  1. Mine has a noticable clutch noise at idle that dissapears when driving or pedal depressed. Seem to remember a post about some elements of the clutch plate wearing unevenly? dunno...

     

    Could it be something like a back plate on the clutch becoming loose? Keen to hear what folks think as I think I have a less severe case of the same thing!

     

    Considering an uprated clutch and flywheel in the near future anyhow!

  2. I have been running some EBC Redstuff pads on the Zed for a while. They are a great fast road pad with good cold performance and lots of confidence when hot.

     

    My disks are getting a bit tired now so I want to replace them, does anyone have any advice on which to go for?

     

    I want to keep my Brembo calipers and the EBC pads so looking towards a drilled / grooved disk of similar size.

     

    Cheers

  3. I park my car up during the week under trees and in an area very popular with cats... so I bought my cover from www.airflow-uk.com

     

    Although they dont list the Zed in the product dropdown they do supply a custom cover.

     

    I paid £100 for the outdoor cover and its been brilliant. Totally waterproof over the winter and a good fit [though not as tailored as the Nissan one]

     

    Definately recommend it

  4. Hi all,

     

    Been slowly getting my car up to a good standard of 'detail'. My Rays look good from a distance [except for a previous owner curbing :rant: ] except that no matter what products / methods I try, I cant shift some staining on the inside rim of the wheels.

     

    I am loathed to try anything too abrasive as I dont want to ruin the finish - so I think the only way I will get them as good as I want is to get them fully refurbished.

     

    Anyone know any good companies round London or products to give them a new lease of life?

     

    Cheers

  5. Thanks guys, will pm Phil.

     

    I got it from Temple Tuning - despite delay in shipping from Japan post Christmans, it was great service. £125 delivered.

     

    Think it looks deceptivly far back as there is the big gaping hole from the old filter box.

     

    Any tips on next best mod to do? Really want a NISMO exhaust but keen to do something else while I am saving up!

  6. Hi all,

     

    For ages I couldnt decide which induction kit to go for. Was pretty sold on a Pop charger, but having read some articles on Apexi filerts, thought I'd give them a try.

     

    Fitted it pretty easily, although the the bottom screw from the airbox is a right pain to get at!

     

    On the road its only marginally louder under 3000 revs, but once you give it some, it sounds awesome.

     

    Happy with the look of it, dont think grainy mobile photos do it justice. The only downside is that there isnt a heat shield - anyone know where to get one?

    Good work guys - well up for Donny

  8. I went with Admiral when I got my 04 Zed when I was 23 in 2006. 3 yrs no claims, clean license £680.

     

    However, move to London, another year older, 4 years no claims and its £900 - with a lowly 6,000 mile limit.

     

    Does include no claims protection and of course the mandatory addition of the girlfriend [saved nearly £300].

     

    Elephant were a joke when they quoted for me!

  9. Hi - new to the site, very impressed so far. Have an 04 GT that I am keen to get an exhaust for. Dont want to go mega loud but need something more than standard. From what I hear Nismo system is the way forward?

     

    Prices seem way better in the USA - has anyone imported an exhaust? Is there any difference mechanically between US and UK cars?

     

    Cheers
