GT4 Zed

Is there a skill you donot have chris? Really mindbogglingly amazing so of your solutions/customizations

The first 370 front bumper i really like. This make owning a 370 very compelling How much does this kit go for?

Thanks for the bump Taddy

Thanks, but If the bonnet was not painted it will not have been £350 You can paint it Located in Worcester for all pick ups.

The diameters are the same as within all uk cars(34mm/21mm) but bigger wrt JDM cars(32mm/20mm). The increase stiffness was achieved by increase wall thickness as they are hollow tubes. This OEM upgrade should be very worthwhile for JDM cars as these have smaller ARB's diameter for comfort. Most aftermarket upgrades are 34-36mm/20mm but have adjustability to further increase stiffness if required. Look up 350z wiki for this tech

Chris, it's a revup manifold not DE. Will fit with no issues. The difference is the runners are shorter which than the DE's which accounts for why the revup made more power and slightly less torque than the DE but at a higher rev max. Longer runners better for torque. ?Could reverse be reproducible on the DE with raised revs and remap???. Its possible and I have not come across any data or facts to support or prove the contrary. Might work well with the SC which is different from NA who knows

Some OEM stuff for those who prefer it that way or replacing damaged items or a project:teeth: I need them gone from my garage ASAP. OEM complete wiper assembly with wiper arm and Bosch aero wiper £35 del. OEM complete Struts, springs and cones in good condition. ~25K miles covered only. Kept them as insurance. Need to go as gathering dust. £175. OEM rear camber arms £25 del OEM Revup lower plenum to replace your damaged one or for a project, £60 delivered

Just got my Kinetix velocity inatke manifold(took 3weeks due to delay by UK customs ) so the perfomance items below need to go. The plenum spacer or Motordyne MREV2 needs no introduction as the best mods proven to make power/torque especially on the revup VQ engine. Only the spacer is required for Non-revups . I also got a second MREV2 up for sale which i bought my with my Kinetix manifold to cover some costs:teeth: Motordyne MREV2. (2 in stock) SOLD 1-Off my car yesterday: Installed 2+ years ago (Dynoed from 240WHP =>270WHP with these mods) 2-Extra purchased used from US: As is on Motordyne website. Custom plenum spacer with hardware. SOLD This spacer is a custom. It fits perfect and taller(~1/2") than the MD 5/16th spacer for extra volume but clears the strut brace. Comes with all the hardware kit (Custom made by Horsham -dev @£50).

Get some good quality pics of your beast and the laps will you Have fun and be safe you deserve it after the hard work

Thanks Dave for the reminder ear plugs will be provided. Actually the exhaust will be quieter by then as i was banned at the Ring last year on my last trip and had to use my least agressive map and D1 TC set at ECO1 to pass the static noise test at 97db at 3000rpm. Officially the static test is 94db max(at half the engine rev limit) but they will allow up to 100db . My zed with baffles on and at my most aggressive MAP and TC at SP7 was 118db at 3000rpm(I lied that my rev limit was 6000rpm though its set at 7500rpm Will i have fixed the door handle and put extra bolts to hold it in place and now have a barf bag as standard

I know there was a thread somewhere raising interest within the forum to go to the Ring this year. The timetable has been out for sometime and only covers up to july. There is a lots of negative press on about the Rings present future but its relatively safe to say all commits for the year will be respected and the TF should continue despite any transition between ownership or other arrangements. That said a few dates are of great interest if one can take the time off to be there. April Friday 6th - monday 9th will be an epic 4 days of long 0800-1930 sessions at the Ring and should allow one to get some decent laps speard over those days. I for one will be there with my friends but it maybe a good opportunity for people here who want to go to join I am not starting a list but safe to say i'll be leaving on Thurdsay 5th(Pm) to return on Tuesday 10th(late AM) and going via Eurotunnel. Anyone wanting to join us feel free to PM me. I may also have a spare seat like i did with Will350z last year for a part split of the costs and that will include driven laps by yourself under tuition, passenger laps and also passenger laps with my friends. How does a Porcshe 997GT3 RS, 996 GT3 RS, BMW M3 V8, BMW M3 CSL and R35 GTR sound ? Next long weekend will be May Sat 26th - monday 28th which i would plan to do as well

Bilsteins B14 <£1200 Bilstiens B16 £1500 HR monotube <1100 Eibach pro street 1000 I am only naming brands i know have TUV certification as a mark of quality and also these companies extensive R&D with vehicle specific testing not just generic manufacture. There are more out there and others will chime in.

You are both entitled to opinions. Bennet, you are not always correct so perhaps you could respect the opinion of docwra even though it differs from your own instead of arguing about it. FWD, RWD, 4WD, MR, FR etc preferences are all subjective. Maybe some people should get out and drive other cars instead of slating cars they've never driven. Thanks for your points and yes sometimes i am can wrong and would put my hand up. But this was not about right and wrong. As you rightly say its all a matter of subjectivity and thats what i essentially said and also stated my preference. Where did i "slate" anything? I have not been uncouth with my arguments nor shown any disrespect for anyone so why the undertone suggesting so? Debate is healty and stimulating and is sometimes opportunity all parties to learn and should be fun, civilised and good natured especially in an open forum like ours. If this is not encouraged thats Ok, but unbalanced or partial moderating is very unflattering. Not to worry i'll keep schtum and away from any argument.

