Ok we were was surprised to find a broken rear spring on a zed the other day but even more so that the springs are Eibachs, these are one of those names we all feel happy to trust, not sure if this was a failure due to manufacturer error or wear and tear, incidently the shock although old looking was perfectly servicable, Will be speaking to Eibach to see what they think, of course I have no idea how old they are or what mileage thay have done but really should not have broken.:( Jeff TT

bought a full black leather interior (seats). my z has already got but the leather on the drivers seat is totally wacked. my passenger and rear seats are okay but had to buy the full set. Can't wait til they are delivered. :clap:

Been waiting for ages to put these on, so temporary attached them today to see what they look like, They didnt fit as good as I thought they would being Bomex? I still need to do a bit of jiggery pokery to get them to sit right on the car. So next weekend they are back off and I`m going to splatter waxoyl everywhere behind the skirts and fully attach them!!! Hope you like!

Hi, just got a Z, needs abit of tlc, then I have big plans for her as its a project, also my other car is in the pics probs get slated as its a Scoob lol, Thanks Mark

Hi. Grey U.K spec on some dished wheels, didn't catch the reg as you passed the tram lines but she was looking good!

Saw you hooning just past the fox & crown pub, not one I'd seen before round this way.

Well im picking up my new shell today so if anyone sees a black swb being towed by an audi traveling from essex to shropshire give me a wave

Im not sure what this could be, but my car is smoking on idle at full temp, this is what its like even on a full run and i have been driving it for a few hours, any ideas? I hope its just something like PCV valves. And yes i know, it needs to be washed, but when the car lives on a farmyard most of the time, these things are going to happen.

Can anybody help ? My steering when turning goes heavy light heavy and is NOT quick responsive. If turning out of a junction it can near pull me into oncoming traffic (thats if theres any) lol. It is pretty dangerous though. I have read a few threads on this but still do not know where to start.:helpsmilie:

saw silver zed travelling clockwise on M25 today around M23 junction couldnt see the reg as was busy munching my pringles :innocent: looked like a nice car though

JUst got a Z today and drove it back home soon as you hit 60mph you get a constant Bong or binging noise, for 300 miles lol Anyone got clue what this is and how to stop it? Cheers Mark

:cry: Zeds gone to a new home. Couldn't justify keeping it and my overdraft has had a beating with recent events. Sad to see her go and have a big gap in my garage now. Maybe one day I'll get me a short slicky only time will tell.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Jamie, Jeff and the team at Zedworld. My car is now running brilliantly after having a new injector fitted and the run home was great!!! :clap: Thanks for putting up with my paranoia and I hope you get your laptop PSU sorted!!! I ran a balance test when I got home and all is well!!!! :thumbup: Thanks again guys!!! Paul

Ok ive been having a think about the air filter set-up and was wondering if anyone has done this or could find any problems with this idea. I was thinking of cutting down the pipework of the air filter system by just connecting silicon hose straight from the turbos to behind my bumper. I would then make air ducts direct to the cone filters for direct air feed. This would be alot better for air flow being practicly direct and alot less heat soak from the mile long standard pipework. Can anyone see any problems with this or should i just stick with the Doolz? Cheers Dan

Only did a dry test , should have read the online manual first :blush: It,s not looking good though :cry::cry::cry: 137psi 130psi 135psi 130psi 145psi 137psi engine front I was checking it out as i,m gonna take her off the road , do a manual conversion , fit manual tubs and boost controller , looks like another engine or re-build is needed .

I have the urge to remove the zed from my life and just have a nice nbormal car??? Allan

I saw a red 300zx TT parked outside Central Tyres in High Wycombe this morning; as I was turning into the trading estate. Anyone here by chance.....? Richard:cool3:

Hey guys For those of you that have air ducts in place of the front fog lamps andalso have a pipe/hose etc connected to them leading to either the intercoolers or front brakes; a: What kind of hose/piping did you use and what diameter was it ( a pic of the type used would be outstanding ) b: how did you connect the hose to the ducts. As always, any help greatly appreciated. Maz

As above, been having a few niggles with the lights recently? Firstly the rear near side light would not illuminate, indicators and brakes were ok, so Jeff advised the light module in the boot was faulty, so i replaced it and hey presto it worked!!! But i have just noticed when i press the brake pedal my fogs light up at the front?? Strange Any suggestions?? Thanks Daz
