HEADPHONES

Have you collected your new ride yet? Probably too busy enjoying it but post up more pics when you get her home

That is one mighty fine zed you have there.

Enjoy your new zed. After years of ownership mine still brings a smile to my face every day.

Nice to see another sunset orange zed here. One of the easiest cars to find in a car park!

Welcome aboard. The OC really adds to the joys of Zed ownership. Glad you found it.

The pic at the bottom of page 3 showing some awesome reflections. Reminds me of the T 1000 bad guy in Terminator 2!

Love that black chrome finish. Those touring alloys are still a handsome design in my opinion. GLWTS

Those nuts look......well....THE NUTS Together with those slotted discs they make the wheels look even more tasty The OEM+ look is definitely a success. Just gave my Nismo rims a clean and seal today and despite having them for 10years I never feel the need for a change.

The download the list of codes that Superstu put up here to see what's going on

Until you get a code reader use the pedal dance to get codes. I bought this which saves alot of faffing about with the pedals https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/MS309-OBD2-Scanner-DiagnosticTool-Code-Reader-MaxiScan-Autel-Car-Tester-fo12/272838806097?hash=item3f8675ca51:g:rvsAAOSwBT9Zsk0D

My fully stretched belly and I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Eat responsibility everyone. One mouthful too many is all it takes

Definitely make your zed look one of a kind too

Helped me with airbag and O2 caused EML glitches reset. Saves me alot of faffing with the pedal dance. So the MaxiScan MS309 gets a from me

So Stealth & Classy So rare I bet people mistake it for a limited edition exotic. I wish I had one for long family trips when we need to carry the 2 kids.

I've had my zed 12 years now and am fortunate in having a good relationship with my independent garage thats been looking after our cars for 10yrs. They even try and source 2nd hand parts where it's an option. However, I know what you're saying about running costs. The consumables on our 11 Ur old Mini Cooper are verging on freeness in comparison to the zed. As it runs on diddy 15 inch OEM rims, the skinny tyres can be replaced for the price of one of the 19' rears of the zed It may not be in the same league as the zed but I still enjoy hooting around in it. I think the only time where I'd really say there's no joy is overtaking and joining motorways. So a downgrade need not be a life of misery. Got a friend with a stage 3 tuned R35 who used a £700 Ford Puma for commuting and loved how chuckable and worry free it was to own. Just the worries of buying a lemon as with any 2nd hand car though!

https://youtu.be/fl7ON1wnUlM Use the pedal dance above to delete and reset the ecu warning light. O2 sensor has thrown a wobbler about 5 or 6 times on my zed over the past 10 years. Luckily it's just been a glitch and runs fine for years before arising again. Obviously if the reset doesn't work there may be an underlying problem that needs fixing before the light will go out without returning.

Glad you've found a nice zed and found us on the OC. Feel free to post pics of your R33 for us to enjoy

Funny.....BUT TRUE!

Wow......that arch rust from a tiny pinprick! Did they say pinprick was from the paint surface or underneath the arch?

Looks like it's a pleasure to detail that Zed with the paint looking in great shape. I like the cheeky Mini lurking in the reflection too

Every couple months I top up 2 of our cars that my wife uses infrequently with this..... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00DW6RHN2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1512419632&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=aa+car+battery+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=51etw-dJujL&ref=plSrch Never left on indefinitely in maintenance mode. More hook it up for a day and let it top up to max then return and unhook it when the indicator shows its in trickle mode. Even charged up the zed when it was totally flat after forgetting to switch off the interior lights for a week! Cheap and cheerful bit still good after 2 yrs of regular use.

Congratulations on your acquisition. We need pics :b

The weekend is nearly here! I bet you'll be struggling to sleep with the excitement. Like a kid on Christmas Eve :wink: Hope the weather is good for you this weekend

Welcome to the OC. It's amazing how your white tyre lettering totally transforms the look of the Rays. Mean and purposeful. To quote SuperStu....."racecar"!

Sorry to hear of your loss. You can instantly see from that beautiful photo how much love there is there between you and your dad. My daughter is only 9 and the joy it brings having a common interest with her is immense. I can only imagine how proud and happy your dad must have been to be able to have you close by to share those special moments. I just hope my daughter will remain as close with me when she grows up as you two were.
