Whats plasti-dip?

I know what you mean. I prefer the style of this wheel over the rays though. My spoiler just arrived it's taller than my girlfriend :o Will test fit that tomorrow!!

So I went to get my wheels fitted. Was all good until they actually put them on and I realised how small they are.... Look really small in the arches... Pretty gutted tbh... Nice colour and i like the wheel.... Just really small :/ Massive anti-climax.

Brilliant! Just got a text from driftworks saying the wing will be delivered at about 1pm!

Or that Just put all spacers on, made sure they're on with some lock tight glue stuff my dads had. Sitting pretty flush in the arch! 30mm front and back.

Ahah, I don't really watch POTC, it's just every car I've had, bar my 106 has been black, and they've all been 'cursed' due to having problems. And seeing as the wheel came off this, it just proves again, it's a curse of a black car!

Apparently it's legal due to the mesh? But yeah, makes the back look so much better!

Why not have a crack at it yourself? Maybe buy some gold paint just incase it screws up then you can do a quick fix?

Hi! Thought ild start one of these just to keep track of my progress. Anyways, I'm Luke, I'm from Watford area, and I'm lucky enough to have a company van so my zed isn't used on a daily basis. So I can kinda do what I want! Bought the car in Feb, it's a black 2003 (52 plate) jdm import. Since then I've pretty much done not a great deal to it. But now due to the cost of the car, and being at pretty much its lowest depreciation point, i can have some fun with it and not worry about losing too much money on it. I have kept it completely standard and was just looking around until I decided what I wanted to do to it. Was going to go down the massively slammed, wide stretched tyre, or 'euro' look as I had leaned towards on my previous car before I got annoyed with the poor engine, This was a car I build when I was 16/17. Yet, unsurprisingly, not a single insurance company would touch me due to it having a tuned vts engine. So that project got sold. But this zed will be better! But that all changed when I came back from the ring. I'm now going to make the car into a track day car. Over the next few months I will slowly be buying parts for it. So far I've got: 17" OZ Superturismos resprayed in bright orange 30mm spacers front and back, these are due to the offset of the wheels. Orange tow strap Drift works carbon rear wing Flyeye kit. Next on list Exhaust - possibly the k1 Coilovers Brembos/discs/pads Tyres Full roll cage Once all that is done and I feel I have fully worked the car and feel the power is not enough then I'll look for something more. Either turbo/supercharge or lsx. A spanner got thrown into the works when my wheel decided to overtake me, leaving the car resting on the brakes and suspension. Ruining my front wing. Fun. So now need a new front wing. Wish I could justify buying the £500 carbon one! Fitted the flyeye kit to the front headlight and the rear indicator clusters. Althought it looks good having an all black front, the sight quality is poor. I'm going to have one more drive with them on tonight, but will more than likely take them off. So yeah thats a bit ofmy story. Hopefully this will all go to plan.

Welcome! Someone local! I'm from watford, but work in and around st Albans. Ive spotted a few zeds in the area but will look out for you!

I don't even care if this is a repost. I want it.

Yeah all standard nuts. I removed the wheel last week to check fitment of new wheels that are to be fitted, I probably just didn't do it up tight enough tbh. Own fault. Ah well. Live and learn.

Felt some wobble/noise and was going to pull in to shops at end of road and check. Still drives fine, so no proper damage.

The wing was dented anyways, so an excuse to get a new one! Every cloud.....

It's a strange feeling being overtaken by your own wheel.... Luckily i was just going down the road. New wing is needed though. Whoops...

Says the height go he wing can be adjusted? Judging by the pictures, not much!

Right, Immediately, I know this will get a mixed reaction, but.... What are people's opinions on them? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAPSPEED-NISSAN-200SX-S15-CARBON-FIBRE-BGW-REAR-WING-SPOILER-/150807746982?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item231cd799a6 I like personally!

Hi, Looking for coilovers - preferably ones that haven't done a million miles, and not a real cheap brand! Many thanks

True, they do seem to have hundreds for sale over there! Also, apart from torque, there doesnt seem to be much bhp increase standard? How easy are these engines to get a considerable bhp increase from?

Have you got a rough cost?

So for this conversion I'm guessing you need: Lsx and gearbox Sikky kit or similar Ecu/loom re wiring Fuel pump/lines And that's about it?

Since seeing this video yesterday, I've spent the past 24 hours researching the lsx swap. Oh I want it so bad!

The blue is just spacers, so won't really be seen, and if it annoys me I'll just spray them. It's all going on a black car. Going to test fit wheels later!

Tow strap and 30mm!

Exactly
