Hi Alex, yes, just the one tip im afraid.

They are the standard wheel nuts chap, so yes 19mm.

Car cover and undertray sold, everything else still up for grabs. Open to offers

Airbox,number plate mount and plenum all sort. Everything else still up for grabs. Open to offers

What is the external diameter of the part it bolts to?

Plenum is sold, Car cover is sold pending payment, numberplate holder is sold pending payment as is the airbox

They are DE yes, sorry i forgot to state that in the advert

Got some more bits to add for sale after my beloved Zed went to its new owner.

All based in Milton Keynes, and prices are for collection. P&P is at buyers cost.

First up, an individual Invidia Rolled tip exhaust finisher. I ended up having to buy another pair as i 'lost' one. These are not cheap to buy, and generally only come in pairs. Spent a fair while glatting and polishing this, so its pretty shiny. £50

Original DE airbox, with original Nissan filter. Filter looks hardly used, and the box itself is in good condition, no cracks etc. Great if you want to do the Rev Up mod to it, or you want to return to stock. £25

Original DE intake pipe. Does not come with the MAF im afraid, but in good condition. £15

Pair of stock tail lights. Should have put these back on my Zed and sold the Facelift ones on their own. Dont be a fool like me, buy these! All working with bulbs etc. One locating lug is snapped, but does not affect fitment, if anything, it aids it. £70 the pair

Drivers side window switch. All present and correct, full working order. £40

If you fancy a change or have lost an existing one, have a Zed badge to replace the burger Nissan ones.

Got it from the US at great cost. Has a slight mark at the bottom, which iv taken a photo of. £25

Have a front axle set of DS2500 pads for the Brembo calipers. Only changed as fitted brand new with new discs. Plenty of meat on them, atleast one track day if not more. £30

What I believe to be standard front reflectors. Great if you wanted to put LED's in or play around with them.

Never got around to fitting this Kinetix plenum. I modified it to remove the large Kinetix script on the top, and smoothed out as best i could all the large join lines on the inside face to improve airflow. Has been painted in cackle finish black paint. Just needs a gasket to mount to the top of the engine. If you dont know about these they are pretty rare, and they do the job of a plenum spacer, as well as looking alot better, as well as having the clearance for the strut brace. £100

Standard Dual Mass Flywheel. Came out my car at 55k, and has been in storage since. £50

Standard front number plate holder. £10

Full set of standard wheel nuts with locking wheel nuts and key. Comes with the extra nuts never fitted. £15

Standard front splitter/deflector. Not perfect but perfectly usable. £25

Never got round to fitting this. Its a Cookbot wingmirror mod to get the wing mirrors to retract when you lock the car. Fitting instructions are on the site i believe. £20

PM's now sorted, id maxed out my allowance.

Now my Zed has sadly departed, i have a few bits that i gathered over the years.

All parts are based in Milton Keynes, with collection prefered, but can post at buyers cost. Prices are +P+P

Fitted 350Z car outdoor car cover. Used this about 5 times if that over the 5 years i had it. Mint condition, no holes or rips. Always dry stored in a sealed bag when not in use

£100

Rear Blind, mounts to the bootlid to stop people seeing what is in your boot. £40

Set of Original 18" Rays alloys. Took off my car when i got my 19's

Not perfect, with some very light kerbing to them, and some bubbles and the odd small mark. Clean up really well, but if you wanted them perfect you would need a refurb. Forget the tyres, the rears have almost 0 tread, and the fronts are unevenly worn. £350

Set of original suspension, springs and dampers. I do have the rear spring cones also, but forgot to put them in the picture. Came off my car at 60k, replaced by Meister R coilovers

£50

W Brace- bought as i was going to get it powder coated and put on my car, but never got round to it. Came from America originally, and in very good condition, with only some light surface rust, nothing a sandblast wouldnt fix.. Dont believe these come up very often. £200

Standard ARB's- came off my car as were replaced by Eibach Adjustables.

£20 each or £30 the pair

Original undertray. In really good condition, a few light marks, but not rips etc.

£30

Original Y pipe. Never had this fitted to my car, as had an uprated one when i bought it. Looks in good condition with the exception of some surface rust, as to be expected as it lives under the car. £50

Fitted a 48L Pro Alloy tank over the winter. These are baffled alot better than the standard 38L tank, so makes track driving alot better from the fuel starvation point of view, and give you more range. Not cheap to buy, but well worth it.

