Ok, so I was under my dashboard today, drivers side and discovered a couple of bare wires, one was red (and maybe white too) but small. The other was yellow and quite a thick one, also bare (this one is my main concern!). I also found a plug and socket, these don't look like they'll fit together, but the wire on the plug isn't long enough to reach. I know its a long shot, but if anyone knows if these should be connected (and to what) please let me know! :) Cheers!

I was just pondering what is still available from NIssan. I dont mean consummables and similar small bits and pieces like service items. Just looking at some posts on here a new shell seems to be quite often sought after......can you get a NEW one ? Mark

:helpsmilie:Hope someone can shed some light on this please.:sad: Just recently,when i start my 300 tt from cold i get a high tick over, around 2,100 rpm. When i attempt to pull away the engine nearly dies accompanied with this rapid clicking. (3 ticks per second approx'):confused1: It appears to be coming from straight in front of me but it is difficult to pinpoint exactly due to the high volume. After a minute or so it seems to be OK. Would someone point me in the right direction please.

After all the supply issues i had with the wrong supply of my Rangie Wing Mirror (which I'm still waiting for the right one to arrive!) and the bulbs finally arriving one by one I discover my shiney new plasma oil pressure gauge has been supplied with the illumination wire missing out the back!!!! And, as I didn't notice this until I had pre installed it into it's gauge panel, (which scratched the case all to blazes as the fit was so tight) I will have to coiugh up for another in full!!!! Arrggghhhh gutted!

hey guys, happy new year! over the xmas period,i left my z stand for like 2 weeks,starting engine occasionly, when ice had cleared i got her out again and noticed the handbrake light doesnt go off anymore? any ideas?

Hi, Just favour please, I`ve won some coilovers on e-bay, I did originally ask the seller if i could use a courier to collect and he said its fine, now after several e-mails hes not getting back to me fast enough, (seems to wait 2/3 days to reply?) and I`m worried that if i do get a courier then he wont be there to hand them over! So is anyone willing to collect them for me and I will get the parcel picked up from your house/work, I think this way i have a better chance of actually getting them! of course i will pay any fuel/time costs to yourself thanks in advance Daz.

Just got myself an engine crane on ebay. A friend has the same one and it is capable of doin the zed engine so instead of hiring one out everytime its cheaper to just buy one :) Therefore if anyone in the Cambridge area needs a crane let me know :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200538778174&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Marty

thursday about lunch time parked at the shops in fairlands, Guildford. a black zed with stock wheels

Seeing as I use my car every day and about a month, six weeks ago the roads were full of rocksalt. Couple that with sub zero temps I just never got round to washing the car and I certainly will not take it to a roadside car wash :nono: I notice the wheels were getting more and more filthy and of course I knew this was salt :thumbdown: Oh deary dear ruined :mad: A bit of soap and water - a complete waste of time :huh: Fear not - look at them now :thumbup: 20 mins on each one and I have them back beautiful again - all shiny shiny How is all done? Well I have posted before, good old fashioned brillo and elbow grease, other products I find a bit lame, …

i am taking my wiring loom out of me zed cus the car is rottern and puting it in to a good shell. Has any one eva changed looms if so is it hard to do?

Hi, A few weeks back. whilst in the office, I found a photo of the engine bay, various parts labelled. As there is no Haynes the diagram was super useful, but now I cant find it again... Can anyone post a link for me? Cheers!!

Hya, iam abit gutted, after trying to get my zed back to former glory I pulled it to the end of the drive and the car cut out with no warning, just like I turned the key off. The car wizzes over but not trying to fire at all any ideas guys? engine always as been good. Cheers Mark

How do i change the title on my build thread and add an **updated** Cheers Dan

I can,t make my mind up whether it,ll look right , although i,ve smoothed and blended the sideskirts the rear bumper has a Greddy Gracer rear skirt on it and i,m worried it,ll make it look a bit bland if i fill the swage in . I,ve got a 99 front which will still have it,s swage left in it so i,m thinking leaving the rear one as it is will look more balanced . What do you reckon ? Smoothed sides The bumper with the skirt on ( old piccy ) 99 Front with the swage ( another old piccy)

just wondering how many there is around my way, as not noticed many around, im in the okehampton area

has anyone eva changed bodys on a zed, wiring loom, dash, engine, etc if so how did u find it??????:huh:

Saw you parked near the bank, gave you a wave but it looked like you were on the phone..

Is there such a thing as this around somewhere? I could be doing with a look at the setup before I do some things and make matters worse!

looked at my speed senser today,the car is a jap spec tt & the senser is not like the one on jefftt's thread.the wires go into the cap which looks like it is perminantly fixed so am assuming this is not causing my trouble?

Hi all, removed my water sodden spoiler today after it completely freezing solid and splitting everywhere. so now an excuse to remove and smooth or replace with a fibre glass one. After spending a full afternoon removing glue and bonding it cleaned up really well with not a hint of rust in sight. went to open boot lid and it almost smacked me in the chin its so light, before it wouldnt even stay up! question is i have a miossing section of trim in the middle (in pic). do we have to buy a new trim full one piece or when i buy the infill part does it cover it? cheers James

hi,can someone point me in the direction of a thread on how to remove the speed etc.:confused1:

Yup, had the car MOT'd today and got the dreaded red sheet. Luckily though there's only two points - Nearside rear wheel bearing has excessive play *DANGEROUS* (love getting dangerous notes :p ) - Offside rear steering pivot point has excessive play Not too bad i don't think. And they didn't spot the leaking brake pipe, which is nice :p Looks like I'll be making the arduous 10min trip up the m6 to Zedworld lol

gone

Hi all, As above how can i find out or estimate the compression ratio of my engine? Its going to be higher than standard because of the head gasket thickness ive got. I know the normal route these days is to go low comp but my build has ended up high comp along the way lol. Ive been told of a few pros and cons...but has anyone else gone this route before?
