Hi Guys, There are not many things on the road these days that is nicer than the mighty Zed. The stainless steel engraved tax disc holder shows the Zed on the rear, which is a constant reminder that you are sitting in one of the best looking cars going. I bought this for my last Zed (had 3) and removed it when I sold it. Knee operation followed by illness meant that I never got to put it on another Zed. Now it is your chance. It cost me £25 and I will ask the same. Post included. Thanks for looking and stay safe.

Will do mate. There is also an orange one near Metal Box and a grey one in Sandy Lane that I have seen parked up. I have a black 04 Zed and never see any others when I am in it and there has never been so many around. 6 years ago, my old one was the only one I knew of in the area.

I spotted a JDM Black 350Z, J999*** around 4.25 today on Blandford Road Hamworthy Poole. I often see this car - lowered and looking good - when I am on my way home in my Black Shogie. I probably wave like a muppet which is why he probably ignored me:-). Regularly.

Spotted a tidy Blue UK GT near Hamworthy Park in sunny Poole today around 2.45. FV05***

Enjoy your Zed and welcome to the Forum. The smile doesn't go away.

Most people that know what they're looking for will aim to get something from 2006 onwards to avoid any of the quirks of the earlier model. That may have something to do with the inflation of the price to some degree Every Z has quirks it doesn't matter which one you go for So does every owner and potential owner which is why the price is what it is. Makes sense eh? Like This Quote MultiQuote

Thanks again guys. Buy you a pint if we meet . Found the superseded number ok and that is the item that I wanted. There was a bit of plastic stuck in the recess so I thought they were plastic. GM please close this thread. I think you guys have had enough of this

Original Poster. Sounds civilised. Thanks bud.

Alex, I got the part number ok each time thanks. I Googled it but nothing came up which is why I asked again where I could look for myself mostly for my own peace of mind. I found the air spoiler bit in my downloaded manual but couldn't find the part number on the drawing. Sorry if I was being a complete f***wit but it is hard being me

I left Glasgow too as I was getting rusty . The W brace underneath always shows superficial rust and gives the impression that the car is rotten. I am on my 3rd Zed and they were all that way on the brace but the rest was fine. Once that is replaced or refurbed it will look better. I got mine from Poole/Midlands and Berkshire so maybe you need to travel a bit to get a decent one. Good luck with that.

Thanks guys. I guessed what the name of it was, knowing full well that I would be corrected and the parts found. Been on the Forum for 6 years + and had 3 Zeds yet still don't know much . Jon, Yes that is the main part with the holes for the bolts/screws but it also it held in place by the plastic clips that I was looking for. Thanks. Alex, Thanks. I knew you would find the answer Where do i find the par number you mentioned? GM. Thanks. What is "OP"? Hopefully the abuse I deserve for being a muppet describing the item.

Hi Alex, Thanks. It is not the underneath bolts and retainers , it is the plastic u shape clips that push in to join the front lip and the bumper together. I screen printed a page from my manual but could not get it on here. Jon, I doubt if many have them on their cars and I would guess that a speed hump would soon shift them. cheers Gordon

Thanks guys. To be honest I don't actually know what they look like but the are not speed clips (or spire nuts as I know them). I tried these and they didn't hold for long. I don't want to put self tappers through it in case I catch it again and it damages the bumper lip. I also have shed loads of push button clips but these are not the right kind. I even used impact adhesive but it sprung out again and looks shabby. I could go direct to Nissan but would rather use Forum traders.

Hi Guys, Looking for the clips that hold on the front lip along the front of the bumper. Anyone know where I can get them?

Welcome to the forum. Nice car too. Seems like you are on to a winner.

Took the panel off at the weekend: nothing underneath except for the floor. Drilled out the rivets holding the plastic on and will sand blast the metal frame, rustproof it , stone guard it and rivet it back together. I guess it must have a use so I am going to put it back on. No doubt Mr Rust will be back ......

I have had 3 zeds and they all had the same problem. I usually twist mine till it is flush. When I fill up again it usually goes back to the warped position. If there is a sensible fix then that would be bonzer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Morning guys, After a bad night's kip I thought I would share the experience that led to it so please bear with me.... I was in bed have a quick scan of the Auto Express Mag and I just happened to mention the stupid naming of cars of 2017. My mrs likes cars - she doesn't have much choice really - so she joined in. Then it started....... She likes to gives all her cars (and mine) a name. I won't tell you what her car is called but my daily is a Shogun SWB that I refer to as The Truck - she calls it Mitsi. My Zed is Zed to me so no surprise there but she wanted to name it. I thought I would keep the peace and maybe profit from a bit of in bed entertainment in a few minutes so I asked for suggestions. Her first suggestion was Molly (Yuck) and my response was Terminator. Next was Jilly! Chuffin Jilly? It is a Zed not a horse. Then it became annoying. Names of Zara, Hayley quickly followed but cancelled out by me suggesting Arnie, Black Adder and even Lemmy (to give it a rock n roll name). So I said no more it is Zed end of. Apparently I have no soul so it was good night and she turned over. Oh well. no nookie for me but at least I saved Zed from a life a shame. I went back to my Auto Express and the crappy car names...... Have any of you had the naming experience?

There are a lot of cars that need locking up over the winter and the rest of the year. Zed is not one of them:-). Mine is not my daily but when I need cheering up, I drive it to work. If we didn't have winter then maybe we wouldn't look after them as well as we do. We do.don't we? Being a jock in exile my Zed says "Freedom" to me.

It's not just Zeds that get this although I do get it every day I drive mine this weather so I drive with the windows slightly open. I have 2 moisture bags inside too. In rain I use the air con but it still steams up a bit. I think that the problem these days is that everyone wants instant heat and put the heater on straight away. That doesn't help either. I see this in my wife's Toyota - windows saturated but she gets in and thinks the windows should be clear because she turns a chuffin switch . If you solve the problem you could be a rich man.

Maybe it opens the jaggy bunnet

Welcome to the forum. If you want to keep the smile - keep the Zed.
