ballistic

LOL at the posts

I might be the only one on here that has a good idea what he's gonna do, as he told me when i met him

Hope you're happy with it when it's finished mate

Hello mate.... have you fitted it yet?

Yep its all fitted, will get some pics up when i get a chance to take some. Looking forward to seeing yours too.

Yo blacky, (im the one who bought your old N1) im glad to see you have started the project, hope it turns out well

Am i being followed

Yes they managed to do it all, i havnt seen it in the daylight yet, but it looks good so far

If you wanna have a look drop me a PM

Good to know

As for seeing the car perhaps we can arrange something once its done

Nice one sounds like its almost ready then

No worrys, I live in the area but i cant say for certain i've seen yours yet, im sure i have seen an orange one though so might have been you, i will keep a better eye out

I dont think the bodyshop owner is into the modifying scene etc (nismo/veilside etc) but he came highly recommended as a top bodyshop from a mechanic freind of mine who works for a garage. He said when they want excellent work done, usually on expensive customer cars, they take them to him instead of other bodyshops they use as he is just a cut above, so i thought i would give it a shot. Also driving past i noticed he always has expensive cars in for repair too. Have you heard differant about his work?

Wow small world, mines getting a full nismo N1 fitted by a garage on chigwell Road (which comes under woodford i think?), its GM and JDM and a 2005 54 plate

Hope the shop owner didnt strap on a veilside he had sitting around instead

+1 on oz Superleggera III i rekon. Forged 3 piece rims

almost 1k per wheel for our sizes

Very nice

TBH im not doing all that much, so its not gonna look as good as yours. But i do plan to do a small progress thread, plus if i dont Anders will kill me.

Anyway you shouldnt feel too down mate, at the end of the day you had a good run doing your car, and it was awesome, now your moving on, the parting out has gone quite well too so its win win. Plus the standard zed is not all that bad is it

It will look fine, especially for track........ dont be so prissy!

What about mounting 2 in pillar pods and one in the OEM gauges

don't take this too hard mate! there could be a ton of reasons why it underperformed and may not represent the cars true Hp figure. you would expect to see 240 - 250 whp on the rev up though.

i would say get all your mods sorted and go for a remap with Uprev or you can get my UTEC EMS for about the same money and unlock the cars true potential. I got a GT4 too and had all the same mod you want to go for

Thanks for your reply mate.

I think i misunderstood your initial statement above, I read it to mean that you can remap with Uprev or to unlock the true potential use UTEC, thus i was interested to know why you thought the UTEC would do more to unlock the potential than the uprev.

But i think you ment that to unlock the true potential of the car's mod's you need to map it. Which i completely understand.

Regarding the brakes i saw your reply, thanks . I also read about them over at the Evo forum, they seem to rate them in general.

Sorry to go off topic!

To OP: I would agree that that your would be better to run in the gear closest to 1:1 ratio, which i think is 4th or 5th? And a remap will help too.

Nah i dont need another Zed thanks

But you now you can still go down the route your thinking with the G if you know what i mean

Ahhh the quest for more power

I the best thing to do it try to test drive/get driven in an FI zed and the M3 your interested in or whatever else and compare the two.

If you go with FI than a big money saver is to get a quality second hand kit as mentioned above and enjoy the power hike, should be looking at around 400bhp.

Thats good news

Let me know when your coming to pick i up then so i can have it ready for you

I've got a week off work in 2 weeks time & I'll be starting to strip the car then

I would like 1st dibs on the whole BBK (front and back), you have a PM.

Thanks mate

But im hoping i can land a genuine one before i go for a copy

I would have thought somone out there might have one

Nice one, looks great, too shinky to capture

Im looking forward to doing one of these stints on my zed. Did it on my gloss red skyline not so long ago and it came out brilliant. Not sure how it will come out on GM, i prefer gloss colours.

The strosek is nice, but not what im looking for

Anyone got whats in the title?
