  1. I'm sure years back I saw a list showing the weight of standard 18 inch touring wheels Vs 18 inch Rays and the 19 inch LMGT4s. Of I remember correctly although the LMGT4s are light for 19s they are almost equal in weight to OEM 18" Touring ones. The 18" Rays were indeed much lighter!
  2. Welcome to the OC Nice zed with very tasteful bodykit. And who can say no to a lovely set of Nismo LMGT wheels to set it off You must be one of the members who has owned their Zed the longest at 14 years.
  3. Had a 2011 Kia Sportage from new when 2nd sprog arrived. Fitted 2 prams. Had nice high seats to load kids in their baby seats. Most of all wife liked it. Compared to the zed. Steering has no feel. Diesel engine sounds terrible. Wallows about on the bends.....even in high winds. BUT After 3 days of taxying the family around at the weekend, when I get back in the zed it's like love at first sight again. Furthermore the humdrum car makes me a more relaxed driver with the family aboard, cruising everywhere in the slow lane watching more interesting cars fly by in the outer lanes
  4. I remember the 2000 petrol crisis well. I achieved some amazing mpg figures back then and my wheels stayed clean for ages as I hardly used the brakes timing well in advance when to come off the gas to reach the traffic lights in the distance hoping they'd go from red to green by the time I reached them
  5. Top result. Another Zed back on the streets in all it's glory is always good
  6. The 4C goes as well as it looks
  7. The race starts from 7.00 after the usual "modded jap beats supercar" clips Veeg33 recognised the road and says it's the uphill road to the Genting Highlands Casino in Malaysia. Knowing premium car tax makes such cars 3-4 X the UK price in a land where incomes are 3-4 X lower than UK tells me these are spoilt rich kids who would just bribe their way out if caught Still I find myself irresistibly drawn to watching and enjoying the footage
  8. Good to know all's well with your ride. Most of the advisories I see posted regarding the zed is corrosion of the "W" brace but yours is brand spanking new so I knew there'd be no worries there
  9. Welcome to the OC from another Cheshire member. I'm at the border of S Manchester/Stockport. Whereabouts you based?
  10. Today I learned that a 2008 BMW 335i has no dipstick. And there was me thinking Nissan did a bad job of designing the dipstick on a DE.........but at least we have one! Call me old fashioned but I like the idea of checking my oil every couple of weeks :b
  11. Welcome to the OC and may I say what a mighty fine example you have
  12. Welcome to the OC Lovely deep red you have there.
  13. Can you imagine how long it would take to clean those wheels. The thought of doing a full decon in preparation for a ceramic type coating would fill me with dread. I'm thinking along the lines of boxer shorts and socks...... doesn't matter how nice they look, if the label says dry clean only, FORGET ABOUT IT
  14. Love those signs
  15. Welcome to the OC Careful that the cops don't pull your zed. It looks like it's been smoking weed and got REDEYE Enjoy the zed and the OC
  16. Love the attention to detail. The reflections off your back box are epic
  17. Thanks guys. Will order one off Torquen. Even if it ain't broke, probably due a change and then I'll book in for the garage to check over the issue later if it continues
  18. It's that time of year again
  19. According to this YouTube video this should be changed on Zeds around 10 years old. Have many other owners changed this out? I've recently been needing to top up my oil every 1 to 2 thousand miles. Zed is a 13 yr old DE Almost 60k on the clock. Had it from new and never abused from cold. Is it as simple as he shows in the video or are there things that could go wrong leaving my car stranded on the drive.
  20. I've been taking my zed to Lockwood and Greenwood at Ryecroft Road in Audenshaw for the past 10 years. Loads of members use them. In fact there's often other Zeds there when I go. The techs there have worked on more zeds over more years than any other Nissan main dealer I reckon as I think alot of zeds are only going to main dealers while in the first few years of life. After that people get fed up of the poor Nissan service and their high prices. Club discount too
  21. Welcome to the OC from another 05 owner
  22. If you cancel your policy for a certain length of time I vaguely remember thatyou may lose your NCB that you've built up so double check that first
  23. Now go out and buy a lottery ticket! Nice to hear a good ending.
