  1. Since fitting my high flow cats my cobra system is a bit too loud for track which is a shame as it sounds glorious so looking for a stock or ideally Nismo exhaust, happy to do a deal with my cobra system!
  2. I'd also pack a spare coil pack or two, if you haven't recently replaced them some cam and crank sensors electronic failure can be a real pita
  3. Horsham developments is where you want to go
  4. Today I went car shopping and spent a bit more than I was meant to if I wanted to keep my zed so here it is for sale, it a 2003 auto import, it shows 119k on the clock but I think it's actually less than this as uk clocks were swapped into it when it arrived in UK, it drives too well for 119k anyway I bought it in May relatively stock then I started putting my parts on the car. The mods are: Motordyne plenum spacer Jwt intake Jwt sump spacer Catch can Mishimoto radiator Oil cooler Trans cooler Power steering cooler Works bell paddle shifter Remap? Torqen hfc Milltek y pipe Isr single exit Dba discs Brembo hp2000 front pads Braided lines Motul rbf600 Hsd monopro coilovers Gktech lockout bolts Driftworks camber arm Whiteline front and rear arbs Gktech toe arm D1 spec throttle controller Blitz brain Pioneer double din Carbon mines style front lip Carbon nismo style spats 370z wheels with 275 35 19, 255 40 19 Eagle f1 supersports 25mm front spacer Recently fitted hitachi cam sensors New spark plugs not fitted New Hitachi crank sensor not fitted Just had oil change Samco coolant hoses Boot divider UK clocks Tarmac sportz undertray As you can see its had some money thrown at it all it really needs now is an alignment and a remap to get the most out of it. Yes it is an auto but the works bell paddle shifters really make it fun to drive apparently the gearbox can shift faster than a human and I belive it. One of the best bits of it being an auto aside from the power folding mirrors is the complete lack of any bad rust, yes there is some light surface rust underneath here and there but nothing to even get remotely worried about, arches are stupidly clean. Bad points few marks on bodywork here and there as to be expected with the age of the car, seat switches don't work that well, exhaust may have a slight blow. I'm afraid I'm firm on the price at £5.5k as I'm sure you know some of the parts are not cheap, the wheels and tyres alone owe me around £1200!
  5. Did the Hitachi sensor sort this?
  6. Nice car mate, can't beat an import
  7. Nice car, did you go auto in the end, its a surprisingly good box isn't it?
  8. If I ever went to Japan I have to leave the credit card at home!
  9. Glws that is a good investment for someone prices are only going one way
  10. Was the coil pack also unbranded? Mine is jdm and I run uk parts on it with no problem. I'd try hitachi cam sensors then see if you have an issue
  11. What brand sensor did you fit? I hear they can be a bit sensitive
  12. I'd think the main stealer are the only ones who will touch the wheels and only as they have to, they will also damage them of course. I can't see any regular tyre shop willing to touch them, if they get damaged they can't just send them round the corner to their mats Daves shop to be repaired.
  13. Ceramic suds is not a foamy wash, there is an autobrite video on ceramic shampoos, which is probably the same as the car chem version, with regards to snow foam, thick foam doesn't really do that much, it foamed up as I'd expect on my car, shifted a bit of dirt, about the same level as polar blast does. I am happy with the results I got rained overnight and had some good beading for a quick wash
  14. Im liking the stuff so far, using it on my truck, ceramic suds is bizarre, really grabby which I don't like but immediately gets water sheeting from the car, I then used the waterless lotus, there was still a film of dirty on the bodywork so used the lotus and its come up gleaming, the z will get a bit more attention, still dk t trust waterless washed on a car that I care about the bodywork.
  15. Received mine today, pretty much the same stuff as Andy, some interesting stuff to try, the waterless wash stuff intrigues me, may only get used for removing bird muck, will prob test it on the Mrs car first!
  16. It seems some people are happy with what they got some aren't but for the money no one can really complain, it's just a bit of fun really
  17. This deal runs out today at midnight by the looks of things
  18. I have gone for the 500 and 1 litre, seems like a good deal!
  19. I would make the journey to Horsham developments, it's only 1:45 min or so and we'll worth it, he can also sort your alignment out as well
  20. I have the auto dip and fold mirrors and the auto dj controls which do absolutely nothing in UK but are a nice little extra, keep thinking about selling it to some Americans as they love that stuff. A stigma about having a jdm car is ridiculous, so what if they are cheaper? They are generally cheaper and better condition with lower milage and less rust, speaking from experience of having over 25 jdm cars they are normally a far far better buy, they actually respect their cars in Japan and properly care for them. Also with everyone saying get a UK car if the op wants a vert auto then his only choice is a jdm one and there are not in ambundance... The downsides such as triple gauge and see delimit can be solved cheaply and in about 20 minutes
  21. My import has all of those things and more cool jdm stuff that doesn't work over here. Also regarding the UK had auto statement... We didn't it was manual only
  22. Sport mode raises shift point and just livens it up a bit
  23. Good luck on your hunt, I have an auto and love it, I have the works bell paddle shifters on mine and it make sthe car pretty close to perfect in my eyes!
