spotted a gun metal zed passing me today was standard but nice to see another one around my neck of the woods!

throw a PM to chat bout local traders n sh*te!

Also were can i get one of these airbox's?

thanks again peeps

lol, feel i have started something here!!

well the info is good, i mean you guys are dedicated like, i only thought putting some direct cold air into the airbox would help heat soak and also possibly help low range driving because it is more direct?

im tempted to get one and see if it does help and then maybe get a uprev 06> airbox with a K&N panel filter, hopefully it will keep everything cool and maybe give the lower gears a smoother ride.

i meen with the nostrel inlet do you get a diffrence in the lower gears due to more direct air whilst moving at lower speeds?

thanks again for all the replys such a gud site!!

hi, thanks for reply

yeah i have seen these but a bit reluctant to cut a hole in me bumper, would prefer to cut the grill because easier to replace if need be, the one i am looking at is this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0484389825

it has a black inlet tip

its alot cheaper aswell

hi all,

was thinking of a cheap and effective way of improving cold air to the airbox, so was considering buying a cold air feed pipe with a inlet duct coming from the grill and then feeding into the airbox, i have seen a black one which would look ok on the grill for 20 squid!

the tubing is 80mm, which will slot perfectly into the hole for the intake to the airbox and then cut a small bit out from grill, and slot the inlet through it to the tube.

will it help with cold air getting to the airbox and what you guys think of the inlet comming through the grill?

thanks

cheers all,

i had a go today, didnt turn out the greatest but covered up as much as i could, i used thenissan touch up and had to put a canny few layers on until it had filled the chips, and then put the clear coat on, i was looking at a previous post about using sand paper on the touch up and then buffing it up, but to be honest i dont think i have the balls to sand the paint and hope that it buffs out!!lol

it will have to do for now but i spoke to a bodyshop at the weekend and he offered to paint the bonnet and bumper for 300 biffs and put a clear plastic coating on it to reduce chips!!, might do it but to be honest i aint got enough stone chips to justify spending that much money!!

thanks again

hi all,

noticed today that the left speaker on the door was cutting out!

unfortunatly my warranty doesnt cover electrical issues!!(mug)

so what is the best way to rectify this problem so it stops cutting out?

hope someone can help!

thanks

Heya all,

driving down to town today and passed a lorrie and seen some bit of crap fly over the bonnet!

the wife thought it was a bee

but after getting to town i was straight out to see a lovely couple of chips into me black bonnet!

right in the middle as well!, ill get a cpl of pics up so you can see the damage!,

i already have a halfords touch up paint kit with the primer and the paint, but also bought a nissan touch up paint kit, aint sure which one to use and scared to do it just in case i f***k it up!

any tips and trick you guys use would help, the car colour is Kuro black and both the kits have the colour codes on them that match the one for the car so i might give it a pop!!

Thanks all

Hi all,

i poped into a companie called Litchfield tuning yesterday which is just around the corner to me, he refered Abbey saying exactly what you guys have said that there s only two in the country,

i asked him about performance upgrades and he said the best thing to do is get a new exhaust and a remap and that would be the best for ur buck, he said all the small changes you do with intakes and spacers dont really change the performance that much, he said an induction would change the BHP but its an exspensive upgrade!,

on that one what is the best exhaust to get?

hope all can help!

heya guys,

searched about n cant seem to find a thread on the installation of an inlet duct for the bumper?, i mean should i take it to a bodyshop and asked them to cut a hole so it could just fit?

or is it more costly to install?,

i reckon the inlets are the key to improving the air intake!!

hope someone can add some info on installation!!

thanks

Hi all,

So to clarify, changing the air panel filter from the OEM filter doesnt actually improve performance?, instead maybe fitting an air intake hole i.e Nostrel, or something of that nature to improve the air intake as a hole would improve the performance?, i ask because im tempted to get a panel filter but mine is a brand new OEM and aint gonna bother if it aint gonna improve the performance!

cheers guys

thanks all,

again you guys manage to come to the rescue!!lol

i had a lokk around n found this thread

viewtopic.php?f=35&t=16644&p=428392&hilit=belts#p428392

it shows you how to test n adjust the belts so i will have a look tomoz, if the belts do need replacing ill PM ZMANALEX for a new set

thanks again guys n hope this thread will help any other users!!

thanks for the fast reply guys, Aux belt is situated wear and can i do it myself or will i have to get some one to do it?, it has been raining a bit lately so i reckon moisture could have a bit to do with it!

thanks again chaps

Hi all,

im not to sure were to post this please move if in wrong topic,

i started my motor this morning to give it a clean and i moved it about 20 meters in to a clear spot and upon moving i dipped the clutch pedal in and the engine started to squeek!! ,

i had heard it before on the wifes car on start up and i thought it could be the belts or summink, i have had the car a month now and done around 600miles, this is the first time it has happened

if it is the belt can i get it sorted?

any info on this would be appreciated

thanks all

HMMM, nice car mate, how old is it?

hi all,

just wondering is there anyway of finding out if my zed is restricted?, just curious cos i read that the top speed on the zed is 155mph (restricted)

i aint gonna get it up there if i want my liscence but just wondering!

i went to a local auto shop, and got loads for 12p each, just asked them for bodywork clips and they pulled a tray oot and i just picked the ones i wanted, i realised my front protector and wheel trims were missing loads!!

but better trying a local small auto shop its the cheapest way!

hope it helps

hi,

thanks all

Speaking as car DIY novice, I can fully recommend on changing the oil yourself, it's really easy to do.

 

Also, I've just had a P3 service on mine and took it to Nissan in Slough. They did it for £220 including a courtesy car for the day but I did provide the oil. Would really recommend them if your in the area.

yes mate i went to chelts and the gave me that qoute which seems ok!

so i will change the oil as soon as i hit 3k its fully synthetic what types the best for the engine?

lol have a few territorial issues going on!!

ill try n do the leg work n then hand it over to the orginisers, aint sure how much i can sway the military but if i can i will!!

Will do just have to ring the army camp that is next to it and check there happy, im away all weekend but will get to it next week i promise!!lol

Im sure its un used, i did some charity event there were we had to run up and down the 1.5mile strip dragging a 8ton bomb truck!!lol

All ur knowledge is welcome, thankyou for the advice

I say 8-9000 because it had a p1 about a week ago n reckon ill get the miles up before the year!!lol

but will deffs look at the oil change sooner.

is it easy enough to do urself or should i get a garage to do it?

so were n when is the next meet?, im up for it like,

i might be able to get something hooked up at abingdon air field cos i know a few guys that work there, but will have to lias with the organiser Ians16 first!
