Try it

 

Don't have white plasti dip or new tyres yet... Not to mention the ballache of making a stencil.

 

Suppose I could spray some black on my current tyres and see how it holds up though

I can tell you from experience with plasti dip on tyres it sorta works but a lot of it flakes off. I sprayed my alloys black and cause it was plasti dip didn't bother covering the tyre. After a few hundred miles it looked like my tyre walls where shredded but it was just the plasti dip peeling off.

I've got a used OEM one £50 it's in good condition I'll take some pics when I'm home if your interested.

Or we could do a deal for your throttle controller

Hey bro you wouldn't have the left passenger side headlight washer jet and cover would ya?

Yes £50.00 + for just the jet and cover.

 

I may have pre owned in stock but need to know if facelift or pre facelift.

Pre facelift 04 model, and if you could check that'd be great thanks

New in stock and circa £50.00.

 

Facelift or Prefacelift ?

£50 that for just the jet and cover? And I was hoping it'd be a tad less than that

Might have to revert to going to some breakers

Just for reference this is all I need (pic below)

Someone either pinched mine or it fell off but I need the jet at the end and the cover which is screwed onto the jet. I don't need the rest of the mechanism which is the expensive part.

Cheers,

Jake.

They had to send the ECU to America for a reflash after my local garage corrupted it when they cleaned the throttle bodies , so I had the uprev at the same time

.If I lived closer I would use Abbey for all my work.

Corrupted the ECU from cleaning the throttle body? how does that even happen?

Black radiator support for slam panel got any pics of it?

Hopefully you're still doing these can I be put on the waiting list please if there is one

The Magners can made me laugh. hmm.. yes! now i can drink and drive without spilling it on the leather!

 

Hehe I was drinking the cider at the time and knew that it was a standard size can so plopped it in the hole and it fit perfectly

you can legally drink and drive as long as you don't have more than one it's not something I would condone though.

 

Unless you are in Scotland

Scots don't drive do they, I thought they just rode sheep everywhere

slightly off topic, but do you do custom projects? I have a custom badge I'm after is all, obviously will pay!

Yes I can do mate shoot me a pm with some more information on what you're looking for

Just a thought as well to make it look a lot cleaner and more natural I could change up the design a bit to cover that old mount for the bluetooth connector and make it fit into the lugs as said above, also I could then wrap it in some sort of felt similar to what the cubby is covered in now. This will take a lot more time material and obviously cost more but for those of you who have minor OCD and like everything perfect this is an option, when I get a free moment I'll chuck a prototype together to see what it looks like.

I've also got some plans such as designing and printing gauge surrounds for the door air vents. I'm also going to give some custom badges a go on the outside of the car. When you sand and spray plastic parts they look like any other part you can't even tell they've been 3D printed

Also I'm going to make a list in the OP of people who are interested and people who have brought one will make it easier to keep track of everything.

doesn't the cubby have some lugs at the front of the box for the nissan cupholder to locate onto?

 

Excuse the dirt but it doesn't look like it, that black bracket was the Bluetooth adapter socket which has to be removed to fit this in.

There are two holes at the front just before the CD holder possibly for this? I personally wanted the holder at the rear of the cubby so drinks don't hit your elbow when resting or changing gear.

 

is that a CD holder? well i never knew?

 

anyway, someone was selling a JDM one on here a while back.

it does hook on the front lugs, however, i definitely get your reasoning for locating at the back of the cubby, I'm defnitely interested in one...although i'll have to clear mine out!!

The more you know

And even at the very back of the compartment numerous times having a drink in the drivers side and ripping the handbrake up quickly my elbow tends to clip the top of the drinks bottle, that might just be me.

Would a clear TPU work better?

Clear filaments on 3D FDM printers always come out like a cloudy whitey colour

I'll have one.... when will they be ready?? Haha... I like the black with the silver ring

 

The rings are in white flexible TPU material, I'll upload pics of what 3D printed items looks like without sanding and smoothing and spraying so you can make your mind up on what sort of finish you'd like.

 

Price sounds reasonable - but silver ring would look more at home with the stock cabin that white.

 

I'd be interested in the sprayed version.

In regards to silver I've looked online and can't find any silver TPU for my printer, not sure if there are any flexible spray paints. You don't have to have the inserts in they just help hold things a bit better.

Saw a guy with this at a meet the other day asked him where he got it from he said it was on the car when he bought it and had no clue who made it, now I know very interested in this.

Add me to the waiting list if ya could payday tomorrow lads looking for an unpainted one if you're still doing them

How much for one of those ?

I'd buy one.

Unpainted £12.50 not including postage (which in the U.K. I can't imagine it costing more than a few quid)

Painted black £20 ( Note: these can be printed in black or a number of other colours but since it's a 3D model the surface has layer lines) I will upload a picture once I'm home to show the layer lines.

They were available on jdm cars (well some), so might be worth enquiring with Nissan on a price first before you go to too much trouble, although sure you can probably make them cheaper.

It only took around 30minutes to design, and about 5 hours to print on the printer. If people are interested I will improve the grip design to it clicks into place instead of super gluing it.

I can print in numerous colours as well, as you can see from the pics about it was printed in yellow and then sprayed.

Even though this was a prototype model.

Would you take £55 for it bud?

Mind shooting me a link to these I've been looking for something like this but could only tind OEM ones.

Would a model aeroplane servo not be up for this sort of task?

MOD EDIT: Welcome along to our newest member trader

So firstly I'd like to say hi all, this being my first of many threads.

As some of you Zed owners I'm sure have experienced the frustration when having people in your car, both of you have a drink weather that be a bottle of water or a can of coke there's only one cup holder.

Well after countless times of getting on my nerves I finally decided to do something about it, so I jumped on my computer chucked together a quick design after taking some measurements of the cubby behind the handbrake and this is what I came up with.

Any thoughts or interest in these I can reproduce them?

Unpainted £12.50 not including (sale £12.50 + free postage) postage (Postage to mainland U.K. Free)

Note: Not offering painted ones anymore it takes me too much time to sand and smooth each one and spray them.
