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

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?

Just to save me hunting for it out in the cold, where will I find the earth for the drivers side headlight?

was taking the zed for a run a saw another zed was to dark to see colour etc etc was about 9,30 between hatherliegh an north tawton, just coming up the hill out of exbourne had the round lights on the rear

bought a bargain set of leathers off of a member on here. well over the last couple of days i have fitted them. well i can say i am totally chuffed with them, stock look but new :thumbup: here are some before and after pics. there was some dodgy sticky substance on one of the seat bases but a little soapy water and some elbow grease and it came off.:sweatdrop: now can anybody recommend a decent cleaner and nourishment treatment to keep them looking nice, i do have the autoglym stuff but what do others use

I,ve been waiting for an E.L panel coming from china , turned up today so i,ve been playing ! lol I read this write up but didn,t fancy using an oven ! http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/tech/illrp/illrp.html I used a couple of blow heaters to warm my centre panel after removing the brass pins , they,re not screws as mentioned in the write up , i then gently prised it apart. The inside black is very translucent so i scotchbrited it and used some satin black to paint it I used a 320 grit DA pad and sanded the paint off the letters which are raised and make it simple to do Once sanded hold it up to the light to see if it,s ok Now the E.…

went for a drive today,speedo stopped ,power streering went hard & hicas light came on.got home,turned off ignition,started car again & hicas light went out & power steering came back but didn't think to try speedo.i assume this is speed sensor related?:surrender:

Just seen this on e-bay and thought it was worth a watch (purely to see what it ends on) :blink: description> cant be more than one or two of these in the UK!?

Jusat installed a set of dip beam 6000k HIDS today, just been out to test them in the dark and when engine is running and everytime i switch the HID's on my speedo needle wangs itself round to 180 and back and the trip counter white segment rotates itself one number..WTF? is this a ground fault? weird or what.

been looking over the zed an was wondering what this is 1) 2)

Well I`ve been busy over crimbo getting my car sorted for next year, had lots of chroming and polishing done and done some myself, the plenum came back from the shop very poor so I `ve had to do it again and it still needs a lot of work yet, I was excited today so I put everything together for a trail fit to see what it`s gonna look like, hence these pics I`ve moulded black gloss perspex over the upper wheel arches and the slam panel for a fresh clean look I tried to be original with the colour scheme but its very hard to choose a nice colour that hasnt been done, so I`ve gone for a similar shade to Ant300zx`s work of art (my favorite on the club) Still lots to …

is there anyone who dus the metal work for the zeds, i know that steve dus i just wondered if there is any one else?

Anyone else gonna get something different for their next car? I plan to get something new in about a year and spend a fair bit on something thats already been built how i want it. Cant decide whether to go down the supra/skyline route with savage power, or a powerful evo for overall performance... I'm leaning towards evo's at the moment, seen some extremelly nice 6's with 500+ AWHP :)

i am rebuilding the zed (trying too) and i keep finding more and more rot. the rear box section behind the corner of the bumper is totaly rottern. i have removed the filler cap cus i am going to weld it up, then i will put an alloy tank in the boot. but the rust, i am going have to do my best and make new panels. also i have the other side to do and the sills and a bit on the floor. apart from that it ok. is it worth doing all of this work???????? i only payed 450 for the car. its a uk spec manual and full leather good for the money. i could save my pennys and buy a gooden but i dont know what i am buying. but atleast the work will be dun on my car. its just costin me tim…

Hi, In the process of putting my Z back on the road but drove it round the block today as it aint been moved much since getting it and I noticed a problem with the brakes the brake pedal is pumping back at you when you apply the brakes any ideas, was fine before it was taken off the road. Also just got a rust free tailgate so Iam over the moon but it needs the stick that goes along under the spoiler says nissan on ect, can you get them from any where? Cheers Mark
