GT4 Zed

No! its 274.5 WHP and anywhere between 309-320 FWHP depending on your "accepted" drivetrain losses. i think Mark @ Abbey uses 35hp as std zed loss while @ Thor they claimed it was between 15-25% depending on the car and used 17% as an average In anycase good work by Mark and welcome to the remapped club and enjoy:teeth:

Hi james, i think the first thing to do is do a full geo check and realignment to factory specs and that might just give you the feel you need. looking at the pics(2) the seems to be some an increase degree of -ve camber the rear which i presume is a result of the drop with springs and thats not the 295 MPS With a full geometry check you will be able to tell if both sides are equal or if you are achieving factory settings without camber arms or toe bolts. My guess is there is an exagerated or unequal camber and or toe (because the factory unit is quite limited on adjustment and i doubt you can dial -ve 2.5-2.9 deg camber and also get the toe set within specs!) and this is made worse by the wide profile 295 tyres Only after checking and adjusting the alignment can you objectively say what needs uprating If camber and toe are all fine and you are having loads of roll then you might want to be aggresive with the their setting, but i thing you would need aftermarket camber/toe kit to do this. Next will be stiffer ARBs +/- adjustable droplinksand ultimately if not fully content then you need to reduce the CG and only coilovers can help you achieve that properly There are other things putting the right tyre pressures, worn bushes which can create a big disparity at the front camber arms which is not adjustable! you also have not commented about the attitude of the car which gives more info about what the suspension is doing all round. eg oversteer?, understeer? and damping? What springs are you using? they could be unmatched for the zeds dampers if its not a good brand like eibach as things like g-max etc donot really do any r&d and could sell saggy or overdamped/underdamped springs. Also donot let the tyres compromise the handling because you are worried it will rub if the correct setup means it will rub then roll the arches which will be cheaper that trying to upgrade stuff when the rea culprit is under your nose Suspension tuning is hard and takes time and i should now because i recently made my suspension fully adjustable and it took me $%^&&' tries to get it right for road use (track set up is relatively easily )

Husky don't tell me you have put those diabolical tyres on again BTW i love the lamp post GLWTS of the wheels someone will be happy as these are lovely and i still don't know why you wanna sell

rear brembos just ok....front ones i really doubt go for 20mm spacers...15 will be only just enough +1 Need 20mm for the flushed look

yep, needs full charge overnight or a good 10 mile now to get the alternator to juice up the battery

Really not good to read this Jerry Hope things change soon and you don't have to part with the zed! But if you have to the GLWTS and see you soon in a 370z

Good to know that you have fixed it and that you were lucky not to blow the fuses or worse. careful next time

Assaultech?? I nearly pulled the trigger on that kit but went a different route in the end I was wondering what was in the defi box since you didnt mention any defi gauges but then I remembered what it was Yup, Ian so what did you get then?

Nice one Paul, your patience paid off. I think you still overpaid for some of the used stuff but hey what the heck On another note i found a US tuning shop that sells a new tuner V3 kit for $3600, but after you had got yours I think I will go for it in the mid year, but for now i will just be stockpiling all the ancillaries required. Goodluck with the build

ET37 not very good when you think the OEM wheel ET33 IMHO aim for ET20 at least so you dispense of spacers Ultimately it comes down to what look you are after

I have got these(OEM GT4 items. apparently slightly stiffer than the DE cars) up for grabs with other suspension bits so pm me if you are interested.

Good job But is it me or is it darker after the refurb or was that delibrate

Get CS to supply you these and you can fit them yourself No special skill required Even added a link to a fitting guide to help you : viewtopic.php?f=35&t=33329 However, my addvice will be to get the disc refaced/skimmed with a lathe (rather than grind or sand it as suggested in the guide) if there is a lot of lipping and if they still have lots of life left. otherwise you need new disc too! Any local garage with a Procut on car lathe can do this and you can just take the same oportunity to change the pads at the same time or get them to change it at no extar charge See list of places in Reading: http://www.skimmydiscs.co.uk/berkshire.html

Don't mean to sound patronising, of course I don't know you driving experience, but at your age please be VERY careful with the Z. Car insurance is expensive for people your age in these cars for a very good reason; to put off the inexperienced from driving them. They are right up there with Porsche and the like, and are alot different from a 206. Driving one home and getting it to the red line on a country road is a different matter. They can be very hairy when you wind them up properly. I don't want you binning it or worse. Stay cool with it and stay safe I don't want to hear any bad stories here. Bradders. +1 It is a blessing that by the time you get it it will be drier and you will have all the time to get used to the car from then up to next winter Sametime next year you will have 3yrs Ncb and 1yr zed experience with a big on your face! Just keep polishing for now and make sure you come to the famous Wales meet

He maybe tempted especially as his uncle is doing the painting FOC

Always nice to see a fellow black zed in mint condition Dare i say you need spacers and ............ahem................................ lowering to really pull off the whole shibang

This is not uncommon but try this US based shop below for a wide variety. Their stuff are usually good quality. Or just powdercoat it to your body colour for somtheing different....that what i've done to mine . http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/350z03j

5000 members is the very reflection of the relentless and inspiring toil of all the mods since the very begining to make the forum one of the best Z resources in the world and what a great confraternity that this club now represents. We should all be proud of the landmark and grow even bigger.......................... hip hip hooooooooooooooray

I will wear this badge with honour

free bump for my mate

They are if its T1Rs you are going for.

ok im not sure if its been remaped, ive not took it past 112mph yet to find out if it has been de-limited or not Nice zed. very good combo of external mods As for knowing what power she is making there only one way to find out but if its not delimited and has the breathing and exhaust mods as one would expect you will do well to get an uprev remap which will sort everything in one go ie delimit, response/power, good mpg etc

Just to be sure of what you said. both front inside worn/ how many miles on these and how bad? there is a natural tendency to wear the inside slightly than the outside due to the geo set up of the car anyway the only time it should concern you is if this wear is excessive Note: the OEM set up is -ve camber with a few secouns toe in. the front camber is not ajustable but toe is, so do a full laser alignment check. if this is normal and the same on each side then the issue could have been wrong preussures
