Hi Folks - Any of you have a stray rear Avon ZZ3 for sale? 245 45 18" I cant get one for love nor money anywhere in the UK. The last place just let me down Just want it short term until i can get a new matched pair Cheers

i bought the same but wired for about half the price. Must say very pleased with it. Had a problem reading an older 3 series diesel but everything else has been fine.

Thanks, There is a couple on there but some of these salvage blokes want crazy money. Dunno why, for a rareish car there seems to be a lot of heavily smashed zed's kicking about

any one got one front kicking about. has one but i just seeing if there is anyone who has a spare. London area and can collect.

i may be after 1 front. PM'd

Got one now - thanks all

I have had mine a couple of months now and it seems that the same gripes and plusses come up the whole time. I agree that it is deceptively fast and have found myself out of the bounds of the law a couple of time (a day!) I can forgive, in fact i kind of like a slightly shabby interior and pants radio - it has a Japanese charm all of its own. My main problem is the heavy clutch and general weightyness of the machine; I have been using it as my daily driver and sitting in traffic its a bit of a dog. I can see why so many have it as a second car. In its element its brilliant, but around town my missus' 1series bimmer diesel beats it hands down for real world speed and driveability. I knew it was a proper car that you had to make allowances for and i shouldn't be surprised. Fuel consumption is an issue too but i didnt expect any different. Worthwhile purchase? Park next to an audi tt like i did last night and its worth all the gripes and pain. Find a nice bit of b-road and 16mpg just fades into insignificance. Sneek a peak out the window at it and try not to grin. Cant wait to play with it on my first track day in the summer......

No dice from Pimm; anyone else?

Need a bluetooth adaptor. The one i got cheap off ebay was rubbish!

Computer saying 16 odd mpg. I put £80 in it and got about 200 miles but it was just on the red light. I do all urban driving, commuting etc. I think a full tank from brimming to empty should hit 250 miles. Mine is chipped + Spacer. Only had it a month and i am still "enjoying" driving it.

Jez was very highly regarded when I owned my 200sx. He was meant to be able to get the best out of ecu mods and just "got" it.

They are good - I picked up an active cradle for my blackberry off ebay cheap and i thought i would fit it to the zed. pictures when i do.

Its only £15 but i thought i would ask on here first.

It hurts how much i have spent keeping some of these going 350z Merc C200K Estate (yawn) Subaru Forester Turbo S Civic Vti Ford Sportka Honourable mentions go to S12a 200sx Almera Gti Xsara VTS Cherry 1.3 gs I like nissans - just sayin'

Cheers - more daylight this weekend!

Thanks i tried it today - it was a dog of a job. Got as far as removing all the plastic then couldn't get the final bit off that covers the speakers - then it started to get dark. I will not be defeated, try again on my next day off!

Thanks for the info, I knew there wasn't many options for the ZED but i was curious. Sorry about the VIN thing; schoolboy error.

Mine is UK non gt. I assumed there was some dealer fit and special order extras that the vin would tell you. I'm Just curious really. What started it off was that my rear speakers don't work (non bose) i just wanted to know if they were fitted before I took the car apart!

I have just found this guide for rear speaker removal - useful http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Tutorial ... el_Removal

When I was on a merc. forum there was a couple of guys who knew what exact spec you had by the vin number. Does anyone know if this is possible with the zed?

thanks for that - on the look out for a cheap pair....

Sorry to bump this but did it ever get an answer? Would like to do the same myself and there is enough out there with scrappies. I guess the question is can you uk model heated seats in a non GT spec car?

Glad its a "quirk" Will have to learn to double de clutch properly now, then teach mrs drivebyabuser......

My Cup holder was broken when i got the car (55 plate coupe if that makes any difference). Anyone got one lying in a drawer somewhere? Is it easy to fit?

Cheers - Sorry i know good things come from :pmr35lee: too but i just havent had a chance to use you yet! Where are you based and what kind of cost am i looking at for an exchange?