Roof on is a pain, roof off is simples. Once you are in and strapped up, its a great drive. That Harrop one would be a beast, lots of cash spent on it, and well worth 14k. Stage 2 SC cars are about 12ish, and that has had well over 2k extra spent on it.

Heaters are pretty crap as standard, though you will find some cars have a 'Fez' heater, which were built buy a guy to deliver propper heat.

Iv got a VX220, and love it. There is nothing quite like driving with a roof off. There is no such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong attire.

I do indeed have a SC VX, 240ish hp, Nitrons, 4pots, Milltek Exhaust. Amazing fun. Rebuilt mine mechanically over the winter, and very easy cars to work on, which is why i bought it. For pure driving pleasure, you will be hard pushed to find something that fast, and that involved for the money.

Clutches are abit of a pain to change, though last well. Being the 2.2 Ecotec, the engines are pretty bullet proof, though dont go much beyond 240-250hp without expecting the engine to fail. There are a few SC'd cars that come up for sale, but you maybe better buying a standard car, and playing with it yourself. There are a few people around that can SC them for you pretty cheap if you wanted to go down that route, or have a go yourself if your pretty handy. VX220.org is a really good forum, with some knowledgible people on there. Dont expect the same build quality as you get from a Zed, they are at different ends of the spectrum, you will probably play hunt the rattle at various points in your ownership. lol

Very sensitive cars to geo and set up, tyre pressures etc. Steering racks dont tend to last for ever, you can get them rebuilt, or buy brand new ones, both standard, and quick ratio, but they are £400+.

There is an issue with the rear subframe (steel), where it meets the back of the chassis (Ally). Basically, there is a steel shim in there, and that holds water, and you get galvanic corrosion, sometimes are worse than others, but its worth doing at some point if its not already been done. You will find some cars are Cat C-D, and mostly that is because the car had damaged clam shells, which make up the front and rear bodywork. These were very expensive when available, so wrote the car off with only some comestic damage to the fibreglass. Coldel was great with helping me buy mine.

Great car you have there Luis. Lol

I am heart broken still yes, but glad that it is going to be used, and not be a driveway ornament. It takes some getting used to, its not exactly a Fiesta to drive, but smiles per mile is amazing, and when it all flows it feels so good, and you have that noise to go with it.

Not as much as i should have, but its my own fault. Lol

Provisionally sold. Gutted aint the word

After some feedback, iv altered the price to reflect the current market, and condition. I still think this is a great car for the money, and il honour the original price to the 2 guys that have contacted me about it.

I was hoping for closer on 7k to be honest, but looking at some standard cars that have sold recently, i feel that its a good price, and realistic.

How much do you think i should have put it up for?

Wow what an amazing deal for someone on here!

 

GLWTS

Thought id price it realistically, maybe should have started a little higher. Someone will be getting a great Zed though, still cant believe i hit send on the advert to be honest, but 3 cars is a little excessive.

Well, it is with a very heavy heart, but the Zed needs a new home. It hardly gets driven now i have the VX220, and its time that it goes to someone that is going to use it. Iv owned the car since August 2010, and it has always been my pride and joy, and to be honest, still is. The VX is a weapon, but I took the Zed out yesterday for its MOT (Rear fog bulb colour caused it to fail, but this will be replaced ASAP), and the feel good factor was incredible, it will be missed, probably more than I currently realise

It is a 54 plate GT, with some mod's made throughout the years of ownership to help that smile factor.

Being honest, its not perfect, but its 12 years old, and if i wasnt so busy, and was not selling, id get the work sorted myself Unfortunately, my life is stupidly busy, and time is always at a premium. My daily driver is the Juke, with a VX220 for summer fun, and the wifes Leon Cupra R, the Zed has been SORN since October last year, as I didnt want to drive it during the winter.

Front and back bumpers were resprayed last year, and a minor incident in 2012 led to a new drivers door skin, and wing mirror being fitted. The door skin has recently picked up a small ding on the one or 2 occasions iv actually used the car, but il do my best to get this sorted asap. Car has quite abit of history, and invoices, though alot of the work was done by myself, so service history is not as extensive as it could be. I have alot of receipts for bits iv got over the years.
