I thought i would mention i have seen a clean blue zed tt auto import for 1400 quid in stoke on trent its got cloth interior and look std. If anyone need info let me now i will try find out cus its not on the net i dont think!

Currently have the BC racing on mine, not sure if anyone else has/had these, i find them a bit too hard for uk roads, they tend to skip across the road surface too much over bumps, even on the softer settings. now what do you have and how are they on the roads, or what brand/company can you point me towards as id like a smooth ride.

Just a few pics from today with the sun out, my bonnet is back on with the underside all freshly painted in black with chrome fleck to match the engine bay theme, it looks as if it has bits all over it but its the fleck reflecting in the sun, looks nice in the flesh (honest), I`m still waiting for my chrome rad cover to turn up and some fancy bolts and washers and then shes done!! had a massive drive today, done about 100 miles with the lid off , my head was a bit cold but i couldnt wait any longer, hope you like :cool3:

Hi, Just bought a zed and need 1 day car insurance to get it home, but having no look when I google it put details in then wont in sure it any suggestions of company. cheers Mark

As above, under dash at the top right near the A pillar.Feels like wires going into it from the loom (can't see it) any idea's? Had a quick shufty at Boldy's and don't seem to be on his?:hammer:

A quick how to fit new chrome door handles. Tools. Phillips screwdriver with magnetic head. small electrician flat blade screwdriver. This is for both sides, each have same screws / clips in locations, apart from drivers window switches. 1. wind fully open windows, to expose, remove black cover on outside with flat blade to find screw behind, and remove 2. remove interior panel to locate two screws, also held in with clip. 3. Onto the door card. it is secured, by a number of screws and clips along the bottom. 2 x screws on hinge end, 1 x screw beside the lock (opposite end of panel) clips along bottom and one clip just below interior panel…

as above, is the electric fan seen here just for the air con, or does it cool the engine too? as my air con dosent work i was going to do away with it eventually. but do i need to put the electric fan back in now? cheers :-)

I have just bought my girlfriend her first car. S reg nissan micra. You would be suprised how many bits of a micra we can salvage for our zeds, one in particular i have seen many threads on people needing are. 1. Number plate bulb holders and covers are identical, but different part numbers, Nissan charge a few quid for zed ones, and are getting rarer to find. 2. The interior light door switch rubber covers, situated near the door locks, are identical. 3. The door lock catches, again identical. 3. In the engine bay of a micra, there are a few electrical connections, both the male and female side are same as zed connections., If you are f…

mornin all, i know this has been covered before, but what im looking at dosent seem to look like any of the guide pictures, there's a bar across the front at the top of the cooler which dosent seem to be in any pics ive seen, so how on earth do i get the the original valves?? cheers guys

Finaly tried to put my na back together yesterday after the plenum being off it for over three months now and a bits n bobs have went a miss! I'm sure I've just misplaced a box of bolts but either way I need the following shortly and wondered if anyones got some spares to donate! All bolts that hold down the plenum. All bolts that hold down the coil packs. 4 bolts that screw upwards and hold in the egr pipes on the plenum! That's it Basically I've lost all the bolts from the plenum ! Any donation from breakers are welcome or gives a price Inc postage for whatever you can supply! Cheers Lee

wasnt someone after one of these not long ago? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300zx-Fairlady-Original-Jap-CD-Tape-Units-VGC-/180631333601?pt=UK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_In_Car_Audio_Players_PP&hash=item2a0e776ae1

Only saw it for a second so not even sure if it was a swb or lwb but it was black and heading from telford to wolverhampton around half 3 today

Well i went over to Andys again today and guess what.... Not only were the dulcet tones of Shane Ward wafting out of his open window when i arrived, but it was gently peeing down. We had the pleasure of Daffy turning up with his mate Dave who did me a great deal and took my wings west bumper off in a van to be painted. Anyway that said we muddled on in our silly water proofs..... and i am very pleased to say that following a few head scratching moments I now finally have a manual zed!! I cannot say how happy i am, it has been a long road due to random piss up, late starts, far too much rain, snow and not enough light... BUT we bloody did it. I can…

Whats the difference with jap and uk insurance?

After a discussion about polished plenums, i though i would post up my progress so far Plenum nearly finished, got the last polish to do, which i will complete once its ready to go back together. Some before and after pics: More

Hi, Is there any performance difference between the Uk TT and the jap import TT? Cheers Mark

about 20 mins ago, and gave it a nice load of stick leaving the estate.

Is there a definitive 'how to' or guide anywhere that details how to go about this? For those that have done it would you advise i give it a go or not to even go there? As i'm not mechanically minded at all i'm looking for things to do on the car for me to have a go at.

I got a set of these and looking to wire them up. Want them on when the doors are open so i have looked at wiring into the door switch however when the door opens the wire on this switch turns negative so i need a positive supply from somewhere. Who has these and where did you wire them into? Marty

checked flash codes today and it came back with code 21 (Ignition signal circuit), would this explain my revs hunting and an intermitant stutter? where the hell do i start to try and sort this? It is booked in at zedworld on wednesday for a conzult and a general lookover.

I bought ZXTT front bumper , i knew it needed a few repairs so i,ve been doing that at work , in my own time of course :whistling:, got the first lot of primer on it and brought it home to sort out the fitment , as with all fibreglass bumper it would need a bit of fettling . It fitted quite well on the O/S but the N/S needed a bit of attention . I sanded any material back that was stopping it sitting neatly , But the gap still wasn,t how i wanted it so i used a trick i,ve used in the past , prep the edge of the bumper to accept filler , mask the wing with packing tape now bolt the bumper in place , now you can fill right over onto the wing the get the l…

The suspension that I currently have on my zed isn't great. They're Tokicho and they're blue (they're not coilovers), and I think the fronts are shagged as they feel a bit... "wafty" at speed. Slightly contradictory, the whole setup feels too stiff which doesn't inspire confidence on a typical bumpy b-road. Anyway, I'm just wondering what standard suspension is like? I've never been in a Zed with standard units (actually I've never been in a Zed other than my own!). Is it totally useless, hence why everyone seems to have replaced it, or is it perfectly competent for everyday use, and blasting down a country road (I don't do trackdays)? I'd love a set of Meisters…

Ive just bought these lights. They are pretty bad but i intend on either tinting them to a gloss black finish or taking the orange out and using them on my existing pair (i like the tango) Can these cracks be repaired or if i painted them would it make it more pronounced or would it hide it a bit? Thanks Mark

Can you remove a NA engine without removing the autobox? Ive been trying today and the engine pulls forward but hits the steering rack on the sump and i just cant seem to get it past. Tried jacking up the autobox to give me some angle but nothing :( its only about 10mm off and if i lift the engine too much the gearbox just holds onto it. Anyone done this before as i cant be bothered removing exhausts and prop. Marty
