Hi guys. I have one installed but i dont really understand it. Ive downloaded the manual and given it a thorough read through, but its still no clearer. It has 4 modes (levels of boost) an off mode, a warn mode and a scatter mode. No idea what scatter is, i know what the off is. Warn mode is confusing me, when i switch to it it has -15 on it in red light. The 4 modes are already set. 2 are at 1.28kg/cm2 68% and the other 2 are at 1.28kg/cm2 57%. When i floor it it goes to 18psi on my aftermarket gauge on mode 1. I know thats not standard, but i dont get what the controller is telling me, its in kg/cm2 I cant see anywhere if its telling my air fuel …

Dear Zedarians, I have been told that the standard gauges dont fit for my car for some reason :s , and that it would be very hard to modify gauges to fit. Could anybody offer an alternative other than fitting LED's as i really want to fit digital gauges. thanks guyssss vic

Dear Zedders, I just got the isotta pedal set, but i dont understand how im suppose to fit the accelerator pedal. Am i suppose to drill through the accelerator pedal and fit the new one?? probably a stupid question, but im stupid. thanks guys

Hi there guys, Can anybody give me their opinion on these and the seller please? Should I get them they will be mated to an uprated fuel rail prob from Danny at DTA. Or am I better off getting Nismo branded? Many thanks, Rob http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290465234453&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

You car you are breaking. What is the spoiler you have moulded in to the rear tailgate... I really like it. Subtle and nearly stock looking.

Who is the nearest to worthing with a consult laptop to check my car , big pretty please ,:helpsmilie:

WTF...!!??! i just tried to get an insurance quote for a non-turbo Zed i was thinking of buying, and the insurance quote was double what i pay for my twin turbo??? i own a 1990 jap spec TT auto,im 21 and i pay 1500 for its insurance, after someone stole my last Zed... but though i know ill get a non turbo fairly cheap to buy, cheaper to run as a daily drive, thought it would be cheaper to insure... but they want just under 4K to insure it...!!! and that was the cheapest... how the hell am i more likely to crash / cause an accident in a manual n/a with 230bhp, then in an auto TT with declared 350bhp...... nothing else has changed, they both have …

Hi, I recently blew the 10amp stereo fuse and when changing i decided to check all the other fuses for blow outs. One that confuses me is a 3amp thats at the top right of the fuse box which was also blown ! i've searched threw the forums and all the translations show the place as empty and mine has a 3amp in it and is clearly marked on the diagram in japanese. I've got a series 4 - 1996 tt. any ideas ?

Paying with hard earned cash for lazy work is insulting to the person paying but some garages seem to consistently get away with it. Case in point, a zed in at the moment having had a replacement engine recently at a garage that advertises on ebay. Following the fitting and collection the car broke down ( over heated ) on the return journey and so went back for more work. The car was collected again and ran but in the loosest of terms, as the car was used more it got worse, the owner had another garage look at it and they found many air and boost leaks, correcting as many as they could find the engine ran much better. But oil and steering leaks made …

Hi Everyone, Just thought i`d write up and say that the Z has just gone and when it went up the road I just cried my eyes out still feel sad now.:crying: Little REDZED

My handbrake handle is tatty but how is it removed please? I have slid off the steel retainer at the button end but nothing else moves :cursing: Do I need to get a complete assembly? What bits come apart? There is one near me on a scrapper, the depress button as a slight gash in it so will not do, but the handle you grip is fine on it, so I am hoping to make a good one from the two :confused1:

hi guys has anyone got the specs of the twin turbo import please? i want to know weight and standard factory horse power?

Ok so assuming you do have a …

Just remembered my mot was due soon,checked and its a couple of days its up. I'm offto work tomorrow so I popped into the garage today to ask to get me in, been asked to take it back about 2.

Evening all, anyone on here with Ultralites? I'm waiting for a set being delivered and I can't find the centrebore listed anywhere, anybody on here know what they are? I would guess 73? Just trying to find out so that I can get spigot rings ordered before the wheels arrive. Cheers

i have decided to go down the auto to manual conversion - are there things to check on a manual gearbox to ensure that it is a desent box - i realise that it would mostly be luck of the draw but i would like this to be the last box if poss (misses will go mental) dave
