Redsky

If its brand new I would assume it comes with floor mats? Maybe ring the place you got it from and ask if they just forgot to put them in?

Hey welcome to the forum  Glad you are enjoying your Zed already  

Man I wish I lived somewhere with more interesting roads, there are some nice twisty ones near me but the road surface is utterly trashed, they never bothered to fix it since last winter bit of a shame really. Also if I remember right (someone feel free to correct me) First and second gear I believe supposedly have a bit of a delay on them from the factory so people like to put in a throttle controller to tweak the input (not 100% sure how they work im assuming it just tells the ECU to speed up the opening of the throttle body maybe) But some people swear they make a difference. Maybe someone who has done the mod would like to chime in  

Still though glad you are enjoying the Zed, also kind of makes me feel better I was looking at an M3 at the same time as i was buying my Zed but looking into it now a lot of people seem to have issues with the M3.

Welcome

Sorry bud just saw that you replied! Many years of saving up I think haha. I've got plans for my Z in the future anyway, may be considering a 1JZ in about 3-5 years or so, so quite far into the future haha. I think for now though, I'll enjoy the NA scream from the engine! How come you had to replace your clutch? General wear and tear or something else?

Slave cylinder decided it didnt want to hold fluid anymore xD I think a combination of 10 years old 70K miles and it did live by the sea for a bit, might have softened it up. Or maybe someone was a bit lead footed with the clutch. Its all fine now and to be honest I kind of like having my own new clutch makes me feel more attached to the car to be honest   Oh so a 1JZ rather than a 2JZ  Going to get 1 part fans 1 part haters for that xD They are impressive engines but I think ill (unfortunately) have to sort myself a house and other adult (boring) bits before I can really have a go into the car. As much as i really want too.

Ive been at a work party ( i was 23 everyone there was 18-24 probably about 60 of us) I drove in and at no point was i even vaguely tempted to drink anything not even that "Ill have one and ill be fine" mentality. Guess I just dont like the idea of throwing a ton and a half of metal around at anything but my best. I get even more pedantic about it if im driving other people. Dont mind slamming my own dumb ass into a tree but hell if im going to injure someone else. Like you all said though no idea what the attraction is or the need?

Trust me, I have already looked at turbos , but my wallet just shriveled up looking at the price. Maybe in the (very) distant future haha 

I think my entire bank account just got up and left when i looked xD It complained enough when I had to replace my clutch >.>

Thanks for the welcome! It has been nice, to go from a vtec engine screaming at 8600rpm to a growling V6 and a kick in the backside when you give it a boot full, been good to have a go in both, I'll be honest, I sometimes do miss the vtec crossover . It'll just take some getting used to I suppose! But, I did need RWD in my life 

Guess you could always get a couple of turbos on your Zed  Get that kick in the back just like Vtec, just a touch pricey xD

Welcome  So you went from high rev HP to a good amount of torquey grunt. Must be nice to have had a chance to play with both  

Welcome  Dont see too many with the red roof (well at least i havent seen many xD)

From what ive seen you could spend a hundred or spend a hundred thousand xD Seems to be a trait of japanese cars to just have so much aftermarket support for practically everything about them

Also I will admit, a little, tiny, very much jealous of your car xD Nismo in white is just epic.

Looks like the set are in good condition as well

Hey welcome along  Its kind of awesome to see you hold onto your zed for so long

VQ35 would be my choice  

 

I have done exactly the same! It will either make them money or send them the completely opposite way

DE or HR though thats the question  

Saw you coming onto the staples roundabout in a grey/silver convertible as I was going back down towards crown court about 11pmish.

I would hedge a bet and say PM Zmanalex he seems to have all parts Zed related  

Was planning on coming along to this one but had to help my little sister celebrate her GCSE results xD. Hopefully next one I should be back along missed a lot in a row now :/ .

Welcome to the forum  

Ive got an 07 HR as well but you have 100K on me xD Looking really good for that distance though

If you sneak off early I will cover for you mate!

looking forward to seeing you and your +1

Cheers  Dont be too excited just me and my cousin nothing special xD 

As much as I want these wheels I cant warrant not having them insured it just doesnt sit right with me. Thanks everyone for all your information and advice im sure ill be looking elsewhere to renew since not even offering to cover even simple mods seems a bit harsh. just wanted to say sorry for maybe getting your hopes up just to let you down.

So a little question for those of you out there with some knowledge of the law. My insurance has said they will let me change my wheels but they wont be covered. the rest of the car will and my policy will stand but the wheels would be uninsured. Is that actually legal? Or am i just being daft? Turns out they refuse to cover anything non standard (although they sort of are technically OEM parts xD) so i guess i see if its legal to run with no insurance on them or im a bit buggered :/ 

Also quick little question and sorry if its already up somewhere obvious but what sort of time does this all wrap up? My +1 has decided to try and double up on things to do on the 1st so trying to figure out if its possible or if they are just a bit of a numpty >.> 

Actually I didnt even think of the insurer ill have to give them a ring, thanks for jogging my memory. Also letting me know about the extra stud wouldnt have known otherwise.

Thanks for all the information already learnt a few new things i never knew. To be honest this is probably the first car ive ever owned that I would consider having two sets of wheels and tyres for, my dads just kind of giggling away with his 4 wheel drive.

So just to check im understanding this right, 20mm spacers for the front to help them fit and stop them looking dumb, the rears should just sit straight on without any help right?
