What are the general views ona matt black zed? I sold my wheels to somebody with one, and when i first saw it i hated it (ive never liked matt balck). But the next day, if didn't offend me, and i kind of have the urge to do it to mine. I want a proper respray once its all sorted (if it gets sorted), but for now shall i bother? Next question, do they do a matt white???

Hi mate,just a quickie, front crank seal-does it prise out after removing lower belt pulley? TA!:cool3:

Ok im hoping some wheel experts can help me here. Since June i placed an order for some wheels being Front 245/40/18 9.5j et25, Rear 265/35/18 10j et35 knowing i would maybe have to do some minor arch work. After many problems with the company im still waiting for the wheels as they still havent been shipped in to the country. The company have now offered me the same wheels with the same offset but in 19" Would they still fit? would i have to change the tyre profiles? I think 19" would look better in the arch but they will also make the brakes look smaller and also a bit heavier so im not sure what to do. Any ideas?

Oh my been waiting to get my air compressor so I could get my back wheels off as wont budge on a breaker bar. Was expecting my first job with a compressor to make light work of this. Ummm, nope. So I bought this and this http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-ped14a100-3hp-portable-v-twin-compresso/path/diy-semi-professional-air-compressors-2 http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cat232-14pc-air-impact-wrench-ratchet- Ive tried tons of penetrating fluid and even heating the bolts up, no joy. HELP!!!

After a bit of soul searching, and doing a few sums i have finally decided to bite the bullet and go for a manual conversion in my car. I know i wanted to keep it auto for a number of reasons, but having weighed up the pros and cons i have decided to take the plunge. A big thanks to Andy Isherwood for supplying the conversion kit at a very reasonable price and for offering to help me get it sorted. Also a big thanks to those of you who helped me with the old box issues. Although in the end she was knackered, It gave me a massive sense of acheivement to get her running again, even if it was only for a week. Also an apology to those who i have been spea…

I drove my car for the first time with standard wheels on tonight. Cant see it being the wheels, but it felt boncy. Not up and down, more sideways! I drove a zed a few years ago that felt the same. Bushes?? What would be causing this?

Hi everyone, Im trying to get a few parts sorted before ill have a big push at getting the Zed finished. Ive got front Powertrix adjustable Tension rods but some how lost 2 out of the 4 bolts that bolt the Tension arm to the lower arm. Does anyone know what type bolt i need and pitch of the thread etc so i can fit them safely? Thanks Dan

How do you confirm that #1 cly is at TDC on the compression stroke? I've turned the crank until the timing marks are all in the correct place and no.1 is at the top of the stroke, but the marks on the old cam belt don't line up at all :confused1: What am I doing wrong?

Had it in my mind to take the Z somewhere to get it waxoyled but after searching on ebay I found that there was similar products in rattle cans. So I purchased the pictured from my local car parts store for a fiver :wink: and then spent 40 mins with car in the air at my local garage, torch in one hand and spray can in the other doing it myself. Able with the straw to get in all nooks and crannies and am very pleased with the job, very very worthwhile :thumbup1: The car is very sound and I just have very slight rust on the inner sills, but coated everywhere and just had enough. It is sticky stuff as you can see - I have some on my thumb, no jokes there ple…

I managed to find a guide the other day that showed photos of all different engine bay shots/ under arches etc i think it was the Australian forum but not sure. its not the one in our faq though. i need a photo of the layout of the pas hoses on the crossmember, can anyone help

Its time for me to start my engine bay blinging, so just before I place my order`s at z1, z-centre ect, has anyone got bling for sale?? Chrome balance bars, throttle/fuse/ covers, pots, brackets, nuts/bolts? anything really to tart the bay up. let me know one here or PM. Thanks in advance :cool3:

Hi, I`m looking for a chrome oil filler cap, has anyone got one for sale? or a good contact, website where I can get one? What size is the cap I need and do any other vehicles have the same size cap? Thanks in advace :cool3:

i use my Zed every day, to and from work at the very least, and was wondering how many others on here do too. and does anyone have any advice as to how i can keep her in the best nick possible whilst using her all the time?

Dont you just hate it when some half-wit gets jealous of what he / she doesnt have and takes their anger out on your pride and joy? Yup, you guessed.....Some little eejit decided to run a sharp impliment along the passenger side of my car yesterday afternoon while i was asleep. i hope i find out who it was.....and i hope they dont enjoy the use of their fingers too much! :death::death::death:

Not that I have an autobox but just out of pure interest, according to wikipedia the NA and TT zeds have different autoboxes, is this true? 4-Speed RE4R01A Automatic Transmission for the NA 4-Speed RE4R03A Automatic Transmission for the TT I always thought they had the same autobox! (If it is the case, TT's fitted with a replacement NA autobox probably arnt going to last long!?)

My zed isn't the best zed in the world. I wanted to sell it to buy a nicer one, but got that many time wasters i decided to keep it. There is 1 Zed for sale at the moment i really want. I dont know if its best to spend loads on my car, or just buy this other one. I'd try 1 last time to sell mine as a car, but if that doesn't work, is it worth breaking, or only break a car that is damged/blown up etc??? My car doesn't have any problems, just need a good tidy up...

Does anyone run their Zed with an Optima battery in it? Was thinking about a yellow top one if the dimensions are gonna let me fit one in. Or are there any better batteries on the market?

I want one of these for christmas please, Nissan R390

Hoping someone can tell me what rear spoiler is on this Zed? (Sorry if it's any members on here thats selling it and I've posted a link)
