  1. Welcome to the forum and congrats on picking up your Zed. Happy motoring.
  2. Welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchase of your beautiful Nismo. Regarding your rattle at the rear, have you taken the cover off to see if there is anything loose e.g. there is a counterweight in there amongst other things. Your cooling temp seems totally fine. Happy motoring.
  3. Lee, welcome to the forum, i think you'll find out everything you need to know from this forum. Happy motoring.
  4. Welcome to the forum, I'm sure there are plenty of members in your area who would only be too happy to help you out. Happy hunting.
  5. Dude, congratulations (along with plenty of envy) on purchasing a beautiful rarity. I've a feeling you've posted on the US website as that is where i saw your first post, what can i say but enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. You can tell the impact your Zed has made by the pages of "welcomes". There are so many beautiful touches to it but my fave is the turned out lips of the wheel arches
  6. car model:- 2004 DE OBD11 Adapter:- ieGeek wifi obd11 used on:- Samsung Galaxy S5 Usable gauges:- Throttle Position, MPG (instant) & (long term), Volts, Coolant temp, MAF, Accel X, Accel Y, Accel Z, Accel G O2volts bank1 sensors 1 to 4, O2 volts bank 2 sensors 1 to 4, O2 sensor 1 equivalence ratio, Engine load, Engine RPM, Fuel trim bank 1 sensors 1 to 4, Fuel trim bank 2 sensors 1 to 4, There are also a few parameters that are not covered (some have to be purchased & used with the Torque Pro app) such as 0-60mph time, 60-0mph time, Ambient air temp, barometric pressure (from vehicle), GPS accuracy, GPS altitude, GPS bearing, GPS satellites, Intake air temp, Intake manifold pressure, Speed GPS, Speed OBD, Timing advance, Turbo boost & vacuum gauge. Considering it costs next to nothing for the adapter and the Torque Lite version being free, its a pretty helpful bit of kit. I didn't realise i could get over 100mpg out of the Zed, OK it was rolling downhill in 6th but I'm defo going to get a screenshot of that. This just goes to show how hit and miss these OBD2 adapters are. A couple of months I updated my phone to a Galaxy S7 and uploaded Torque Pro. I spent the best part of £20 on an OBD2 adaptor and the thing didn't work. Neither did the replacement they sent, so I spent £3 on a cheapie, it arrived yesterday and connected with no problems at all so I'm enjoying getting to know what the Pro will do that the Lite didn't.
  7. Save yourself even more money and replace the motor brushes for under a tenner and have a motor just as good as new.
  8. The biggest cause of rust on our rear arches is the lip. I don't know if many of you when washing your Zed have run your fingers along the upper inside of the lip only to find that its packed with road grime and when wet it takes a long time to dry out. So for the majority of the time this hard packed crap never dries. Next time you wash your Zed just run your fingers along the underside of the arch and you'll be shocked at the amount of dirt and crap that falls away. Once you've got all of the detritus out of the way, as long as the steel is in good condition its well worth sealing it and also checking how much muck has collected every few months and keep the lip clean, it goes a long way to help preventing the dreaded tin worm.
  9. Well done for getting that sorted out Sam. Water or not its still a right PIA when you go through all that work expecting it to turn on the key only to find that you have a gremlin that has moved in through no fault of your own. Here's to happy smoke free motoring.
  10. As Ekona said you could try a hammering a smaller socket onto whats left, but i reckon you've given it such a battering that you've perhaps taken it a step too far. I'd go with R35LEE's suggestion and take it to a wheel fitting specialist. I've never seen anything like that before.
  11. Welcome to the forum. Do you mean an oil temperature gauge? As Jumping350 said the oil pressure gauge is the centre gauge of the three at the top of the waterfall.
  12. Welcome back to the forum and happy to know that your are OK after your 720 on the M25, I just hope you're not going to attempt a 1080 in your new one.
  13. Welcome to the forum Ash, congrats on buying a tidy FI Zed.
  14. Welcome to the forum Chris, you've bought the right car for the roads around where you live.
  15. Welcome to the forum, you've made the right choice, you'll get more smiles per mile in the Zed.
  16. Looks like that I'll be adding that £5 to the £££'s that Shell take off me for their VPower then. Thanks for your input ilogikal 1.
  17. You haven't got a dodgy earth that could be draining power overnight? Is it cranking at normal speed and not catching, if so, I'd go along with Irn Bru.
  18. Never seen anything like these before. Interesting idea.
  19. Agree with juggalo, pic 2 is the weak point in the exhaust system and has already been mentioned you could get it welded up but chances are the flexi's will be on their way out and it does look well rusty. If you were thinking of a repair just put he cash towards a stainless cat-back system.
  20. Welcome to the forum. Only thing i can think of if it hasn't been done already is a remap for UK 98ron fuel as Jap fuel is of a higher spec, I suppose that would have already been done if it was imported by a reputable company though.
