A big thanks Ian for organising your first major meet. Its not as easy as everyone probably thinks, but we appreciate the effort and looking forward to all the pics, you still had time to take.:wink: Cheers Graham

I would just like to give a big congratulations to Jason Farrow for a 3rd year in a row win for Best Nissan and Best car in show:bow::bow: Has done the club and the Z32 proud. Im sure the pics will be put up later of just how fantastic it looks and the work gone into the car. Top work Jason and a pleasure as always having a chat.

I'm just back from JAE, great weekend! I know I set of at 2:30 but having driven to my mothers and sat there for a 2 and a half hours, then driven to my dads dropped the zed of and collected the van and driven to my house, I finally made it home around 9:30. I Filled up before leaving home on the Friday night, down to Kettering 200 miles or so, to northampton and back and then back to uttoxeter for my intended fuel stop (although I wasnt sure it was going to make it after some "fun" coming back from northampton to kettering this morning). Filled the old girl up and having done 316 miles on just over 51 litres... thats 28mpg!!! In a zed, blimey almost a diesel at that…

Black Zed today 11/09/2011, leaving M6 onto M56 around 6:00pm,PXI 4545 reg plate. Between 30 and 40 Zed's in and around Kettering Friday to Sunday 09/09/2011 to 11/09/2011..........:lol::lol::lol::lol: You know who you were!!

Anyone know how to a) Separate the master from the reservoir? b) Source the seals between the two? The workshop manual suggests the seals should be replaced every time the two are split. Doesn't tell you how though :( Hopefully the MOT man tomorrow won't notice the slight weep ;) Busy trying to make my Z the daily driver after its been in storage for 2 years. So hopefully lots going on over the next 6 months or so. Cheers

i do have a fuel leak from one of the injector`s o ring and luckily it`s one of them that u can remove without removing the plenum ... the question is should i change just one or do all of them ? ... knowing me if i`ll remove the plenum i`ll have to polish it or powder coat and then i`ll end up doing the whole engine :)

hi just noticed this today, ive got a 91 jap n/a and when i press the break pedal with the ignition off and the key out the rear break lights light up is this normal or have i got a fault ??? :wacko:

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to peach for lending me a wheel and another massive thanks to mike bean for giving me another as the rim on one of my wheels split open as i was driving to the show! was a good show and a brilliant turn out. nice to put some names to faces cant wait to jae 2012.

Cant thank Terry enough for doing the 200 mile round trip to come and tell my cars owner what a dick he is for putting the injector and coilpack plugs for cylinders 1-2 in the wrong sides, after 2 mins changing them over and setting the tps etc the car runs smooth as anything, I even took her down the garage and, through some air in the tires and give her a little spank and wow cant stop smiling!!! HUGE THANKS TO TERRY for making the trip cant thank you enough!!!! hopefully ill be able to repay the favour Cheers Craig

Coming back from jae n stopped at the services n saw my two rear tyres completely bold, AA can't tow me' back to Glasgow so if anyone is nearby who can lend me' two standard wheels will be a greAt help, oh forgot to say got court in the morning!!

After a couple of rad flushes, decided to attempt to flush the engine block via the top hose. Once the hose was off I noticed that the top part of the plastic connection to the radiator had broken off.:ohmy: Is there a quick fix or will I need a new rad?:sweatdrop:

For those you didn't see Chris's car after Groover spent so long replacing the rear lights.. Good job Graham :clap: Chris car looks amazing :thumbup:

hi new to the zeds and mine has alot of play in the steering wheel. when you pull it it has some forward travel and some play pulling it left and right. I have checked where it bolts on and all i can see is the two triangle blocks that attach the steering wheel to the console. is it spose to be like this? cant find a good picture or diagram of how its ment to be (even on the online manual) :huh:

ive had a oily grease on my wheels that I was unable to get off, tried wonder wheels, turtle wax, etc and nothing worked. Was about to ask you show cars how to clean them properly when I saw a bottle of Mr Muscle on the kitchen worktop.. Wheels are sparkling, the kitchens a f**@ing mess, but worth it..lol

Put so much time effort and money (like pretty much all of us) into my Zed and got it looking/driving sweet. Really wanted to show it off at JAE this year, otherwise what's the point?? Only us loonies 'get' why we do it after all!! Life has got in the way this year sadly so i'll just have to look forward to the pics and banter threads. To all of you that are there or will be heading there I hope you have a fantastic time and revel in meeting new and old friends alike. Talk zeds and mankinis 'til the sun comes up :rockon::rockon: Take as many pics as you like, us non attendees are counting on you :thumbup1: Daffy.

hi all just a quicky prob done something silly, i fitted a new tps (i have an auto and the gear change was sloppy) it fixed the gear change but now the car idles at about 1700-2k rpm i set the tps at .47v at closed throttle is this correct? cheers again for the help nick

Anyone want parts for tomorrow? only small bits unfortunatly as the have to fit in my zed boot along with my sandwiches!! Jeff TT

Hi all, Can anyone give me an idea in how hard it is to fit the clutch and gearbox with the engine already in place? I dont want to be removing the engine again as i heard this is the better way. Is it possible if i get the car high enough in the air? Thanks Dan
