Where will I get one if it's chipless ? Gonna look in morning...

hmmmmm well theres no stickers on, might have a look inside!!

Hi guys was wondering if theres any way i can check to c if my zeds chipped, ie is the ecu sealed, is it something i could do or would it need to be sent somewhere, and if i could ge into ecu would it be obvious if it had a "chip" in??

Ahhh of course tango= orange getting late doh

Thanks m8, but whats de tango mean??????

I never tire of looking at mine, i cant help looking back down the drive at it for one last look before i go in (sad eh lol).............just added my rides pics, so i can look each time im on here toooo

Was droppin a pal off today and we got chatting about me zed, it was sat at side of road gleaming as we drove off past it, he said that it was a lovely example of one and asked if it was running good still etc , blah blah etc, any way we got a few miles farther on and a new audi a5 coupe thing with huge wheels pulled out and i said that it looked nice, he agreed but went on to say that he preferred my cars looks, and that that audi would not age as well as the zed, and i totally totally agree.......we then got on to the fact that the first time we ever saw a zed we were blown away by the looks, and could both vividly remember the time and place where we first saw one, surely not many cars can do that, especially considering its about 20 yrs ago, first one i seen was red, it was nightime, had a very short priv plate on, and accelerated away faster than id ever seen a car accelerate, i was astounded, Can anyone else remember first seeing them, it was quite special back when they were new........???

Ha Ha nice one, im pig sick of hearing about it??

no No no NO................ these are people taking the pi@@ ?? surely?? if you look closely you can almost see the teers dropping from the head lights..............

Your gonna have to drive to that ravine, climb down and rescue his original then!!! unless someone else has one lol

Have we heard anything back from the beeb yet?? its a cracking idea, was v funny when the piano dropped on the marina tho

It's a nice thing for £1500 quid mind

Pornographers car !

ha ha rofl, mint

Now everyones gonna think were cheapskate, dole waller, under achievers who pretend our cars are lambos, and that their only worth 2k, with bad tickovers dodgy electrics, and bust turbos Ha Ha

Hi i had an na manual for my first z and it was hideously quick, should annhialate your 280 merc, so somethings wrong dood, welcome

I am one happy guy, timing belt was a tooth out to the crank, measured 60 teeth instead of 59, all the pulleys were fine so it was a matter ofreleasing the tensioner and turning the crank a notch, and OH MY F@@KIN G@D what a difference, its like a bullet, amazed, thanks for the replies guys and thanks to jefftt for taking the time to help over the phone today.......

Timing was 15 btdc had it on conzult but to be honest didn't have a clue how to use it lol, ecu shows no error codes and it was 0 to 60 ha ha ha she ain't no dragster I'm afraid, that's tickled me that like , is there a section to show how to check timing on here ? I feel that could be it, as the guy before I had it put his own cambelt on it just before I got it !!

my z is seriously slow, timed it on stopwatch tonight over 3 runs, best i got was 9.3 then 9.7 then 9.8, not in that order tho, its also pap on fuel, i get about 45 miles on 20 quid, it runs smooth as silk and is quiet as a mouse, shows all clear on the ecu diag, and shows plenty boost pressure on the aftermarket guage, there is no smoke whatsoever at all no matter how long it ticks over, or how hard you accellerate!! i realise autos are gonna be a bit less fuel eficient/slower etc but ive had five of these cars and this is definately the slowest by far, so what do i do??? do i take it to jeff ( 300 miles away, fuel will cost me fortune) or do i give it to nissan, or does anyone round here(newcastle upon tyne) know these cars well enough to find the prob as its spoiling a stunning car??? any help would be apreciated cheers

Well we got it running again today, turned out to be same as yours mikey!!! injector connectors were furry and green,cleaned up with elec sprayand its sweet as a nut again, bit more poke with new plugs too, tho still feels sluggish, but im over the moon with it running again yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhaaaaaa!! cheers guys

I will mate, i was gonna try and get to it today and have a go to sort it out but i got stuck at work, any luck with yours??

Yes the 0 rings are fine, a bit flat but still in position, thanks m8

Do i need to remove anything first to get at the injector cons? they look well awkward and the clip looks like its underneath ? jesus what a mare, just checked balance bar and its ok, will be on again with it in the morning cheers jeff i will no doubt be back on the morra, wish you were nearer you could have had the fun LOL

NGK pfr6b -11c and its no different with old plugs back in either so not that simple im afraid

I thought id treat it to new plugs, as looked old sooty and tired, removed plugs inserted new ones, started it and it ran but there were flicking tick tick noises, like the noise you woul hear on a ht lead that was shorting out but no sparks to be seen or anything so iturned it off, i checked as best i could nothing was out of place or wrong, all seemed ok, so started it again and was running on 3 cylinders, and engine sounded weird, then it dropped to 2 cyls i wiggled the wiring loom that supplies the coils and injectors and it went to 3/4 cyls then dropped to maybe one then chucked it and now wont start at all HELP! ive tried another ptu, no good, mines a series 2 anyway, and its giving code 21, ignition signal circuit?? does this mean the wiring loom is wrecked or is it something else, dont think i disturbed the inj connectors?, at anytime, ive reset ecu, no good what the heck do i do now ??? aaaarghh it ran like a swiss watch before i changed plugs mega quiet and smooth and looks brand new under bonnet nothing outta place and nothing ever visibly faffed on with??
