Hello Folks, Im on the verge of getting my next Zed but the interia looks a bit worn, anyone got any idea how much a full referb would cost?? I.E both front seats and rear and possibly carpets?

As above, i've just baked my lights and de-tangoed them. Forgot i'd need coloured lamps!! A liknk would be much appreciated :thumbup1:

I finaly got a quote to get rid of my grey tweed, its just the dash doors, centre and rear quarters (no seats) in red leather, he thinks about £750 all in, thinks it'll take 3 days, but he can't fit me in till the back end of Febuary. Seen as though i have never had a car retrimed before i have no idea if this is a reasonable price. so if anyone has had it done would you mind sharing prices? Chears.

Hi Guys All wiring of new electrical components now complete. just got the main task of installing and wiring the following :- 7" lilliput motorised in dash touchscreen monitor 1.5Ghz carputer Amp (yet to buy) I have purchased a complete Autoleads wiring pack. My first task is to get a power feed from the battery to the rear of the car. Wondering is it ok to track the thick (35 mm2) cable under the car, laying it in the brake pipe plastic tray? or should i lay it in the car. I have purchased a complete car Dynamat pack. Do i apply this before or after cabling? I was looking at buying a good 5 channel amp like below http://www.caraudiocentre.…

I have some crappy cobra imobilizer / alarm fitted and its hit and miss if I can ever start the car. Right now it wont start. How do you disconnect it, bypass the whole thing.

I've got my plenum off at the moment, just wondering what would happen if I was to cut and cap the EGR pipes that go to the plenum? (and put blanks on the plenum of course) The slenoid isn't plugged in, never has been, I'm planning on having a go at removing the EGR when I drop the gearbox to replace the crank oil seal (car will be on a lift, thinking it might be possible)... What do ya reckon?

For a Z:D, I have driven about everything, but nothing floats my boat or does my bloody head in more than a Z, I am seriously getting that urge i can tell you, why why why do these cars do this to us.:confused: Have we a few less brain cells or do we realise what bloody good bang for the buck they are:cool3: Tony

Help.... :D My Insurance is due very soon. I know insurance is always talked about but... I need a slightly different and more specialised insurance which i don't know where to start. I am currently with Adrian Flux but they wont cover me on track. So i need the usual Insurance for on the road for my car but an insurance company that also covers on the track, i know there are several out there but not sure who they are, they also need to cover modifications to the car. It's a UK car so doesnt need to be an import specialist.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2407476.htm Any one looking for a zed take a look at this one :drool:from the pics and discription it is spot on very very nice, my sort of zed:thumbup1:

I didnt realise this engine was used designed for indy car racing and was considered the best na nissan engine of all time and many thought should have been offered as a optional extra like many other motor factors do as a range of engines as if fitted would have destroyed all the competion ?

Got home and got straight into the Z,cracks up fine,then steadies as she warms up and then WALLOP! the misfire starts:pinch: I intended just cutting off the PTU plugs etc ready for Daz' series 2,then I here it, tick,tick,tick..... So off went the lights got my eyes used to the dark and enjoyed the fireworks! No'3 coil is fubar,sparking out the side,so off to the local Z spares (cheers AL) And back with a couple of Coilpacks.Sorted,so I thought.Better but not there,wiggled the siliconed on injector plugs (yes you read right) and it's all over the shop!:thumbdown: pulled off three plugs and they are Green/fooked! Started up again and loads better!-but not right.....…

Am i right in thinking that there is only one plenum gasket under it in the middle and rubber re usable gaskets for the cam covers as i want to take it all apart and give it a fresh coat of paint. TIA Mark

Found a dead ringer for your zed!!!!:tt2:

With a bit of luck, my engine will be going back in next weekend. Whilst im doing this, i want the following. Spark plugs Oil filter (Might be easier to get these from car spares) I also need the turbo elbow gaskets, and The pivot ball for the gearbox. Im not 100% sure what this is, but my mate who is helping me, said i need one! Any advise is welcome. Cheers

Just wrapped my boot perspex infill strip ready for the car coming back from the body shop this weekend...:w00t:

Has anyone on here done this? Or can somebody point me in the direction of a "how to" please :helpsmilie: Given up trying to source new ones and need to take them off(to finish my respray), rejuvinate and replace. Thanks for any advice/links/help guys.

Haha, it was about 8pm in mid december, i was going down the a40 towards hanger lane from staples corner, just passing the wembley exits. I was in the middle lane having a relaxing drive doing a steady 50mph on the dot. There was a car in front so i was just staying behind him with plenty of distance. A chav corsa was right up my arse from kingsbury all the way up to wembley, literally only 3 or 4 inches away from my back and the road was empty. As i was watching them in my rear view, i also noticed a black bmw 5 series behind them although i didnt think anything of it at the time. So finally i had enough, i dropped to 2nd and blitzzed into the outside lane, overtook…
