:hyper: Got my new Fibreglass Rear Diffuser through the post today! weighs around 1.5kgs and fits perfectly between the two 'blades' coming off my rear bumper. Is super smooth in black and is at an 7degree angle which is a good angle (read between 5-12degrees was best) and it completely covers the fuel tank and ends just before the Diff so fitting shouldnt take to long (although no time, no tools atm and no space) Couple of piccies A Quick Trial Fit obviously the Box wont be there on final fitment and it will be a tighter flush to the bumper Got my flat floor plan done and dusted i reckon so once this is on and funds are back up then will be buying a…

Just got back after getting stuck on the m25 car-park! Thanks again for the parts chappie, was good to meet you and a shame to see such a beast of a zed seeing its final days :( ... just to let any1 know and to reassure, Chris is a top bloke, a very genuine seller. I have been selling loads of bits and bobs recently to buy some decent anti-roll bars in an attempt to make the zed semi trackable (a start to things to come) and give jimmy some company... Chris replied to my thread i put up asking for 2nd hand arbs only hours before i was going to commit to some new ones... he said he had some and was breaking the whole car... i looked at his rides spec... i bugged the …

Hello, How tricky is it to fit a Scarab bumber from Zcentre? It doesn't look like it has any fittings or bolt holes - and I'm not much of a bodyman... Cheers.

Hi got a bit of a problem, i have a 2 pod A pillar with Boost and Oil temp, very useful i hear you all shout..however, in the day, i cant see them..they have illumination that is on by default, when darkness falls, they are Brill, literally...but when day comes it a different story.

The thing is my zed a UK auto TT failed its MOT with a number of thing need sorting but theres two things I'm after and so called these parts are available from Nissan. I need two rear ball joints Nissan charge £43-£46 each and a link arm in drivers side wheel arch the one at the very top and Nissan charge £175which is a joke! Has anyone got any phone numbers or websites to get these sort of parts cheaper? I cant use the for sale part of this forum as I'm not a member. Any help would be great

i am planning on selling my car as i am moving to australia, however just wanted some advise as to not let my car go for next to nothing.. the Zed is completley standard except front bumper and tinted tail lights. has low milage, 70,000 odd and had a respray in blue. Very good runner etc no smoke knocks or rattles.... lots of service history and pics of the respray cambelt, aux belt , waterpump all recently replaced. this is not a sale thread as i know the rules and im not selling for a couple of months yet, but just after a rough estimate as to how much its worth please if possible. :D

Has anybody fitted these? Are they hard to do? How long does it take? Thanks, Dan

As anyone done this if so what happens with reg docs do you send them off as normal, will the new overseas owner recieve the update reg docs.

I'm curious to know what the original expected or proven stats are for a standard (factory) Zx TT? For instance (for manual and auto) 0~60Mph Mpg Top speed if unrestricted BHP etc etc Also the same expected specs for basic upgrades i.e. a zx TT with Induction kit, Performance exhaust, Chipped ecu and boost controller?

Theres an ebay tt zed on at mo. (again) with 195,000 miles+ £15k servicing!. Havent seen one with that many miles confessed to before, although did hear a tale about a 300,000 mile one. Any big miles zeds being used here? or known of?

my son has a volvo 340 1.7 (drift car :wack: :D) and he was wondering if he could fit the oil cooler from a zed onto it. from the breaker i have an oil cooler from a manual twin tubo. can he just simply cut the oil feed line in half and plumb the sides into the ends on the oil cooler? can it be done and if so how?
