GT4 Zed

What?? Say

Nice! Welcome to grip town

Will take reasonable offers on the oem diff (VLSD) and any other item. Need to clear out all left overs. My CF seibon 2007+ bonnet and cusco 1.5way diff will be up for sale too so look out.

I have run 295/30/19 MPS on my zed from almost when I bought it and never had a TC issue. Word of caution: -Depending on your wheel ET, camber. or ride height it will rub!! So requiring arch rolling. - for a DD that's too much tyres and will negatively impact acceleration even though grip will increase but its not needed. - you will experience more tram lining. - the car will be almost undrivable in winter. -I did tell shire all this when he bought the 295 from me - go with 275 and you have the optimum tyre for the zed as a DD. Having FI is a different matter and more tyre is better for traction and you have the power to overcome it. Out of interest how much did you get the tyres for? I have a network of guys I get very good deals myself for the last 5years as I exclusively use only Michelins.

Correct but the cusco can be sold for the right price including the diff housing and half shaft for a plug and play installation. Not in a hurry to sell. I'm taking the zed probably of the road next year as a sole track car and to try my hand in DWYB so would be going for a 2way LSD.

Correct!!

I have upgraded my VLSD to a 1.5way cusco LSD. It still engaged smoothy and has had annual synthetic diff oil change since I got the car. After a curious check inside and full exterior shot blast and high temp paint and upgrade urethane bushes its in very good condition to upgrade a zed with open diff. It's been up for sale at £350 but sale fallen through so it can find a new home for £200 rather than seat in my garage. For an extra £50 I can get it installed locally so you drive away smiling. So anyone considering this feel free to contact me or look at my FS trade for pics.

Can't agree more with you Dblock I did not insinuate the op not go FI but that to look at options available for the platform before making an informed choice. Technical info is not the only thing to be gained in such an endeavor but a general pros and cons view of each route out there. It's very different from buying an OEM fettled FI car

First familiarise yourself with the FI thread and learn a bit more on FI-ing the zed before even looking at kits. Search is your friend.

I think you need to decide which seat(s) you want first as this will determine you choice of mounts. Seats are either side mounted or bottom mounted or have fittings for either. For side mounted seats the buddy club zed specific seat mounts are decent and cheapish as compared to the Bride super low mount. I have had both with my cobra Suzuka pro seats and kept the buddy club. Go to a shop like merlinmotor sports or demon-tweeks where you can try as many seats as you can before you buy. I bought my seat from Autosports NEC after testing quite a few

0-60 times is not just about power and weight but contact patch and all the factors that can influence it and most importantly gearing! For example the 2009 GTR weighs circa 1.8k tons with 500bhp, four wheel drive and 0-60 under 3secs way quicker than cars with similar power and less weight!! I agree the quoted 0-60 in dispute is low-ish but with the right conditions and the power/torque that car has its well doable!

Get a proper LSD :D I've not checked 0-60 as I'm not interested but the acceleration with the combo of supercharger, lightweight clutch/flywheel, sorted suspension, sticky tyres and the biggest difference a proper 1.5 way LSD is miles better than without. I'm going to do a few passes in Santa pod one of this days to find out the improvements over stock. But it feels between 4.2-4.8secs butt dyno

Salut et bienvenue

Very nice!! How scratch resistant is this? How much to do all this bits? Do you need prep work on the plastics?

20mm spacers should do the trick or push with a 25mm. What is the rear wheel ET?

Hi Neil I have the Eibach ARB and power grid drop links and set to the middle hole. Had no issues. I have set it to the hardest before but swapped back to medium as the car went from neutral to oversteer tendency. Don't remember any issues too. I can also send you some pics but that would be the weekend when I plan to work in her.

Your geo was a mess before alignment and that's has been rectified except for your left front caster which is .5deg off. That's a lot and would after the steer ahead and dynamic steering response as accentuated on uneven surface. My suspicion is you have a bush failure at the front and the play is what you are experiencing dynamically driving or clearly manifest on the corrected geo. Your wheels, tyres are all good and though its always good to get the tyre well balanced I don't think that's the issue. Look at the culprit compression arm bushing but also the translink arm bush and check both arm ball joint for excessive play. The UCA bush or ball joint are almost bullet proof and should not be at fault.

Without a printout of your geo any comment about your alignment is irrelevant as being with isn't specs could still mean a huge disparity on each side of an axle etc. The significant thing here is the change from 18 to 19' wheels. Can you share the wheel dimensions and tyre sizes with us? My feeling is you are suffering with bump steer the result is going with wider and bigger wheels. This can be reduced with the right adjustment and its easier if you have more suspension adjustability than the stock suspension system.

Atleast its finally coming together mate! It must have been stressful. Not to worry you are going to enjoy the car when is all done

Hey Sam, can't make sense of this please clarify so I can assist if needed.

Grow a pair and take it to the next level that engine is crying for Or follow GT4's example and take it to the max I thought he took it to 0? Philistines you lot

Nice work!

Surprised the VLSD hasn't sold yet when I consider how many non LSD cars I saw at the ace cafe! Anyway I'll take offers on it and anything other item. Bump
