Cat?
Being a turbo'd car yes, can be very noticeable on acceleration mate. smithy

Help, car won't start.
Assuming the lack of dash lights is connected to the non starting issue and no codes are shown on the ECU check, you should be able to forget all the usual suspects like PTU, CAS and Temp sensor and start looking at some of the big relays, think there's one called IGN Control? possibly Blue. Other than getting it to a garage somehow, the relays has gotta be the next thing. Aint snapped the belt have yer? smithy

Help, car won't start.
If it's throwing a lot of fuel then chances are it's simply flooded, which ain't hard to do on a Zed if theres corrosion on the temp sensor. Drivers side in the engine bay next to firewall is a small fuse box, pull out he plug for the fuel pump, try starting the car, after about 5 trys it should fire up if flooded. If it seems to be better at trying but not quite making it, whip out the 1st 4 plugs that are easy to get to and dry them out, start car again and should be okay. Failing all the above, do an ECU diagnostic check. smithy

Cylinderhead referb
So that's 40 quid a head, about an hours work? so either a bargain or quarter of a job. Seeing as he's a mate, I hope it's not the latter........... smithy

Cylinderhead referb
500 bucks for a pair heads fully done with new parts sounds fair to me tbh. Headgasket from Nissan i think are around 25-30 quid each, so 60 quid max plus vat for the 2. smithy

jap engine into uk car?
In the engine not really and certainly nothing you would notice as a novice. ECU wise again very minor and nothing that would stop it starting and running, so best do a quick diagnostic and see what codes your getting. smithy

cazracing
Yep years ago when Caz first started in business I supplied her many products and then Danny did thereafter me. She's got a good name for herself on the Aussie forums and if anything on her site is off interest, i'd reccommend purchasing from her. smithy

need your help people
Pretty much all the candy colours are nice, Lukes is well cool. They nearly all use a silver base though and if you've the money and fancy going 1 step further, use a chrome base, it's ubber sexy and the candy can become a chrome red or black or blue etc. The body shop doing yours won't have used this system as very few have and the paint is imported, plus it means spraying gloss black, then chrome then the top coat which is actually a coloured laquer, but if you fancy something unique, it's the way to go :-) smithy

550cc plus injector needed within the week...
Seeing as Silverbullet can get yer car mapped with what ever injectors and Jimmer having an adapter kit, you really do have a choice of which ones to go for. Sard are perfectly fine and they make many good products, however being second hand IMO you should have them flow tested etc. But for easiness and a gaurantee if failure, i'd go new ones and probably the cheaper Nismo 740's, if it was me :yes: smithy

550cc plus injector needed within the week...
Also the Sard's listed by Craig am 99.9% certain will also need fuel rails or adapter kit. You can always check with the seller tho. As said, sometimes just bite the bullet and wap the known branded Nismo's in with no adapater kit needed. smithy
