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. Sorry about quality, this was taken quite late at night If it says video is private, click this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch_private?v=P4hvQAwQnm8&sharing_token=imgwCw8dtg8tq8nVfX0Cdw [YOUTUBE]P4hvQAwQnm8[/YOUTUBE]

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

Thinking of sourcing a Conzult for my 300zx, if anyone has one can you explain how it works and where the connection plug is inside the vehicle. Please keep it simple

:wack: Just got a nice new MAF off the Fleebay for £70 with a years warranty. Installed it works fine. There is a wee hesitation when I go round a bend or when at idle, do I need the ecu reset to accept the new MAF. The MAF is correct by the way. Cheers:batman:

Sorry if this has been asked before ive got an aftermarket boost gauge is there a vacuum pipe to the stock gauge that i can use for my new gauge?:confused1: cheers......

As above, I can't remember how the loom is fed through the door :confused1: Cheers dave

Before I bolt every thing up does this look ok?? If not please say......sorry big pics. So so need to clean the garage.......... Thanks....:whistling:

Hi all, I'm changing my inner rear tie rod (failed mot on it :sad:) I've got a hicas eliminater fitted and am having trouble getting a spanner or grips on wide end of tie rod where it goes into hicas. i'm guessing i'm going to need to drop rear section of exhaust to get to it properly. Was wondering if anyone else has managed to get it off without dropping exhaust and if so how? Cheers Nick

Some of you may remember this thread from a couple of months ago... Paint Time Basically, the red paint on my car is knackered. Looks good from a distance, but the drivers door is slightly darker, and theres a few small rust patches that need sorting out. So I have already decided to change the whole colour, and in the end it was a toss up between a straight black or white. Or olive drab :ph34r: I can picture in my mind how I want my Z to look, but didn't know if I would dare to do it olive drab. A lot of you helped me out and gave me the confidence to go for it before, so I ordered a 'sample can' the other day... and sprayed a piece of old…

Just a quick thanks to Dave for sorting me some cheap side skirts and rear bumper - I just t-cut them, and put them on the car (well the skirts anyway) and lucky old me - the paint is an exact match :clap::clap: They fitted perfectly and look lush. I am well pleased with myself. A good wash and polish and she looks lovely. Thanks mate.

Coming onto M4 heading East near Swansea. Waved at you from a Saab 9-3 silver.

just saw you at 12.30 on felpham way, i tooted you at the lights, i was in a white transit. Nice looking zed and also sounded nice.

Really dont wana do it but ive just sat down and worked out my outgoings since just moving house and it leaves me just over £200 a month out of my wage, I could probably afforf to run it but if anything goes wrong im knackered, the car runs sweet as a nut and is fast as f**k, may just see how it goes for the first few months, really dont know what to do as the car is stunning.
