As above I need to relocate the filter as it catches on the steering rack in the 200sx it's going in BUT the housing that bolts to engine is also to low. Does anyone or has anyone moved the filter and used a different housing? I've seen kits on ebay but they just replace the filter with a plate to move it. Any suggestion appreciated as it is the last problem to overcome!!

well im still nor further as to what to do with mi zed, keep her or have 4 cars lol, decided to buy the bmw 645 convertible, as mi gilrfriend really likes it as her second car, as it would cost to much to run for her 65 miles a day work trip,so she uses her little pug 107 cant get rid of mi volv0 xc90 as need it to pull our caravan, and ideal for throwing kids in and dog so that leaves me with the zed and that isnt always practical, as well, but really like the bmw as it has full spec list m6 spec.... loads of extras , but in 2 minds what to do with mi zed......try keep her, sell her or break her and that's without the brand new race spec engine sat in engine s…

i know i've asked questions about chips and injectors before, the guys i work with hate the zed, manly because almost everyone that's come in have caused nothing but problems (mine included), i take nothing but stick for driving one, well in one of the "your cars a pile of cr@p" discussions, they have decided my zeds slower then a std R32 GTR, which i protested, to cut a long story short i think i've just agreed to race one and a few other cars they have decided are faster on a drag strip.... baring in mind my zed will have its new turbos by the time we actually organize this, how hard can i push my autobox? ill be sorting out the max safe boost l…

Got the car insured in the week and taxed today. Was great to finally drive it after looking at it on the drive for months. However, the petrol gauge is still not working so not sure how much petrol i've got left. I'm pretty sure its gotta be the sender unit. Has anyone had the same problem or got a sender unit for sale or know where i can get one?

I didn't actually see it Drift. but apparently it was Shit hot. Belong to anyone on here?

I decided I'd get some new number plates made up for my ZX....... ......and thought what a great opportunity it would be to subtly promote the club at the same time.....!! Richard:winkiss:

just saw this.... any good to anyone? (no nothing to do with me) http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3771699.htm

my next job is to replace the rear centre panel and rear lights to the 99 spec ones ,have looked on the z centre site ,,bit pricey anyone know of anywhere cheaper for new ones

anyone know where you get these seperately???.......have been told you have to buy complete arms.surely somewhere does them seperately cos they canbe removed from the arm.

Hi Gary, Finally received the Boss and was going to fit it today but it is the wrong one... Did yours look like this? Trying to decide if my car has been modified or if Luke has genuinely sent me the wrong one.

I done conversion on my car it was na but now is TT so I fit in TT steering rack and now I know that its got same plug (electronic valves which controls something SO... My steering wheels is heavy. what I can do about that? I allready installed some spacer in rack to get more lock so I dont want to change all rack How can I just fix o remove that electronic valve ?

Hi just realised the recent car I brought is a nissan motorsport car can anybody shed any light on the differances between this and others please

So what parts do I need to put an NA subframe and diff on my TT to complete this set up please plus what are the pros and cons with this set up on a TT ??

Whilst dealing with a faulty handbrake with next to no holding force I was not suprised to discover poor brake shoes, in fact one shoe had the entire shoe material missing but what was unexplicable was there was no matrial in the drum area, which means at some time someone either DIY or garage have replaced the drum Knowing there was shoe material comletely missing!! as the present owner has no interest in working on the mechanics of his zed means this occured during its previous ownership...just shocking!! Jeff TT

Has anyone had any experience of the Driftworks bushes, they are a fair bit cheaper than the powerflex and superflex equivalents and ideally looking for bushes that it isnt required to leave part of the old bush casings in when fitting them.

Mine have arrived today so I will be fitting them tomorrow no more hassles with speedo convertors,boing boiung noise at 65mph whoo hoo and all for £36 all in i am a very happy chappy

so i got my zed out today and noticed the psi on the oil was sitting just over 60 when cold which i think is normal,but when its up to temp and all is running well the needle is sitting just over the 0 and under the next line ,seems its a common fault and its to do with the oil sender or pressure switch anyone had this problem before

This topic has probably been done to death, but here it goes..... Following on from jeffs advice at zedworld on wednesday (new cambelt, waterpump and thermostat fitted.......thanks all at zedworld :) ) bought a set of standard platinum NGK plugs and changed them today.The irdium NGK's that came out were the ones listed for a zed, but look at the difference! Cant get over how much shorter the iridiums are!.The engine is now running so much better throughout the rev range, feels more powerful and its cured my lumpy idle, so thanks jeff........i will be giving iridium plugs a wide berth! :)

Absolutely gutted so hoe somebody knows better.. Bought a set of BC coilovers from Coolq in January. Apparently nearly new so paid £300 for them. Just been to have them adjusted and set properly as the wheels are catching and told that the bottom plates are ceased. They will need to be sent off, plates cut off and new ones put on.. probably costing me a couple of hundred quid.. gutted doesnt come in to it.. MOT due this week a well and car drives like a pup.... Anybody any thoughts on how I can sort them without costing a fortune? should have waited till the end of this year and bought a new set I know..

well a lot of people say it cant be done but managed to do it with with the engine bolted in and the gearbox attached in situ what a mare though any one wanting to do it give me a shout will point you in the right direction but dont expect an easy ride lol

Took the zed for mot today so it was my first go of an auto tt :) Thought it was under powered at first until i found the sport switch .. I couldnt believe the difference :) Question is .. What does the other functions do ? Sport , hold ??? And middle position !!
