Hi Guys, When I was at college studying cars my lecturers :bow: favourite thing to point out was that "the power of an engine is determined by how much air you can get in and out in a predetermined time". Therefore you have to presume that 2 is better than one as you have more capacity to get the air out. Hence why performance exhaust are usually a larger bore than standard ones. That said you do need a certain amount of back pressure but for me 2 is the way to go to get more power. Hope this makes sense. Zedhot

Morning all if you are just looking to build the base unit then £300 should get most of the bits you need. As your not really into gaming you don't need a great graphics card and you can always upgrade that at a later date if you ever wanted to as long as you get a decent motherboard. http://www.overclockers.co.uk are great for build hi end systems for playing games but probabely over the top for what you are after. http://www.komputerkrazy.com are good. one of the cheapest i've used is http://www.ebuyer.com go for an AMD64 if you can IMO. If you have a dvd writer then use your existing one and get a newer one at a later date.(they are only £40ish now anyway) One last thing is try to go for branded memory as I have found that generic is usually not as stable.

Thanks guys, I've not had any quotes yet but i'm sure it won't be cheap. the other thing about repairing the car is that there are other things that need doing to make the car look as good as a Zed really should. For example the spoiler is an original and is wet inside so need replacing and the rear lights are cracking around the edges. I also need another boost controller as I sold mine to a forum member after I took the Zed of the road. once I add all this to the repair costs for the damage it starts to add right up. I have seen a lot of nice cars owned by guys on the forum for sale recently for around £4500 and I'm thinking I should just give this one up as a bad job and buy one from someone of the forum who is selling theirs. How much should I be looking to get for the engine and turbo's and how much for a SE fast road rebuild auto box that has hardly been used?? Cheerz guys Si

Hi Guys, Had an accident in the Zed about 18months ago due to a fox and a slippery road!!! :mad: :headvswal The dilema now is do I try to fix her up or break it up and use my money to buy a new one. The car spec is as follows: 1990 Uk TT SE Nissan fast road rebuild auto box that has only covered about 2000 miles and an uprated oil cooler. Hybrid turbo's fitted just after the rebuild box. Performance air filter Performance exhaust including decat pipes. JWT Chip Standard bodywork and wheels. The damage is all on the OS but includes the front bumper, front wing, door and quite a bad dent in the rear quarter. Other things that could do with doing are the sills. My main concern is how much it will cost for the rear quarter as I don't want to spend loads of money having it sorted when I could have bought another Zed for the same money. Mechanically the car is sound but it's just the bodywork :smash: that is a concern. It still runs and drives fine. Has anyone had the rear quarter replaced and if so how much did it cost??? Cheerz Si :duffer:

Hi I went Sidari twice last year and really enjoyed it. You find that people who go there once often go back again. The only real problem you find is the people trying to sell you flowers on the street especially if you are a couple. A woman will try to give you a flower and when you pay for it their kid will watch where you keep your money and then they will try to pick pocket you. just say no to the flower ladies and don't take one when they keep offering. Oh yeah and don't get a black henna tattoo done (they do them on the main street) as most people have a reaction to the chemicals they use and it burns your skin like this: http://reverndbunny.sphosting.com/ppdburns.html Have a great time mate and be sure to go in the bar next to the supermarket. it's run by a scotish lady and it's really friendly. Your a lucky man Zedhot

sorry bout that mate. hope it gets sorted quickly

in eyres monsell area. I am around town quite a bit

The white one with headlight panel could be me. it's this one http://www.zcentre.co.uk/hlpanels/zc001b.htm from the Zed centre with blue lights in each vent.

Does your pc recognise the drive as a cdrw drice or just a cd drive?? Si

Could be the fuel pump. Can you hear it with just the ignition on or do you have to have it running to hear it? Si

i'm in eyres monsell. how about you?

Leicester appears to be becoming the Zed capital of the Uk at the moment. Keep seeing all these threads about zed's spotted in leicester. Zedhot

Hi, I've got a Magicar alarm http://www.magicar.com from http://www.evolutionelectronics.com It's really cool with loads of features. Whichever you go for get one with auto start as it is really funny watching people stop and stare as the car starts when no-one is in it. Zedhot

the misfire was apparent throught the whole rev range.
