  1. Just trying to help matey I know bud, its just amazing how lateral the thinkng needs to be to fix small probs on the Zed All good stuff Yep, you have to have a wierd mind, like mine
  2. Just trying to help matey blue peter ? orange ian i find draught excluder is good for this sort of job, ( the stuff you use around window frames ) thats the stuff
  3. Just trying to help matey
  4. I know where that is coming from, it's the trim strip that fits the A pillar against the windscreen, try pushing some card temporarily in the gap, and see if that sorts it sats
  5. Had an awfull zizzing noise coming from the inside of the Zed for a while now, decided enough was enough and striped out the plastic trim in the rear, ALL of it and put some thin strips of sticky foam on the inside edges of the trim NO MORE ZIZZING NOISES SATS
  6. Steve, she looks awesome mate someone is going to be very lucky
  7. Paul First, fitting hiflows should NOT put the CEL light on, not unless a lambda probe has been damaged removing it, or one has just decided it's had enough, they are really tight to get out of the cats, and can be damaged if not extremely carefull when removing. Secondly, the Kinetix cats are a lot lighter than the Nissan ones, and as such do not require the brace bar, just keep it in case you sell them in the future, and wish to revert to the originals. And yes they do sound awesome, especially with an aftermarket zorst enjoy Paul. ps, try an ECU reset Ian SATS
  8. Sounds like an immobiliser fault, fitting a CAI won't make it cut out unless you forgot to plug the MAF sensor multiplug back in Sats
  9. Lee, welcome matey, i also sold my M3 and ended up with a Zed, enjoy SATS
  10. Simon, funny that, i also wouldn't do it to mine even though i think they can look ok
  11. That's interesting because I also prefer the old heavy clutch. I'm now well used to the lighter clutch but do miss the old one. Guy GUY Glad someone agrees matey, i was begining to think twas me being stoopid
  12. agreed they can look good but on a standard car i'm not so sure, the car has to be ott to carry it off imo i wouldnt imagine considering the size of the market for these that there are many manufacturers to choose from, can you name a good/bad one ? Andy is probably the best man to speak to on this. zedrush also had them on his first car. You basically get what you pay for in then end. Agree they would look naff on a standard car. Agree with you lot , look great on a well modded car, but bleedin stupid on a standard one SATS
  13. To be brutally honest, i personally prefer the slightly heavier clutch and gearchange the earlier model has, i know it isn't for everyone, but it suits me just fine
  14. That is one very tasty motor, someone is going to be VERY lucky to own it

    Blasphemour!!! I believe they use 'ours'. From what ive read its a Nissan engine which Renault started using ?? Can anyone else confirm or deny this? Dave, you are correct, renault used it in the Velsatis, fugly bastard thing.

    No, the VQ 35 engine is designed and built in Japan by Nissan SATS
  17. crap, hence the price. That's what i like, a man who doesn't beat about the bush hiya Phil I think we both know we speak our minds without exception, how you doing Ian. Phil, i'm fine matey, hows the new shop coming on etc, best of luck with it and all Ian
  18. Cheers Nah, promised myself im not gonna go bonkers with the Zed engine wise Maybe the basic exhaust, induction, plenum spacer, sports cats etc. Want to concentrate on getting it looking just right , although i think the NISMO kit looks stunning already, so i think it will be the little details to make it my own Dave, agree mate, the Nismo kit does really suit the Zed, wouldn't change my kit for any other Sats

    MPG....

    If you are really gassing it you should not be seeing more than 13-15 mpg let alone 17 to 19, so get your foot down! Will promiss to try harder

    MPG....

    Can get 28 to 32 on a long run, 17 to 19 gassing it , the latter is more fun
  21. crap, hence the price. That's what i like, a man who doesn't beat about the bush hiya Phil
  22. Dave, welcome matey enjoy, awesome looking motor. SATS, from the OTHER side Took you'r time gettin here also
  23. Well, if you don't ask, you don't know, but me thinks a lot of crap is also marketed at higher prices, just because something is expensive, it isn't always of the best quality, but i get the point.
  24. Anti roll bar bushes fail on these regularly, hard to tell sometimes visualy but it will clunk when braking if they have. Sats
