Scully

Was up getting a socket haha was taking a gearbox out on a micra

I saw this in Halfords just now...

A crossbread to say on image rights maybe?

Good to know, without sounding like a complete n00b but are Akebono good? Never heard of them...

 

The Maclaren P1 uses Akebono brakes, hopefully thats enough testament

That's enough for me! Haha

Good to know, without sounding like a complete n00b but are Akebono good? Never heard of them...

I think I'm right in saying the 370 brakes are not brembo but are they still an upgrade to the 350's brembo kit?

And are there any options for brakes on a new 370 as I haven't seen any...

Half a mile! I would just walk to work

Reading his made my night!

Glad you solved the problem, it's threads like this that I like as it will stick in your mind for diagnosing future problems on zed's and other cars for that matter. A shame you spent out for just a bit of cleaning really but must be a load off your mind.

It is a shame that they don't even have a poster or anything, the parts guy told me they might see a Zed once a month if they are lucky and that's for maintenance or problems.

I'm doing the same thing with my '07 base model, I researched into it and although the base models may have the cruise and set with working led's they will NOT light up even once you have the cruise steering wheel buttons, the two extra pedal switches and the GT flash on the ECU but the cruise function WILL still work - it's just whether you want them to light up or are happy with no lights.

The only way to get them to light up is to get a GT HVAC/cluster, but then you need to get the mileage to match or get it changed which I think only Nissan can do (I might be wrong) and then they will only 'add' miles.

Saying this though, all the gen I found on the subject was from pre facelift models, so maybe our 313's have the capability already but who knows.

I always thought it was just the bottom of the rods poking through... Feel a bit silly now ha

Yeah the one by junction 1 on the A1 has a Nismo GTR in the window, I always slow down and look when I'm driving past

Last week Roscoe and I went for a little drive and ended up at MK Nissan, not for and maintenance, just for a poke around anything interesting and for a price check for a broken part Roscoe has.

Well the car park was full of Qashqui's and Juke's, with a few Note's and Micra's. We thought "the good stuff must be in the show room". How wrong were we! Just more Juke's and Qashqui's! Nothing that remotely resembled a Zed or GTR. I thought there would be at least one!

None the less we went out back to the parts counter, the part in question, the small black splitter at the bottom of standard bumpers, that screws into the under tray. This is where the game started, the assistant/mechanic obviously know what Nissan prices are like so he laughed and said, "take a guess... Excluding VAT".

Roscoe said £60 and I £100 thinking this was way over. WRONG. It's was something in the region of £147 excl. tax! He even said you don't want to buy that, "go and take a look on the forecourt and see if any of the Micra or Note ones are the same"

Feeling like this whole place was a joke, I cheekily asked, "is this a Qashqui and Juke specialist?"

"It's just what everyone wants"

So after a bit of revving in the car park of our Zed's, 1 cat back cobra & 1 HFC's, we made our way out for another drive. Coming across the Nissan Technology Centre in Cranfield.

We pulled up for a bit and by this time it must have been clocking off time, as Juke after Juke after Juke after Qashqui after Juke left the Tech Centre! I suppose it was a long shot to get a glimpse of the 350z GT-S they built there, that's even if it is still there... Who knows??

All in all some good drives, a Juke showroom and a Juke Technology Centre

*Juke aka Nissan

just gave this thread a follow mate, love how your Zed is turning out and I'm surprised I haven't seen you driving around Bedford...

Makes me feel really lazy as I've had mine for 2 years now and I've hardly done anything to it!

What would you say to a mini meet at the self car wash some time in the future as I've never used it and I know Roscoe would come down from Flitwick and maybe a couple of others too...

If it's ok, as we have free cancellation at Prem Inn, but only if two rooms come available at the same time I guess..

1. Scully 2 double rooms 2 people in each 23rd-26th 3 nights

2 more "Wales Virgins" to be broken in haha

I think I did see 1 UK car, the blue one up on the barrier at 1:53

 

There are only 48 Zeds on the list at the moment, myself & Lexx are Zedless

 

 

Sent from the golf club...

If this is true dibs on the last 2, I'm PM'd Graham also

is there no way to raise the 50 limit? got 2 more Zeds wanting to go... me and Roscoe

As I'm helping to put a full cobra on next week I can vouch for the colour ðŸ‘

Was a silver/grey **04 EAY I think. Stopped at the lights 5 mins ago

A mere £101.50

So who got this! The lucky fellow out bid me by £1.50 with only 2 seconds to go!

Someone got a bargain

How much are these worth? As I've only seen the ones that are always on eBay for £250

Had these on for a few days now... Awesome! I'd like to here a comparison with Berks on a standard set up to hear the difference - if any.

Really happy though!
