Dave2008350z Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Had my Zed for a month. 2009 with 23k on the clock. GT pack. Dealer sorted some scratched door plastics and refurbed an alloy. Got a 2 year warranty too. Best car I've ever had! I've had a seat Ibiza Cupra, Octavia VRS, Mini Cooper S but this blows them all away. I'm already addicted to the noise which is reducing my mpg big time! What a car! I have a knocking noise from the front near side suspension but I'll get that looked at when the MOT is due. Overall...... Seriously happy with my new best toy! Quote
ATTAK Z Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 ... the knocking is more than likely the banana bar 1 Quote
Zhorno Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Or anti roll bar but I'll be surprised at that mileage if it was Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Dave2008350z Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 I can live with the knocking for now. It's not that bad. I'm just grinning from ear to ear every time I have to drive somewhere Thanks for the welcomes. Quote
GMballistic Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) ... the knocking is more than likely the banana bar +1 on both counts. If you need a complete banana arm don't get it from Nissan as it will cost you a small fortune and that's before it's even fitted. Try a PM to a trader on here called zmanalex. If you just need the bushes then you could try Horsham Developments for them; http://www.h-dev.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=25342 Best fitted in pairs or you could try up-rated items which is what I have; http://www.h-dev.co....oducts_id=25451 Hope you enjoy your Zed.

I'm hoping they'll have a look at it under warranty tbh. If not then thanks for pointing me in the right direction Quote
coldel Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Welcome - and as a rule, always ask for parts on here first, any dealership will rob you blind. 2 Quote
GMballistic Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 ^^ No probs Dave2008350z. Plenty of great traders on this forum that will help you sort out problems and parts you need. Always try them first is my advice. 1 Quote

I'm sure you'll have your work cut out avoiding modifying the Zed if your on here. Quote

I'm sure you'll have your work cut out avoiding modifying the Zed if your on here. My first mod might be to add an auxiliary input to the stereo by cutting the tracks on the cassette deck PCB. Seriously, a cassette deck on a 2009 car????? 1 Quote
chirag1988 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 to the forum mate. Nice looking zed you got there too. I was the same, loved hearing the sound of the v6 over music so not even bothered modifying the stereo or speakers. Instead got a cobra resonated exhaust to make the v6 sound even better! Quote
