ok i,m getting a strange noise only when on boost it sounds a bit like a loud resonating sound or if you say who in a loud deep voice , it only happens when boosting so doubt it the zaust rubbing on something and only lasts a few secs then goes away and doesnt do it in safety boost any ideas

i am getting det aswell mate at 1 bar along with pinking have been advised to add octane booster as my mines ecu is proberly mapped for 102 ron and has an agressive ignition map, might not solve your problem tho as i recon andy chips will be mapped for uk fuel but in this warmer weather might be worth uping it 1 point i may change my ecu for one of andys was going to phone him to discus it but have deleted the pm he sent me with his number on wink wink

yea it was warm but not that hot about 18-20c in fact there was a shower not long before it happened , i did put in 20 quids of bp ultimate to get me home as petrol gauge was just above the empty, i normally use v power another thing i noticed ,i just fitted a set of autogauge boost,oil, and water temp , the water temp is showing 70c when driving and 80c when sitting at idle does this seem a little cooler than its suppose to be ,maby the prevous owner had a cooler thermastat fitted??

ok after sorting my boost pipe probs took car for a long run today approx 280miles up through the highlands and glens with the company of another zed,3 supras and a lexus running a mixture of a road cruising and b road ragging and open road lunacy near the end of the run i was noticing what sounded like low level pinking when in overdrive low rev just feathering throttle, then when flooed to overtake a coach got loud pinking which i am assuming is det but zed didnt go into safety mode and continued to boost as normal, zed has a mines ecu, hks mushroom, decatt (although has 4 silencers then the back boxes) running at 1 bar of boost ,any thoughts on this could it be possible that a colder grade of plugs is needed

look on the bright side you,ve now got a pocket full of cash go and buy another one simple :dance::dance:

iv a toad alarm and ifi press the lock button twice (i think) it disables the interior sensors so the alarm doesnt keep going off every 30 seconds when parked with the roof off hth

fitted mig tips last week and found no differance in performance so when car was in garage to try and locate a small oil leak, removed intake a turbo hoses to find the boost seliniod had been bypassed , recon when car was in japan an electronic bc must have been fitted and then removed at aution but pipework not put back the way it should, so it seems the zed s only been running on manifold pressure, found pipework running in front of rad the passanger intake and round back of block so we just removed all the pipework threw it over our shoulders and started again with the help of a borrowed manual (thanks ttam) and some advice from the great duffman himself(many thanks) eventualy got it all in place, fitted an oil sandich plate for my new oil gauge cut a big hole in me dash to fit a z centre gauge pod, removed my pods and sent them to groover changed my clocks to uk ones , fitted a water adapter for my temp gauge , fired her up and oil pissed out of the sandwich plate water pissed out of the water adapter noticed that the rev needle was at 5 o,clock (needle must of stuck there when cluster was upside down) , so we binned the sandwich plate and refitted sensor to replace stock sensor changed jubilee clips on water adapter to real jubilee clips remove cluster again and flicked back over rev needle, to car out to test run and it hit 1.3 bar had det and safety boost (put in .6mm tips in instead of .8mm) replaced mig tips cleared ecu rerun and still safety boost at 1 bar checked for error codes and none re run again and safety again checked ecu turned potentiameter to mid till red light stays on problem solved no more safety boost (strange one that) had car sitting outside of workshop next to perth harbour when a they start unloading grain from a cargo ship with the wind blowing towards the car so guess wat, the car gets covered in about an inch of dust ahhhhhh anyway now the zeds running 1 bar of boost i,v got an accurate set of water oil and boost gauges fitted to a nice dash pod my pods and cluster are now in led blue (great job groover) i now know how fast im driving in mph, a new set of front tension rod bushes and new front brake brake pads , so all that remains to do is to go get zed washed and have a few :duffer::duffer: but many thanks to the duffman for his wisdom, ttam for his manual(promise i,ll return it:D),groover for doing such a good job with the pod led,d, to bruce for offering to bring his zed up to let my mechanic take to pieces and to mike from mjp for faxing up diagrams i owe you all a few :duffer::duffer: WHAT A WEEK EH!!!!!

dont you mean a manual to auto conversion:tongue:

if its the left hand side one ,yellow i think then there about 25 quid from mjp in the traders section

dont car covers cause condensation on the inside of the car

all zedz run on unleaded the only differance with the jap models is their ecu is set up to run on 100 ron fuel but you can run it on shell vpower which is 99 ron with no problems so you do not need to change chip unless you want to upgrade performance /boost etc hth

oh weres me tent then:rofl::rofl:

get him to phone allan at tan hill and he will book him in the staff room with tom mckay (£20 including breaky) 2 more beds left then
