Using genuine Nissan parts is simple they are the best and often only cost a small amount more than non genuine parts. However I can see why it can seem a cost saving to use spurious brands as in most cases they look exactly the same and without any back to back details its hard to make an informed decision one such area is cambelts. So with this in mind a non genuine belt was purchased and compared with a genuine Nissan belt the following photos shows the order of things as and as the finally show there is a big, big difference and I think some of you guys are going to be surprised. Picture one the start on the left we have a BLUEPRINT belt and on the right a …

HIYA PEEPS!!! well thought id try a post on here as im getting no where. i have a 92 manual TT slicktop (the silver fifth gear one) which i just replaced the engine in, after replacing the engine all was great for a couple of weeks then the boost dropped to 0.6bar where it has stubbornly stayed regardless of my efforts to rectify! ive had some pointers off the guys at zed world but were running out of checks as ive covered most now and im probably doing there head in by now :rofl: and up here in scotland im just a tad to far to go visit them unfortunately,heres a list of things ive checked and ruled out, if anyone has any ideas then lets hear em. much appreciated. …

hi everyone im thinking about buying a theft recovered 92 300zx but I have some questions before I do. Apparently the car was recovered and has no keys. I was able to track down all the parts and was wondering how hard of a job it would be to replace the ignition and all the locks. Any information you have is appreciated.

cars been off the road due to crash december 08 :rolleyes: done a re-shell back in April, and had it starting last month :rolleyes: but today was the first time ive been for a drive in it :) whilst i did the re-shell, i used the NA diff, with the TT engine etc etc now i know ive been used to my 1.0 three cylinder corsa for a while, :p but the cars fast as hell! honest its quick as hell with the NA diff, i havent connected the boost solenoids up yet, and i think the NA diff is compensating for the 3PSI safety boost! cant wait to get boost on 14 PSI think its gonna be scary :hurl:

Hi guys, Have a look at this: Clicky The guy seems keen to sell it and it reads well on paper. I just wondered whether the mileage was TOO low? Perhaps it hasnt been used enough for parts to have kept ticking over? Am a bit of a n00b, apologies if the question reads that way! Cheers!

Just sitting here wandering how many zeds do you think are left in the country? There is always a Zed being broken and scrapped, and i hope none have gone to this scrappage scheme!!! I know Zeds are still being imported but if there is less in circulation that means prices should go up lol

So how many of us actually use the zed as a daily drive? Its my only car so I do the daily commute and usual running, probably around 100 miles a week. How ever this will change as my place of work is moving so weekly total will be nearer 250. I drive alternate weeks so it probably gonna cost me an extra £1k a year in fuel alone, not to mention wear and tear on the old girl. I'm thinking of getting a cheap runabout for commuting, but I don't have a drive and parking on my street is limited. If got a cheapy runabout for about £1k I'd save in the long run after a few years or so, I'm not planning on leaving the company for at least 3 years. I don't really…

Has any one ever used digital gauges like these?
