Colette Davis & Becky Evans, dream car girl totty!! It looked a great event.

 

Car looking mighty, nice to stretch the ol' girls legs il bet. 

yup indeed lol but they surprised everyone with their driving skills also. both could seriously skid a car lol 

Really recommend anachem automotive 

local NI company but honestly I’ve tried it all and by far their wheel cleaner (ph neutral) and pre-wash is the very best I’ve used 

Snapped on the way to LzFest at Mondello 

had the fun of a 600 mile round trip this weekend to AdamLZfest here in mondello. Was amazing to see the worlds top drifters and YouTubers (adamlz, jimmy oaks, colette Davis, James Deane, Becky Evans etc etc) all in the one place and just drifting the whole weekend. 

the zed didn't miss a beat entire weekend and got a fair bit of attention, esp with the exhaust still being crazy loud

a friend caught me on the drive home

Was a local Japanese show recently. 
 

few photos from it Below. 
 

No huge updates of late other than another service and coolant flush and change

next little plan is to clean the variable valve solenoids and adjust the standard level of the headlights to make the throw a little longer on dipped 

Few photos to finish as always. This was from a short run from a local jdm group I’m part of

slight update more for my own records.

The ecu headed off recently to Horsham Developments

Being the later models, my zed can take the multi map options, so have the performance map, valet mode and flame/pops n bangs map added.

Whilst at it I also purchased the 8mm plenum spacer for the intake side of the v6 engine. Map took my current mod's and spacer into consideration and also removed the factory throttle limiters in 1st & 2nd gear.

Feel wise the cars power delivery is certainly smoother across the range and id say the intake note sound more metallic and raw.

is it faster ? feels more urgent and livelier in the pick up, but looking honestly the spacer is maybe accepted as a 10bhp mod if mapped and then the map itself, so maybe a 20-25bhp gain in total?

was pleased with the performance at the RMS run (my local club) yesterday, seemed to outrun an e46 m3 and sat with some stuff I thought would have outran me.

everyone seems to find the exhaust hilarious and it makes me smile which is the important thing

even gave cough cough Porsche gt4 a run ha ha.... (total lies, I got taught a lesson lol)

Car is running sweet as a nut and getting a full service and coolant flush this week to keep it this way.

Next job is the one everyone hates and im off rattle hunting. A small vibration behind the head unit has started at 2.5k and has been exaggerated by the non-flex'd Y pipe and titanium exhaust lol.

sorry for the essay, here's another photo

Well that’s the ECU shipped off to @Jez @ H-Dev

going for 4 maps inc a flame map (literally just for the child in me) and with the agency power and decats it should be ‘productive’

i literally cannot wait and also fitting a 8mm plenum spacer whilst at it.

That sounds lovely. Me likey....

thanks, much too loud for me on a daily basis (used occasionally on decent days for work runs etc) 

so will be off end of July and for sale most likely lol 

Short drive by with Agency Power

above is a little YouTube clip showing the sound at a 2nd gear pull

So massive show here in Ireland over the weekend

im handy with an iPhone but got some proper photos sent through

Completed a bumper tuck today. Went the cabletie route so there where no screws in bumper etc so it’s entirely reversable

2 recent photos

the new exhaust Agency Power Single Exit with decats (yes it’s loud lol)

Sounds bloody lovely! It’s a yes from me! hope he let it warm a little though 😂

yeah it was still good & warm as I’d just completed at 80 mile work trip and doubled it as a chance to get it fitted on lunch break. 
 

the hot exhaust wasn’t great for his hands but he did mention it made getting old bolts off easier lol. 
 

also a cold start is waaaaay louder lol

Would a packet of hobnobs change that? 😂 have you tried it out yet? I’m debating getting the titanium isr but need to sell mine to fund it 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNcUEqt2kXs

short clip of the first start up

Decats, stillen Y pipe and AP Titanium exhaust lol..... it's truly mental

Funny I’m looking at exactly same option to the 350z

seems buddy club ultra low rails are way to go for them on the 350z anyway

Well if you do let me know first as I’ll have it off you 😂

lol there is a bit of a Q already ha! but if the snow and storms give it a rest for a few days I will get it up on jacks and try it out lol

I don't think anyone here is trying to do that ... members are always helpful, especially with newbies.

the first response to this thread was misleading, whether it was failed sarcasm etc, a newbie member wouldn't have the background understanding that the £600 LMGT4 sales was a mental error (in my opinion) by the seller.

Indeed he did not.

 

Someone on here got a real bargain and it was not me.

 

I honestly would have been to embarrassed to only pay £600.00 to a fellow forum member, knowing that they were worth at least double that.

I absolutely agree with ZMANALEX here, something would not have sat right with me about that. Yes everyone likes a bargain, but that was a very clear case of someone not knowing the worth of something and being taken advantage of. Gumtree sale etc might be slightly more understandable but in a owners forum I would be of the opinion we look out for other members, also one mans bargain just kills the value of others items.

regarding the LMGT4 wheels themselves and the value, I can only see them rise, bearing in mind this is a prime choice wheel for R34 GTR's etc and you see the price they are going for now. 

Surprised at the blatant attempts to get someone to literally give away their wheels here 

sitting well not needing a refurb then 1500 is Starting price all day 

literally my face as im about to fit my single exit Agency Power system with decats...
