Hi,I am just interested in people's point of view when it comes to radiators.Basically I am planning on buying a mishimoto alloy radiator shroud kit with uprated fans and a hose kit and I am looking for a radiator.Iv seen a driftworks priced at £205 the mishimoto £255 and japspeed is £159.Anyone recommend any others?I was thinking buy mishimoto as all the kit will match/Japspeed at £159 seems a bit cheap.Would want it to be a direct fit with no modificationI have a 53 plate zed.Any feedback would be appreciated.Thanks Richard

Im 23 with 6 years no claims and my zed costs me £574 with elephant.For winter driving atm I have a P reg 1.5D 106 and lets just say the power/performance on the 106 is so incredible,people look at it and think damn thats a car I want to thieve,its 13inch steel wheels would look amazing on my car.Due to this Im getting charged £498 for the 106!!I personally think the zed is amazing value.

Hi mate basically I didnt have the time to replace my clutch on my 350 myself so I took it to my local Nissan dealer and for the complete kit it cost just under £300.The labour for it to be fitted was £320 costing £620 in total.Took them a day to do and I was given a supercharged micra for free to drive about in,which was a laugh.Tbh after speaking to the tech guys there I realised they didnt know much about the 350z and dealt with mainly micras,duke's etc.I would personally find a nissan specialist,they know what they are doing and may be cheaper.Hope this helps.Richard

Oil cooler kit arrived today!!Thanks again Richard

As suggested I have been reading up on the forum about superchargers.My car has uprated brakes/exhaust/plenum so Iv decided I would like to supercharge my zed with a vortech system.Im pritty handy with a spanner and will be able to do most of the install myself,(will take to a tuning garage to do fuel managment/ecu/reflash)After reading up iv noticed alot of people have been buying tuner kits and buying the fuel pump/injectors seperately.Buying the complete kit sounds like less hassle,but I am interested in the tuner kit. If I buy the tuner kit 1)what pump/injectors and other parts would you recommend? 2)Anyone recommend where to buy these from? I am not looking to hit over 400bhp,dont fancy a complete engine rebuild just yet. Thanks Richard

Hi guys I own a 53 350z gt,iv come into a couple of quid and I really really fancied buying a Bolt on a Vortech V-3 SCi supercharger system(complete kit)which has the fuel/injectors etc I was wondering what other performance parts I should need to order?was looking at sports cats/exhaust system/air filter/plenum spacer,anything else??Id be happy with around 400bhp.any advise would be welcome thanks Richard

Recently purchased a zed and its amazing!!I have been looking into remapping it,living in South wales there are a fair few garages that remap cars etc I was just wondering if anyone has had theirs remapped in south Wales or what is the nearest garage/company.I would rather pay extra for quality/rolling road set up for my car than just having my ecu plugged into a computer and having a standard map.Any information will be great.Thanks Richard

I picked it up yesterday!!!All I have to say is OH MY GOOD LORD!!What a machine!!had an issue with a keyfob that was sorted today down in the Nissan garage for free:)Think they were a bit shocked that a 22 year owned it but hey the £700 insurance is worth every penny!!Il be giving it a clean on the weekend and il put a few pics up.BTW its a 53plate GT spec in sunburnt orange,UK car with f.n.s.h.Zed drivers must be the happiest people in the world!!!

Hi I purchased my first zed today and lets just say it was the best 220 mile drive Iv experienced It sounds amazing!!!When I picked it up the keyfob was working,it unlocked and locked the car on three seperate occassions,for stops/food/petrol and not a problem.Got back home in the south of Wales and it doesnt seem to want to work changed the battery and not a sausage,any advise??The only way I can get into the car is by the key but the alarm sets itself off everytime i open the door.Any advise would be nice Thanks Richard

Thanks very much for the link,just had a look and its alot of help!!Hopefully this time tomorrow I will be officially apart of the forum

Hopefully I am going to buy my first zed tomorrow!!I saw the light and sold my tt quattro sport and was just wondering from members experience what should I be looking out for?it has all the service history,with the gt pack etc and looks in good condition,normally I check for un even tyre wear/does it drive straight,oil/coolant levels,interior wear,pannels all line up correctly,clutch,gearbox when I test drive.any oil leaks from engine and was just wondering if i have missed anything out.Any information will be excellent Thanks Richard
