i cant make my mind up !!!!!
If you leave it too long, you might not have too!
I have 5 people interested, just waiting now for someone to take the plunge!Maybe I should put it on eBay and let you all
over it! -
do all the gaskets come with it ? does it route differently to an oem exhaust ? does it need extra brackets ? or is it a straight swop ?
Sorry for the late reply, did you edit your post by any chance
To my knowledge it has all the gaskets and perhaps some spares too. Routing is slightly different to standard as there are 2 separate pipes running down the centre of the car instead of the standard single pipe and y-pipe. All standard hangers are used for mounting so no additional ones to my knowledge. Should be a straight swap from the cats back!

did you ever fit it mate ? do all the gaskets come with it ?
No never fitted it, and I'm gutted (rusty bloody bolts)! I could have fitted it but I decided not to risk it in the end incase the bolts did break on the old system and then I'd have a lot of messing around to get the old system back on the car when it was time to sell. As that time came around much quick than planned, the decision was made kind of easy.
Only reason I didn't sell sooner was that I hoped having it might appeal to someone wanting to buy my zed, but no one has really paid any interest in it!Yep, comes with gaskets and bolts!

To answer some of the PM's I have recieved, can I just clarify that yes I did buy this exhaust a few months ago on eBay for £350 + £85 P&P (£435).
I am not trying to rip anybody off with this sale, all I want is my money back! Besides, you will also notice that before I bought the exhaust, I let everybody else on here know about the eBay listing, so everybody had the same chance to buy it as I did! Since I have had the exhaust, I have also spent a good few hours polishing it to it's current condition!!!
£425 is still a great buy for someone, it does annoy me when I get offered less money purely because of what I have paid. When I bought the exhaust at that price my intention was to fit to my car and sell for a little less than when I sold my car. As I have had to sell my car sooner than expected, is it unreasonable to ask for my money back, especially when it was a bargain to begin with??? I don't think so!
I do apologise if I've come across a little strong, I just want to stress my point. The exhaust is for sale at a very reasonable £425. If anybody want's it, that is the price. I'm not a Sengalese watch seller operating in Tenerife, if I was I would have advertised it for £800 to begin with

Word from the NVH guys at work is that the Nismo is very boomy on motorways and for that reason, they weren't too keen on it. Aparantly the DC is much less boomy and more raspy???
No doubt in my mind that the Nismo is a nicer looking system and because it's Nismo (ie Nissan) it will be the choice of many people. However, the DC is a true dual system whereas the Nismo is very similar in design to the standard system. Therfore, you get a lot more for your money with the DC!

I have a DC Sports stainless steel exhaust system for sale, 12 months old, covered less than 6k miles.
Great chance to get one of the best exhaust systems available for the zed at half the new price! Just ask anyone who has one, whether they'd have a Nismo instead
£425 - collection from Northampton due to size. (will fit in the zed by the way!)

Cheers for the advice, I've now deleted that part from the ad on PH.

What beemer you got??? Might be interested in a part ex!

Slow time of year for car sales I think Steve..
This is an all time bargain
Yeah I know, exactly why is Christmas so bloody expensive?!
Fingers crossed though

A year or so ago, some of the guys in our dynamic performance division were playing around at MIRA, testing a number of different tyres for the zed. Michelin Pilot Sports came out top but our friends in Japan still wouldn't put them on for Europe! Shame
Following my collegues advice, I put MPS's on my zed last year and I have to say, although pricey compared to other brands, they are awesome

C'mon guys, I thought that I would have had people biting my hand off at this price!
I know that there are some anti import people out there but I cannot understand the mentality when you are talking about a car which would be out of warranty if it was UK spec. Besides, this car is 99% UK spec, and I should know as I'm a Nissan design engineer! Apart from not having the headlamp washers it looks exactly the same as a UK car, but with the added bonus of the private plate, 06MY LED lights and DVD headunit, which all together cost a small fortune! It even has the CD009 gearbox, which I believe UK cars didn't get until 2005/2006!
To get other imports to a standard like mine would cost well in excess of £2500 and that's if you bought the RAYS and UK exhaust second hand off eBay. If this car was a UK spec, I'm sure it would be worth at least another £1500, why exactly? Even my collegues at work don't realise it's an import!
If insurance is putting you off an import, my premium is the same as a uk car.
-
There are also some really nice cars for sale on here that you might want to look at???
This one is awesome and has all the UK conversions you'd want plus a DVD headunit and private plate!

Me, on one of the best roads in Europe!!!

No need to haggle Louis, I'm now open to offers over £14,000 for anyone on here.
You will not find a better zed for the money (UK or JDM)!
-
maybe these?
that's what the NOVIDEM nissan zed had on...
The Novidem has 18'' bronze Nismo LMGT4 wheels not these! I know because I've just been sitting in it
-
It now also has the bonnet lifters fitted that I ordered through Big Phil. Although I swapped the struts with some nice black Stabilus ones, which fit a bit better and look a little more oem!
C'mon guys, someone snap it up for xmas please!

Finally joined the club!

Yep, standard for a JDM Version S that is. I know that the dampers are more firm than UK spec but there might be a possiblity of it having a lower posture too??? Can't say I ever noticed it TBH, might be a camera trick though!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
Wanna buy mine and save yourself a few bob instead??? haha

New pics now added to pistonheads advert, plus some others here:

Don't you just love em?!
Got a call on Thurday evening from a guy who sounded really keen on my zed. Apparently he is a friend of a guy at work so I thought he would be pretty legit.
He arranged to come and view the car today at 2pm, so I gave up my weekend to clean the car like she's never been cleaned before! She looked absolutely spanking this morning, like brand new! So I sat in anticipation for 2pm to come..............and go! At half past the guy called me and said that he wouldn't be coming anymore because over the last couple of days he has decided against the idea of buying a new car! Thanks for the advance warning pal! What an absolute waste of a weekend and the weather was good to boot!
Anyway, here's a few pics of my baby after her bath!

Trev, I didn't get it mate.

Hi, I have a brand new set of Bosch Aerotwin retrofit wiper blades for sale. I bought these a few weeks ago but as I'm now selling my zed, I have no use for them.
Got them on eBay, see link:
This is what they look like on a zed!
Save yourself a fiver, looking for £20 (inc. postage!)

What do you mean "NISSAN" number plate? N15 SAN?
Unfortunately not quite, but it is very close to that. My one didn't cost £12,000 though
