Bump

This is the real stuff! I have had it fitted for a few months now and the car sits in direct sunlight all day everyday and it hasn't faded one bit! It's new old stock, about 10 years old but never used! Would say it's more grey than black, I love the look of it. It has a vynl type backing with "alcantara" printed on the back with the authentic label somewhere!

I didn't want the fake stuff either due to the fadding issues, so I paid quite a bit of cash for it.

Not looking for much guys, compared to what i paid for it...make me an offer

Following on from another thread, I have to go just short of 9m of genuine alcantara fabric. I bought this from a guy on Ebay earlier this year and only used around 1m in the boot before selling the car.

The roll is 1.3m wide and is new old stock....see pics here viewtopic.php?f=56&t=25860 for an idea of the colour

Will be going on Ebay later this week if no takers here....open to offers

Cheers!

Infact just measured the roll and i have just short of 9m in length! Shocked i have used only 1m!

The roll is just over 1m wide, 1.33m i think...

Yep the real stuff...here is what i managed to get done before selling her...

viewtopic.php?f=56&t=25860

I have 7-8m squared left over from mine, same as that stuff on ebay, new old stock, so genuine stuff...someone make me an offer

You've bought a great car mate, i will be sad to see her go

Yep...and deposit taken last night (fellow forum member)

Thanks for all the comments guys, i am going to miss this car

Welcome mate...mine is for sale on here

Afraid no part ex unless its something real cheap i can use as a station car maybe. Ideally cash sale, but thanks for the offer

Ok here goes, i may regret this....

I am selling my Zed coupe, the car has become my daily commuter to the station over the last few months and its sad to see it sitting under a tree everyday

I have owned the car since April 2008, so guess i've had a good stint with it, time to move on and let somebody else enjoy her!

I'm the third UK owner. She is showing 51k on the clock, i bought the car with 40k and at the time the real mileage was around 35k, allowing for a few kms covered before being imported in 2004.

I began to cover the boot plastics in genuine Alcantara, as you can see from the pics. I love the look of it and planned to do more but i've run out of time and leaning over a work bench for several hours at a time meant my back wouldnt allow me to walk for a week after

I have approx 7metres of unused alcantara here, which can be included in the sale...i think it would look great finished! However just the bits that have been covered, make a vast difference!

The car was last serviced at Nissan @ 45k miles. All services since the car has been in the UK have been carried out by Nissan and i have loads of paperwork here for the car.

After fitting the Tein lowering springs not too long ago, i also fitted new front suspension top mounts and had 4 wheel alignment done too, along with any wheels that needed balancing. I can also include the standard suspension springs if needed.

Today i have fitted a new drivers window motor, which as we know is a common problem. Replacement passenger window was fitted not long before i bought the car last year.

Private plate will not be included in the sale.

I will be listing the car on Pistonheads in a few days. Priced at £10395 and im open to offers.

I'm sure i have missed loads! But please feel free to PM me or even better give me a call on 07595 527963. I am in Sevenoaks, Kent...right near Brands Hatch

Bought one from a guy on Ebay yesterday, fitted it this morning and all sorted

Looks like they are selling quite well! Details of mine will be on the forum tomorrow

Yep, Passenger (right) side needed...can be bought for around $220 on there inc p+p to the UK.

Any of you guys bought from there before? Its a Nissan dealer selling these, whats the deal with exchange rate if i pay through paypal...what rate will i get? Also, can i expect to pay customs charges do you think?

Thanks

Did you do this Dene8? There are loads on ebay.com...although which side i need to buy is now confusing me

Sorry to hijack, Lee sent you pm

Will do but i did see in another post he was out of stock.

Hills sell them for £175+ vat but they have none in stock too. Also, there is a company on Ebay that sells them, brand new for £270 +p&p. Cheap considering they are £400 plus from stealers.

Problem is....i may be selling the car soon

I need a new drivers side motor....anybody heard of or seen these before?

Thanks Alex, will get the car on a ramp again and take another look.

So if its the lower ball joint, i have to get new (banana shaped) arms to keep it OEM or buy uprated bushes to fit into the existing arms right?

How much for the complete arm alex, single or pair?

All, im tearing my hair out now with this problem

I have a 2003 JDM zed, 50k miles, I had fitted Tein lowering springs a few weeks back, a few days later i get a knocking noise from the n/s/f ...it went in to have the allignment and balancing done a few days later and they said i needed to replace the top mounts as they had play in them.

So i done this last week and all was great for a day or 2, car drives much better...infact better than it had for over a year or so, so i guess the old top mounts had been on there way out for some time.

Anyway, last couple of days the knocking noise re-appears.

My mechanic that fitted the springs and top mounts did mention that the lower ball joint has split/worn on the n/s/f too and tols that it could be pressed into one of the lower arms. But from using the search button i understand that the ARB's can cause a similar problem...right?

Also, the steering wheel now sits slightly to the left when driving down a straight road....last couple of days....please help!

i did take the rear z badge off to try painting it, prep'd it all as you should and painted it smooth silver...just looked cheap tbh

So now i have no rear badge...just 2 holes!!

mmm Carbon Fibre...how much for the pair?

My badges have weathered...not quite chrome effect anymore

Where can i get a pair of new or used, but in good condition, badges pls?

Think this is what i need....
