ZXTT

I prefer the JDM version (but I am biased).....and of course the ONLY colour driven by true Zed owners is.....SILVER(!):whistling:

Steams you are the best!...thanks...the PTU connector had popped off at one end...all sorted. Thanks so much.

Just did the screwdriver test and the injector appears to be pulsing the same as the others...

You're right on the coil pack resistance...checked it again and it's reading 0.9 Ohms (my mistake). Will check the injectors pulsing and post again. Thanks.

OK...any sugguestions would be gratefully recieved... Please bear in mind I am not a mechanic or a technical expert. As I look at the engine, the middle cylinder on the left hand bank is not firing. So far I have... Swapped coil packs around and the same cylinder still doesn't fire. Swapped spark plugs around and the fault remains on the same cylinder Tested the resistance on the injector..it's 12.7 Ohms Tested the resistance on the coil pack..it's 0.7 Ohms Tested the voltage on the injector feed...it's 13.34 Volts Tested the voltage on the coil pack feed...it's 14.06 Volts (The coil pack connectors are brand new) The engine was replaced a couple of weeks ago and has been running like a dream until today. Any ideas would be very welcome... Thanks in anticipation...

Top work...I am no mechanic but since I got my Zed nearly two years ago I have learnt so much. I haven't attempted anything like an engine change myself but I have tried stuff that's way out of my comfort zone and when it works it's great. Many congratulations..enjoy!

What a great thread...my contribution is... Peter Walker - Inventor of the Quad ESL Loudspeaker (everyone thought he would never succeed and through complete belief over many years, he did...and what a sound!) The Head of Design for the Z32 - I want to understand everything about bringing our stunning cars from paper to production Lara Croft - For obvious reasons

If nothing else has changed apart from the wheels, I would start by checking that the wheels/tyres are not catching on anything in the arches. Check the side that it's pulling towards first. In addition, sometimes new wheels need spacers to stop them touching the brake calipers or suspension parts. On the subject of alignment...I have just had my Zed aligned on a brand new Hunters machine at our local tyre fitters and what a difference! It cost around £90 for all four wheels to be re-balanced and all 4 wheels aligned when back on the car. It now grips very well and feels really planted. Well worth the money. Hope this helps...

How are you getting on? I am going to attempt the same thing this weekend, so I am keen to know!

Good spot Jeff, I didn't notice the "old" oil bit...

What a fastastic achievement, stunning looking Zed. Hope to see it at the JAE.

All good advice. I bought about 20 crush washers from Nissan at something like 50p each and I use a new one on every 3K oil change. The other thing I invested in was a very strong magnetic sump plug from Driftworks...it's scary the first time you use it and see how much gets stuck to it! I think the sump plug was a one-off investment of around £12and well worth it in my opinion. Good luck, after the first couple of changes you will be completely confident.

Jeff, please pass on our congratulations to Jamie and Clare, what fantastic news! Best regards, Andrew....PS now Jamie has had his paternity leave...can you get him back in so he can finish my brakes?! :lol::lol:

Possibly me...I was dropping my older two kids back to South Woodham and came up the A12 from the M25 at around 7pm. It's funny, I did around 250 miles yeaterday visiting relatives and dropping kids off etc and I was wondering if I would be spotted!

There's no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to Zed's IMHO Sir. Funny you should say that, it was one of the first things I checked...just in case!

Thanks everyone...I had a feeling that it maybe the brake related, however I discounted that because it didn't just happen when I braked. ZedWorld know my car well, I will get it to them as soon as possible, brakes are one thing I am not going to mess about with. Have a great Easter all.

This is baffling me (especially with my limited knowledge of mechanics). At all different speeds I am getting quite a severe shudder through the steering wheel. The lowest speed I have experienced it is 29mph and the highest at around 80mph. To give you some background I have already replaced the following with poly bushes... Tension Rod Bushes Steering Rack Bushes (which was fun!) Anti-Roll Bar Bushes I am also running brand new alloys with brand new Falken's all fully balanced. I also think that the tracking is OK as my previous set of tyres had very even wear. Disks and pads look fine and all other bushes (as far as I can tell) look fine. I can not find any trend for when the shuddering starts, it will creep up from any speed at any time. There's no trend with engine revs, heavy cornering or heavy breaking and the handling seems spot on. However if I brake when the steering is shuddering, the vibration gets extremely severe (to the point of scary!). One thing I did notice was that after a recent trip out, the left hand front wheel was hotter than the right, however the car still breaks in a straight line OK. Thanks for reading, any help or advice will be gratefully recieved as I use the car daily and need to get it resolved.

Just checked mine....oops...the inside quarter of both my rears has hardly any tread left! I will get them replaced asap. Excuse my lack of knowledge...but does this mean something needs adjusting and if so how?

In addition to the Zed, we have a Megane 1.9dci turbo diesel as a family car. It's comfortable with a pretty good ride and quite happily does 45+ to the gallon on a run and 40 on short journeys. It's a 2004 and we bought it for £3000 about a year ago. They seem to be readily available and I guess now priced around your budget. Best of luck.

We have always stuck with BT since trying NTL a few years ago! I run our business from offices at home and I have always found BT bomb proof as far as service reliability. They are not the cheapest and in my opinion once you are set up the service works consistantly well every day. Could do with more Broadband speed, but that's down the the capacity of the digital exchange in our village. Personally, I would stick with BT.

Fantastic Z and great photos. The car and it's colour looks really good against the buildings in the background. Top work!

Spooky...I started a similar thing this weekend. So far I have wrapped my rear spoiler and done the small black metal pieces up the windscreen and across the targa's. Having seen yours I think I will also do the bits of bodywork along the roof line too. I have never done this sort of thing before and struggled a bit with the spoiler but it looks a lot better than it did! For anyone thinking about doing it, with a bit of patience you can get a really good look. I got my Carbon Fibre vinyl from http://www.carbonmods.co.uk. Top work sir!

Saw you parked near the bank, gave you a wave but it looked like you were on the phone..

Hi, I had a similar thing when I first bought my jap spec TT. Jeff at ZedWorld found a monumental vaccum leak and as soon as it was fixed the gauge now reads a healthy -7 on idle and +7 when boosting. Hope this helps.

Hi, We are just about to in 2011. My eldest son Charlie (14) has passed his competition licence for Rotax Karting. Your eight year old daughter can start in MiniMax Karts and start with an experience day to give her a feel for it. We used ProTrain who are excellent, they will give her some coaching and provide her with the Kart and all the gear for the day. It would mean a trip to Whilton Mill in Northamptonshire, but I am sure there would be other locations nearer Doncaster offering a similar thing. Here is the link to ProTrain so at least you can get a feel for what's out there. http://www.karttraining.co.uk/ Best of luck.
