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?

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:

Hey Guys Wanted to know if any of you was from belfast? Found a good deal there but its a very long way away from london! Magherafelt, Belfast to be specific! Thanks!

We are all having to accomodate Nissan`s insane price rises but today even I was surprised to see the retail price of a 300zx oil filter is now £11:75! Seems like no time at all ago the retail price was around £5.00 so lucky we buy in large amounts and in advance, however the price rise will catch up with us soon I guess, thats the trouble with fixed menu pricing that we have always done, more pressure on our supplier to get the price down then:angry: Jeff TT

I never thought I would say this,:ohmy: but I am finally getting close to driving my 300zx tt again.:w00t: (It's only been 4 years!!:wacko:) As I only intend to drive her in the summer months, can anyone recommend a good insurance?:thumbup1:

I'm short on ideas. Ran the code....got a 55. Did it on 2 different ECUs. My car sits at 6 psi. I've ran pressure test. Nothing HISSING. Even tried to run my hand over the pipes to Feel the air...nothing. The only thing I could think of, is that I installed SSQV on the intercooler intake pipes.....and never blocked of the stock BOVs. But would that really be the issue?

what lenth & diameter pipe doni need to do this? I done it on my old zed but can't remember what I used? :gunsmilie:

Hicas arm/ rod replacements a common issue that will at some time effect all twin turbo`s with the hicas rear steering fitted. Once the wear has been correctly identified as the arms rather then the outer bush changing them is fairly straight forward but it helps to have the correct tools and parts at hand. (17 mm spanner, side cutters 2 x30 mm spanner, 1 pair of grips, split pins, hicas arms 2 x cable ties ball splitter) The outer rod end has a spilt pin that needs removing, then undo the 17 mm securing nut, a ball splitter helps with parting the rod end from the outer bush. The gaiters are held in place by wire clips, cut this with a…
