models now, unless anyone has a breaker with a decent alarm on it they can get out the car in such a way as to be able to refit it With out going into detail of what alarm you have on your motors for security reasons, what would you recommend? I did get a toad ai606 out of my old black zed that I still have, but looking at all the wires I can't bloody remember how they…

im looking for feedback on the multitude of upper link,arms available on the market today. i have powertrix ones which look identical to the driftworks/z1 motorsport, i feel these ones are flawed in there design as the do.collar clamps down onto a very thin section of the adjuster and on my ones it has sheered off under the collar the other ones i have been looking at are the japspeed ones which are also on the z centre and were sold by 2 fast 2 cool. i prefer that design as the whole adjuster body is used to clamp on the thread. anybody heard anything bad about this type of design?? im desperate to try and get a better type of upper link arm as …

This has been happening for a while now but want to get it sorted. So, under normal driving te car is fine, but if you've just had your foot planted and then you put the clutch down the car's revs can drop off. The natural thought is the idle control valve, so that's been replaced and it still happens. Any other thoughts before I come to a corner and the revs drop and put me in the hedge cos the wheel went tight lol

Ok, I`m finally getting to the bottom with my starting issues!! The car wouldn't start at all tonight and it stinks of neat fuel from the exhausts I have found that the fuel pump is pumping even with no key in the ignition!! Its making its pumping sound and also there is a hissing sound in the engine bay by the fuel pressure regulator!! Is this normal? why is the fuel pump on all the time? any help is appreciated Thanks Daz

Quick question. what bulb is used in our zeds? i'm pretty sure its a h3 fitment but i've seen some kits on fleabay for the 300zx with a h1 fitment. Can anyone shed some light on this for me please.

Got some new wheels for my Zed. 17x7.5JJ and 17x8.5JJ What sizes tyres do I need to keep the overall circumference right?

As the title says :)

Illuminated door sills Vented front nose panel

Would these fit my Zed the chap says he has checked and they do but wanted a second opinion. Thanks. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280953287355?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Car was all ready for its 4 wheel alignment this morning then its MOT would be at 3:30 But its developed a really annoying screech and a smell of burning rubber and i've no idea what it is ! I've checked round the full car and although the camber is completely off aswell as the tracking none of the tyres are rubbing anywhere and i'm now at a loss what to do. I'm missed my slot for the 4 wheel alignment and i'll miss the MOT today as it likelt wont pass with bad alighment. So my trip to JAE this year might be at a loss too:angry:

Just felt like I need a rant. So I'm looking for a front wing from a black K reg Zed. http://www.japparts.com in teesside have a back bumper from the car. So naturally I called them to say, I need the wing from the car if possible. Anyway, they've said that they won't guarantee colours. So I can order a wing however I will just get whatever they take off whatever car they have. So even if they have the car in the right colour I might get a different one. So I asked if he could just confirm that they have the car, which again they won't confirm. I'm thinking FFS, surely you can walk outside and have a quick look. I even said I would come down, take the wing…

Mine's missing, do you guys recommend having one or is it considered unnecessary?

MOT time and its booked in for 3pm tomorrow. Done all the usual MOT checks but one thing (its always one) has presented itself as a wonder ! After the zed being off the road for nearly three months all was well untill about an hour ago where i notice the door illumination on the dash won't go out and when i checked that all doors are shut it stays firmly lit. Would that wee bulb cause my zed to fail its mot ? A few things i've done to test the door circuits is to close and alarm the car then manually open the door to see if the alarm will trigger which it does for the two doors but not for the boot so i check the boot circuit and when disconect…
