Whats the most unique Mod you've done to the zed ?
Very nice looks very professional and smart. Any details of where you got your fake suede ?. ** note - if you post details I doubt it will stay unique for long :) **

Sounds like an Aviary under my bonnet!!!
You've probably blown off a loose hose somewhere or had a pin hole that has forced open under pressure. As already mentioned boost leak test is probably your only option.

how does this work then...
I'd like to see them back off the truck at 55mph :)

What Calipers Fit
R33 GTR brakes will fit but you will need to modify slightly and also you may need wheel spacers and longer bolts depending on your offset. R33 GTR Brembo's push the 35 offset out to 40. I don't think there are many sets around that are instant fit. All calipers from other cars may require slight modification. Just remember the more pots you have the better the braking (usually)

You got any more pics of your car or a link to them and the spec etc, it looks real nice and wouldn't mind seeing some more of it.

boost guage fitting
You can go through the firewall via the bonnet release if you don't fancy drilling or making any more holes. The hole should be have a grommet whihc you may just need to slit a little wider. I've run a boost gauge wires and boost controller through there without any problems.

B&Q numpties
In every group of friends there's always one that is a little slower than the rest and is always the brunt of the banter. We had a friend called Terry he wasn't in the queue when they were dishing out common sense. He used to work in B&Q, so we would go in there now and again with other mates that he didn't know and get them to go ask for stupid non existant items like tartan paint, skirting board ladders, rubber nails, glass hammers etc etc. it was just hilarious watching them from round the ailse as Terry would take our friend over to the paint section and start looking around for the tartan paint's. He's a top bloke old Terry, been a friend of mine for over 20 years, wouldn't change him for the world, but the stories that involve him just go on and on, if it wasn't for him, when meeting up with the old crowd we'd have nothing to talk about.

Wii Console
I bought one in october 07 for about £220. Got a bundle of games with it and 2 controllers and nunchucks. Finished Resident Eveil 4, played WII sports and big brain academy and got bored stupid with it after about a month. Was good for new people who came round but thought I would rather prefer a X box 360 or something, Wife agreed and when the Wii was sold out just before christmas I saw an opening and sold it for £450. Double the price that's why they call me terry tibbs.

turbos
Manual and auto turbo's are different sizes, auto's are smaller to allow quicker spool up.

Just changed pcv's
LOL you know if you change the tubs and down pipes and it was the hoses that you haven't changed, you are still going to have the same problem :S
-
Just changed pcv's
Hi mate, did you change the back pcv pipe as well, it runs along the back of the engine towards the windscreen. Worth trying before you think about changing the tubs. But if you do decide to change the tubs for 530bb's then yes 555's would be your best option. The stock injectors max out around 14.5 psi. The stock turbo's are good for 16 psi. So putting bigger turbo's on and keeping stock injectors makes no sense really. In terms of other mods... If you are going with 530bb's then they are 5 stud, stock tubs are 4 stud, so you will need new downpipes for a start. If you are running stock cooling, then yes I would suggest upgrading the intercoolers and Radiator. Apart from that and unless you want to start spending a bit more money that will see you good. Personally with my jwt530bb's I also upgraded to the following: Nismo 555's Weisco 98mm forged pistons Gred Dupree Manifolds Greg Dupree Down pipes Gred Dupree Flexi pipes Greddy SMIC's Howe Rad Nismo oil cooler Doolz Twin Pop Induction Electric Fan Lightweight underdrive pulley 1 piece carbon driveshaft RPS max street clutch Billet lightweight flywheel

paul bailey rear spoiler ???
Mine is the exact same spoiler as Mac's Although I believe Mac also has a standard fiber glass spoiler under his. The hardest thing about fitting these spoilers is getting them straight and by straight I mean the sides should line up with the tailgate line. Sometimes copies of these spoilers are not straight so when you fit them the top of the spoiler is at a different angle. Mine

All Parents, give your kids a hug, no matter what they arent this evil
It's call tax evasion. Why should we pay tax on money we have already paid tax on ? You get paid, tax is taken out, you save up the money you don;t spend form what you earn and they tax it again. One of my mates is a cab driver, he's saved £75k over the last 5 - 6 years and none of it is in a bank.

strange electrical hitch
I'll take the the rear seats out and the rear quarter panels and have a fiddle to see if I can duplicate the problem.
-
strange electrical hitch
Now and then when I go around a right hand corner, I hear a little click or multple clicks from what sounds like the rear passenger seat or quarter pannel. When I hear these click the interior light flicks on quickly for each of the clicks. WTF could it be ?
-
still bloody misfiring
ok where are you based mate, this may help as someone may be near you that some come over and take a look. Might be worth getting it to cough and splutter, then pull over and unplug one coil pack at a time to see if the tone of the engine changes.
