GT4 Zed

Great pics and some amazing cars! It's good to see this diversity and attention to details. Gutted I couldn't make this.

You can still get reclining bucket seats with side mounts which means you keep your mounts. However reclining seats tend to be heavier and also bottom mounted seats which also in addition don't get you as low as would be desirable.

I think what you need is a GT(wider) side mounted bucket seat to accommodate you generous behind.😇.

Some more stuff I have no further use of.

Also still have some items on my old thread here:

http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/99281-fs-stripping-the-zed-and-general-clearance/

Generic pic for now:

Looking good dougieðŸ‘. Spin by when it's done mate.

Shame it has to go but GLWTSðŸ‘

Goodluck budðŸ‘

It would come good in the end!

Sensor out and use electrical component spray. Give it 2-3 blasts straight unto the resistor wire let it dry for about. 5mins the repeat. Let it dry for 20mins and refit.

Good idea to clean the TB butterfly too and probably the plenum of PCV blow by oil. I use a small paint brush and white spirit to do this.

Do a full relearning procedures and job done. The car always drives crisply and responsively after this. I do it one a year.

What!!!!😳😳👀🙀🙀🙀!

Hey Jon! Nice choice mate! I'm glad you got the DCT! I regret to choosing this in hindsight but my vision was clouded by the disappointing SMG boxes.

I also think it's the right thing to leave the car std apart from 2 or 4 pipe mod. 2 pipe will be just right.

If I keep mine longer I would go with better pads than oem eg pagoda RS25 and ss brake lines and RBF. Lighter 18" wheels would be desirable with MPS cups tyres and winter tyres on the oem 19"s but the lure of the V10 RS6 is getting impossible to resist if I'm looking for that one car to do it all.

I can relate to your assessment of the car mirror your sentiments. Let's hook up before the weather goes foul and have a hoon😎.

All PMs replied to.

Once again best contact is by PM as I check it often.

Have you got the drivers a pillar trim? Need that if so

 

Cheers

Hi dude! Sorry that's not for sale.

Do you have the silver Z trim piece for the rear strut bar in the boot?

Yes.

Note that it's been painted black without sanding so can be stripped back to oem finish if required.

HI mate do you still have them lower suspension banana arms at all?

Yes. Still got all std suspension parts to go with or without urethane bushes installed. Best pm if interested.

Got the glovebox and door? Where are you located?

Got glove box but door is gone. Based in Worcester.

Still got the top centre console?

Not for sale.

Hi, interested in the seat mounts.

Only after the drivers side though, if you will split them.

Do you know if a Cobra Suzuka GT seat will fit between the rails?

 

 

[Guessing its an American Image, inches LOL]

 

Thanks

Yes it will fit. I have a cobra Suzuka pro GT seat myself :wink:

Not splitting at the moment though.

Sorry for late reply just returned from.holidays yesterday.

Is this the Nissan garage at adenau? They are pricey with labour but very thorough. They may have also overestimated for any other eventualities because the failure could also be due to another component failure.

I have a local contact in the Ring who can drive down to establish exactly what the issue is and worse case recover it for storage or take it somewhere else.

BTW why did you recover it to the UK? Can you still do this with your breakdown cover and repair the car here if you have doubts?

Pm me if you need any help.

Running between empty and a quarter is ok. I have ran down to ---- and played chicken for about 30miles looking for >97oct fuel with no issues.

So unless you have got contamination eg water which will clear off after running for a bit this is unlikely to be the cause of your problems. Air in the fuel system gets purged out almost immediately after repeated cranking and once the system is pressurised and the car starts it's clear of air unlike hydraulic systems that require bleeding.

It sounds like your are describing valvetrain noises but rather than guess take the car to your nearest Specislist from the list of shops we have on here and get the issue diagnosed.

I take it there is no codes, the car still drives, it's not smoking, has oil and making power but just having a transient noisey/rough running right?

You kept this real quiet man. Very well executed and speccedðŸ‘. I know the blood, sweat and tears required to get here seeing how long it's taken me to get mine there.

Somebody will be going home with a lovely car for cheap. The GTC wing has alternative mounts which will tidy up the rear if a buyer so chooses. GLWTS

Could have been a big crash there. Some major rollovers can be found on you tube. Very easy to unsettle the car coming out of foxhole. You need to do all your braking score the turn to the left on the rumble strip the drive through before braking again to engage the right into adenau forst.

Don't see the fuss here. The car will need lowering or else will look hideous in current stock height and bling wheels.

So assuming it will be lowered on springs or coilies at some point it would gain abit of camber and look spot on😎

+1 maths 101 Neil but that's assuming that the spacer really represents 12% of the total intake plenum volume. I very much doubt this unless that statement was made by Charles @ Motodyne.

Good work. Very precise.ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

I'm a Michelin man all the way and long before Dan began his crusade👠and it amazes me that there is still debate about it ability and suitability all round.

However if one was budget conscious as I think are the real reasons for these threads I will recommend the Federal 595 RSR. It's classed as a road legal track tyre. It's stiffer than the typical road rubber and very grippy. It can handle wet conditions but as a summer tyre you can't take liberties with it. I'm not sure of longevity but for the price it a bargain.

Just sayin'
