UK car for under £6k?? Dude thats too cheap - you're killing the market for everyone else

No way used to smell failed cats all the time when they first started putting them on cars... not smelled one in years. Buster - Take the opportunity to replace with uprated parts

Lets not dis the guys car here... i was dissing the lazy auction attempt idec - on a pretty much weekly basis we see eBay adds with 'claimed' bhp figures from people who blatantly dont know about zeds. I thought this was one of those ebay adds as it doesnt really detail any of the effort that's gone into the car If you're asking £14.5k for it, i think you need to demonstrate the effort that has gone into the car rather than saying 'To much to list etc etc etc etc'. It makes the viewer not believe your auction, and also suggests that the car the car hasnt been lovingly crafted with an attention to detail - like it's just been thrown together. Thats just my opinion though. I think the car looks good though tbh, apart from the bonnet vents. GLWTS...

No way... fair enough then but still a crazy price. It's the laziness/lack of engine detail on the auction which i found amusing... if you're going to spend £5k extra on a car for the engine, it needs to be detailed properly what you're getting.

Just seen this on the related items link from Irfans ebay link... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-2 ... 6016596496 £14500 With the main 'selling point' being that it has had an engine rebuild, detailed by saying 'The engine modifications are too long to list, eg forged pistons, connecting rods, cam shafts, valves, etc, etc, etc.' Discuss....

Tesco is ace... i went on a supercar drive with my vouchers: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=43702&hilit=tesco

Humbrol hobby paint No. 54 will also also do the trick: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=47348&hilit=humbrol

Enjoy yourself fella... very jealous

Okay, changed my mind - i can definitely feel it now Been out for a spin today, just friving it round town and you can really feel the difference! I wouldnt call it a performance mod per-se but it does yield some interesting results... Thanks guys for your help and Col for spotting it.

Looks very Just hope it lasts for you...

Maybe it's just me... I'll take it for another spin tomorrow and reprot back.

I dont believe so Sam... unless the previous owners did it. That said this zed does feel much quicker than my last one so who knows (going off to check all previous posts relating to my car now!) James and Col... i followed the guide below which was on the EPRacing thread... this seems to be the same settings i get (despite it being a different version controller ) I've just sat in the car with the ignition on and the engine off and depressed the throttle a bit and held it there. I then cycled through the modes, and can see the throttle position difference between them (Eco5 was 25, Nor was 30, and SP7 was 60) so i can clearly see that it is doing something.... i just couldnt feel it whilst driving. Edit - forgot to paste the guide:

Mine's a V1 too... will go have a play now and see what happens. Cheers fellas.

When i installed it, i held Set for 7 seconds, and then press he throttle until it said 1.5 and pressed set again, then pressed the peddle down fully till it said 2.0 then pressed set again - and that was it... have i missed anything?

Well... this arrived today... took me 5 mins to install and.... it didnt work. It wasnt getting any power so i thought it was fooked, but it turned out that the power wires on the ODB2 connector just needed re-soldering... phew So set it up and went for a drive... and i cant say i've noticed much difference to be honest It was a little damp outside, so my test was doing a launch in 1st in eco, normal and SP7. In eco the wheels didnt spin so easily, and in SP7 they did... so maybe thats all i'll notice. Verdict: Bargain, but ot sure yet.

This is exactly the same noise as mine with uprated clutch and lightweight fly...

I'll sell it you for £80

Result - nice one Coldel - i snapped this up for 40 quid.

+ 1 - or a dangly air freshener inside.

im getting angry just reading this thread. Tractors is another one for me... i have to drive down an A-road for 12 miles every day for my daily commute, and 4 days out of five i'll be stuck in a 30 car queue behind a tractor at 8.50am. If i was a farmer i'd wait till after 9am before going out on the road.

I hate people who pull out of a junction right in front of you, they know you will have to slow down, then they dribble along slowly and turn left again almost immediately! +1. When someone does this, i tailgate them and flash my lights

I ride and i'd never dream of cycling 2 abreast when i know cars are behind me - it's the most stupid, arrogant thing to do. For me, aside from middle lane hoggers also, it's people who dont indicate whilst going round a roundabout - forcing me to stop suddenly, or not be able to maintain my speed when pulling out.

Great idea - good shout mate.
