My girlfriend has just completed a charity walk around lancashire and took a picture of this zed whilst walking passed it, anyone know whos it is?

I have searched but cant find, when checking coils and spark plugs at rear of engine, i think numbers 5 & 6, do you have to replace the balance tube first.

now which pipes are back there that need checking as with the engine on, i get a water leak from in the middle at the back, but its not the heater matrix hoses?? do the turbos have a water feed?? may be a stupid question but i had to ask...

Do these cars have them? I bottled it at a hairs breadth above the bottom of the last marker on the fuel gage and filled up. The fuel light wasn't on at that point, just wondering if they have one and what it looks like? It's a 1991 UK manual TT 2+2 if that makes any difference. Thanks

help please i need the electrical schematic which shows the wiring in detail to my ORIGINAL dashboard cluster . my nissan is a 93 series 2 ( i think) tt automatic with the cruise , abs , Hicas etc etc lights originally bulit into the instrument clocks not seperate on the binnacle as more commonly seen. i am now going to retrofit an earlier binnacle to go with the modified cluster in order to maintain the ancilliary lights . can anyone point me in the right direction please thanks Neil

Absolutly crapping it, cars been sat for a year engines running nice although I think I have a small water leak?? hope this isnt an instant failure, checked everything I could this morning just prey she passes or is at least gentle on the faults.

Ive got indiglow dials and my fuel guage is very intermitant, 99% it doesnt work but every now and then it will? Anyone got any ideas??? sticky needle or dodgy sender or something?? where should i check Cheers

... said with the pure innocence that only a young person can posses: "Oi brokeback... you wanna come for a walk to the toilet?" I shit you not, having spat my beer all down my shirt, I very nearly pissed myself there and then! What was your favourite quote of the weekend?

was looking through facebook earlier and found this zed would love to do something like this. most will probably hate it lol

With this being only my second week of zed ownership I was wondering about cambelt changes.ive come over to zeds from a v6 calibra (3.0 omega engine) and with those you have to change the tensioner and rollers at the same time as the belt.is it the same for zed engines?.i changed the cambelt kit on the calibra myself, is it any harder to do on a zed?, obviously the parts that have to be removed are different but I suppose the principle is the same.are any special tools needed to lock the cams etc Any advice is appreciated, cheers :)

Hi everyone, What is the correct gap for the TT plugs, my Z is boosting 13psi max.

hi all, in the middle of the timing belt change. (done changes before on the old 200sx) was reading the manual for the timing belt change and came to the section about Removing the SparkPlugs. do i need to do this? (cant see a reason to remove them) Why do you have to move the crank 10Degs when installing the auto tension tension, seen on page EM19. is it to bed in tensioner? was just going to line it all up and rotate the crank just to make sure nothing hits inside last question, honest.. what page is the timing setup on (strobe light etc) cant find it cheers :clown:

I've just fitted my HKS din panel, which fits nicely above the CD player but now I have to find somewhere to mount my electric gizzmo's gizzmo's include the following: - Greddy boost controller - Greddy turbo timer and - Tein EDFC controller I don't want to hide them away in the glove box as I wouldn't have ease of access to be able to adjust boost and damping. Where have you guys mounted yours??? any suggestions???

hi folks, have got a Greddy turbo timer to fit and there is a wire that goes to the speed sensor wire on the ecu.does anyone know which pin this is and the colour of the wire.thanks in advance :)

Just parked my 19 year old red zed at a certain fast food outlet at the weekend and walked in the door to overhear a little lad tell his dad "that man just got out of the fastest, bestest, most fabulous car on the planet!" Nothing like a little exaggeration to make you smile!

Grrr!! This is doing my nut in now, for every one thing I reinstall I have to remove two others to give myself space to work! I wouldn't mind so much but the first time I pulled the engine I had no real probs at all! I'm now at a bit of an impasse, engine and box are in, just come to reinstall the steering UJ/knuckle and find the 5 bolt downpipes I bought with the Z1 turbo kit are right in the way, the pipes need to be about 5mm toward the passenger side or vice versa for the steering connector shaft. I've read that some folks have made some mods to allow 3" downpipes to be fitted, how is this done?? Mine are only 2.5" Z1 items. Short of hitting it with a l…

Hi, just a quickie, whats a MAF sensor, where does it go, how much second hand? thx

where the best place to get these ? bought my last one from zcentre but the price is a bit excessive now !

I bought some mesh to cover the bottom section of my 89 front bumper. Want to stop all the leaves and crap getting sucked into the rads. Anyway the stuff I got is a 15mm x 8 mm diamond pattern, now that it's arrived I'm worried that it might be a little small and end up causing a problem at speed. Is the mesh to small or am I worring about nothing?

Right having spoken to a lot of you at JAE and heard the obvious concerns in relation to what other clubs had to offer, plus going around and seeing other club stands. I think for next year ill be concentrating on getting a bit of entertainment going on. I have a projector so thats not a problem, and also we have sound. but what i was thinking along the lines off was something a bit special. My friend who i DJ with runs his own DJing business and gets hired out for all sorts of events. and if we can get the correct generator that doesnt induce spikes into the system id like to see about hiring him out on the saturday night. (though if i paid for his ticket…

well, normally we have a list of who won what, or have i missed it

Thought it might be interesting to collate some of the information from the ConZults we done at JAE it shows some particular similar issues and an increase over last year with thermostats failing in the open position, some of the missing info was due in part to not having pens and paper that work well in the rain!
