Done the auto diagnostic on the zed and its coming up as shift solenoid A shorted or disconnected.Anyone know where shft solenoid A is located?.any help appreciated, cheers :)

Hey guys just wondering if anybody can give advice on setting up the Z suspension wise. Ride height needs to ideally sit chassis rails 100mm or more from the ground. From there the alignment guys will let me do the tweaks myself, i have got adjustable front and rear traction arms, adjustable front and rear camber, and adjustable rear toe arms (n/a subframe, no hicas), also have rear subframe lock collars. the coilovers are body adjustable BC red's, body adjustable so i can change ride height seperate to the spring pre load. I've read a fair bit of suspension stuff regarding ride height and the effects of having your lower arm mount aligned with the lower ba…

Sometimes with the very best of intentions somethings just seem destined to go wrong. Case in point, a very smokey zed we saw a year ago returned with a very unhappy owner. With the help of a mechanic mate he had removed the engine and removed and replaced the turbo`s with newly refurbished items. During the change over the oil lines were replaced as was the oil and filter, the turbo`s were pre-oiled and the oil lines filled as per the turbo companies instructions, also when all refitted the engine was turned over with the fuel pump fuse removed to prevent starting, this done until oil came out of the turbo oil returns. So all good and now running, howeve…

Hi guys, As per the title, it's an imported engine so no chance of finding out through the DVLA. Cheers

How come we dont have any proper monster zeds on here. Ive been on the fiat coupe forum for a few days now and omg every year they just keep getting more and more power out of it, and they seem to be really easy to mod. When i had mine 280hp was the norm and i was running about 350hp which was alot, now it seems to be alot are running around the 450hp and this is the norm and a lot of them doing track days and on stock internals :ohmy: This is a wicked result. its Barbz car and he tuned my coop and he just keeps getting more and more power. Also look how smooth the power is. there are one or 2 now over the 600hp mark. Looking at todays fig…

Is this no good?

I was driving to pick my misses up from her work today and the car decided to miss and losed all power,got it home and the wires from number 2 injector had snapped ,it is amazing how much power it lost just with one injector down,Its all fixed now with help from my trusty soldering iron:punk:

After a slightly nervy drive down in my poorly zed, Jeff quickly spotted the problem (loose pipe) so while it was there I had some niggles sorted. The heater no longer clicks annoyingly :clap: So after a cup of coffee from Lynda to recover from the horror of having to use public transport the drive back home was much more pleasant. great service, ta!!

Silver zed in Blethley MK,near Perries,i was in my van i flashed you.

Hello Everyone... haven't been around for a while. :laugh: Anyways, been ultra busy sorting out a lot of new things, so I just thought I pop a post to say hello. As usual, if anyone have any questions, please feel free to PM me and ask at anytime. And while I am here, I can post up our post 2011 racing report. We have been rather active in competition this year helping a few team out, and I am happy to say they all have achieved great result. We have been also working hard developing new application (Especially European Cars such as BMW M3, VW Golf, etc) Anyways, nice to be back... and hope to see you all at a meet …

I can't seem to 'cut and paste' the link across from Driftworks??? but if you search: 'Have you got money want a classic Jap turbo then look at this' This is a really interesting motor, to me it looks like a cross between a Z31 and a Z32 but apparently it's a: Nissan 200ZR (runs an RB20DET)

The heaters in the car just arent getting very hot. Does this mean the heater matrix have gone?

hi guys i have a 91 Z32 manual and she wont idl ? the auto choke doesent sound like its working ? i was leaking air from a few boost pipes but ive sorted the problem now and it idles worse now then wen it had the air leak ?:crying: does any one live close to stourport or worcestershire that could come and give me a few pointers ? thanx

took out a prop from a auto tt lwb today, we have a manual tt swb prop that came with the conversion, now from what i have been reading the rear section is the bit that is different in size but when we put them next to each other the rear prop sections are the same length??? obviously the front half is different size but the original auto one is shorter.... will it fit?

THIS HAS NOW BEEN WON BY SIR CHARLES!!!Please Remember i am limiting this to TWO guess per person! Prize winner will get a set of "Nissan Fairlady Z" and "TWIN TURBO", stickers to go on the spoiler and a couple of wing mirror decals. Will be posted out on friday when guess is correct "if you get it by then!" I am currently driving a 1995 Toyota Celica 2.0 Auto 170bhp(when New!!) I fitted a apexi timer which i got for my 300, just to see how fast the 0-60mph was!, please bare in mind this car is totally standard!, no airfilters, exhaust and still got standard 16" wheels on! it has a nice little feature that records my 0-60 time!, so …

does any 1 have a picture of a manual box showing what each plugs job is ? i figure one is the speed sensor the one near the gear stick is the reverse switch but what is the other plug ?

They're from the 350Z (Some special edition). Anyone fitted them to their Z32? Or has anyone got any for sale?

Looking to completely isolate the rear lights (tail lights, brake lights and number plate if not all). The plan is to flick a switch in the front while driving that will just cut all of them out. I'm thinking they must all just have a main ground wire terminated onto the bodywork somewhere, if I cut that the lights should go out. I can't find anything like that for the life of me! Anyone out there tried doing similar and can point me in the right direction or anyone know these cars back to front, inside out and upside down that can help? I'm an electrician so no replies talking to me like a 4 year old. answers on a postcard to theusual address.

All i can say is a very very good service and good Help on Email with replys 2 unorthadox Pullys EGR Delete Kit Pilot Needle Bearing NKG (7) Plugs x6 and he only charged me $18 for 6>10day Postal Prices seem to be cheaper then some other sites too :thumbup: http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/list.php?Car_Type=300&UID=2012011813265180.1.103.33

Have done a search but cant find much....... A couple of times since the weekend my 'power' light has flashed 16 times when I turn the ignition on and the box appears to be pulling off in second gear, as it seems to require more revs than normal to get the old girl going.Has anyone else had this problem and know a possible cause?. I am changing the box for a manual shortly, but dont really want any problems between now and then.any help or advice appreciated :)

When choosing a clutch you need to ensure your covering the performance requirements, your driving style and cost of course, however cost can sometime get in the way of making clear decisions, information, research and recommendations are the way forward. We all like a bargain but you need to be careful that any clutch you buy is matched so that all of the components work together as one unit. Below are the results of a mismatched clutch, removed today in the workshop from a zed with little in the way of drive when under power but amazingly what appeared to be complete drive at lower speeds. The 4 puck clutch plate has very hard ceramic splinter pads that a…

As the title says really..... Occasionally when I decide to give it a boot full on a motorway for example I can be doing 70, foot all the the way down. It'll kick down and usually go through that gear and without any warning part way through the next gear it just cuts all power. Bit as if I've all of a sudden plonked it in to neutral. No noises or smoke or anything.... It's a 91 tt auto import. Running 14 psi with usual stage 1 mods. Any ideas? Like I say, there's no hesitation apart from occasionally on full throttle. Cheers Joel
