I had an advisory last mot for drivers side upper link arm which is fully adjustable would i have to replace both sides as i dont want to go back to standard ones or have to fit new both sides?

The door lock on the drivers side has a small plastic quadrant on the end of the key barrel that can break and leave the key and central locking inoperative, locking the drivers door and using the passenger door to get in and out is a royal pain but is the only way unless you fit an alarm with the central locking option. So why not just buy the offending part and replace it, well in Nissan's wisdom they decided that they would only sell the part connected to a brand new key and barrel so a small piece of plastic becomes a £60 wallet hit. But there is an option which with a little work is free and will get you drivers door lock and central locking fully working a…

Problem being my steering... at times it under responds. for example the steering wheel turns more than the driving wheels do. secondly,the steering goes from normal weight, to very light quite often. and thirdly. at times the steering wheel will turn either more to the left or more to the right at higher speeds, so much so that the steering wheel is almost 1/4 turned when going straight. but this gradually reduces as the speed does. what the hell is wrong with it??

Hi, I have two problems if any one could give me some advice would be brill. First one, is the oil pressure gauge has been working fine, but now is slow and on idle only goes up to about 40psi will go up when revved but only half way up, dont want to **** the engine by driving it:-( engine sounds fine and no noise when revved ect any way of checking the gauge might have give up but Iam quite new to zeds lol. Second one, is some times the revs will go up to just under 2k and when this happens you get a little white smoke out the back not loads, the revs will come back down its like something is sticking open. any help would be great. cheers mark

I had to jump start my 1993 n/a zed from its winter hibernation today. I last started the car 2 months ago and everything was fine. The zed is always kept in a garage, but today when it fired up it just didn't sound right. The car seemed to lurch sideways as it started and I could hear popping sounds from the exhaust. I let it warm up and drove it round town for about 10 minutes. It went ok but something wasn't running right. There wasn't any hesitation as such it just didn't sound or feel normal. I stopped the engine and restarted it a couple of times to see if the problem cleared itself but it was still there. I have had the car for 3 years and it's been fine and has …

I'm still deciding but kindly thanks to Sausagefingaz for his photshop ability.. I'm thinking black as the leather seats I have are black so red and black interior, black exterior and red/black/chrome engine bay?

Hello Z lovin buddies ! I have no clue how many on here still remmember me from back in the day - but i was the original founder of this site and community back in 98. how times have a changed... Anyway awesome to see the community is still thriving and these awesome cars are still being loved and looked after. I'm selling my Z back in the UK as i have moved to Canada - i need to shift it pretty quick, so its listed on ebay currently - i'd really love it to goto a member of the community tho so it would have a good home - I musta sunk 20K + into this vehicle over the years, and harldy drove it - i did most of the work on it myself and bought only the best…

Anyone know this zed? Only got a quick glimpse of the back of it parked up in a driveway as I went past in the van - anyones on here. As above was a red ah3 ish colour (it was dark lol), J plate, 99 spec rear lights. Looked pretty tidy from the back - will drive past again when I'm out that way for another look.

Having reluctantly taken my Zed out in really poor weather recently the car was filthy and the exhausts looked like this So cleaned them and polished with Autosol, and ended up with this Looking pretty good, but wondering if anyone can suggest a product to get rid of some minor swirling?

Anyone know of anywhere West Sussex area breaking 300s? Im after a stupid egg shaped bit of plastic on the rear of the drivers door lock, its broken so Im unable to unlock from drivers side and I have to keep unlocking pass door and leaning over. Thanks Dave

I am thinking of having my black zed resprayed, but I wanted to take off all panels to get at any rust that may be hiding. Is this a daunting job for an amature zed lover?

Hey all, anyone know the ordering in which to bleeding brakes including the abs pump? Also, is there 2 pumps or just the one in the boot? Cheers

Hey, I've recently broken my drivers seat up and down function.....might have asked it to lift too much weight. Pressing the rear knob left (to go up) results in horrible clicking, the seat tries to climb, but whatever gears lift it have broken. It will lift if I'm not sitting on it, with only the occasional gear clicking noise. Anyone know if this is repairable? I don't think the base of the seat is flat right now, maybe tilted slightly and perhaps giving me back pain! Or I'm just getting old. :wheelchair:
