i've recently had an engine fitted and i', now having electrical problems since the fitting, zedworld and zedcentre seem 2think the loom has being damaged in the process is there anyone in the middlesbrough area who knows what they are doin!!!. also having problems with abs, abs ecu indicates 9 lights (motor relay), i have changed relays on unit and also tested them and they are working fine so i then changed the unit and still getting nine lights on ecu, ive also tested the abs with a second abs ecu and that still states nine lights, any idea??????.

£20 for the first year, then £10 each time you renew after that, doesnt matter if you take a year or even two years out from resubbing, once the first sub is down, you resub at the lower price, see the club subscription page for more info http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?41-Club-Membership-and-Enquiries

hello vodkashots, payed via paypal but it didnt ask for name and address, tried to pm gary wilson but it wouldnt let me access that part of the site

Hello matey, welcome to the site.

Hello, did you by any chance get you engine fitted at a garage in thornaby? If so it was my mate (with the purple CRX) that fitted it. I kept on asking him to take some photo's of the cars but he didn't. But it is the rules to get some photo's up :whistling:

 

 

What sort of electrical problems are you having other than the abs?

aye thats me, he was telling me about you said u had a grey lwb, i completely stripped the donor car and scrapped the sashay (the bodywork was the shits. since bringing the car home and taking it out the garage its started cutting out, asked u mates boss about it and he said its the ecu(bullshit), ive rang all over the country and they seem 2think it will be a problem with the loom as maybe sumits maybe being damaged when removing the engine. i think my only option in the area is florrys ( ps i will sending the bill to 'e and a' fuming with them rang him and explained that car couldnt be drove back to garage and he wouldnt even cover the tow truck price. the car came back with the handbrake light on (duno how they managed that), marks to bodywork and this cutting out problem, havent being intouch with them 4 a while being in norway working but im very unhappy with the job even left a tip at the time even though it 4 times aslong as they said it would to fit. i'l have pictures up i just getting my subscription sorted

hi budd and welcome to the site im in staithes n yorks

see your having trouble with your zed

as ive continually posted before there is NO ONE up here id trust with my zed there all crap

no one seems to know much about them

I think Bob's right... weve all had our eyes out, Falcon in Middlesbrough conned me.. paid them and then did the job myself... I use evotune for a couple mechanical bits.. and Floreys for the electrical if I get stuck..

I can do some electricals but that would test me...

 

Is it worth buying a loom from somebody and replacing?

 

Regards the clutch, im not after big power so cannot decide.. Stock is good for 400bhp which is enough for me...

doing some research now, all views welcome

ano spirtley its a nightmare once its up and running its going straight down south for a full service and check over, put an exedy clutch in mine 'harby300' when engine was fitted which seems ok 'when car is running' (ps ive got a couple of cluthchs in the garage with about a months driving left on the flywheel! oj i would'nt sell them to my worst enemy!! i got a quote of falcon for engine fitting which was a giggle! i've being advised by a couple of people to go and see a bloke called tom harper in skippers lane inds estate 'boro', i've talked to him and he's rebuilt a few. he's on facebook if anyone wants to contact him.

Gaz said the loom you wanted to use wasn't in the best nic. should of bought a new one when you had the engine out. to be honest i would of had a few other new bits fitted if my engine was coming out. just from the amount of times my gear box has been out in the last two years.

 

I got a ridiculous quote from falcon for a det sensor replacement, it was laughable. If I ever need anything technical sorting I just take it to zedworld. Its not too bad a drive if the weathers nice. and definitely worth it.

 

Gaz has always said his boss is a bit of a nightmare, but i suppose he's one of the few places in the area that would take on a job like that.

Hope you get it sorted soon anyway bud.

cant understand understand why they wouldnt tell me of the loom being in poor condition he sent me out in a car which shut down while driving at 30mph it had no brakes and steering locked up i had2 hit the hand brake on just 2stop the car, thats why i think they are just bullshitters and not worthy of their jobs, the cars going to someone that knows what they are doin and they will be paying the bill

wouldnt take mine anywhere near skippers lane jeffs rebuilt THOUSANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why do i feel like a parrot? on this subject

who's jeff, the reason i mentioned tom harper in skippers lane is that its going to have to be towed locally and just incase anyone else is in the same situation, y parrot! haha

sorry budd thought you read the forum Jeff (ZEDWORLD)

and parrot

because eventually you get sick of repeating yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, listen to the parrot....

 

you said the people who put the engine in damaged the wiring and now you are taking it to someone else who isn't a Zed specialist.....

 

Mmmm, just wondering how long it will be before it gets to Zedworld.

 

No, really, good luck and hope you get it sorted locally, but make sure that are familiar with these cars and can prove it... :)

cheers buddy thanks for the vote of confidence

this guy is not the only one from the n/ e whos car has eventually ended up with Jeff oops! sorry Zedworld
