14N Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Bizz, I think that's a definite blank canvas right there! 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 @ Octet ~ Wow, first time I've seen your Zed. Very nice engine bay. Quote
HaydnH Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Think I've got a way to go yet but getting some serious inspiration. Great work guys Looks like you should give the bay a clean while it's like that. Quote
bizz Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Looks like you should give the bay a clean while it's like that. Haha don't you worry about that man, plenty of time to brighten it still Quote
14N Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I reckon you should leave it like that Bizz. Just mount a large pair of round headlights and a radiator to the front. 1950's Hot Rod stylee 1 Quote
Cal Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Nothing special here... Just a mega clean. The previous owner probably never cleaned the bay - it was minging! Definitely getting some red conduit, red hoses, anodised red oil cap, rad cap, paint fluid caps anodised red, and of course a polished plenum or strut with anodised red feet from Wasso!

GMballistic Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 ^^ I love supercharged Zeds soooo much!. That's how they should have left Nissan as standard. Very nice. 1 Quote

Ceejay29 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Inspiring stuff guys! I need to start mine! Exciting times Quote
chirag1988 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Ian where can I get similar orange hoses and pipes from? I'm slowly going to be progressing with the black and orange theme (orange being the best colour ) Do they just go over the existing pipe as a cover or are they a replacement? 1 Quote
14N Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 It's a split conduit, so it slips over the existing stuff. Available from a place called 'Boost Junkies' - they also have an eBay store. Quote
Ceejay29 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Does anybody have a decent build thread on detailing the engine bay? .....I imagine 'How to Smurfadise a Zed' would be a good start. Edited March 6, 2014 by Ceejay29 Quote

Mopedmark Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Why thank you Mr Keyser but it's all going soon I have something else in the pipeline for it 1 Quote
Ceejay29 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I really don't know where to start, a lot of time and money to invest. Curious as to how others began and which parts/areas to consider first. One thing I do know is that I will not be stripping to the extremes of Keyser!! Quote
Keyser Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Why thank you Mr Keyser but it's all going soon I have something else in the pipeline for it Shame - Can Mrs Keyser have dibs on all the purple bits you want to sell then? - she likes purple Looking forwards to seeing what comes next @ Ceejay29 Start with something simple and work your way through it a bit a time - paint the battery and fluid covers or maybe the plenum. You can get a spare plenum clean and polish or paint then 1 for 1 swap so no down time - a nice hose kit some colour matched sheathing for the cables. You don't have to go to extremes - I was doing a full car rebuild so may as well paint it while it was out Edited March 6, 2014 by Keyser Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Not as pretty as most on here but I prefer to drive it Quote
