Wow missed this

just sent my entries in there

Bought one from specialised covers recently

not cheap but proper designed for the zed, they even took my ducktail measurements and customised it. 
 

Just a bump on this. Had a flashing airbag light earlier. Car been sitting a month

followed guide above. Check wires, reset airbag (five ignition resets) and it worked a treat. 
 

thanks for the info!! 

Caught a nice autumn sunset last Week

Hi and welcome to the club! Great to see another NI member 

based just outside belfast myself

if I was in the market for a zed id be all over this. from what I can see it has Nismo skirts, rear spoiler, lmgt4s and can anyone guide me on that front end??

just lovely!!

As always well produced and shot & also great info on US postage 
 

not maybe fancy cleaning up that plenum whilst it was off lol??

Few snaps At local beach on Saturday evening. 

been for sale for at least a year.... and I suspect it will be for sale for another year lol 

Thanks guys, yes honestly I’d imagined this look for a few years but never thought I’d get there. 
 

plenum cover off for powder coating in October and then maybe hydro dip some interior pieces and dye headliner.
 

still dream of forced induction but may have to settle for a map lol 

friend of mine is a photographer and kindly offered his services recently. 

have another 2 stages to do with him of rolling shots and then some fun random things, but he sent me through a few early photos

and then for a little fun

naturally Im over the moon with how the car now looks.

you guys are so lucky to have reg. zed meets. here in northern Ireland there are so few owners etc

Personally love it. Can see design and heritage of old zed cars through the look and style. 
 

think it’ll look awesome in dark colours too

Talking about if they do have a flat rear end to the car it will give after market tuners a chance to run a ducktail option 

the gif was Ryan Reynolds drooling 

If we end up with a 400z with a Flat back end with a ducktail 

then drool

here is a shirt video of how the car is sounding right now. 
 

decats 

milltek cat back and Y pipe

So on the 350z Miltek the tail pipes have resonators/silencers in them. The resonator is basically a smaller diameter pipe with perforation s and sound deadening in. It gives a conical look to the tailpipe which I didn't really like and when one started buzzing they had to go.

 

Removing them makes the oulet look like this

 

 

Hope this makes sense.

 

I thought they looked better. Made no difference to the noise except for the removal of the annoying buzzing.

Was it just a matter of chopping it up from inside the pipe and removing it in pieces? Was it actually welded or glued in or just in place? 
 

im not a fan look of the internals

either lol. 
 

Been trying to be more intentional recently about getting the zed out for drives. So last sunday night I txt'd a friend with his R35 to see if he wanted to head out on a short run/hot chocolate trip lol. 

just short blast over to Bangor Northern Ireland and back, few hilarious (on my part, that GTR is like a space shuttle taking off) carriageway pulls together and decent hot chocolate from red berry.

few little snaps from the other night. It also helped make my mind up on the exhaust, I'd been really close to pulling trigger on an Agency Power Single exit and run decats and Y pipe etc for full fat VQ Asbo goodness but Ive realised that with my current setup there is a nice balance of induction/engine and exhaust and I can slink about if needed, without being all shouty. (may still by cheap ISR blast pipes at some point just for banter)

Few Snaps

Agreed matches the GT but still fun when you want it to be without causing headaches after a long day!

Can I ask how/ who removed the resonators in the end can?

Stormy night and nice opportunity 

Again class! I was chatting on RMS about this car with you. Lovely!! Had in my head you where in Northern Ireland lol. Should be handy to sort it with parts if you are living out in Japan 

Weather here in NI has been terrible recently. But was out with work recently and took advantage of a storm and tree lights lol. 
 

currently looking at options on hydro dipping interior pieces to modernise the look and then dye the headliner.
