anyone fitted a 'BYCAS' HICAS Removal Kit by Conceptua? zedworld found my rear hicas arms to be worn so its due back to have them replaced in aug, but i had always planned to lock out the hicas sooner or later anyway, just wondering if anyone has any experience with these? good or not? ill still get zedworld to fit the kit as the Zed's suspension is way over my head lol.

Hey peeps, How can I tell what injectors are fitted, where do I get bigger ones if I need them, and how do I fit them? Or have I got it wrong, it sounds like pinking when I turn the boost up to around 15psi and give it a boot full. Cheers:wacko:

Hi who has any experirnce with the above clutches? Is it good to drive around town with as well as driving hard? Also do you have loud problems with chatter? Cheers Dan

Ok my car has just flown through its mot, but, I having looked under the car myself I feel that the sills may have to be done next year. Whats the most cost effective way? Can patterned ones be purchased? or is it a case of just having a body shop manufacture them? Thanks, Dan

Ok, this has been playing on my mind for a while now, everytime I take my Z out I cant help myself but smile when it turns peoples heads and I always check it out in shop windows etc, sad I know! The Z32 imo has aged very well when compared to some other sports cars, however, I saw a guy on the way home from work polishing his "Mint" Ford Capri and I thought to myself that car looks really old fashioned. Now, is it just me being biased because i have a Z or do they too look really old fashioned now too? If not, do you they may soon date very quickly, I still think they look better than z33`s but again, am I biased? I just have this horrible feeling that…

just figuring out if and when I ever get to rebuild my car, where have people taken extra wiring though the bulkhead? I'm thinking through the heater matrix grommet for the new gauges and for the boost controller through the pass side wing. What have you guys done?

Wide body was registered as LBP 80Y ...just viewed it and for reference no boost, top end knock, rear inner sills rot, skirts cracked away from body and previously welded inner front wing it starts and runs but lumpy tick over and knock gets louder as it warms up

Hi there everyone, Need your help as I'm not too sure if the following will work. My zed has the blue interior plastics, in fact everything inside is blue at the moment LOL. I've got a leather trim set in light grey so it will look very similar to Apache's old SWB. My question is what colour to do the seats. Do I go down the same route as he did and colour-code the blue and grey leather or do you think black leather will work? In short the seats Baz has for sale. Cheers all, Rob

First off, I love my car again, iv fixed almost everything that made me hate it ;) anyway, the pump failed at the bdc under epic load :( It's a TT, manual, in an NA shell (ie no hicass or hicas pump etc) the TT engine was/is running an NA powersteering pump, it's dead. Iv got a TT powersteering pump, will it work? There are 3 pipes coming off it? Does one of them need blanking off or recirculating etc? Thanks

Any one know this zed? Some work on engine by ZedWorld last year ???

As above, are the SWB and LWB rear hatches significantly different or only slightly? cheers

Having a fueling issue at the moment. Fresh rebuild which has larger turbos, injectors etc and a running in chip programmed for the changes made. The car is over fueling. The car starts fine first time and runs with no issues, once the car starts to get warm the car stalls and we can't restart it. There is a strong smell of fuel which you can smell from the exhaust as well. Friend spoke to John Dixon and he suggested that the fuel lines could be on the wrong way round going to the pressure reg and the damper. Checked and both were fine. Anyone have any suggestions or is anyone local that may have a fault reader that could pop down for a couple of hours or that I could…

finally getting round to changing these, turns out the drivers side one has a little play in the ball joint on the wheel end of the arm as well as the rack end, but my local parts dealer can't get hold of them. I would of thought they would come with the arms but no joy. Haven't tried Nissan yet, but was just wondering if anyone knows of a place?

Hi Guys Thinking of putting some different shaped side repeaters on, what do ya'll think... Rich

Hey Guys, My ac has always been seized up ever since i bought it, what would be the rough cost of replacing the unit and is it a lot of work???

It looked stunning as I drove past with my silver bmw e36 m sports coupe, I had to come over and have a look it was in silver with 18's 5 spoke Anterea alloys with blue brake calipers, it was parked in front of the Bull pub on London road any one from here? I think there is only one or two in bedford that I've seen.

need all 4 have no idea where to get them please help. need a place that does all 4 please. for t25 (standard turbo fitment)

When out driving last week, i gave it a bit of abuse! Out in the country, i popped it sideways out of a side road. (Note, this was a priavte countryside, and you could see for miles with nobody around). Then BANG! It threw me the other way trying to get me in the bush on the other side of the road. I controlled it, then got out to inspect. A bit of tyre made a bid for freedom! Now on a space saver!

I wasn't a fan of the bumpers that were on my car. 99 front, which i know is popular and i do like it, but to me, when i think of a zed, i think of a standard one, ie 89 spec. That goes for the spoiler too. So the front bumper... The 89 bumper isn't properly fitted, but its a bit damaged, so i planned for it to be sorted with the respray i was getting! It was from Niko's car..
