SHEZZA

Ha that's what you get for posting in a rush. Haha

Six years of owning my zed, cars nines years old now and it's never had any advisories. Touch wood

Corrected that for you !

Six years of owning my zed, cars nines years old now and it's never had any advisories. Touch wood

Come on guys, it's just the bare essentials to tidy her up a bit...

 

At least, that's how I justify it to myself

 

Next to go in.

 

Haha yep that's how it starts though after you've done those bits you'll be looking for things to do !

Thought I'd share mine to help,then noticed the one on the front is wrong in position and different style ! Argh list keeps getting bigger. Haha though I do like it in the position it is.

I have a spare grab handle.

Having bought my Zed in 2008 I joined in 2009 to get advice and with a thought of getting to meets etc. picked up loads of advice along the way, though for some reason never got round to introducing myself and never got to any meets, until this year when zeditis finally took hold and decided to stop lurking (when it was suggested to me about selling my car as it's hardly used )and get to every meet possible. Wales , LakeZ , ZedFest to name a few. Only wish I'd done it sooner ! Six years on I'm still loving the zed and this newly found forum !

Always wanted one of these ! If I hadn't not long bought my invidia I'd be all over it.

Haha you'd have to be up early to beat ken to cleaning his car !

I know its not life or death (unless I choose Linglongs) but they will be on there for a good few years so want to make sure I don't end up with a car that looses it in the wet.

 

I have priced up some of the common ones (best price):

Kumho KU39: £330 + Fitting = £390

Eagle F1: £480 + Fitting = £540

Falken 453: £406 + Fitting = £466

Hankook S1: £419 + Fitting = £479

 

So it is quite a saving going for the Kumho's but is the saving worth the decrease in grip, that's what I can't work out

Quite a saving there, though like you say if there gonna be on for a good few years is it not worth paying that little bit extra. May work out cheaper in the end ?

Here's a link for boot struts. I got the uprated ones as I have a nismo spoiler.

Another great meet Mitz had had a great day meeting and chatting to fellow zedders. Even got those anoying dings removed from my doors. Couldn't look at one point and well when he got the hammer out that was my que to go get a drink. Haha turned out well though That's one more thing off the to do list.

Mark

He should pay you some commission for that GM. Haha

Yes You'll need a syringe to refill the gearbox oil, before draining though make sure you can remove the refill plug before removing the drain plug. Got my syringe from machine mart.

10 litres of coolant is what you'll need for a complete swap. The genuine nissan stuff is premixed so no need to dilute.

I'd highly recommend the Invidia Gemini system Hougenie. It's what I bought for mine and is fantastic with no drone whatsoever.

 

The Cougar Store or Tarmac Sportz are both very good traders that can sort you out a good deal on your new exhaust system I'm sure.

+ 1 having had my invidia supplied by Tarmac and fitted by the cougar store I can highly recommend it and them too. As for budget yes the invidia is more than the cobra but it is the full cat back system so no need for a y pipe. so if you did need to change the y pipe at some point the full cobra system doesn't work out much cheaper.

Samco hoses supplied and fitted today by Mitz and Andy at the cougar store. Cheers lads. Redline styling cooling plate, missing a clip because I broke it ! Ermmm Ewen! Oh and a few visible red engine bay bolts fitted a while back supplied by Chris at Tarmac.

I can offer a free straight swap

Or a straight swap. Haha

Plus you could swap with someone with standard cats and cash in your pocket. Its a win win situation.

I'd steer clear of the japspeed k2 as there is fitment issues with them. I found out the hard way ! I've now got the invidia Gemini exhaust with berk Hfc's and love it not too loud unless you want it too be and with no rasp at all or drone at cruising speeds . Can't comment on the cobra , but like you say buy the time you've bought the y pipe (cobra) at about £700 complete for another £150 you can get the invidia. When I bought my berks on the last group buy from Tarmac i also bought the the exhaust at the same time and Chris did me a good deal on that too. There's a group buy on the berks at the moment so it's well worth a PM to Tarmac.

Very nice car, rare kit and colour combined. That reminds me though I must remove my awful cheap standard 350z nismo stickers off my GT with nismo body kit and get some juke ones. Haha

I know ken has berks with his stock exhaust, though he's up Doncaster way. May be worth a PM to him.

Welcome to the forum Joel. You'll need a stubby aerial next (if it doesn't already have one)

 

I have one, but it's not exactly amazing, don't suppose you can recommend a decent one?

Welcome to the forum. An RDX stubby is the way to go. PM Tarmac sports or Redline styling.

Nice find just reserved one too. Been meaning to get a new trolley jack for a while. Got some stands too

Pm Redline styling.

I'll be there Mitz with a + 1 and will be eating.
