Hi, I am new in here but my mate told me that this is best zx club. So i decide you may will help me. Well changed my injectors and than I was changing chip i left my ecu opened and some how smokes came out from ecu. So now i am looking for a problem. I took new ECU, new ptu, new relays and fuses and its still the same. Than we connected conzult program and it's showing error code 21. So what could it be? I know its some ignition circuit error. Another thing, spark plugs give only very small sparks and i thing injectors dont give any fuel to the cylinders. It's could be some burn wire fault or what? Please help me dont know what to do and how can help…

Hi guys, I've got a 15" JL Audio sub in a box from a previous car, I want to use this in the Zed as theresnothing wrong with it and I'm skint after buying my first house LOL. I'm going to lose the rear seats and the face of it will be firing forward but is it going to be just too big in general? What's your thoughts on this???????? Cheers, Rob

My front washer jets constantly clog up with crap. Have recently noticed though that the rear washer always works fine. Not sure on the setup of these but I assume they are fed from the same washer bottle so confused as to why the fronts clog yet the rear is fine? Cheers.

i noticed the zed very slightly smoking on tick over (blue smoke) but only did it when on a incline it's ok when on the flat and under normal driving it has done it before after running on boost and parking up quite soon after i will get smoke at tickover but it clears as soon as i driver a little further, did the pcv valves about 850 miles ago could it be some residue left in the pipes causing the problem? or something more sinister?

hi guys done loads of egr removals on other cars but how difficult on an na because all the info relates to tt help would be good thanks

Hi guys, just wondering if the two red zeds i see today, have seen both on several occasions, were any of you? One is a G plate with standard wheels (painted gold) usually on plough road, Great Bentley The other is a H reg with full bodykit etc on Old School Lane, Elmstead. Doesn't look like its moved in a while though.

Gonna order a set of master bushings from the USA on eBay, there is a set on there that about £10 cheaper than the rest but I'm not sure if the rear sub frame bushes are not proper bushes? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=400254486432

whilst cleaning my garage out, ive found i have 3 spare throttle position sensors and 3 ptu's. Is there any way of testing them of the car with a voltmeter, or any write up how to's on how to do it, ive look in the FAQ, and also on twinturbo.net, but cant find anything. Anyone???

Over the last couple of months i have had an ordeal trying to buy parts from a member on here. As i am currently away when i am told that parts have been sent and i check home to find nothing has arrived it worries me. This is a combination of bad salesmanship, bad communication via PM and just bad manners. It all started out on the 20th March and the chronological list of events is below as i feel it should serve as a heads up to others to be aware even long standing members can be poor at selling parts. 20th March parts listed and i snap up on the parts the same day pending pics and confirmation of which rear traction arms they are (I would not buy without pics …

Anyone know where I can get throttle body hard pipes for a 300zx NA think groover on here has them on his motor

Took advantage of the 3 for two at halfords and bought myself some goodies. The clay bar kit took some time but it feels so smooth, definitely worth it. quite proud of the effort i put in, don't normally wash it myself. Got a little camera happy though, i've uploaded them into my albums section but there was too many for one album so ended up with 3. Here's a few though for those that are too lazy to look. Pictures really don't do the job justice though, may have to invest in a better camera at some point. Exhaust really needs a good going over, I think a nice polishing bit for my drill and a flapper…

anyone know where to get my suspension sorted out please.got a problem with the camber.had 4 wheel alignment and was told that something is probably bent as they could not set the camber.so if anyone knows of a garage in the merseyside area preferably. thanks trev.

Sometime back i purchased a one piece prop from from former member craigtt off ebay,anyway i went too fit it today and its 11cm shorter(119cm from top to toe) than the prop that came off my lwb manual was wondering if it was off a shortie perhaps Jimer

i recently got myself a 1996 300zx na auto and having few problems which i think are related.the steering can suddenly get heavey for no reason and the speedo can either stop or goes bit silly and the trip meter dosnt work.the car is standard apart from a apexi rsm meter which gives the cars speed and rpm.the reading this gives is about half the actual speed reading.i looked at a tread jeff done (thanks jeff) in the faq section about speed sensors and mine looks fine,any other ideas?thanks

Recently fitted a Mongoose cat back system, Not driven her much since, but the trips I have done have given me the impression that there has been a good performance improvement. Sounds great as well! Or am I just imagining things?
