SHEZZA Posted June 18, 2022 Author Posted June 18, 2022 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 so I think that’s the zed road trip ready just need to save the pennies for fuel now ! Oh other than the annual MOT and service 7 Quote

D350z Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited June 28, 2022 by D350z I didn't want to post a pic on Shezza's thread 2 Quote

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. few pics of last weekends Drive R meet and one just because 😍 6 Quote

SHEZZA Posted 55 minutes ago Author Posted 55 minutes ago (edited) Yeez, has it really been 4 years since I updated this ! Well I’ve still got the old girl ! and have enjoyed plenty of meets, drive outs and a couple of road trips too. which have included a European trip through France, Austria, Switzerland and Germany and last year the NC500, where she never missed a beat ! and other than the usual servicing and MOT’s has been trouble free. Though before I did the NC500 @buster @Tarmac@TarmacSportz replaced the original banana arms which years ago I’d had the bushes replaced for super pro ones, but the ball joints had gone this time and was knocking. Bob recommended the MOOG replacements, so I went with those. Also whilst the zed was up in the air had the gearbox and diff oil changed too and Bob gave the zed a good check over, probably because he didn’t want it breaking down whilst on the trip because I was going with him She also had a new set of Michelin PSS on the rear ready for Scotland’s weather as the old ones was getting a little low and could be a bit dicey at times A new battery was fitted this spring as the old one was no longer holding charge, despite being on a trickle charger over winter. The old one had lasted 8 years so I guess I can’t complain 😂 so went with the same Bosch one I’d had previously Then it was time to do something I’ve wanted to do for years and since events which have happened this year had given me the time I thought it was about time ! So I set to transforming the Zeds hideaway. She’s now sorn and tucked up for winter until next year when the story will continue ! Edited 53 minutes ago by SHEZZA Quote
