Hey Guys, Was wondering many people out there claim their z's engine was rebuild. However how would you be able to tell if an engine was rebuild or not, when your buying a z??

if i replace my fully adjustable dampers at rear, would the shock spring fit standard dampers or will it be to short,im not aware its been lowererd but has fully adjustable dampers all round with springs and im thinking the springs may be lowered with the package?

Now not sure whats going on here, but this is the only car I've had where people seem to butcher the electrics. My first zed seemed to have butchered front light electrics which caused a live feed problem to the head lights. so had to run a separate wire from one headlight live to the other to rectify the problem. The second zed i had, also had a issue with electrics where the wing mirrors had been snipped at the mirror end. third zed i owned has a problem where someone had wired in spot lights to the front bumper, with that much cable that by the time id removed it all and got the engine bay back to what it looked like, i could of rewired a 747 with what w…

Been working on these for a while now and finaly got them finish. Big thanks to Joely for testing them out for me. The units use 80 (40 per side) 10mm bright white LED's with an output of 290000 mcd. Pictures taken this afternoon and bearing in mind it was a nice sunny day im very pleased with the results. I'm looking forward to getting some nice night shots soon. Let me know what you think... Off Side Fog some more from a distance

Hi I'm thinking of changing the orange front wing indicator repeaters I've seen the 'smoked' version of the same type for 20 odd quid I've also seen these LED alternatives on ebay which are cheap and they claim will fit Nissan 300 ZX Silver 8-LED Tri Side Repeaters Upgrade And also some ones like that which are Oval And they are only about £9 Does anyone have any other suggestions I may look at that are a bit more 'flashy' than the stock ones, My previous Zed had chrome ones with four horizontal 'bars' and 'Twin Turbo' across the center with a small orange bulb embedded - looked rather like BMW M3 style - but I have no idea where they …

Hi, just trawling the forums and thought it might be best to ask this for when it comes to getting my side skirts and spoiler fitted. I know a good paint place for when I've had some work done to my BM previously, but the zed is going to take a little more work and been incredibly finicky over the slightest imperfection I would really appreciate some help here. Having the wide arch kit obviously the skirts are going to have to be cut slightly then smoothed in, then I'm assuming Midnight Purple Isn't going to be the best colour for matching so would anyone be able to recommend anyone good? If it could be close to home and in Rotherham that would be great but if not no big …

Well, i have to say i'm falling out of love at the moment... She's running a bit strangly at the moment, let me try and explain what's happening: First: The other day i was driving home, booted it a bit on a straight, then went back to normal driving. She started to shudder a bit and felt like she was misfiring, then cut out. I pulled over, started her up and she fired up first time so drove back home, every now and then she felt like the power was retarded, and i had to rev the engine a bit as it felt as if it would cut out again. I swapped out the oil and it was dirty black and replaced with fully synthetic 5w40. I started her up again today to see…

As some of you may know Steve had a tough time getting his car sorted previously but has stayed firm and seen it through a strip down and repaint, add a wide body kit and a soon to arrive set of monster wheels and some tasty mechanical bits ( nudge, nudge) this zed is going to look top dollar, all praise to Steve for seeing it through many would have given up long ago. Shame the camera would just not show the metalic and pearl flake in paint it comes alive when the sun hits it! Jeff TT The blend the bodyshop done on the kit is flawless

couple of weeks/months ago i was having some problems with my idle and with the car stuttering at low speeds. after a trip to zedworld Jeff sorted it right out stating that my throttle was misaligned so one bank was getting more fuel than the other. well couple of weeks later the same problem seems to have returned, the revs are all over the place at idle and it is starting to stutter occasionally again. so i decided to take some photo's, not sure if this is what they looked like after the trip to zedworld or if they've somehow adjusted themselves again. but how the hell do i know what they should be and how to adjust it. chears Steve

When I've finally finished and got it back on the road, my car seriously wants to be kick ass! Just to do simples stuff like replace the sills and the cam belt and thermostat etc. at a discount from Nissan prices as well, through MJP, over £800 squiddlies! Not to mention the £300 I already spent in the last 5 days on second hand parts, and the £550 I spent at the start of the month on second hand parts, all from buyers on here. GRRRRRRR, the car had SERIOUSLY better pass it's MOT in the next couple of weeks and be fecking kick ass! It'll look like a patchwork quilt, but it better not dare throw any more fits and problems my way, or it'll be on the scrap heap you go! …

Had the decats I bought off Big_Jim fitted yesterday and the mechanic said there were smaller pipes on the catted pipes he took off but none on the decats. I assume they're to vent the recirc' valves. Do I need to do anything with them or is it ok to let them vent to atmosphere?

anyone know this car Item #: 170646625988 Don't know how to put link up
