GT4 Zed

Wow🙀😎😎ðŸ‘

Very smooth Dan very smoothðŸ‘ðŸ‘

I was going to swap with someone on here but the logistics make this very difficult and not economically viable. So I'm putting this out for any interested party. My car is fully urethane bushed with Superpro bushes where applicable and it's been an amazing transformation of the cars handling. To take things further I have decided to swap all the bushes to metal mono ball bushes from SPL to complement my all SPL suspension. This is all part of my longterm plans to convert my car to track only so I want ride of all suspension bushes compliance. I'm doing the front first the rear later so up for swap with your oem arms in good condition and money my way. -Front banana arm with Superpro compression bush fitted in vgc - front lower control arm( translink arm) with inner and outer Superpro bushes fitted and vgc. We all know how good urethane transforms the handling but its expensive and labour intensive. Here you have the opportunity to save loads and improve you cars handling at a fraction if the cost. I'll get some archives pics up ASAP. This offer will stand till month end after which I'll just press out and likely destroy the Superpro bushes and replace them with SPL solid bushes on my existing arms as soon as I get them.

Happy birthday chum🎂

Ceejay can't believe you have a full garage and 2 poster lift but displaying such aversion to grafting😳😜😜😜 Taking the strut bar off and then plastic engine cover is under 10mins jobbie! Don't put it off and get more stuff done mate. Your dad can help😇

Beaten to the punch I see 😇😇😇😇 It's all OEM with this bits added - mines type front lip - x2 air intake duct - OEM fender guards - rear bumper add on diffuser. And the car running very low and all white makes everything stand out👀

Big fan! Plan to stop by his shop and bar if running when I go to TX in the summer😎

+1 It's also less effective being more in board.

Yup mate. Only one set left. You don't need to over drill the mounting hole only if you need even more range as the eibach eccentric cams have more profile than the OEM cams but for a very lowered car yes widening the hole is necessary. :bump:

Looking and sounding real good bizzðŸ‘👠On the other note why did you choose to route the exhaust back into the boot space? Ideally you want to keep the CG low as possible but you must have a reason👀. Are you running the OEM fuel tank or a race tank? In either case wouldn't the hot pipes be too close for comfort?

Oops!! Good spot Sam. Corrected on original postðŸ‘

Happy birthday chaps 🎂🎂🎂

No doubt its a reliable unit and has been around and proven. However depending on your installation, setup, boost levels and usage a few gremlins can crop up which need addressing to keep everything sweet. This is what this thread is about.

Nice but Andy. It's awesome car. Get some pics up mate. Drove one a long time ago but gingerly but felt solid and handled well. I've diced with a few on track but not really sure of the other drivers commitment or maybe I'm underestimating my zed😉 Good to see you in Wales.

Use a courier with a drop off point or office. They are usually open after 1700.

Ah yes my manðŸ‘. Issue: Cracking std brass oil feed nozzle for engine oil fed supercharger head unit. I don't know if it was Sam mcgoo that crack but certainly loads of threads in US of this issue. Background: This is only required for V 1 , V2 and V7 as these are the types that fit the 350z kit. Most of us here have the V2 or V3. V3 is self lubricated with its own oil supply. My V2 T trim kit came with the brass upgrade from vortech as standard because the T Trim is HD. But the SC trim will have the brass nozzle. If it crack within the headunit you are in @*!# as you will have to drill it out and hope not to cause damage. Solution: Get the SS nozzle from Vortech or any vortech trader. Pics: Std brass SS nozzle: Complete oil feed kit. I also replaced the brass T fitting which tees into oil sender and the engine. Do no weak points don't have pics but you just need to get a T price with the correct threads to match the brass peice.

Nice one lexx. You are the man. Subscribed and posted already😇

Issue: Failed smooth idler pulley bearing Background: probably the result of over thightenning the serpentine belt. It had been increasingly noise for sometime and then I noticed a rusty dust on the mounting plate coming from it and at this point ordered new idler pulleys from vortech. It survived the track days and only last week started to fail badly. The noise was louder screeching then looking at the belt idling you could see the idler wobbling and spitting metal bits and at this point I had to swap it. Solution: new idler from Vortech. I got three since the are three smooth pulleys on the Revup. I checked the rest and the were fine. Pics: Didn't take a pic when it was spitting rust dust and metal shavings but its the smooth pulley on the left. Mashed up bearing. You could probably get these beading replaced if you know the part number but I could be bothered with the hassle. Replaced close up Voila. Changed serpentine belt to the strongest grippiest belt Gates makes at the same time. More to that later

Now that there is a growing number of Vortech owners here I feel we should have a thread to post up any reliability issues and solutions encountered and and technical mods that you have done to improve the vortech's reliability and performance. I hope as it grows the mods may give it its own section to make it easy to find. I'll be SC'ed now for a year and though under 5k miles I've driven the car hard and completed 2 trackdays at Bedford autodrome GT circuit so its a good measure so far of the durability of the kit.

Chris you are such a tease!!!! Anyway you are swapping your V2 SC heady it for a V3? Why is that? It's not a logical move since the V2 is a better blower from a purist point of view. And if you V2 had the HD gears is definitely better since the V3 only comes with std. Even vortech literature suggest getting an engine oil fed blower for heavy or high power use like race/ drag or tracking.

Whoa!!!! Uncle keyser what's going on🙀. You must be up to something. I smell a turbo or upgrade supercharger kit in the air because you have made no mention of selling the zed. GLWTS.

Watched all the previous series/ episodes. Just waiting for the new series to start. I was similarly hooked with Spartacus😇

Awesome. I love GOT and this is actually on the money. I thought the new season began next month ...... I'll be damned if it started already :rant:
