Got my Zed off the genius that is Jimmer last night. The thing now flys, don't mis-fire or smoke. She purrs like a kitten. He did the jobs I asked him too and did a load of other bits to get the car right. Everyone should take the car to him, you won't be disappointed. Awesome Zed specialist and a top bloke, cheers again mate. And got to see MadMax's car, jesus that thing is awesome, even better in the flesh.

does anyone know the part no for spigot/crank bush? as i need one for this weekend auto to manual con!!!!

Thought it was about time to give the old girl a service, so got new fuel filter, oil filter, oil change and a new set of platinum plugs. gave my mate £80 and turns out he got some change, so with it he thought he'd treat me to a fuel treatment. after fitting everything started pouring the treatment in the tank, halfway through realised they'd sent him an engine flush, so unfortunately i got 200ml in the tank, to make up for it the parts supplier sent him 2 fuel treatments (even though they still charged him for the engine flush). Haven't driven her yet, but my mate said the new plugs have made all the difference. gunna take for a blast now and see how she feels. …

I drive loads of cars every day, but just wondered if my Zed had 1000bhp how much quicker would it be able to acheive against standard. My BMW X5 has 320bhp, my Merc SLK has 165bhp and my Insignia 172bhp. The little Merc is the fastest of the line, but tops at 140ish, the BMW next and tops at 150ish and the Insignia slowest at everything at 135ish. I no weight and size make a difference but my son has a 375bhp astra that doesnt seem much faster than a standard one, so is it worth all that BHP????

Zed is up for mot soon and checking underneath today and one of my steering rack gators is split so quick question do UK and import zeds have the same gators?

May Z seems to be rather harsh and and the suspension seems quite hard. I noticed a little turn pot on top of the strut and was wondering if this adjusted the damping rate? currently its set to 1, is this correct?

My Z32 will not pass 2500 rpm, and on very low fuel it can cut out around corners. The funny thing is that my car cut out on the same bend on different days 3 times. I have changed the fuel filter but had no luck. Do you think it may be the air flow meter? Regards Dil

Hi All, My brakes are very spongy atm, having had it up on ramps i cant see any issues with discs or pads, also car has braided hoses. Im planning on bleeding the brakes on sat. but cant find a how to anywhere depsite searching. There are also conflicting views on which order to do it in. If you can help can you please advise the following; 1, How much brake fluid does the reseviour hold.? 2, Does it need a specific brake fluid or will any do? 3, In what order is it best to bleed them? 4, Perhaps a link to a how to for replacing the master cylinder???? (Just incase) Thanks James

Just a thought, but if you've got the full Driftworks adjustable steering and suspension package is this possible: When you fit 9" wheels up front with an offset of (ET +45) you will normally require a spacer to make the wheel sit flush with the arch (this will affect the feel and handling), however, is it possible to adjust all of the upper and lower steering and suspension components to effectively negate the use of the spacer (ie. literally 'push' the wheel further out) in order for the wheel to sit flush with the arch? I believe the Driftworks kit offers 20mm-25mm of adjustment.

tried refitting this convertor forn the speedo,so i was trailing the how to bit and i noticed that there is another way to do it.With a different diode,now where would i look for the one that needs to be removed on the back of the clocks and does anyone have the one i need to replace it with if where would i get one from, I have the speedo with 180km on the dial and my car is a 91 many thanks:innocent:

Since coming out of the body shop I have noticed both of my doors are slightly lower than they should be (only at the handle end - the hinge end sits at the right height) What exactly do I need to adjust? Thanks, Dan

Unless I've read this completely wrong, apparently the best way to increase the value of your old zed is to cut the fooker' in half and sell it on ebay for twice the price! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300zx-Twin-Turbo-Front-Clip-VG30DETT-Motor-BLITZ-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-FRONT-/260927461572?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc07d18c4

Is this a turbo timer? found it while installing the clutch pedal. As far as I was aware it did not have a turbo timer and definitely didn't work. What is the grey wire? take it that's why it doesn't work. There is no other wire anywhere nearby that that grey wire could have been connected to. Any ideas? It is taped onto that grey box and has some sort of cable that goes between the grey box and original wiring. Paul

Hi all, With a number of high powered Zeds on the forum im wondering if you can give me some sort of idea in what im going to expect trying to get the car off the line quickly say at a 0.60 sprint or pulling out a junction quickly. Also how they handle when laying down the power though the gears? Im wanting to replace the hatch with a Carbon one hopefully! Im just thinking what extra problems it could give me being so much lighter at the rear as the hatch is so heavy and is practicly the whole rear of the car. Im guessing cornering will be an issue too. I think ive bought every uprated mod possible to gain the extra traction but not sure once taking the wei…
