Going slightly off topic, but is it an "urban myth" that 98RON fuel is not available in southern Ireland? If that is correct, then be wary of Zeds that have only run on 95RON.

I have recently found this link, /www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGgEZ-IzTYE the last part of the post shows the type of spoiler you are interested in. Hopefully, the link works!

Very impressive! Your Zed now looks fantastic!

I've just checked where I sourced my spoiler. If you type in the item number, 221101124400, on eBay, you should get to the site where I got mine. Hope this helps!

I have this type of spoiler on my Zed Roadster, and imo, looks good, not too large and finishes off the roadster rear end. I think it was from the site you linked, but not too sure. The product is top quality and the paint matches perfectly. I'll try and get a pic up on here. BTW, I do have an unused one in silver, if you are interested.

I have had good results on my Zed roadster roof using the Autoglym soft Top Cleaner and Protector. However, it may not restore the black colour, in which case, you may wish to consider the Renovo products. My neighbour used it on his BMW soft top and it really brought the colour back.

I'm fairly near in Wimlslow. Good luck with your Zed purchase, but once you get it, beware of Zeditis!!!

You should join us on our next NWOC run out, we're always happy to see other Zed owners. Keep an eye out on North West regional meets, usually organised by Spatt. The next one's mid March.

Sat in the Type R, when I was there. Pretty impressive!

It was gunmetal, same colour as my Zed. Maybe have a chat, next time I bring my Honda in for a service.

Hi Matt, Sorry, I've only just spotted this post. I have DBA discs and Ferodo DS2500 on my Zed and rate them highly. The OEM pads and Brembos were impressive but I've found the DBA/Ferodo combination to be even better! If I can get to our next run, you are more than welcome to try out my Zed and see what you think.

Please let us know how you got on. Hope you get your Zed sorted.

Yes, TDI are Honda specialists, but they do look after several Zeds from this forum, but probably not as many as Lockwood and Greenwood.

You could try a visit to TDI North in Warrington. They have had some favourable comments on this forum. I have used them to service my own Zed. Whilst I know they are not especially local to you, you could also try Lockwood and Greenwood in , Ashton, Greater Manchester, who are also recommended. They do offer a discount for owners club members. My Zed will be going there for its annual service.

Noticed a nice silver 350Z Coupe parked up at Stuart Graham Honda dealership today. Had my Honda Accord 2.4 in for airbag recall and when I came to collect it, it was parked round the back, in what I presume is the staff parking area. A nice Zed, probably one of the technicians

If you do decide to go ahead and clean up the affected area,after sanding off the surface corrosion, you may wish to use the Bilt Hamber range of anti corrosion products. http://www.bilthamber.com I use the Hydrate 80 on my Zeds rear arches and can recommend their products.

+1 for Lockwood and Greenwood. As Headphones has said, they are ex Nissan garage but still have access to Nissan tech data on Zeds, and they offer owners club members a discount. Good guys to trust your Zed with!

I can recommend DBA discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads. Contact Clark Motorsport or Cougar Store or other traders on here for good advice, service and prices.

Gunmetal 350Z with nice sounding after market exhaust passed me on eastbound M56, near Junction 4 around 11.00hrs today. Didn't wave, as I was in my Honda.

This is a known issue with Zed roadsters, usually associated with low ambient temperatures. The OEM canvas material is quite stiff at lower temperatures, so the "last" section of canvas doesn't fold properly and the roof won't close. The Nissan handbook suggests that the roof should not be operated in temperatures of less than 5 deg C. Usually the roof will close after a few attempts, as the canvas eventually flexes and folds away. The best option is to try to park the Zed in the sun,( I know that's difficult, especially this time of year!) but it is surprising how quickly the canvas warms up. Once the rear section feels slightly warm to the touch and flexes, then the roof will then operate. It may, of course, be the fifth bow motor, as Zmanalex says, but, fingers crossed, it may just be the low temperature. Once you are back in the UK, it would be worth while lubricating all the roof joints. I use Bilt Hamber Ferrosol on my roadster linkages and joints and can recommend it. Finally, never, ever, try to force the roof down by hand as undue force can damage the motors. Lets hope for some slightly warmer weather, so we can both get the roof down and enjoy our Zeds! Hoe this helps.

Nice looking Zed and great driving roads around your area! Let's hope for some decent driving weather between Christmas and New Year, so we can get out in our Zeds.

+1 for Bilt Hamber, as it's pH neutral so wont damage your alloys. Wheel Woollies for wheel brushes, bit expensive but good!
