zedwagon Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi there I am a new(ish) owner of a '52 JDM zed. I have had it for a couple of months now and am enjoying it!! I've been looking at the site for a while and would like to say thanks for all the useful info which helped when i bought it. It's now time for its 30k service and my local garage has asked me to find out exactly what that entails and to try and find out part numbers for any necessary parts as they've had trouble with imports and part numbers before (mazda he said) so... can anyone tell me exactly what a 30k service includes and whether the uk car parts fit i.e. filters etc also, when are the service intervals - are they every 10k or 12k miles? or does anyone know a good garage in south manchester that would be good to take it to? help is much appreciated!! p.s. I have come from a MINI cooper s works and other MINIS used to wave occasionally - i've seen a few zeds round and about but no-one seems to wave - is it not the done thing in a zed??!!

Trev-the-Rev Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi and The Zed has a 9000 mile service interval and is done on the basis of P1, P2, P1, P3. with 30k on the clock you have either yet to have the second P1 with is really nothing more than an oil and filter change, or it's coming up for the P3 which is the major one. I'm not sure exactly what this entails as I haven't had one on mine yet, bit I'm sure someone will be along soon with the info you need.

mbs Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Heelo & welcome. 30k doesn't mean a great deal, the recommended service interval is 9K or 12 months. The service required depends, the order is P1, P2, P1, P3 P1 etc so you can work out which is required. Re the work required for each of the services it is detailed in the service manual, if you haven't got one PM me and I can copy mine and send it to you.

Rob_Quads Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Here is a copy of the service sheet showing what each service required (P1/P2/P3) As to which one will depend on whats been previously done. If its only done 30K I am guessing it will need a 2002 New 2003 P1 2004 P2 2005 P1 2006 P3 2007 P1 2008 P2 So a P2 but.. that presumes its been serviced up to spec if not best to go with the more expensive P3 http://www.convery.me.uk/temp/serv2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Best place to take your Z is TDI North based in Warrington. They can do servicing but not MOTs. They can be busy so you will need to book in advance. Not expensive either. http://www.tdi-north.com/ by the way, where abouts in South Manchester are you. I always wave to Zed owners. :bye: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedwagon Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks very much for these - very helpful. I don't have any service history with the car - it was a fresh import, it seems as though it has been looked after in japan though I'm thinking I might be best with a P3 plus cambelt to be on the safe side - but sounds expenisve! any ideas as to cost? M13KYF - I'm in Sale - I think I may have seen you just before I got the zed and when i was in the "Works" on the A56 near the city centre, destroying the poor Works!

M13KYF Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 no cambelt on a Z Yeah I drive down the A56 to work in the city centre, I'll give you a wave next time I see you. What colour is ya Z by the way. For a P3 your looking around the £300 mark at a dealers, TDI will be cheaper as their labour rates are half of Nissan's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zummertor Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Welcome, welcome, welcome ! Agree with comments made so far and good advice re. TDI, good reputation. Re. waving, encourage it, I sometimes flash and wave, not all respond though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbs Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 p.s. I have come from a MINI cooper s works and other MINIS used to wave occasionally - i've seen a few zeds round and about but no-one seems to wave - is it not the done thing in a zed??!! The problem is the Zed's a bit quicker than a MINI so you're past the other Zed before you have chance to wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedwagon Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 cambelt - oh! forgive me, I am female! i usually go to cross st garage in sale and he is very good one final thing - if the garage orders parts i.e. filters, as if it was a uk car, will they fit? mine is GM and quite obviously an import - it still has the fairlady badge and one or two japanese stickers - it also speaks to you in japanese when it starts! - we think it say something like - please insert your toll card - as it still has the toll card reader for the toyko autobahns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zummertor Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Most basic parts will fit. We all ask strange things, me possibly more than most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAFC99 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Go to a main dealer (better resale) if sunderland is anything to go off a P3 costs £220 (vic young) or £250 (evans halshaw) which isnt to bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFC99 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 oops didnt realise it was an import, still best off with a main dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 First, Welcome Second, Where are the pics Third, TDI or a dealer for your first service, just to be on the safe side! Then go with others once you know the work has been done properly! Forth, always wave but there are some miserable Zed drivers on the road, but then not everyone is always spotting all the time!

Lincolnbaggie Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I wouldn't bother with a P3, as it is no different to a P2 but costs £100 more! P2 does everything a P3 does (only difference between the two in the service book on pages 18/19 is replacing the LSD gear oil instead of inspecting it which doesn't need doing as ours is the viscous coupling type). Save your money and get a P2! Just my two pennies worth................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
