GT4 Zed

To put it in another way, running 95RON will not kill your car immediately but it will be making less power and also consume more in this protective state. You must remember than the car is tuned optimally for higher RON as is in Japan but has to be able to be used accross the worldso the ECU would adjust accordingly. The higest we get here readiliy on tap is 99 so this is best. In germany i use 102RON and the zed really likes it . For FI you would be running a risk of serious damage unless you have tuned maps for each fuel and even so you would also make less power with the cheaper stuff. Bottom line is its false economy to run 95RON on the car unless you have no choice and need to top up for a short distance.

3 piece of advise: 1- MAF I had a dip in my fuel consumption a few months back and traced it to my MAF. i founs a ting piece of leaf that had work its way and was blocking the hot wire i carefully picked it up with small tweezers and sprayed the wires with electrical cleaner spray from halfords and let it try and refitted. My MPGs got back to 26-32 as before. beware of the effect of some mods to the car if any. 2- Throttle controller The next investment i would suggest is a D1 controller. It will pay itself in no time Mind you my car is NA tuned with all mods concievable but i return 28-32 MPG on motorway at 85-90mph and 22-26 in busy town track. At SP7 on track i have 9-15mpg 3- Driving style. hard accelerations riding on the wrong gears, staying to long on a gear etc all impact MPG dramatically so look into what you can change. Also loose some weigt off the car if you are really trying, spare wheels etc, carry 1/4 or 1/2 tank of fuel at a time. If all fails get you car ecu checked and exhaust for no leaks etc But at the end of the day its a 3.5l 1.5 ton bit-h so what do you expect

I got cobra suzuka pro seats after trying loads of seats at autosports international motor show. Just fitted them last week and using the factory belt no issues so far. Its very good advice you are getting here to try seats before you buy . eg i couldn't fit into std seats and had to order GT size which i would never had known except for real life testing. Also you just don't get comfy with some designs irrespective of manufacturer. NB: I will be putting a super low Bride driver side seat rail for sale soon when i get pics up keep you eye out for this. I have just got a pair Buddy club rails on order as i want matching rails and cannot wait for to import the passenger Bride rail to match .

Hi DB, can't get a clean shot for a meaningful pic as i'm looking at the leak area through the front griil. I will take some pics when I take off the bumper and the condenser but for ref the condenser seats infront of the rad as per your pic and my leak is from the top pipe on a cylindrical candister attached to the driver side edge of the condenser. There is a bracket there and I would suspect the cause of the damage. Your leak looks man made ?DIY around there that went wrong? I be sorting mine out next week on my week off.

This car is just getting better and better Ian It needs side skirts though. Z-tune is

Awesome transformation taras Nice touch with the black accents to the amuse, That chargespeed bumper is just the ticket and i will be knocking on your door for mine before long

very nice Howvever its safe to say i still have the loudest exhaust on a 350z Until yesterday when i finally took it off for a milltek. It will take a while for my hearing to recover

Papa smurf, it's called being at the right place at the right time Thanks for the freebie and if it doesn't work I'll re-offer it to the vultures

Hey Adrian, I am liking you proposed changes mate Always liked you car and this will take it to the next level mate! Although l like contrasting calipers I think the turquoise calliper would work best. Looking forwards to the finished article.

Sorry about the misshap mate.... Could have been worse! You are ok and the car will come out liking better With regards to your dilemma all green wrap with black roof, mirror, front lip +/- canards will be less fussy but as all ready said its you baby so your choice. BTW you knob is going out tomoz as hit too late to catch the post today.

Where are all the track guys this is a good and essential kit for serious track work. Reduced to £1100 as is. Still £1600 with new blue stuff NDX race pads all round and new front rotors Free fitting if you come to Worcester

Graham I know where you live

I finally found where the leak from my AC is comming from After getting the garage to refill my system with gas and dye thrice now and they could never find the leak and after about two weeks the AC would start to blow hot air agian. Everything works after regassing. i took matters in my hands and got it regassed and bought you UV googles and light from ebay and had a look myself in the night and found the culprit. There is a leak on the top part of little tank by the condenser where a pipe comes out of it. look like there is a joint here may be leaking as there is dye just only in this area. I want to take off the whole thing to inspect closely while the zed is recieveng other attention but not sure if this is repairable/weldable or only the tank thingy can be replaced or just get a new or used one (Alex or Lee). Has anyone got the same issue in the past or present? https://www.carpartsdiscount.com/auto/p ... 593=135317

