1CE Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Silly question but I can figure out what engine I have or whether it's a facelift or not. Can anyone give me any pointers on what to look for? It's an 06 plate, single intake if that helps . The gallery gaskets failed too if that helps? Cheers, Ben. Edited October 19, 2017 by 1CE Quote
GMballistic Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Engine wise it sounds like a VQ35 DE as it has the single air intake. What does the cars rev counter redline at? 6.5K rpm or 7K rpm? 6.5K rpm and it's an older DE (276Bhp) engined Zed, 7K rpm and it's an UpRev DE (296Bhp) Zed. Any interior pictures Ben? 1 Quote
1CE Posted October 19, 2017 Author Posted October 19, 2017 Hi thank you for that . Very helpful! From what I can see it redlines at 6.5k rpm so I guess that makes it a DE. Here's a few pictures of the interior. Excuse the cat, he shadows me everywhere ! 2 Quote

SHEZZA Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) +1 on the cat. Your car is definitely a pre facelift DE for sure. However I'm a little confused on the oil gallery gaskets failing as I was to understand that was a HR problem. Edited October 20, 2017 by SHEZZA Quote

1CE Posted October 20, 2017 Author Posted October 20, 2017 The cat seems to like sleeping in the boot when working on the car . Thanks for the help everyone . I'm getting myself crossed with the gallery gaskets. I had the inlet, rocker, throttlebody gaskets changed when I got it as it had a serious oil leak! Not to mention filling the cabin with smoke from oil landing on the exhaust ! Ben. Quote
coldel Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Needs decatting, or sports cat? I'll get my coat... 1 1 Quote
1CE Posted October 20, 2017 Author Posted October 20, 2017 It's much quicker when the cat isn't in the car . Already looking at berk decats and ARK Grip exhaust . I've got a long list of things to do in order to get it sound. The previous owner appears to have parked it under a tree for a long time...It's covered in tree sap! Quote
Payco Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 We need to do a cat meet. Looks like my little black and white cat - Molly. BTW You have a DE. Quote

davey_83 Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Yes however reg date wouldnt confirm which DE it had fitted. We've all seen RevUps with lower tax and early DE's that fall into the high tax range. Edited October 21, 2017 by davey_83 1 Quote
AMT Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 The cat picture made this post lol I wasn't expecting a car...in a Zed haha Quote
