My zed is driven every day whether rain or shine, always drives and purrs very well. For the last couple of weeks ive noticed that on full boost or driving fast it seems to be holding back a bit. So with a day off today, ive just spent a couple of hours going over all electrical stuff to make sure its perfect. Checked and cleaned all the usual plugs and connectors, cas,tps, ptu, injectors and coil packs, very slight return of green in the odd place, but all is now better. The worst culprit was the MAF, Blitz SUS and throttle bodies, it was all choked up with crap, so much so that the filter was restricted to breath. After a quick service with K&N filter c…

Hey, happy New year to you all! I've decided its to difficult to get hold of some T/T wider rear wheels so I am looking at other cars alloys for my Z Spend £ridiculous amounts of dosh on wheels/tyres is out of the question as I have my Holiday in Thailand with the wife and Mini Me to think of in May. I have found something that I feel works, 18" Mazda RX8 alloys, still a slight dog-leg to the appearance and same off set . Has anyone else done this?

Here guys i recently hosted a Z cruise and i thought you guys might like to see how the night unfolded. We were expecting 10 cars to attend but unfortunately, only 3 turned up. Still the guys were great and it ended up being a great night of cruising. We started just outside of the city of Melbourne before heading South to a town called Werribee.

Well I started the big conversion this afternoon!!! And just got in, Black, bruised and aching, but loads done!! Got the car on axel stands 18" in the air, and removed drivers seat and interior parts to access gear knob etc, Removed exhausts, propshaft, starter, gearbox links and wires and fitted the pedal box , drained the gear oil and all ready to drop the autobox out tommorrow evening!! :sweatdrop: One f***in allen bolt on the propshaft took about 1 hour to remove as it was right at the top and i had a 1mm turn on the allen key, I nearly gave up after 20 mins but kept on and whoooo it came off!! I am a bit confused over the difference in flywheels? I hav…

Weather was good today so i decided to get these two systems off the car to tidy up a little bit on vacuum hoses. I had the wings off today anyway so it was easy enough to get to all the AIV and PRVR bits :) Marty

just a couple of pic's of my zed last week parked up at work & frozen solid!! post any other pic's of your zeds in the snow last week!!

Do they fit? Cant check as the car is in the garage.

Hi all, Does anyone know if or how much approx the rear of the the turbo expands by when hits hot? Not sure how true this is but after thinking about it as well most things expand when they are hot.....so it got me thinking because the right hand side turbo sits about 1 to 1.5mm away from the block in one area. Do i have anything to worry about? My turbos are ceramic coated if that helps in anyway! Cheers Dan

Got a slight air leak where the air induction pipe bolts onto the passenger side turbo. Can I just use and type of gasket paper and cut it to shape to form a proper seal or does it have to be of the high temperature variety or even a metal one?? Also can you just get a replacement gasket for this pipe from someone like Mike at MJP?? Any advice would be great thanks!

Hey folks im wanting to do a few vacuum lines deletion and was searching for blanking caps to use. What has everyone else used as ive done a search on a few sites and cant find any blanking caps to use on the balance pipe cheers Marty

http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/popup_image.php?pID=85&invis=0 I like the look of these back lights, what the best way of doing it?

Was it you in the grey Z just round the corner from co op? I was in a co op lorry passing you on my way down the hill. Its wierd and maybe a bit sad that I get an urge to wave and flash lights even when im not in my Z... I didnt wave or flash lights tho, I resisted lol

my car was running fine, nice and smooth, lent a AFM to someone but went missing in the post :huh: anyone after buying another one, its very spluttery on boost, if you nurse the gas pedal to boost its ok, but try accelarate hard and it holds back & splutters. (like boost lea,k/missing sound) im asuming its the AFM, the new/crap one i have has damaged mesh, can i replace this? does the mesh really matter? or is it the sensor inside what counts.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Bobgenie, just picked up a complete interior from him all for the princely sum of 1 bottle of booze. Top bloke with a couple of proper lovely zeds in his garage. :drool: :drool: Thanks mate

Hey folks im after a few tips on threading wires from the inside of the car through the rubber insulator that goes into the doors as ive got some jap spec mirrors that im going to wire in on a switch for the folding motion. Ive looked at the doors already and it looks pretty tight so just wanted to get some advice cheers Marty

Is any one running Conzult on Windows 7? I'm thinking about getting a new laptop which will have win7 on it, but I need to know if Conzult will still work as this is the main reason for the laptop. I've got the usb convertor so connecting it isn't a problem. Cheers Dave
