chris I went gold on his gunmetal and i think it looks really good, completely red for me is too much. but the dark colour works well, maybe highlight the lip in red?

i use the forum, and the nissan service checksheet, i then go down to my independent motorsports garage, and get them to do it. i supply the bits i want them to use like oil etc, and they fit it. i did it on my last p3 and they were awesome. will be the same with my p1 in 5 months time

same as if you run it on any other oil on the zed its every 9000 miles

thats because the serviceing on the zed is confusing, most dealerships don't know what needs doing. most can't tell you why it costs more for a P3 compared to a P2.

They are an optional extra, apart from the service at 52,000-54,000, you can change them beofre then if you want but manufacture states it will go all the way to 50 odd before new ones are required

what about the dotz touges http://www.dotz-alloys.co.uk/dotz-touge ... _65130.htm

nice

don't like the vomit green colour though

Happy B'day Beavis tee-pee, tee-pee for my bung hole

you'll proably find your air filter if its an open cone is suffering heat soak, and will loose you some ponies. also a stainless exhaust may loose you some torque as well. mods only make a difference once the car has been remapped to make full use of them. go have a search for abbey motorsport and rs tuning, there are lots of dyno grpahs in them, especially the abbey one. showing pre and post tunes. also shows what mods people are using. as for sparks, have a look on the envy website, under their service section, you can pick them out in their and it will give you a price as well. sparks on the zed are done every 52,000 miles which is a long change interval, if your near that they won't be as clean and sparking as well as they would at 20,000 miles. also dynos are only good for benchmarking. so if your planning to mod it tells you your starting point, and you can then see what your improvements are from there. don't base your figures on the stated manual ones, you may never have had all 276bhp to start with, others have had more.

its just annoying

a mate had one at work, owned it 6 months and spent 4k keeping it repaired but f**k me sideways it was fast if i had to go FWD hot hatch i think thats what i'd get, its just a bit more grown up, but still completely insane

you were told wrong. 276bhp 297bhp 309bhp last one i think is 309, although it might be 313, can't remember off hand. all the info is in the search function, and thread stickies at the top of the performance section. as for sparks, in the service manual they are due their first change at about 52000

that fiddy pic of a ferrari breadvan is lovely

stock is 276 bhp to make back what you've lost you need to get an uprev remap done to the stock ECU. if its got 50,000 on the clock its due fresh spark plugs, a good service will help, quality oil, also the early cars varied alot on the quoted figure, you probably haven't lost that much, its just what you started with. also different dyno's read differently, so if you get a remap, i'd go back to the place you just used, and get them to do a comparitve one again.

never heard it called that before

i thought it was constructive Ofcourse you did. Your just a confused little man Yeh they are defo marmite wheels. However i do love them I just dont want to go down the same old route. If i wasnt getting a respray I would fork out the big bucks for the wheels but the spray will be about 3k lol i'd go for a wrap, and save the money, the car will then still retain its originality and can be returned to normal

i'd still have an alfa GTA over a focus

top ones look like merc wheels, bottom ones look to fat. neither compliment the zed :yuk: sorry jay, back to the drawing board

just watched it, makes for a worrying future if life really did head that way, we're all dooooooooooooomed i tell ya

bit late there guys

i asked for it to be split, stew just went further back than i had planned

i like the 240z, the 60z and the 80z look very similiar, i'm guessing because its the first, the 240z was in its purest zed form, hence it demands the highest value?

not had that problem yet, touch wood

the key issue should be remedied soon, apparently carbon coops is working on a carbon flip key for the zed