Hi all, i sold my leather seats awhile ago and took these JDM cloth seats in good condition as part payment. I have got my race seat since january but ready to instal now as soon as when i get the roll cage fitted this month. These have to go as i can't store them and my zed is never going back standard anyway i'll let them go for a bargain £190 pick up £210 delivered. These weigh 19kg each compared to leather GT seats at 25kg Also found then grippier than my slippery leather GT seats and i never missed the elcectric functions which is slow and bogus The other thing is the bolter resist wear better than leather and require no maintaince. Finally the seats breath better so you dont sweat when working hard behind the wheel. Before anyone asks heres a sneak preview of my 6kg Cobra seats in custom yellow stitching, space fabric and leather reinforced bolters:

Just putting out a feeler/FS for my BBK by Ksport 356mm(14") disc front and rear with 8pots vs 6pot callipers in Ksport black. I have been very pleased with these by far my best peformance mod. Its worth +30seconds on the Ring and a few who have been in my car as passenger or driver can attest. After seeing Tez's Brembo refurb thread i got tempted to refurb the callipers in yellow and get new nipples and bolts to make it all shinny and get new front pads and discs. I contacted Ksport to get these items and we got talking about their super 8 range of BBK and before i knew it they put on offer a deal (as a good customer ) for their 380mm(16") super 8 BBK! The price is too good to refuse and i have to consider it. There is nothing wrong the my current set up and even when i go SC it will still be more than enough but the way i see it i'll spend x to refurb it to yellow which i always wanted or i could sell my current set up and spend x to get the super 8 in yellow So for anyone who wants their own personal anchor here a feeler or FS thread. It comprises -Front 356mm rotors used with used Ferrodo DS2500 pads. -Rear 356mm rotor used with used ferrodo pads. -SS braided lines all round Pads have about 50% life left except for one on the rear which is between 30-40% It was an inside pad which was sticking due to salt corrosion and i only noticed late when i went under the car. All that was required was to scrape of the crude and brake dust and sand down the edges of the pad to give more freedom of mov't within the calliper. I have made a note to do this when installing new pads on all callipers or copper grease as my mechanic adviced You will need new front discs (£359 a set for ksport or £399 for AP, marginally lighter) and rear ferrodo pads which is pointless. I would rather go for EBC blue stuff which are cheaper but better than the ferrodos for track and fast road work. If you are a full track nut then you need to go with in this order with Performance friction 01 race compound = Pagid RS15s > or RS29s. PF1 costs £399 a set while RS29 are 283 and RS15s 245. I have averaged front disc every 18months with PF01 which equates to 8-10K miles per year including 4 round trips to the Ring and bout 100 laps per year (Did +100 laps last year ). I have never changed the rears and it still have about 50% life left. I had the Ferrodos with the kit new and used them only when i ran out of PF 01 for road use only. They are fine on track but fade when used aggressively. The PF are fade free and the RS15 are similar though i have not used it. The RS29 are for endurance racing and can survive a 24hr race with the performance of the PF01/RS15 i have been told and plan to get this next. I have driven a BMW M3 V8 on the ring with RS29 and it was awesome. I want £1200 kit for this as is or £1600 with new front disc and full set of pads Blue stuff pads. I can also get other pads you may want cheaper than you can from Ksport so specify your choice. Note the 356mm kit cost £999 new per axle so £2K and this excludes pads. So for example if you wanted this same set up new with Blue stuff its £2250. see link for full prices. http://www.ksport.co.uk/order.asp?id=267&loc=2 http://www.ksport.co.uk/order.asp?id=209&loc=4 Bad points: There is none regarding performance with the right pads its as good as big brands. Aesthetically if you are fussy it could do with a full refurb. Shot blasting and new paint to your preference or powder coat and job done. I can get the done cheaply locally for £200. The seals are in good condition and donot need changing, Infact ksport has never had a complaint of seal damage. All the bolts have external/superficial rust and can be cleaner and treated or changed if you are fussy. All parts available cheap. Some pics: If any interest or you want some more info pm me and i give you my phone number. I plan to get thses off my car by this month end otherwise its stays and gets refurbed.
