Hi Guys,

Car is now sold.

Please lock

Hi All,

Sad times, it is time to sell my beloved Fairlady Z after nearly 7 great years of ownership. The car is a 2002MY JDM import with 92,000 miles on the clock (35,000 are in km). The car comes with stack load of receipts and the original import documents.

The front and rear bumpers have had a re-spray to get rid of stone chips, and the wheels have also been recently re-furbished. The car has 6+ months left on the MOT (August 2017). Car always serviced every 9K miles and had the gearbox oil changed recently. Around 3mm left on the rear tyres and 5mm on the front, they are Bridgestone S001 on both axles.

The car is fairly standard, but the following mods have been performed:

• Tein S-Tech springs

• Assorted Whiteline PU bushes on the front and rear suspension

• K&N air filter

• EBC yellowstuff brake pads

• Braided hoses

• 10mm spacers front and rear

Please feel free to send a PM if interested. £5,250 OVNO

Do you have an oil pressure sensor also for sale?

I will take a coil pack

Always good practice to top up and bleed then repeat top up and bleed

That looks fairly good, is it any better than the Autosol polish?

WD40 then elbow grease along, then wash as standard works quite well.

I shall have to try one of these

I really think tyres are subjective, I feel that some people prefer razr sharp turn in and agility and others a rubbery more forigiving tyre.

Really like the Yellostuff, and had no issues with USR discs for road use. Haven't tried them on the track,but would be tempted.

Jpex have always given good service. Since having my car I have always had my car serviced there when they had space

Hi Ekona, I am looking for a back box, mid-pipe to connect to the y-pipe. Although the y-pipe is also being offered in the sale. Basically looking for a straight swap as my mid-pipe and back box joint have failed, but have already had a section welded in, so the flange that usually mates the two is missing.

Hello All, this may sound like a silly question... I have seen a 2007 exhaust for sale on this forum, but I wanted to know whether it would easily fit a 2003 JDM car?? Many thanks, Al

Thanks Alex,

I shall give this a try.

Thanks for your help guys! Getting the multimeter on the sensor it appears to be reading fine, so I'm thinking it maybe an earthing issue somewhere?

Agree that if the oil pressure was genuinely that high or had gone that high then the engine would have stalled and hoses would have popped off lol.

Hi All,

I was driving at the weekend, and all of a sudden my oil pressure shot passed the max reading, which if a genuine pressure reading would have meant the engine would have gone pop! The car is running fine apart from the gauge having gone bonkers. I figure its either an earthing issue or some detioration of the electrical connection in the gauge.

I'm not sure what the main problem is but was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem?

Cheers,

Al

Hi All,

I am looking for a standard or Scorpion exhaust as my current one is nearly shot.

Many thanks,

Al

Personally I perfer them to the RE050A that I had on all round. The are slighty snappier in the wet but I found more feedback and grip if you are a smooth driver. In the dry they offer more precision at the expense of a little progression, which I am more than happy with.

Hate floppy side walls like the T1-R, it is not really a true feel of where the tyre is at in terms of grip

Hi Sub,

I am based in Hertfordshire, so would be bit of a trek. Thanks for the offer, I would love to have a lok around one.

Hi Dave,

Thats an interesting avenue I havent thought about.....

Thank you for the idea

Audi TT... would just be a step too far!

A Golf may be better

Thanks for the input guys.

I realisitcally dont want to spend too much, so really the trade in on the Zed circa £6500, I guess.

I would like something that won't need too much spending it on, but is frugal when crusing. I guess the S2000 is an option as Japex are fairly knowledgable about servicing

Hi Guys and Gals,

After nearly 3 years of awesomeness I am thinking of selling the Zed due to house move and longer to commute. The thing is what do you replace it with

I need something equally fun but a tad more frugal. I've thought about the following:

1) An S2000 but not really that much of an improvement on frugality as you need to thrash it to get anywhere

2) A VW GTi but costs a fortune to find one with reasonable mileage

3) A Scoob Impreza - not really that much of an improvement frugality wise.

4) VX220 / Elise - will be in the garage every other week, Georgie the lab wont like the seats.

5) Cooper S JCW - Has the frugality but I have worries about the gearbox

Argh the list is endless......

Has anyone got any ideas?

Al

He he eh totally agree. When I logged onto the petition to sign it, it came up with the message " Sorry we are experiencing higher than expected demand"

I'm waiting for a review comparing the new Bridgestone S-04 before pulling the trigger.

The S-04 is known as the S001 in Europe

I have just put a set on and they are better than the optimumly worn (just into the indicators) RE050A that I had on, I thought I had better change as the police wouldn't like them. A bit more precise and greater overall grip I would say.

I have read a lot of positive comments about the Michelins but not any personal experience.
