Kingsley Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hello to everyone first and foremost. I bought my Zed back in October of last year, it is a 57 plate HR in midnight blue. I have only just got around to signing up, tho I am a member over on the Facebook groups. I am looking to get to some shows this year and meet fellow ZedHeads and see a load of cool Zeds. I am mainly looking to be going to JapFest and maybe a couple other meets so I shall add myself to that list I see floating somewhere for JapFest. Anyway more about my Zed, here is a list of current mods, all done by previous owner: - Full Invidia Gemini exhaust - Berk HFCs - 25mm rear spacers and 20mm on the front - Carbon wing mirror covers - HKS panel filters - Braied break lines - Pioneer head unit - A spoiler of some sort - LED lights in the bumper (not 100% what they are called) - RAYS alloys refurbished in chrome black (need another referb tbh) - Oil gallery gasket replaced - UpRev remap so it is now actually pushing 313BHP I have a few mods in the pipeline which I can hopefully get installed before any meets. I have some HSD mono pros to be installed, also a nismo style front lip and roof spoiler which I want both to be wrapped or dipped in carbon fibre, these were all from everyone’s fav tarmac sportz. Never the less here are a few shots of my Zed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsley Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hello everyone, thanks for the warm welcome and nice words about my Zed As stated above, there aren’t many midnight blues about, I take it they were not a common sale back during the production runs, I personally think the mid blue is the best Zed colour How do I go about finding more mid blues to look at? As I’m looking for inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get that lip on ASAP as it really completes the front end, I'd also recommend some side diffusers from Tarmac also as with the front lip and side steps, it completes the car in my opinion, gives it more of an aggressive look, (got both installed on mine). If you are thinking of changing the wheels, if you're like me, you'll spend a considerable amount of time of your life going backwards and forwards choosing between colours. I am finally set on one, but not going to say what colour it is because I won't want to sway you (or anyone for that matter) on whether you go for this colour or that colour.

Hello Eroll, The slim side skirts are deffo on the cards along with side and rear diffuser. Eventually I will look into getting a bigger spoiler. Tho nothing as wild as the BGW tho. As for alloy colour I will be sticking with the black chrome for sure as I think it really goes with tho overall colour scheme tho in regards to style I would be looking at the most concave set I can get on without having to extend the arches. Here is a test fit pic of the lip from a week back. I am waiting for warmer weather to try and instal it myself. I agree they look so much better with the front lip!

Hey Kingsley, With everything fitted, I do really believe it finishes the car off, although, I keep going backwards and forwards with the idea of a rear diffuser, not 100% decided yet. What style of spoiler would you be looking at? Ducktail like you have now or a different style? I have to admit, the black chrome will look pretty good on a night blue, me on the other hand, I'm most likely going in the other direction for colour haha. What style of wheel would you be after? There are plenty of different ones out there that luckily, don't require any arch work. Wasn't a big fan of the LED strips where the reflectors were as I thought they looked quite tacky but the more I see them, the more I like them....... Test fit looks pretty decent . How are you going to fit it. With screws or tape? Or if you're feeling crazy, maybe both? Thanks, Eroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrt Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi and welcome. Got the same colour....big difference if you lower yours and put some nice wheels on.I managed to get some HTC 19inch Volkswagen split rims which set the car off well imho.

Hey mrt, I know you have got Tein lowering springs in your signature, but just to make sure, are they the S Tech springs? Looking at getting some 19" Grids soon, so if they look half as good as yours, I will be well happy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrt Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hi again. To be honest I couldn,t tell you whether they are s tech springs,only that they,re brande Tein and are green ! By the way ,my previous post said I had Volkswagen wheels....should have checked....they are of course Volks//Rays.Pretty rare I believe as they are a discontinued line now. They also come with a gold spoke setup. Only drawback is that they are AnodisedAluminium so you can’t use the usual alloy cleaner on them. there,s an excellent YouTube video showing a blue z with these wheels and a good example of the guys engine dress....great music background too. type in the YouTube search bar San Marino blue 350 Z Michael Tegasantos .Let me know your thoughts.

In regards to alloys they will be another last, as I do quite like the rays so I am in no hurry to change them as I have other issues to address first on the car for example changing the banana arms as they are shot and I think CSC is on its way out so I am going to install a braided clutch line and see if anything changes. Here are some wheels I like: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some wheels I like: Great choices of everything! The XT206R's are my dream wheels! Great mix of dish and concave. My brother would love you for having the Cosmis S1's as a choice, he's a huge fan of them. I personally prefer the XT206R, more aggressive looking. I think they will be my second wheels I buy though (eventually) when I'm brave enough to slam the thing on the ground haha. Practical good looking wheels first! Great choice on the wing too, not many cars can pull off that style but the Z sure can, similar to the Nismo wing just more in your face! I'm sure there are a couple of traders on here that can sort you out with the parts you need . Keep us updated with your progress!
