Chris, what is a pcv. I have heard of it but cannot remember what it is/does. Cheers. Nick

apart from the likley hood of failing an mot, err bothered, im feeling the need to decat. For obvious reasons i want to get rid of my cats but after speaking to ryan at ztech and reading a thread in the tuning and mods part of the FAQ, i get the impression that they are the main cause of turbo failure, and the changing of PCV valves/ seals, cant remeber which is correct, can help prevent this happening WTF is a PCV valve/ seal???? :confused: Are they expensive to change/ check??? :confused: If, and thats a BIG IF, who sells them and how much. Ive had a quote of SUMO power and they want £284 +vat+p&p. which works out at £350 i think... is this a good quote?? alot of questions i know, but as far as i am concered, as with all cars including the zed, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!! Cheers Nick :mac1:

peeeenaaaas!!!!!!!!!!! send him my way and ill wrap my asp around his lordish toyota owning head.!!! not being funny def, surely we could find a better location, ie a pub with a huge car park...... and i got one in mind if your interested??? let me know nick

JRE there is a red zed near identical to mine on elvatham i think, i take it you live off reading road north then?

JRE: would be good, deffo after chrimbo, the zed is dead at the moment, probably anew set of heads, seals, tappets, blah blah blah c/o z-tech (there you are ryan, my first z-tech plug, thats got to be worth a voucher) and wont be back untill end of jan. we could go to the da haavant arms??? bubbles: it was you i saw, nice motor mate. you at the college at brams hill???

I'm after a new one mate. I don't want to take any risks. Cheers though. Anyone else got any suggestions

aaaaah. mike it did when we first fitted it, but as you said it was connected to the engine speed spin on the ecu, whicis 2 up from the spped. your prop right jeff, but its going to have to wait till the rads sorted cheers all nick

oh and the most important thing........PRICE cheers nick

you read about my zed yet. scared the living sh!t out of me, read the which rad thread. Cool how long you on leave for, and no doubt its well deserved

i dont know being a manual owner, but its probably a saftey feature being an auto. will it let you have they key out if its neutral and not park, just a suggestion anyway jonce long time no speak hows things???

Hey all, Well after nearly cooking my engine and warping the heads, which at this point in time everything seems ok, i discovered that the immeadiate loss of coolant causing the said near meltdown i need found a hole in my rad the size of a 50p piece, nice! :shock: Therefore i need a new rad so what are my options, ranging from bottom range basic nissan OE replace ment, to mid range ally rad to top notch koyo style jobbies. people experience with any would be appriciated. i need to make a choice asap as my zed is my daily runner, and im currently using a jag xjs v12 convertable or a 306 td. again...nice! :cry: anyway options and opinion wanted and needed. :rolleyes: cheers lads and ladettes nick :duffer:

bubbles were you going through hartley wintney just after 7 thiss evening, i think i might have seen you. pearly white with vey shiny alloys??? i was in a nearly invisible due to its commonality pug 306, due to the zed having overheated due to a hole in the rad. but i think it was you

just found out it isnt a hose, the bottom of the rad has a hole the sinze of a 50p piece. nice

I have to say they clean up better than mine. Blown a hose and overheated it. Should be sorted soon though

JRE you dont happen to live in phoenixs green in hartley whitney do you. if not where in fleet r u. would bee good to meet and chat zeds, even though mine is dead at the moment

its difficult to subscribe when your zed dies and is likely to cost more that i can afford. and that paypal blows. it still wont let me use my barclay card to pay!

not true my man, im old bill i should know. telecommunictions act, handy. go to your local station and let them know. give the number and they will be able to trace it. this happens all the time, and lots of people arent as switched on as you. but something would be done

i have, every thing i can put on it is on it, even spinners, yuck! iv run out of races on the map as well, im not doing to bad, ive just finished my third sponsership with NOS and am about to sign another. who with, who knows!

sounds good to me. we need to do more as a club. and if people fancied i could easily get magazine coverage from various mags---> redline, fast car, at a push banzai.

dude it rocks! but no 300zx. how god dam ****************************************************************************************************************************! excuse my language Has anyone got the skyline yet though? the quickest car ive got is the 350 with all level 2 performance stuff and a the odd level three bit, ecu and suspension i think. And i stil only have 6 stars. arse

question ive just fitted my blitz SBC-ID and powermeter, thanks to zedhot, but im having difficultys with the powermeter. it gives usefull stuff like speed, power, various timing stuff. on the speed side the speed digital screen seems to make accurate readings till about 70 then jumps around and hesitates. the next screen down from that is the power and speed screen which shows both in one screen. the speed on this is reading what my dash speedo reads, which is mile out as i think the converter is buggered eg shows im doing 120mph when im doing about 80. the result of this is it is totally messing up my power readings, apparently my max power is over 1000bhp. to add a real twist to this tale, i cant under stand why. the powermeter takes its reading directly off the vehicle speed pin on the ecu. i know its not a knackered sensor as its brand new. any ideas cause its really bugging me!!! cheers nick

just to add to all the grief a chap i know fom an old job is still critical after having a car Vs tree accident in his rx8. condolences to all. NOTE TO ALL: its christmas in 23 days and only 28 till next year, lets keep it sensible on the roads especially this time of year with the road conditions. RIP

i got nothing to do so im there! baggins check your voice mail mate. to the others see you there

get more money. falkens are poo. get toyos, eagle f1's or bridgestone potenza s -03's (which are my personal choice)

At just after midnight today a navy zed stopped and waved on the minley road roundabout and i was in a red zed heading toward the blackbush airpost. Just to say hello.