Since you asked. I'll start off with: -KW V1 <£1000 -KW V2 <£1300 -KW V3 <£1500 www.motorsportworld.co.uk have these going for 10% less at present so even cheaper than the average price above

Dude you are becomming tiresome with "i" this and "i" that and my "mates" that so much so your dog will begin to run only on its front legs to make your point keep all that technical shizzle away be fore you hurt yourself and stay with the facts. An ST is not a better drivers car than a zed and it just happen to be FWD. I am entitled to state my opinion and whether you like it or not its a worldwide consensus from better placed than ourself that mostly RWD is dynamically a better drivers car than FWD. can you put up a poll here and see for yourself?? This does not say some FWD cars are not good or even better than comparable RWD cars. And this i have always maintained . If you want to nitpick through my post and quotye out of context then do so with your blinkres off. Finally......................... just keep beating up on your sorted zed that you have spent xyz on and cannot match you standard pug with parada tyres then it maybe you are are flattering your self about your ability or Bs-ing or can't set up your zed properly for the conditions in which the comparisons was made. I hope i will be lucky to take revenge for zed-dom and (wipe that smile off your face in the pug ) ..........errrrhemmmm show you that all being equal on any track in the Uk i will skin you alive in that Pug or in a standard zed as it will be unfair with mine. I end my side of this OOT debate that never was but that get it out of your mind that "i write off" FWD cars.

Well positioned to comment then? Ive owned a 172, a Lancia HF Turbo on Grp N suspension and 3 GTI-6's. Ive also owned 8 (more?) 200SX's from bone stock through to over 400hp and fully track specced, a few BMW's and obviously my 350. On track Ive used everything from Mk1 Escorts through to 500+hp Skylines. This kinds negates your road conditions/power to weight etc arguments as well as Ive probably already experienced the differences on both sides of the coin. And I am the most attractive man in the world, as with all other humanity related facts. That statement is rubbish mate, you cant generalise like that without any eviudence at all. Im talking from personal experience of owning and driving all of these cars in all conditions, I can produce at least 5/6 people with exactly the same story as me - wrote off FWD as being crap, got a very good FWD car, changed mind. FWD is definitely more accessible, but in most situations Ive got just as much control over the back of my 6 as I have my 350Z - see earlier comments regarding trail braking and weight distribution. The 6 is standard BTW, the Zed is modified Back to my original point, all Im saying is dont write FWD off as not being as good as RWD until you have experienced a good one. With respect, you almost certainly havent. Dowcra mate, i started by saying i did not want to make an argument of this as we all stating merely opinions and our experience Do you think reelling off a list of cars owned makes you better qualifed or means only your opinion is correct or experience relevant? I have had a long list of cars too but that is far from the point! I agree with you FWD is more accessible and apart from cheap to produce thats another selling point same way most RWD cars come with inherent understeer setup In fact i will add by saying FWD is more flattering because of so much understeer that you think you have more rear control when actually its just pushing the front wide. you talk of weight distribution and trail braking but TBH on a FWD car its limited mostly to regaining front grip to help with turn and not a fine art as in RWD where it is dynamic and applied through turn in, mid corner and exit to keep the car balanced for maximum speed. It is feel and maintainance of this dynamically that makes RWD so rewarding and even more so than AWD. More so I said RWD is overall more superior... not all RWD are better than FWD I ended my post buy saying what really its all about....being petrolheads and enjoying driving as in truth there is no right or wrong choice but rather what we want from our cars or what we can afford to feed the undying quest for driving for pleasure. Nobody wrote of the focus ST and most people here right chimed in to the Op querries and suggested the St is inferior to the zed in most department and.................. thats correct right? Without a doubt there are FWD cars out there that will outhandle a zed but as i pointed out you need to actually homologate two cars to a set rule to be able to compare them and thats why there is a thing as class in racing. So until when can have such a comparison it will always be matter of opinion if a FWD is better than a RWD or even an AWD for that matter but as well as you and i know just look round the world why do you think most sports cars are rear wheel drive especially as FWD is cheaper to manufacture? Why are there more RWD or AWD cars out there racing than FWDs? The answer is because the are good but limited especially as you up the power and want more feel out of them! That saying FWD cars have come a long way and there is so many wizardry to make them hand very well. We own 308 GT and its so honest. i can drive 8-9/10th of it ability in most twisty A roads and i feel chuffed but same road at 6-7/10th of my zeds ability i feel like a champ because i worked for it So If the OP's question was can i get a FWD that is exciting and handles well then no doubt there are quite a few to point him to. But if he is suggesting he wants to switch from a FWD to a RWD then depending on what cars he was refering to we can make suggestions as appriopriate and in this case its ST to Zed which is a no contest Putting this aside i will like to wipe the smile off you face in that litttle Pug of yours . name the place and the day ok i'm joking and i hope you see the whole thing lighthearted as its supposed to be

