why would my p/s belt be bursting under accelaration this is the 3rd in 2 weeks..the pump is fine and lining up correctly

As above, I've got a set of Works Meisters on the Zed that are desperately in need of a refurb. Can anyone suggest/recommend someone that'll be able to take a look at Most companies won't go near 3pc, but refurbing them is going to be far far cheaper than replacing them. Cheers

ere is the recent tech day I organised this month. We ended up with around 8 - 10 Zs for the day and everyone enjoyed getting together after a long break between events. http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1206004#post1206004 The plan for the day was to take the plenum off, to check for an oil leak I had developed at the back of the engine and also check one of the heater hard pipes in the same area for coolant leaks. I know Bryan (my mechanic) probably hated me for asking this but I made an extra request for a EGR removal while the plenum was off and to my surprise, Bryan accepted the challenge without hesitation. Upon removal of the plenum we discov…

Black zed in a club stand with DAZ on the number plate, had dual slot custom nose

just trying to find some 99 spec indicators for my new bumper thanks jaikai :thumbup: does anyone know where i can buy some? i was going to get them from z center but they only accept credit cards which seems really dodgy to me, so looking for somewhere else to get them from.

Quick question............ Does the engine have to be running whilst adjustment takes place? Thanks in advance.

So i have removed the front shocks from my tt that had really bad tyre wear which I thought to be camber from sagging front springs, Now that I have them out is there a way to check for this? What should the springs measure or should I get new springs to be sure Also how do I bench test the dampers? There is resistance as they go up and down, but once pushed right down the don't come back up again? Is this ok or do i also need to change the dampers?

Hi peeps, finally after a year off the road my rebuild is coming to an end. This list is the stuff I have spend out on the new engine to be swapped for my old overheating lump. Could someone with real knowledge please give me an overall spec for this list and give advice on a decent tuning company to get the most bhp without leaning out on stock internals. Thanks. A few pics of the original buy, plus all the new stuff done at the end of the list. Hope you enjoy as much as I have putting money into this beast. =0] --- New Replacement Engine/Turbos 25,000 miles only: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Idlers, cam belt, wat…

Any Idea how much a set of Tein Type NA coilovers go for?

reg m**myt. i came out of whitby road and was behind you at the lights where we both turned right. i turned left at wickes and you carried on, i was in an 18 ton lorry. Your car looked stunning mate

Link to live stream, just testing so it might go off ! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jaikai-s-live-at-jae-2011

got me Brembo's think originally off R33, but once i started to clean them up came across some problems so thought ask all the questions before i go any further. 1. As you can see from the pics the dust seals are cracked/split so where can i get a seal kit to service them and is there a how to so i can do it myself? 2. The front brake disc's look pretty shot and i think i read the minimum thickness for changing them is 28mm both are around 24.46mm! so i need a pair of fronts which i think are 324x30x54? the rears are around 20.73mm dont know what they should be! They bolted straight off a Z without any adaptors so pretty straight forward to put back on, i a…

Just arrived at JAE and made our mark already !

i know its late but anyone want these as im not coming now, my zed aint ready and coming to JAE without it is just gonna depress me more, £50 can post tonight still till 6pm let me know asap

is there much or any difference

Hi All, What do you think of this price £470? About 4 1/2 hrs labour and the belt kit is £214? Really don't fancy doing it myself but that seems expensive??

Got the new exhaust made... New bumper in the office after having fog ducts tiger sealed in and a quick coat of wax late last night!! Just need to get the old one off and this one on!!! Got to dash!! See you later!!

Well, Set off at 6am this morning heading to JAE from Troon in Scotland. Just stopped in at Blackpool to pick up a mate and get some grub then loading the zed up again with his gear to continue our trip !

Coming up to the A444/A5 junction for the 300th time today the guy in front started to pull out with his wheel past the line, i looked right and kept going, he'd stopped and went straight into him :headvswal He's not taking it any further but i've now go to sort out my old silver NA. Split the lower bumper, pulled the wing away from the side and bent the light bracket slightly. Overall, it's fixable and hasn't damaged the metal part of the car but the wings are bonded in so means taking the side skirts off to rebuild the wing and probably near on £400-500 to repair and respray and by that point it's a case of is it worth respraying the whole car. Ah we…

Well Firstly HUGE thanks to Jeff, Jamie and Lynda Very strange problem developed..... Misfire at about 3.5k - 4k revs on full boost Wouldn't misfire if you didnt use full boost but just accelerated steadily through the rev range. The only saving grace was that the fault was hard whenever you used full boost Well, New Plugs, Change of Coil packs, Different ECU swap, swap MAFs, Boost leak test to 45psi, play around with O2 sensors all having no effect and nothing showing on Conzult when the zedworld laptop was taken for a fast trip on Jamies lap with Jeff driving it was becoming a head scratcher But true to their word they found it..... and it was a wel…

I had a quick look under the bonnet 2day and noticed that one of the pipes from heater matrix was disconnected but no water geting out of that pipe..... how is that possible ? car runs ok with no overheating problems and there`s enough water in the radiator
