Shezza's zed time story

Recommended Posts

Well I’ve done another thing ! 
little trip down to Horsham developments yesterday to get the zed it’s long over due up-rev. I must say I was very impressed with the figures before the up-rev, being 285.9HP before remap ! That’s with the berk high flow cats, invidia Gemini exhaust, plenum spacer and a nismo induction kit fitted so very happy with that ! Then 297.1HP after and the throttle response is now 👌

Not bad for a 2005 DE

I enjoyed this read. I lost an hour of my life but feel inspired to tackle some of the things that need sorting on my 350z. I was going to sell it but now I'm going to keep it and enjoy it for a few more years. Thanks for writing up your exploits with your Z. It all looks fabulous. By the way, how is the black paint on the plenum holding up? I've scrubbed the aluminium oxide off mine but it looks dull and dirty.

Hey glad you enjoyed it and it’s inspired you to hang on to the zed a little longer !

The black paint is holding up very well and looks as fresh as the day I did it. 
I used heat resistant primmer, black gloss enamel paint topped off with lacquer. It came as a kit of eBay I think.
