HEADPHONES

A true fan........ returning with a second Zed

Can't beat some nice beading If it's as easy as you report, it only needs to last until the next wash and you can give it another "blast" as long as it doesn't work out too expensive for you.

I got sent this top tip today and cracked up If you glue a dead wasp to your palm, You can slap your boss at the back of his head as hard as you want and act like you saved him.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who washes the car at night Round my way the council fitted rubbish LED street light replacements. They must be 2w or something as the street looks so much gloomier. This was years ago so I reckon like all technology things have moved on and you and Coldel are luckily getting the new stuff.

Looking good there ready for Valentine's Day. Ps good shout on the alcohol swabs. My missus always has plenty of those in and I'm almost out so saves me buying more

So we've all probably noticed how the driver's door will often swing shut if left partially open. We've also all heard of how delicate the finishing material is on the interior door handle. After 15 years ownership I wondered why it is that my interior door handles haven't scratched to kingdom come. It's because often I don't actually open the door to the max meaning I hop on and it closes itself. Then on opening from the inside I normally push on the handle with a flat palm so no scratching from fingernails. So the self closing doors do have a plus point of sorts

According to my uncle in the far East, it's not a Zed or a Zee....... it'll always be a FAIRLADY

That zee was damn fast. Love the look and sound of that car

Very rare colour. Must be getting alot of attention driving that zed. Even the personalized plate is class Definitely need to post up more pics of that beauty

Literally JUST watched a Panorama documentary on this. Horrific video footage of cars broken down on live motorways with no hard shoulder to escape to. Just sitting ducks with an average wait time of 37 minutes before help arrives. Dashcam footage showing the car Infront swerving at the last minute avoiding a stationary car ahead leaving the camera car literally a millisecond to follow suit as the stationary car appears in view like a brick wall. Just pure luck the cars didn't sideswipe the middle lane cars as they swerved. Another fatality was on a flyover with no embankment to escape to. Just sat like sitting ducks. 42 seconds later they were hit from behind killing the poor kid sitting in the back. Very very sad

Just in case you've not seen the sunset orange under NON FLATTERING light, here's a few photos of mine where the paint looks dead and a bit Meh Even freshly cleaned the orange isn't saying much. But under the sun..... In a car park... Or at night... I wouldn't have ANY other colour

There are good old 350's out there. They don't all fall apart after 15 years. Just recently Parsonby sold his gunmetal DE zed with a mere 30k miles on it that looked as fresh as they come. I think the big issues with older zeds would be corrosion (arches, underbody braces and suspension) and smoking engines and gearbox failures. Sunset orange is very dependent on the ambient lighting. Under the sun or fluorescent lights I wouldn't choose any other colour as I reckon it stands out like a Candy paint. Bit on an overcast day it can look like it's just covered in pollen. If you've seen it in the flesh and really love the colour, have a look at some older ones and hopefully you'll find a gem

I can only imagine what that engine must sound like when you give it the beans!

Where abouts are you based? If in the Manchester area I could pop down in my ginger to see what it's like fit wise. My bad...... didn't read the original post well enough

All you need is 3cm clearance each side and you'll be fine. 6 inches is nearly 7.5cm each side which is plenty if you follow this guys model....... ........and he's well old!

Welcome to the OC and happy hunting

On the original PlayStation it has to be Wipeout Enjoyed GT4 on the PS2. Never really got into Gran Tourismo as much on the PS3 as the PS2, but I really enjoyed Race Driver Grid on the PS3. That was the last racing game I ever bought so I'm not really qualified to say anymore

My brother had a parking ticket slapped on his SUV outside his house! Hope that's the end of it and they don't start keying cars

Welcome to the OC As said.......pics needed

And here's a narrow kit

Here's the wide one at a meet I was at.

There were 2 kits if I remember. One was full monty with arch extensions etc increasing the width and one without. Used to be a lass on here years ago with a blue one without the extensions. Saw it a couple tes and I thought it looked good. But the wide one has more presence

This OC is one of the reasons I think I've kept the zed nearly 15 years. It's a great place with fantastic members some of which are still actively helping members long after they've sold up and moved onto other cars. I'd try not to pigeon hole your search. Over the years I've seen zeds advertised with a very wide variation in quality. From the early DE models with well over 60k and 10 years under their belt, looking pristine and we'll maintained, to zeds that are under 60k and 10 years old with leather seats worn to buggery, rusted arches and undercarriages, with slipping clutches. So buy on history and condition and don't rule out the older ones.

Ooooo....new acquisition. We need pics!

Welcome to the OC At this age, many Zeds have had a new exhaust due to corrosion at the flange just behind the backbox that joins it to the midpipe. Saying that, I've cleaned there regularly over the past 14 years on my zed and the original exhaust is still fine! If it is falling apart here you could use it to haggle a little off. It's no biggy as you can either get a stainless system from Scorpion, Cobra, Miltek, invidia etc or just pay a shop to weld a piece of pipe in to replace the flange. Mine's just gone over 60k and needed new banana arms as I was getting a knocking noise from front wheels going over bumps at slow speed. Can't remember how much these were but better searching for Mooge aftermarket ones than Nissan OEM as they are about half the price. Rear boot may not stay up as the struts age......so careful when checking the boot in case it falls on your neck like a guillotine!
