Stuggerz Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Afternoon all, thought it was about time I started one of these. Picked up my 2004 Azure GT in September 2015. 64000 on the clock, Official V1 nismo kit, 18" Chrome lip LMGT4'S and a R35 GTR exhaust conversion. (Will add a pic of the exhaust later) I travelled to Norwich to pick up. Nice 4 hour drive back to Southampton. Once back I sent the zed into Nissan for a health check etc... Results came back great. Other than a banana arm that needed replacing. (Obviously didn't go through nissan to get that done lol. They priced it at over £500!!!! Got it done else where for a third of the cost. Also had door dents taken out. Current small mods to date: JWT Popcharger. (Tarmac Sports) Carbon Fibre nismo shift Private plates Boot divide (Ian) Mods to follow: Plenum spacer Tien springs Remap Steering wheel retrim (with flat bottom) Sadly for the zed progress is slow.. due to my roof on the house needing replacing lol. So over the next few months I will be adding bits and pieces. At the moment I am not being to adventurous on exterior mods. (But saying that this forum changes my mind every week. So many amazing mods available) Below are a few images of my Zed over the last 10 months of ownership. First image is my old ep3 type R with my zed and my mates GTR. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'll be picking some of that up before I fit the Rays then! I don't know what I'd do without fallout remover now... turns all your brake dust purple and it dissolves it completely. Smells a bit sulfury though but worth it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanhavana Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Nice Z! I use the Autoglym wheel cleaner and it's not 'that' good. Saw something on Facebook about 'Merlins Blood' which looks to have a similar purple effect whilst cleaning wheels so maybe I'll give this a try! Would love to see some pics of the GTR exhaust, still got mine that needs to be done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 ^^ I use Dodo Juice Ferrous Dueller as it has a slightly better smell and clings really well too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeckUK Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It's basically the same as what you have used minus the smell Marlins blood has a cherry smell so you're not gagging every second like when I used iron X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuggerz Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 A few pics taken on my fone before the storm, 22.6.16 ( not clean but still looks shiney ) Had plenum delivered by Horsham Dev yesterday, so will fit this weekend. Plus picked up another interior strut cover to wrap. Pics to follow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuggerz Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Afternoon all, so today I took my hand to wrapping a spare interior strut cover. Original Stripped Wrapped vs OEM Fit As a 1st attempt I am happy with the result. Happy with the black carbon but may do the blue carbon zed again in a darker blue.. or poss a silver. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuggerz Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Cheers guys will admit that wrapping is definitely a 2 man job. Have to thank my uncle for the time he has pumped into the zed mods so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
