GT4 Zed

BNIB: What it should look like installed: Bought this early this year after seeing it in a show home but i can't fit it as it requires a brick line chimney which i dont have. I have decided against building one so it has to go. Cost £840 new when i got it. Just done a search for the lowest price currently on the net and found £570 see info/specs here: http://www.hotprice.co.uk/2118/3769/pro ... -fire.html Would be happy to sell for £400ono delivered or even lower if you can find a lower priced one FS Note it is still BNIB and was openned once to make sure nothing was damaged.

Hi dunkster, just saw your querry. Uprev is good just as UTEC ems or any standalone ECU eg haltech. It all comes down to costs ! In that respect Utec and Uprev are close. there a pros and cons to both but personally i went for UTEC for the resale advantage as it is plug and play while the Uprev is licenced to the original ECU so it can be complicated on selling time if you want to partout the car. no problems if you can manage to sell it on with everything on My UTEC has 4 maps ready tuned in which you can match to your mods so as not to require fine tuning but if you do need a fine tune its easy and takes about an hour and can be done by any tuner. At £400 ono it matches the cost of Uprev see info here: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=42560

Might be two unrelated issues so its worth noting that your cruise control will not engage when the temps are low and roads liable ice over Usually there will be the sign "icy" on the rightnost dial on the center console tripod and if you press the CC buton the cruise lits comes one with the set light which flickers and they both go off. Its just on more safety feature to stop you from loosing your guard in treacherous conditions Infact you should avoid using it even in the rain. Its suitable for normal driving conditions only.

Had my upgrade to 4G in july and forgot to sell this on Now down in value but still going on Ebay for £200ono. Happy to let this go for £180ono delivered. its in good condition with minimal signs of wear and will come with all the bits minus earphones for obvious hygiene reasons. I believe it is factory unlocked and ready to go.

+1 agree MPS2 are light weight especially the N1 variant Nice find Thomas, saw similar list before and the Buddy club P1 racing QF was the lightest of the lot. It is forged and well contructed like its nearest rival the CE28N but cheaper however may be now discontinued

aha this thread has been revived I have offered many comments in various post where it came up but i will write a nice summary of my experience after over one year as it is only fair to do so for the benefit of the forum and for interested parties In all i only have positive comments about these BBk and the fact that Ksports have been official Time attack brake suppliers and winner it goes along way to say about the good balance quality and performance of the BBK and value for money i hope Wasso can chip in as he recently had the pleasure of being scared to death in my zed and he can provide an unbiased view of the Ksport BBKs performance and the handling of my zed in general as we had a 30mins blast in the country

Looks nice though Just different from the original which i like too

nice work Steve +1 on the front bumper and getting a race splitter will finish things off nicely for next season

Don't see the point in going square on the aftermarket wheels as you will have to run staggered tyres anyway. Its just going to be an extra weight penalty on the fronts. i am running 265 fronts and 295 rears on staggered 19x 8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels . this wheels are a tad undersized for these tyres but i have seen no adverse effects on fast road or tarck use using MPS2 N1 tyres which have a rigid side wall. however i reckon a softer side wall tyre like falkens will squirm alot and make the car less sure-footed so unless you are sticking with stiffer walled MPS2 tyres or the like the best wheel for these wider tyres should be at least a 9j up front and a 10j at the rear though 9.5j and 10.5j will be perfect. In your case if you want to run 275, it will be perfect for the 19x10j wheel and will not need rear arch rolling and 19x 9j in front will carry a 245 tyre nicely. All you need is to make sure you have the right ETs for a nice flush fit

there is an eye for the rear tow hook under rear bumper beneath the little square pull up tab. you tow hook is in the right trunk well with the jacks etc. just lift the platfrm between the boot and spare wheel compartment to get to it. Hope you have towed a vehicle before and the driver of the towed vehicle is competent if not it can end in tears Easy does it and anticipation is crucial. However if you mean like towing a caravan or trailer etc then there is no provision for this on the zed unless you customise one. frankly this is the wrong car for such menial tasks

New work chap keep the build posted.

Dan, excellent write up and review I aggree 100% with how you went around modding the car for your needs and these steps should help guide others in the quest to make the zed better I wish i have more time with the zed to actually try the chassis bracing and stiffer bushings. Power is nothing without control

Sorry about your woes Chris. These things happen. I had a very slow collision(5-10mph) with a kerb in a non-gritted hospital car park last december and i was shocked at the damage to the tyre, wheel and front lip. Cost me £500+ by the time all repairs were done i did get a discount for the wheel from Wolfrace I would'nt attempt any sort of repair on a bent cast alloy wheel like said already Speak with Dotz or their UK rep and i'm sure you can get the wheel replaced @ a discount

Go for it mate or should i say congratulations For me there is no question about geting the GTR over most cars out there for similar money but i would go for a standard color car (black or white ) and preferably one with mods done by MH. That color is lovely but could be very expensive if it needs to be resprayed for any reason Enjoy man

mate BTW you chose the right color Happy modding and zedding

The usual causes of this problem are: - gross tyre pressure mismatch - el cheapo tyres (low grip) - different tyre brands mismatch on same axle or both axles - wrong tyre sizes - tyre wear mismatch eg worn old fronts versus new rears - commonest culprit - "green" new tyres especially rears So it looks like in your case it could be any of the last 5 options More info of your setup will help clarify. if you just recently changed the rears then after a few hundred miles when these tyres get heatcycled they should offer more grip and break traction less. So go easy with your right foot with new tyres as recommend with any change of tyres

You are going to have a lot of fun pal

Bhav, - check there is no leaks by ensure all jubilee clips are tight - check the MAF sensor plug is clipped in all the way. - if all the above are ok and no other fitting oversight the CEL should not come again after ECU reset unless its something else.

i think you have got all the answers you need by the above members - soft side walls hence try upping the pressure.( add by 2psi per test) - needs to get heat cycled to give full grip (can take up to 500miles to do so depending on your mileage and driving style) - softer compound than the BS RE 040 (RE 050 are better) - You get what you pay for (Falkens are budget to midrange IMO) Just be patient and donot tamper with the geometry anymore until you have done the above. less you create another variable. But if you feel its understeer you are experiencing come back for help on geo settings to get rid of that

+1 on nismo veruspeed or oem. Its not rocket science...filters just hard cold marketing

This is unsual to say the least. Did you do it yourself? are the retaining clips in place? is there something that has not been put in correctly or loose? what about the disc condition? are you sure you got the right fitment for the zed?thats what you should be looking at if i where you i will take everything down, inspect fully and re-install. if everything is ok then put it down to the pad material though red stuff is not known to be squeaky

Looking good especially with the diffuser

Awesome work Taddy Ok you win!!! I ...........you have the stealthiest zed in the country Is the TS diffuser is a copy? i like it and the bonnet alot where from or what brands? BTW I think you need the bi-xenon lights to pull off completely the blacked out look and still have usable light output. I still like your wheels. hope you are sticking with them
