Hi, I was thinking of getting this done to my NA at the end of the year, Anybody know of any zeds with a LPG conversion ? I think using the arial hole near the boot would be a good filler point if you moved the arial to the rear schooshy, as mines not used. Lee

on the coil packs or what you call them the two little wires to each pack , one is yellow and black and the other diff colour but thinner my question is does the thicker wire always go to the the front end of car or rear. ?

Now ive been using 10/40 semi synthetic, but of late and its not getting better, ive got some tapping at the top end, probably lifters. That i can live with, but ive now got what sounds like a baring or tensioner pulley noise, but appears to be coming from inside middle- ish of the engine. It appears worse when warm, so oil thinner obviously, so to keep the noise getting on my nerves, its embarrassing when stopped at traffic lights etc in town, sounds like a diesel lol ( actually not that bad) im thinking of user a thicker oil, i had heard a member use 20/50 and seem to cure it or quieten down a bit. Any thoughts..............? Im changing my engine in the summe…

Hey folks does anyone have any recovery/transport contacts in the East Anglia area that could move a shell for me this weekend? Its going from Thetford to Lincoln :) Marty

Today we somehow managed to get the zed to kind of run. I say kind of as it kept ticking over then dying when you went to hit the gas. The timing and the map is all wrong but it did run on all six. After we kind of got it to rev up my neighbours wife came around in a right mood telling us in no uncertain terms to STOP IT. Under no account could we carry on as the smell of petrol and terrible noise was simply to much for her. I asked her when she was going out so we could have another try, and it seemed to annoy her even more saying it was not the place to do it. Cut a very long story short I went round there later and I told her I would try and keep it down or send …

my old maf had 5 connector tabs a-e i think, then the one i brought from someone only has 4 connection tabs, b-e. is this ok? its cured the prob with the old maf not working and this one obviously is but is the (a) tab actually connected to anything as it turns out that the clicking noise i thought was coming from under the car is actually from the engine - a misfire! could this be from this new maf or is it totally unrelated? also is it still ok to drive the car lightly with a misfire for a day or two until the garage can fit it in or will it cause damage?

As above without damaging scuttles as i'm trying to remove them for refurb. Got the nut covers off and nuts off but can;t seem to lift the arms of the spindles??? Help :helpsmilie:

finally got all mi bits together after about 4 years off collecting performance parts, now assembly time yeeha!!!!!:tooth:

I just got mine now, ordered the one without the brake light, but this one has the bulb holders, and the connector (tho no connections) and the red diffuser, and the shape/outline of the brake light on the facia, is this normal? i thought they were flush and smooth without the brake light? or have they messed up and given me the more exspensive one? :) i can't see any light through the brake light section tho....

does anybody know if there is supposed to be a plate or baffle or nothing here in the picture,?? as I stripped it years ago and only now putting it together, i cant find owt in the manual?? rich

hi , saw a lovely dark blue soft top zed at 7.15am in coleshill . looked just like 1 i saw for sale in tamworth last august

Trying to start car with no luck. Taken a plug out and can't see any spark any ideas?

going to replace the stock rad with an aftermarket ally one, thats TT fitment am i right in assuming the TT and N/A have different mounts? and if so, is there a kit? CheerZ

Looks like i'm going to have to replace the Hicas arms or linkages on my car. I'd convinced myself that the best course of action would be to fit a lock out kit (as supplied by Driftworks) and do away with the Hicas system altogether. Just wanted to gauge opinion really.. Those in favour say aye, those not in favour say naye... and why. Cheers

anyone ever fitted them to a zed? si - any pics

Now compare that to mine and we have a long massive fuel tank held on by straps. Where's his fuel tank? Are the na's diff? I was hoping to fit a single exit in roughly the same position as one of those hks hiper mufflers but I can't see how it would work as my fuel tank gets in the way :closedeyes: Surely not everybody with an hks hiper system has to relocate their tank :mellow:

Hey guys, Now that i've gotten my stereo sorted out, just wondering what you guys think is the best audio solution? I know that it's 6.5" speakers that can go into the front (do they go in without modifying the door?) but i'm not sure if it's 16cm or 17cm. Also, I know that 4" x 6" speakers go in the back, but i'm not sure if that's the best that will go in. For this month i'm replacing the rear speakers, so advice on them would be great. I'm limited to about £60 per speaker at the moment but any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi chaps, would appreciate any help on this. Was gutted the other day when I found out my TT manual has turbos exh housings from an auto (.54). Seems most used import motors here in South Africa are autos these days, so anyway I pulled out all my 200sx turbo spares on the bench and did some head scratching. I know the 300 manual turbos are AR .62 4 bolt pattern and the 200 sx s13 T25 are AR .64 5 bolt pattern. Both the 300 and 200 have .48 compressor sides. If I mated the .64 from the 200 sx to the 300 .48 comp from the 300 would there be a shit load of lag or would the slight difference between the .62 and .64 exh housings be minimal? TIA

went to visit artztogo today to sort out a iffy HID light on his Zed, his passenger side HID basically works sometimes and sometimes it doesnt, now to rule out a ballast problem, i swapped the one with the intermittent problem yet met with the same results, on the same side as the intermittent problem . basically his HIDs are fine. would it be a faulty relay or wiring loom issue? as his passenger side headlamp is dead including high beam when the problem occurs Bulbs are fine, as tested them also.

Hi, finally just got my zed back on the road after 6months, flew through MOT yesterday and i took it for a drive last night and all was well. been out in it tonight and theres a strange noise coming from the near side wheel. the best way i can describe it is that its like a scrape followed by a knock that gets faster as the car speeds up and slows until the car stops. Ive checked around the wheel for any rubbing and cant see anything a miss. Ive jacked the car up and spun the wheel and the sound isnt there. Im completly stuck as to what it could be any help greatly apreciated cheers si

After thirteen hours to change the sump on my own, I could have set fire to the bloody thing :crying:. Thanks to Jimmer for the sump.. what a star!. What a biatch of a job to do with the car in on axel stands. Oil dripping on your face, no room to move, and bolts that broke on the suspension taking them off. To get the sump off I had to drop and remove all the suspension and cross member, support the engine, and getting the bracket on and off that goes under the oil filter tree was a right pain in the backside. Anyhows all done now, no damage to the internals but the sump was clearly being hit by the crank when I turned it a few times. Well I can put my mind at…
