  1. I can feel your pain, I had exactly the same issue when I bought my JDM . There is no way of changing the current equipment you have to work. I have just had the screen taken out and had a touch screen installed in the cubby. It looks totally stock and works great . I have taken the DVD unit out from behind the drivers seat (just need to find a blanking plate now). If you look up Custom Sat Navs in the for sale section you will see what I have had installed (mine was the first one to be done, by Nurrish). If you are anywhere near the Midlands fitting is included in the price as well. Quick question for you, is your cubby automatic? Mine goes up when the ignition is switched on and drops again when turned off. Not many around if you have that!!
  2. Even on Fifth Gear they only launched from 2500rpm!!!!
  3. Definietly sounds like you have been busy. you might have Nurrish beaten as not managed springs or HKS yet. Maybe a job for tomorrow as well. Once you have finished yours if you fancy practising your wax record breaking time I will happily loan you my Zed.
  4. Tried to fit the above to my JDM this afternoon (well Nurrish did!! ) and after following the wiring diagram from the Z-store.co.uk the car wouldn't start and had the below syptoms: Engine fan constantly on Light for TCS off illuminated Slip light illuminated Does anyone know why this would have happen even though the wiring diagram was followed? Cheers Grant
  5. I just push mine off from the back. When putting it back on I just used some clear silicone because I didn't have any glue handy.
  6. £231.50 all in Cheers Gaz, will be in touch at the end of the month when I get paid. Something new to play with!!
  7. M3 is miles better, you should definitely buy one..................................dibs on your spacers and exhaust!!
  8. Antoher Yeah I am probably the only 28 year old that owns 2 houses and lets his parents in live 1 of them rent free!!! Just imagine what my Zed would be like if I rented it out!! I would probably be single though for spending too much money on it!!
  9. Going to Corfu the last 2 weeks of Sept. First holiday this year after buying another house and the Zed. Can't wait, just need to chill for a week. Plus when I get back I can spend some more money on the Zed as the missus will have had what she wants!!
  10. Try Nurrish on here as he has just fitted a custom Sat Nav in my JDM and he replaced the buttons and joystick panel with a blank facia front. Don't know where he gets them from though.
  11. Cheers Gaz, how much delivered?
  12. Hey peeps, I am wanting a 5/16" plenum spacer and a polished plenum (or advice on somewhere that will polish it around the midlands (or better Leamington Spa)) Thanks for any help Grant
  13. Older ones are only 276bhp as standard and the new engine puts out 313bhp as standard. All around the right sort of range for the ages. Happy with only a 7bhp loss considering age and I was running crappy fuel!!!!
  14. As a comparison I have a JDM 53 and only have a K&N Typhoon and my results were 268.9HP and peak tq was 270. It was a warm day and i was last to go on the dyno after 5/6 other Zeds. I was also running standard unleaded so hoping that now I am running better fuel I would get slightly better results. There was another Zed there that got low 260s Hp though if that makes you feel any better?!?
  15. I always thought it was something that was done behind the speedo and rev unit. Not 100% sure but think thats where the chip is located. There has to be something around there to change the rate at which the speedo goes up and to change the digital Kilometers to Miles. Don't quote me on that though!! I would just keep guessing your speed and fuel though at that price!! Hope you have sold your wheels, your going to need the money at this rate. Hope you get it sorted soon matey.
  16. Hmmm , how could I refuse!!!
  17. I already have it so will sell tickets for viewing!!
  18. Welcome to the gang. Pop up where you are from and see if anyone close wants to show you there Zed and have a chat.
  19. I have the iPhone and a blackberry pearl for work. The blackberry is terrible as a phone but good for email usage. The iPhone is just great in everyway in my opinion. Unless it's for business use then I would say iPhone everytime.
  20. Right, I managed to create enough room at the top of my dials by taking the top cover off and slightly pulling the plastic forward. I got myself just enough room to get some tweezers through (not mine, they were the missus'!!!! ). Pulled the sticker off and look what was waiting for me behind.........................an engine management light. Moment of truth , turn the ignition key and it came on, started the car and it went off . This to me is a good sign and hopefully means there is nothing wrong with the car. I still don't understand why someone would do that though .
  21. Winner, free mesh but a kit that doesn't fit (probably)!!!!
  22. You will be lucky to see any gains from swapping the filter though as the ECU will cancel them out. Plus I would be surprised if you actually got about half of those gains even without the ECU issue. My K&N only claimed between 7&8bhp gain on the instructions.
  23. Plus I have that scratch, might as well change the bumper instead of just having it sprayed!!!
  24. Even at $300 it would still only be around £500 delivered. Still pretty good. The plan is to save while its in hibernation over the winter and then do everything in preperation for next summer. Just do a one hit job and get wheels, spacers, body kit, engine, headunit etc.
  25. I want something that is understated so it doesn't change the look too much. Not much difference on the front but I really like the back bumper. Seen this kit on other websites and found it for $499. Thats a bargain. I need to do something, be rude not too!!
