Anyone's Zed in Kream Developments (Rainham)? Just saw it today ...

the last couple of times ive been out, the speedo has dropped to zero for about 10 minutes then come back. this latest time, the hicas warning light also came on. Not the best when you're trundling up the motorway! hicas light went out when i turned the ignition on and off. So! are these related? anything to worry about? coupled to the fact my central locking and parking sensors are duff and i keep getting dripped on, my niggle list is growing :sad:

Changed my brake discs today and dispite finding I had bought the wrong pads, I saw the pass side front tyre was badly worn on the inside edge. I have been waiting for an excuse to get some Eagles on the front but obviously the tracking needs setting to. The car is lowered on Teins and has 18inch wheels. Can anyone tell me the optimum settings to tell my garage? Toe in, out, camber, caster? I have a fully adjustable set up. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Ive got a leak on my drivers targa, nothing strange there you say. Ive followed Jeffs write up in the FAQ section and it still leaks. Ive taken a couple of pics to show where the water is getting in, could the targa seal be goosed? Cheers, Rob Not the best pic, the targa is to the top of the pic.

As soon as the products show in stock I will be ordering from twinchip. If anyone else is planning on doing the same and fancy combining postage, let me know :)

Also love how he has mounted the number plate, very original considering the rear lights he has on it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-MANUAL-LOW-MILEAGE-/160821978560?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2571bca5c0

What size do I need? Just been in halfrauds and and a 10mm fit but was £15. Then when I was looking at some of the sockets the 10 was too small

Hi there all, Can someone post a pic of where the arch liner meets the front bumper please? Refitted mine after having the bumper off and blatantly not put it back together properly LOL. Cheers, Rob

Just got the car towed back to mine (glad its a manual now lol), was driving along, big pop out of the rear of the exhaust as the electrics died, had absolutely no power at the side of the road so couldn't even stick me hazards on. Anyway get it home, playing with the positive battery terminal, seems someone who owned the car had extended the wire at some point and this seems to of worked its self loose, most likely when i was doing the gearbox, joining it back up correctly gives me lights to the dash but the car wont crank now. there is no noise at the starter motor, no clicking or anything. ive checked all fuses in the engine bay and they are all ok any one g…

what is it and where shall i put it?

As title looked fairly standard apart from the tape around the passenger window!

Well, what can i say, apart from stalling it once LOL (new that was coming), pulling over into sainsbury's car park to watch the oil burn off the gearbox and what ever else i managed to get caked in gearbox oil and set the timing as i didnt do the neutral switch bypass. Once that was all sorted, and still stinking a bit from the gearbox oil being burnt off. i thought id give her a try in a nice large empty carpark, holy poop, haven't felt that kinda power since my cherry red zed, the gears are nice and clunky and the box sounds like its been stolen from a british touring car for some reason lol, ooh and i get a nice little burble when lifting of the gas. temps are a…

Just a few additions , can you spot them :D ' alt=''>

Just a quick one to say i have now a new steering wheel LOL. No more cruise control, all gone!! and got horn sorted after a bit of searching LOL:yes:

Nobody was hurt:oops: :rofl::rofl:

Hi, I know people have fitted the r33/r34 rear calipers before but.....Have you ever fitted the V spec 2 which are 322mm in dia compaired to 300mm. Thanks Dan

Just wondered if anyone had built, or knows of a kit car around a 300zx engine, running gear etc? I have a spare NA auto and rather than spend money on body work I wondered if it could be a donor for a kit as the engine and gear box are mint with only around 56000 kilometers on the clock. Pic,s or leads welcome :biggrin:

Does anybody fancy a double din stereo surround? Yeah? Me too lol I think you can still get em from Z32 Zone.. http://www.z32-zone.com/main.html Has anybody ordered from them before? I dont have a clue how to go about ordering something in Japan. I reckon they will work out at £200 odd. I wonder if they could do a group buy? Another option is this......... http://zthirtytwo.com/ These are LHD, other than the clock being on the left, is their any other difference? I could live with the clock on the left :) Not the greatest website in the world though

I've finally got the Z to run right with no air leaks. The oil leak is also cured but the water leak is still a pain in the backside. Its a drip coming from the centre of the back of the engine somewhere and i can't see where though are there any common places for a Z to spring a leak from? Like i said its not pouring out just dripping

Have noticed since the new format that the pm system is not 100% reliable with both inbox and outbox pms going missing prime example is kassa steve and others are under the impression that we are not replying to their messages , but we are not receiving all of them, can a mod please look in to this with some urgency . In the meantime i would suggest emails are more reliable Jeffatzedworld.co.uk jefftt

My Z passed its mot today but the tester advised it may not get through next year, I already know it needs two sills on it, what else is likely to be gone underneath, I know its impossible to say but from maybe your past experiences - does a rotten 300zx underneath usually mean a £500 repair bill or is it likely to be more terminal? Only reason I am asking is I cannot get it on a set of ramps until next week and I can see some sleepless nights coming my way :( :( :(

Hi guys I am changing the PCV valves on my zed after a conversation with Jeff at Zedworld, has anyone ever done them before? If so do you have any how to guides and is it easy?

Quick question did JDM front bumpers ever come with headlight wash kit? I know some imports can have a UK front bumper fitted but this is a JDM front bumper with wash kit. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2629977.htm

Can I run Data Scan software from my Zed to my I Pad? If so, How would I go about loading it? and also, what cables would I need? (that's if it possible of cause) The laptop I am currently trying to use is hopeless. Thanks in advance.
