any pics of the rear ?

Fitted my throttle controller today , and i must say for the money im very very impressed ! Gives the Z more of an aggressive thump of power somehow especially on SP7 Setting , i was a bit sceptical about getting one but it just works. Im in love with SP7 setting ! , should be like this from factory ! So another thumbs up for this controller , this has got to be an absolute must mod for the Z I know it doesnt give you any more power but the car definately feels quicker and improves the overall driving experience which is what its all about. Quick question tho , im assuming on 'nor' setting this is basically reverting to factory settings as if the controller is not fitted ? also i didnt get the grey plastic plugs above the accelerator pedal to click together, i definately have them the right way round but just expected them to be a better fit with a positive click ?

i use the menzerna range - This sample kit is very good http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing ... d_220.html i tend to use this polish the most out of the kit - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing ... d_217.html very good all rounder and will get you good results with the Da polisher with a polishing pad. look at this chart for comparison , i found it quite usefull http://www.auto-geek.net/charts/wax-cut ... master.htm The 85rd by the way hasnt as much cut as the 106fa , its good for very light swirls, i use to use it but moved to the 106fa as it has more cut and quicker results. The 85rd is good for using after the 106fa if required , or after you have corrected your Zed with 106fa you may only regularly need the 85rd

very very nice , where did you get your nismo sticker from ? its a bit smaller than the nissan one ? did the bumper need any sanding or prep before paint ?

looks good !

OK, Y-pipe now fitted. It's pretty much as Yokomo said: only marginally louder, a little more aggressive and a tad raspier. Haven't really tried yet, but feels a little re urgent. Cheers, Alex thanks for the feedback , mine turned up this week and looks good , just need to pluck up the courage to brave the cold and get the tools and grinder out

what do people do when fitting side skirts and rear spats , get them sprayed then fit to the car, or fit first fill in any imperfections with tiger seal etc then get the kit sprayed on the car in a booth ? do nismo style skirts and spats bolt on or do they need bonding with tiger seal or similar ?

Top man , you will have to post some sound clips with that set up !

Nice ! how much did you pay ?

yeah i had real joy doing the K2 so expecting a world of hurt again with the Y pipe Got my grinder now too will see how the sound is after the Y pipe , i already have the 06 airbox and drop in filter , may get a Typhoon kit just for the sound...must resist..

lovely colour

Just bought one to go with my K2 which i fitted last month I take it these also flow better than stock ?

ahh right cheers got my info wrong by reading this thread viewtopic.php?f=53&t=16410&hilit=gear+knob

I thought the Z was M12 ?

Thinking of getting a new gear knob looking at the HKS one , anyone had one ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... TQ:GB:1123 http://driftshop.com.au/interior_files/hksd11.jpg Anyone had a golf ball style shifter on the Zed ? just wondering if you were happy with the feel compared with the stock one?

out of interest what impreza did you get ?

going a week on sat for an over nighter , looking forward to it

seen this ? red black zed here

i have them on mine , they were on when i bought the car a couple of months ago and they are still nearly new , they are coming off very shortly as the grip is poor which kicks in the traction regularly in the dry for the slightest thing also you need spare trousers if driving on damp roads even driving carefully which has really knocked my confidence in the Z, you have to be so carefull with these on. going for falkens soon or will probably stump up the extra for bridgestones or similar, out of all the tyres i have had over the years these are poor.

had a lot of work done by spraycraft in the past highly recommended http://www.spraycraftdeesideltd.com/

yep mine pulls hard to the redline , i assumed it was because he let off before the 7000rpm redline ? I think hub dynos are the way to go next time !

would like to see some pics of the black zun sport grille !?

I also think this is a good idea , they have whats the worst or best mod threads on other forums , would be good to have this all in one place
