Reet, I had a major problem bleeding my brakes, just couldn't get anything out of the rear, no air, no oil, no nowt. Turns out the master cylinder was faulty. Changed it, now i can bleed them, all four corners fine, and one of the bleed points on the ABS unit no probs, bleeds a treat. However, the over nipple on the ABS unit, the one for the rears, i have bled about a litre out of it, and still loads of air, bled it for hours, and still air, something isn't right, with all the nipples closed, it makes a hissy whirry noise, could the ABS unit be faulty and letting air in somewhere? There is no way there could still be air in it, surely? Everything is tight aswell.... Any i…

I'm doing a clean up and service of my spare engine before it goes into my zed. The engine has been in storage for over a year and I've never done engine work before so I have a few questions 1. Can anyone recommend a good "liquid gasket" for when I fit the inlet outlet pipes, water pump etc? SORTED 2. What type of gear puller will I need to pull the crank pulley off? 3. The sprockets have some surface rust on them (see pic). Are they fubar'd and need replacing or can they be cleaned up? 4. If they can be cleaned; can I take them off without shaggin up the timing, if I do one at a time and ensure the belt hasn't moved, or am I being naive? I will b…

Anybody have an idea of how much you would pay for a rebuilt engine with forged rods, pistons, uprated inectors and metal headgaskets which is low mileage?

Im looking to buy in the next few weeks a quick release steering wheel, i know i need a wheel that will fit the quick release Boss but do i need to worry about anything else , ie - will most boss's fit the zed , are they universal or do i need a specific boss, also would it affect anything on the car- obv the cruise control buttons i know but im willing to wire that up another way. thanks

hey. ive been looking at an NA manual J plate import with about 70K on the clock which is looking pretty shabby at the moment. but i was wondering roughly how much i could get i could get for the parts, is there any rough guide as to what each is worth? and also which bits will not fit my UK TT? cheers for any info

T'was driving to my Cousins in South Norwood and saw 2 within 2-3 minutes of each other last night. The Red one with a kit on it was driving through the centre of Croydon. The Green one I let you out of the BP station next to Whitehorse Rd I was in the White Nissan CUBE. OOOH ARRR YEEE???

Simple question with a simple answer probably :lol: Will a tt ecu work on a na car? Im guessing it will run crap and over fuel everywhere but im asking anyway! My main reason for asking is I see loads of chipped modified ecu for tt cars on ebay and here but none for a na car. Cheers

Something Ive wanted to do for ages and now after a bit of saving up and a few light taps with a lump hammer I've got the new lights in. Love the look, the only slight downside is the peachy-coloured indicators, but I can live with that! :D These are the genuine article too, so my old 89-spec ones will be up for sale soon, once I can be bothered to clear all the liquorice sealant off them!! :online2long:

After I identified a loose pipe following my boost loss and black smoke episode, I noticed there appears to be something missing from the engine bay. The pipe highlighted in green is the outside drivers-side intercooler pipe that goes to the back of the engine, then down (where it's come loose and popped off) - this whole pipe currently moves up and down when pushed and pulled, but it looks like along with the jubilee clip at the back of the engine, there should be something in the red circle that clamps the pipe to side of the plenum. Is this the case?

Hi people, got my zed featured in "Japanese Performance" as car of the month...... Happy days!!!!!! :w00t: :cool3: :thumbup1: Al.

Hope you like guys :-)

Been trying to figure out why my 99spec front wont fit on my new zed, I've tried for the life of me to get a snug fit up at the wings. I've modded the inter-cooler ducts and even removed the polystyrene that was on the nudge bar, and removed the front fog lights, but i just cant seem to get it to sit flush with the wings for some reason? I didn't have this problem with my black zed when i put it on that. and apart from a under tray that its not catching on, that's the only difference. Am i missing something here?

hey guys, i need my OSR wheel bearing replacing, but dont think i can afford to get it done by zedworld his month :-( so i was wondering, is it an easy job? what section of the service manual would it be in? (i cant seem to find any reference to bearings) are they bolt in units or press in, and is it worth going down the second hand route? cheers guys

mine leaks inside the car from the seal, so i bought a new one from ebay (did not ACTUALLY go through ebay as i needed it for dwyb that was 2 days later).... didnt actually turn up in time :( mines the one on the bottom, the one at the top is the one i got sent.. whats (remember my car is NA the engine is TT so is there a difference in NA & TT master cylinders? or have i been sent some random one for some spurious nissan??????

well the inevitable happened, when i converted from NA to TT there was no clutch or flywheel included in the sale of 'all parts required for conversion' so i just used the NA clutch and flywheel..... it was an exeedy clutch that had only done 500 miles so i thought it was gonna be ok for a tt kicking, just to make sure, i rang a few places and did a bit of research and discovered the NA exeddy clutch was (apparently) capable of coping with in the region of 400bhp :\ anyway..... this is no longer the case.... clutch is now slipping in 5th 4th and a bit in 3rd, iv got a tt flywheel and a tt pressure plate i JUST need a lining..... except no one sells them any mo…