To lift off some of the recent gloom about development at the Ring. first was the good news that the old operators contract have been cancelled which means public pressure is finally paying off then i saw this lap and though it was organised by the opersators it was an idea that had been on for sometime and recently brought up by Dale at Rent4Ring but the told him it was too dangerous only to do this themselves That sumarises how this operators have been slowly monoplizing and putting local bussiness that existed long before the Ring became the famous out of business Hopefully the new operators will learn and do whats best. Enjoy

I used to preach this on a daily basis (hell, my other car club put FWD in the swear filter and changed it to "scrabble" ), and from 2000 until 2010 everything I owned was RWD. In that time I also became a competent drifter, pi**ed about on snow and ice, did trackdays, road trips and all sorts in a variety of RWD cars. Then I took the Zed off the road and needed a new daily, so bought a 306 GTI-6 Peugeot, and pretty much from day 1 I was converted - its more fun, its faster through bends, its more precise, theres more feedback from it and obviously you can drive it "spiritedly" in the wet, rather than crapping yourself most of the time. ITs taught me to trail brake, to use lift off oversteer to change angle of attack and to use the engine more for weight distribution while driving as well. Ive since driven 205GTi's, 172/182/Cup/Trophy Clios, a Focus RS, and had a quick go in a Lotus Elan and Integra Type R and pretty much all of them are more rewarding than a Z33, with a whole lot less risk attached. Im sure most will disagree and Ill be called a philistine and a retard, but until you have driven a properly sorted FWD car you have no idea of how good they can be. In a straight statement, although my HSD'd Zed is fantastic, the Pug will beat it for speed and enjoyment in pretty much every situation. Im not saying one is better than the other, but dont write cars off because they arent RWD, they can still give an incredible drive. Docwra you are a philistine and i disagree with you completely. Don't want to make an argument of it but the comparisions are wrong! i am not a competent drifter, nor a time attack king but i can safely say i can handle myself safely behind the wheel in most situations and have never owned a FWD car (bar my first car a ford escort back in the days) but i have driven some wheel sorted FWD cars both on road and track and i have also been given many a cold sweat by FWD cars on the Ring but its not that simple to generalise from you experience alone. There are lots of parameters to consider just to list a few (assuming driver skill was equal) - power to weight ratio -level of surface grip -Tyres -Mods eg suspension tuning, chassis tuning -road or track layout etc etc There are pros and cons for each setup as to be expected but without any doubt RWD set up is the far superior overall just like other automotive facts. the only challenge i can give you is to drive a really well sorted zed(ie one that is raw....stripped of almost all the factory GTness) against a similarly sorted FWD car then you will truly understand. If we ever met i will hand you my keys to see for yourself and its still a work in progress but the transformation is advanced Finally my friend you are never be called a retard for all petrolheads are passionate people but can often wax too lyrical and misunderstood by the zombies that live among us and see vehicles as only means of transport or beast of burden...that title goes to them:surrender:

well done fella. will love to see all that hard work in the flesh. Need to plan a shed visit me thinks

Got a Bn IP4 for sale black. Pm sent

That is one mahooosive rear wing Neil. Do you have an adequate front splitter to counteract that for its will gereate more DF that you have lost in weight and then some The zed in the pic has rear diffuser sideskirt/aprons and a barely visible front splitter with i suspect are all in balance and therefore creates Df without too much drag. You really want somthing that is match or developed on the car and as such APR could provide a one stop solution. Both GT 300 and 500 series wing combine with their front splitter or similar eg Stillen should be perfect. See this link for some general APR info. http://aprperformance.com/index.php?opt ... &Itemid=45 Sent you a Pm

Hi Jez, I will be interested too but not this month as i have been cleaned out at the Autosport show where i got race seats, harnesses, uprated my KW V3 to clubsports and bits and bobs for my cooling mods. Still need to get a bolt-on roll cage( head up Neil ), subframe bushes and a general service & refresh including pads/disc/exhaust header camcoated and track tyres all by early April Weight comparisons will be nice and i agree that the side quarter glass is unnecessary to swap unless the discount is very good for a GB Also are the lexan offering scratch proofed and UV protected?

I'll be indebted to you for the info as always Did you have the low maxx rails? And did you source them locally?

Just got my self a set Cobra suzuka pro GT seats directly from Cobra at the Autosports show this weekend at a good discount price and now looking for seat rails that would side mount these into the zed bolt-on. I want something with adjustability and that can seat low. Any insight appreciated if you have fitted race seats in the zed. I have bride, sparco and buddy club seat rails in mind but not sure if they fit the zed bolt on withouit any modification. Queue Ian Anybody interested in any cobra seats send me a pm as i can get the same deal for you which is basically buy one get the other half price. The only downside is it will take 3-4weeks to be delivered since they are manufactured to order. NB; My GT heated leather seats will be up for sale but will be delivered when my cobras arrive They are in very good condition and i would just need a deposit to secure the sale. Pics will be up with my other items for sale asap.
