A big thank you to all who attended the Zedworld Xmas Bash giving their £1 raffle ticket money raised money for the following charity, we have received back a thank you letter below, now we have a supporter number we plan to continue directing any more fund raising we do to this cause, and especially any of you who have children will know we need these places and supporting them is a no brainer, so again thanks guys and gals, have a pat on the back.

Hi guys, I have been removing the interior panels for re-trimming and am having serious trouble getting the centre unit which holds the arm rest and hand break gater out. I've done the screws on each side of the gear stick, and through reading some posts on here found the two screws hidden under the felt in the arm rest box, I have also removed the 'T' shaped piece of trim which sits between the seats ( SWB car ), but I still cant get it to lift out. Now, under the arm rest there is what appears to be a factory fit controller for a CD multi-changer, is this likely to be the problem and if so any ideas on how to get it out. Cheers in advance Martin.

There's a 97' manual NA radiator on ebay at the mo, I'm guessing it's off a Jap given the year, just wondering if it will go on my 92' Jap manual converted TT?......

Hi Guys, I have 2 small questions, I know the answers to, but just checking! 1. What do i do with my autobox oil cooler and pipes now that i have gone manual? 2. Small black box under centre console behind hand brake with 2 stainless pipes coming out and going into transmission tunnel, whats it for? Thankyou Daz. :winkiss:

What are good batteries? Mine went flat as car hasn't been out for a few months due to snow etc. Tried charging it but the red light stays on instead of turning green(had it on charge for about 12 hrs). Don't want to risk a half duff battery shagging the alternator up. So what battery is good value for these motors and how much do they cost?

Needs to be near the front. Can anyone tell me where these might be? Pictures always help

As the title really. Any advice most welcome - just have a horrible image of it going off just as I remove the front facia of the steering wheel ! Thanks Mark

Hi People Just started ripping old suspension components off car to fit new components. i have the following to fit to the front :- Adjustable camber arms Adjustable Tension Rods Energy Suspension Master Kit Stillen Uprated anti-roll bars Adjustable link arms Tein Monoflex Suspension EDFC. In the picture below:- I have got the poly bush which fits where the yellow spot is. Can you get new improved rubber/ polyurathane parts? Can they be replaced? Is it worth doing? I have also got a set of 6 pot AP brakes to go on. What is the best way to remove the brake shield complete? Is it welded to the hub? I wondered if i cut through, wh…

Hi Guys, Been having probs with the steering feeling notchy so decided to try a replacement UJ. The old one was sloppy but I have another problem, please see the attached pics. The UJ only just hangs on the the bottom of the steering column when connected to the rack, the pinch bolt isn't really located over the flat area in the splines of the column, it's on the very end of the column. Surely this can't be right?? Perhaps something else has gone awry? I've attached some pics in case I'm not explaining myself very well... Any advice/input appreciated. Cheers RobH

Looking to purchase oil hose to go from the oil cooler to the engine. Does this have to be High pressure oil pipe? I'm just having trouble finding this. All I can find is the low pressure stuff. I'm probably just being stupid and looking in the wrong place. Thanks, Ant

Guys, The Lower plenum gaskets (x2) - when should these be changed???... a:/ Always after the lower plenum has been removed b:/ Every 60K or whenever the Lower Plenum is off, or whatever comes first. c:/ Gaskets are reusable - go for it - if they look ok. d:/ Stop whinging about the £90.00 and just change them! Your guidance appreciated - as ever. :alucard: :helpsmilie:

Hi just a random question ! ive got a leak in my hicas system and getting a lockout bar to replace at the rear, been doing hours and hours of looking for the best way to bypass the hicas, now a lot of people are saying join the hicas feed line back to the pas pot,now would it be okay for me to do the bypass to the pot and still drive my z , before i fit the awaiting lockout bar, just a thought!!!

Just thought I would post a few pics of what I picked up recently from Jerrick owner of MeisterR recently, have to say that he knows what he's talking about and the items are very high quality. Can't wait to get them on hte car! Fully 16 way adjustable with pillow ball mount I have never dealt with Jerrick before but would certainly recommend him to any forum members for furhter info have a look at his site. http://www.meisterR.com ver competitive price to with a few deals to be had at the moment. If you can't see what you want suspension wise give him a call as he does the adjustable chamber arms & tension rods as well through his other com…

about 2 days ago my car ('91 NA Jap Spec) stalled when i was changing gear (from 3rd down to 2nd, but before i lifted my foot off the clutch the engine was dead). Sometimes the idle can be perfectly stable at around 800 revs but other times it really fluctuates and drops to 400 revs (when it drops below it stalls), there doesnt seem to be a pattern as to when it happens, eg hot vs cold engine etc. Also i have to accelerate really really gently as if i try to accelerate a decent amount (when joining onto a fast road) the car really loses performance and feels like driving a 1l corsa, you can really feel the resistance (almost as if the engine isnt getting enough fuel). …

Guys just fitting lots of new goodies to the car and was wondering if there is a right/wrong way to fit thes ( see pic below) or does it not matter? passenger side shown if it makes any difference Obviously I will make sure the locking screw are accessible and not like pic B once fitted lol So A or B cheers H.

Hi guys. So i've been offered a set of 17" 'superadvan'? wheels in exchange for my stock set + a few quid. The seller claims they fit'straight on' + are the same offset. As usual i'm not convinced, any one know for sure? :taz:

I've finaly got around to swapping my stock exhaust for the Fujitsubo Giken one I had lying around. I knew the stock one was on its way out, but only now have I realised the extent of it. One side had rusted all the way through so that the backbox wasnt even joined to anything.. :| Anyway I'm fitting downpipes in the process, and am having a bit of trouble getting to the two bolts on the top of the stock turbo elbows.. any advice on how to get at these would be appreciated. I could imagine that on an auto it is easier as you could reach down from the top of the engine bay, but on the manual the clutch cylinder is in the way... Secondly the new exhaust system …

Some days I hate my job, when a zed owner puts their trust in you to advise on a problem been the messenger of bad news can suck! So as the photo's show the guy had an apparent small interaction with a lorry tyre or section of (we think) on the motorway. The first impact marks look innocent enough as the front bumper edge looks only grazed, however as the wheel hopped over the debris it whipped it up violently into the sill and door leaving huge dent area and lots of rubber marking. Closer inspection shows the wing had been displaced too, but and importantly it had not been hit directly, despite a dent in the wing this is more of a stress mark than an impact …

cant decide if its nice or not, does anyone have any pics of one fitted?
