Hey there. I'm in desperate need of advice. I've just gotten back into my car, but my key won't turn in the ignition????? What should I do????? Help!!!

My HID's are not so great, they havnt been very bright since I bought the car, I did look today and they are only a 35w kit. What does everyone else use? Should I be using a 55w kit? Also do I need H1 or H4 (or different!) for a JDM car? Cheers

driving from brentwood i hammered it and at 90 it stopped pulling again for a second and a half so my cars old problem is back. didnt redline but makes me wonder............... Can a faulty speed sensor cause these sorts of havocs? It happens when high loads at high speeds.... i can redline at any other gear except 3rd and above and so cant tell if its Injectors, loom or a faulty Speedo im getting seriously fecked off with this car now. it runs smoother but still cant handle high loads.. It used to do it around 3rd gear at 70-80 mph when it was auto and now its manual its slightly higher speed before doing it but it is still there! :( This Post…

Just reading the post about riding in a Ferrari 360 and thought I'd share a horror moment I had in one..... My son's best friend's dad had one and he came round one day to pick him up from my house. While chatting to him and generally shooting the breeze he offered the car saying 'go on take it for a spin'. I declined but he persisted until I thought 'probably wont get many opportunities to drive one so what the hell'. So off I go in it - F1 gear box and LHD. Great fun until I get back to mine where he is waiting outside my house chatting to my Mrs. As I pull up outside my place I KERB BOTH offside alloys REALLY BADLY !!!!! F*CK F*CK F*CK !!!!! Possibly the…

hi everyone, i would imagine this has been asked many times, but i couldent find anything by searching. but how do i tell if my zed is LWB or SWB sorry for the retarded question

hey everyone, as my zed has the standard speakers still in it i thought i would spruce up the sounds a little. it seems there might be room for some 6x9s int he door cards at the front, has anyone done this before? and if so any guidance to be offered? many thanks

Hi all, right had this leak for a long time now. It`s evident on the bottom of the crank in front of the sump but behind the pulley, i`m guessing this is just where it drains too. So far i`ve had replaced all cam shaft seals, crank seal, rocker covers have been resealed along with the 120k service pack. Pulling the belt cover back, i can see the pulleys have oil on them so obviously the belt too..great. So am i right in suspecting that unless the cams are scored the pulleys themselves are the likely culprits. If so do they have o rings or do they just wear internally? Cheers in advance.

Hi, I have just recentely got my old Z back off my brother he dosent want it anymore and said said I could have it back for £150 lol so I couldnt resist. The body work is good, hardley no rust just needs a spray as the paint work is dull and a few little scratches ect. It is a n/a auto at the minute and sure this question has been asked several times but here I go lol, Is it a simple swap, are the engine mounts ect the same or is welding needed. also is the wiring loom the same or do I need a TT one? I know the ecu will be different, will I have to change the front bit of the prop or the whole thing? I know a na auto box wont last five minutes so hopef…

Eek, god I hate MOT time. Its not even that I dont think it will pass because im sure it will. I think its just the unknown, what could be there that I havnt spotted... Argh! So glad when its done and over for another year! :pinch:

Has any body got the post code for JAE or a proper address please so i can put it in my sat nav.

Hello Im thinking about putting a boost contoller on my car. Can i use a manual one for now? Where does it go? I did wonder if i needed 2 having seperate pipework for each turbo. Am i getting it wrong? Cheers

Whats going on. I hadn't seen a zed in the flesh for easily 6 months. I left mine at home for a hour and was in the VW when a white one went past on my way towards the manor. Then 10 minutes later a red one flew past while near crystal peaks. I only bought my zed just last week and have been keep an extra careful eye out for others and the day i leave it behind 2 come along at once.

Shim Sham Flim Flam my car is going to be repaired on the 18th just getting transportation quotes. Its going to Jimmer to do the head gasket and a few other bits. And John Dixon to put the new emerald system on :scared:. Then off for a Tune and an MOT then finally my Zed will be on the road :cool3: Cant wait to finally get it all sorted and running right! JAE next year...

OK. ive found my stereo has the yellow wire with the click together connectors off. reading up it seems this is the Constant 12v power. where should this connect too? its not the blue loose one that has a 3amp fuse is it? cant see any connector on any loom to connect this too :(

Has any one got the diameter of the Maf , the end the air filter fits on . thanks

Would you recommend for a manual ? Cheers

Will be loading up for JAE first thing in the morning, have got several parts for members anyhow so is there anyone else need any parts, batteries , spark plugs, etc. will save on the postage for you. Cheers, here`s to a good weekend!!:dance: Jeff

Hi All As you probably know my nephew has just bought our grey Z. He's asked me what spark plugs I advise ? Not an expert, so could I ask your preferences please before advising him ? Its a TT, JWT CHIP, HYBRIDS, 345 BHP. Thanks

i have one of the stillen nose panels, is it? with the four vents and oval ducts. i quite like it it came on the car but should i blank the holes off to stop my maf getting wet, not that it is to my knowlegde but it may explain why the maf reacently died. cant imagine il be getting too much benifit from these holes in any event? :whistling:

Hi All, I do not know what it is (im guessing some kind of oil feed/return?) but I hate it and I either want to delete it or hide it somewhere. Not my car, just a google pic: Could someone kindly tell me what it is and point me in the right direction of how to do so? Many thanks, Tom

Hi all, new to the scene, long time lover of the 300 and now looking at buying one. I've hit a small problem, at times I need to take the 3 kids out with me in my car rather than the wifes so require a 2+2, but if I buy a 300 it would have to be a TT. From my research the TT (early 90's anyway) didn't have the 2+2 option. Is this a easy fix? Can I get my hands on the rear seats etc from a 2+2 and put them in the TT?
