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…

Thought id post a quick result of the mapping session with John Dixon Well, it didnt quite go to plan. Basically, the conzult data port on my zed has some of connection issue that ment that johns software couldnt get a consistant live stream of information, which basically meant it was nigh on impossible to map. We also found the the Deatschwerk 550cc injectors were doing some very odd things. For some reason on the mapping scales they give the scale values of 440cc injectors. All very odd and ive contacted CZP and Deatschwerk to find out whats going on (the injectors came with a flow chart which showed rates of between 545 and 549cc). The combination of th…

OK got a question for ya! Has anyone fitted a baby or child seat into their Z? Because for me to go to JAE I need to fit my wife and 12 month old boy in the car. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Without being a tiny Japaneses person how do you get the room the remove the headlight bulbs?

As above really, will be looking to purchase a set of rear lights for the zed in the near future. Obviously there are the 99 spec lights, but are there any aftermarket lights that dont look tacky?? cheers in advance

I've been intrested in getting my car dyno'd and also getting a custom map done. Recently found out from a day trip out to Ace Cafe (london) that there is a local 4WD dyno that do custom mapping. Without giving to much detail as i dont wanna step on any toes, iv spoken to the owners and i popped down while they were having a audi/jap dyno day last sunday and after a bit of conversation they did say that theyre happy to accomadate a dyno day and there special rates would be -10 cars booked would allow a power run at £30 each, i have to say, it sounded cheap so thought id enquire on here first and see If anyone thinks they would be intrested then let me kno…

It is very seldom my 300 is out in the rain but as I am going to be doing a lot of miles next weekend (JAE)and havent driven it in three weeks I wanted to make shure I have no issues so took it for a drive today and it drives like a super car should:biggrin: but comming home it started to rain and I have just put it in the garage wet! I have secure parking at the back of the house but thought it safer putting it in the garage but hate it being in there wet with no wind blowing it dry.So here is my first pictures of my 300 wet and dirty :biggrin:

Another great weekend at zedworld both for hospitality and service thanks again jeff for another job well done

How do i adjust the idle speed as it ticks over at 1500 is there a screw somewhere?thanks.

Does anyone know we're the white wire goes ?

Thought I had sorted my starting problems, but again this morning it took ages to start, once started its fine and ticks over nicely :) It was parked in my garage last night? so I`m still only assuming its something to do with cold start? any help would be appreciated , thanks

Just a big thanks to AndyP who got me out my bed this morning from the sound of the postman chapping my door to drop off two JAE tickets ! Many thanks.:clap:

Had a little local meet, caught up with vodkashots... and couldnt help but like this shot of Audrey!

So today I drove over 200 miles down to Wellington and I contacted Lee Dent just to go and meet some forum members etc. Lee offered to have a look over my car before I go to get it tuned by john dixon tomorrow. Lee was very hospitable and fed me and my orher half with a few drinks of coffee and We had a great time talking about cars. Lee helped me do a smoke test and we found 1 very small boost leak which got sorted very quickly, he also had a general look around the engine and car. Got the car in the air and took the plastics off to sort out my washer pumps (replaced with the ones mark sent me the other day). Also sorted me with some exhaust hangers. All …

Was it you .............. about 16:15 on the stone road towards stafford, i was flashing the lights in a black Audi

These two haven't seen much attention since I started to tinker with the 300, so gave them a bit of a spruce up today :) Enjoy :)

right i was looking for two things regarding this, advice on how to proceed with the rebuild, and a list of parts or consumables Il need to do the job gaskets etc etc. so after looking into rebuilds cost seem to run from around £200 to £350 each tub. rebuild kits are around £100 for a genuine garrett kit. plus £63 to balance so around £163 per tub id be perfectly happy to rebuild my tubs myself, as after doing a bit of reading them seem very similar internally to the water pumps i build at work on a regular basis, so i feel i could handle this. although for the saving of about £40 a side the stress and risk dont seem particularly worth it. that £40 is worth it f…

[ATTACH=CONFIG]65858[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]65857[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]65856[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]65859[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]65860[/ATTACH]Update.... Today i painted the roof black, not too bad, but will be even better once flatted and mopped.

Saw you yesterday on the a446, just pulled out a petrol station going up a hill, you stopped at a set of lights. I was the guy in the white van that pipped and gave you the thumbs up. Maroon, polished wheels, silver front lights, very clean, looked lovely. :thumbup:

Anyone know the part numbers or where else I could purchase the bulbs for the heater control pod? Mine has a few bulbs out [manual controls] basically the red/blue [hot/cold] symbols bond light up, p,us the fan speed numbers and direction of flow.

Can anyone recommend some sexy wheel nuts? Sad pehaps, but my new rims arrived yesterday and i need some nuts to compliment them (hold the jokes please lol) I found a cracking set and have just found them with the power of google. Volk Racing.... £300 :asshole: They nice, but not £300 nice.
