Just trying to find a way of helping all Zed owners so they know whats going on where and who is good and bad

Shame we havnt got a joint dealer league between the 2 sites as these guys wernt even on the list... Perhaps someone could sort one out on here as a sticky on the same grounds as the one on the OC (http://forums.DELETED.com//ind ... opic=10087) and then we can combine the info once a month or so? Also need to do a joint Main Dealer Service Cost (http://forums.DELETED.com//ind ... opic=14959) so that people can see the best price service deals.... Just a thought!

Wilsons Nissan told me pads were 70% gone on the fronts, fair enough... Ordered Endless pads from Kev, They just forgot to tell me that the rears were metal on metal!... Lucky Kev at envy was able to supply at short notice to another garage... Funny enough I was thinking afterwards that I hadnt given them the locking wheelnut, so there was no way they could have seen if the rears were worn!

Whats bad to know is if you get a free 30day wtee and then take out an extended wtee they dont give you the 30 days, so take the 30 days and then take out the extended wtee after it as you will have to pay and excess! Also, Nissan dealers arnt linked so if you do get an issue then you need to take it to the original purchase dealer if you have an issue... Saying that I would pay the little bit extra and buy off a dealer again!

Was at SS on Saturday and your right about the noise!!! Aston sounded amazin as did the Corvette and the Spykers! Put the Porsches to shame!

Yeh seen them twice in London, great live band and the lead singer has a great voice, lead guitar is bl00dy brilliant! Throw a few pics up!!

Shame it was on the same weekend. All clubs need support! It was supposed to be a parade lap, but it didnt end up being one, hung at the back of the pack to slow and then get some speed up, but it seems everyone else infront had the same idea!! If you look on one of the incar pics you can just see the GPS speed log... 138mph on the Hanger Straight... Used a 10-20mm lens which is just off "fisheye" length, think most were taken at 10mm, pics were in RAW and then ran a script to turn into JPG and then resized in photoshop and may have got the dimensions wrong so apologies, still learning this picture malarky!!

And a few other cars that were hanging about....

More!!

More...

A few shots from the meet... In car Rollin

Another Alter Bridge fan!!! Brilliant!

Arnt Nemisis official Veilside distributers??????????? Can anyone with a spoiler confirm this is the case with the sticker? Cause if they do then thats SHOCKING....

Judging by the plate its an Import, might be worth stating so not to confuse?

No box...... Nemisis problem mate... It wasnt packaged in the right way... It came from Japan in a cardboard box so why not from their place... If you look under the spoiler there should be a veilside sticker on it with a code / production number...

Thats not courior damage, thats bad workmanship, think Andy had the same issue with his airbrake.. sorry spoiler.. Just looked at the pics again and its shocking workmanship...If you really like it then I would get nemisis to pay for the bodyshop repair as that looks like the only way its gonna sort it out... That would be a hard for couriers to damage in that way.. a knock on the corner from being dropped maybe.. What was the cardboard box like? Look like it had been squashed by an elephant? Lets see what the traders do to sort that one out.. Also, having bought a veilside carbon lip, the fitting is pretty bad, that is unless Zeds in Japan are about an inch narrower than the UK ones!!

Pics?

I dont use anything on the wash stuff as it has shampoo on on the cloths already so just put them through on 40 degree wash... Dont put washing powder on as it dosnt always disolve fully and then you get bits that will scratch your car.. Dont use conditioner as it stops the water collecting in the cloth, as it leaves a "waxy" type residue, woman at House of Fraser told me that one when I was buying my bath towels! Dont put anything with polish or wax on in the machine or your machine will stink for ages as will all your clothes!! Found this out last weekend!! I now put the polish / wax cloths in a sealable bag and then attach them to the bottle / tub with an elastic band... Or write the name of the wax / polish on the outside of the bag... Just bought some AutoGlym HD wax at the AutoTuner show at Brands Hatch and used it for the 1st time on Friday, great stuff, comes with 2 application pads that are already damp in a sealed bag, and a microfibre polishing cloth, goes on real nice after polishing... One coat so far, wont be long till I got about 10 coats on am sure... Washed it twice, polished with autoglym polish, waxed with HD then finished with Megs quick detailer, looks v nice

You have PM. So do you!! You got satnav in your car? I may also have a kenwood KOS-L702 7" screen for grabs, you just need to get the kenwood sat nav unit to fit in the rear cubby for a sweet install!

I have a spare one that has been done in GM :-) With a retracting door and sat nav holder!! All the other ones that are available apart from carbon are overlays and just sit ontop, ie dont go down the side and look like poo to me!!

Yep, fit fine, seem like the same settings as my GT-S anyway!

Ah the famous VeilSide airbrake Looks like the repair will sort out that little problem. Few Veilsides kitted cars on the forum now, so that will make a nice addtion I am sure... Hasnt someone just done a blue one?

Hi All, I know that a few people are off to ZedFest this weekend but there is another meet happening on Sunday the 14th of Sept in Kettering at Wicksteed Park (http://www.wicksteedpark.co.uk/).

Restored Datsun 240Z (with thanks to NMGB) Nismo S-Tune GT Fairlady Z (with thanks to NMGB) R34 GT-R (with thanks to NMGB) Racing Simulator based on RJN Motorsport 350Z Race Spec 1972 KPGC10 Skyline GT-R (with thanks to Alan Thomas) Powerhouse Amuse 2008 R35 GT-R (with thanks to Ben Linney - GTC) Anyway, if your in the area, please feel free to drop in and say Hi. We will be about from 9am till about 3.30/4pm. Cheers Mark Its all about the Zed baby, its all about the Zed

If anyone is looking in the south of England, I would highly recommend O'Rourkes. http://www.coachtrimmers.com/ I havnt had work done there (YET!!) but went to see him the other day..... Amazing work.. The guy had done a very very expensive ferrari that won some major concours competitions and from that he was asked to do ferrari owned by the owner of Louis Vitton... Some accolade! Best thing was he was the least expensive of all the quotes that I got for the work I want doing

What does that mean? Joke, ie you have owned a zed, know what they can do at certain revs, and the sounds they make and probably given them a bit of hammer... So you would make a great "test pilot" It was a play on that... But to someone that didnt know you, you would make a worrying test pilot, as you know the cars (as we all would )
