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

Ok ive got a TT brake master cylinder that has two unions for the brakes however my NA one has 4 unions as there is no ABS i presume so is it possible to fit the TT master cylinder? Also is there any difference in the servos between a TT and NA? Marty

hello people. tomorrow i am going to try tinting my rear lights and centre panel. what i was wondering is what you guys thought about which bits to tint, I.E do i do the whole lot, or leave the oval reflectors, or something else all together?

Today at lunch time, spotted by the misses!! Was it you?

I know you have all seen this set up but I just thought you might like to see them in day time as well as night time guys, I have been told that this set up should cost about £500 with all parts and fitting so I hope my lotto numbers come up today :) Day time view below Night time view below

Bloody clutch gone in me van :headvswal:headvswal:headvswal

Our local car club is having a rolling road day at Corten Miller Performance Centre - http://www.corten-miller.co.uk/ Is anyone interested in bringing their Z (or anything else) down for the day? Its on the 9th of April, we need a minimum of 12 cars for the day, £36 and of course you get a printout so you can either gloat to your friends or go sulk in the corner. :lol: Your vehicle will be subjected to three back to back power runs measuring power at the wheels and flywheel, torque at the wheels and flywheel, AFR (Air Fuel Ratio) RPM and Boost (if turbo or supercharged). Graphs can be displayed with: Flywheel BHP Flywheel Torque Roadwheel B…

Hey Guys, Anyone seen this 300zx on pistonhead? Any thoughts or advice? http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2363416.htm Only reason i am asking is the owner states its 52000 miles but a quick Hpi check and its showing 112000 miles last registered in 2004. Thanks

had to take a double take thought it was mine for a second not seen it before

Saw this little beauty by Victoria Park in Bristol, was like looking into a mirror aside from the boot spoiler, and mine is always brown from the muddy country lanes! Very nice :)

Yes I know I`ve gone a bit over the top, but I hated the fan as it was and wanted to match my engine bay, hope you like!!! Not fitted yet as it need`s another coat of laquer, but will be attached on Sunday and then I`m on the road again, whooooooooo

Hi there all, As the title says really, Jonce (Jonno) came round and we set about the drowned Zed. Ripped a lot of the interior out including the dash and everything behind the rear seats. It pleased me that I have made the right decision to scrap the car, we couldn't believe the amount of water still in the car even behind the dash and instrument binnacle!!!!!!! Took a lot of bits out the engine bay inc. plenum, rocker covers and various pipes and brackets etc. The intention is for a lot of parts to go in the new car I am buying. Really got the bug back today and cant wait to remove the rest of the parts like the brakes, wheels, radiator and exhaust. …
