Afternoon all, I have been contimplating today after much deliberating why zed's. Even though highly modified still have relatively poor 0-60 times on average? Does anyone know, or heard of 0-60 times under 5 seconds at all? And what were the mods done to achieve thes figures? Regards Kash

it was in a very poor state and didnt have any sills really!! on the m6 on a trailer 2 weeks ago

Can anyone reccomend door speakers that will deliver a good clean sound, i.e not to much bass, but plenty of treble, also will 6.5 speakers fit without modification? Cheerz Chris

Hi, Went out in the zed this morn and turned the fans to demist the front screen and heard a click click noise. Now when i try putting the blowers on the feet or face, nothing happens.. Basically its stuck on the screen Either something snapped or whatever mechanism operates the blower direction has failed. Is there an easy way to get to it? Like take the centre panel off? Cheers

Ok. I just wanted to share this with you before I'll do it! I will have my zed resprayed. Same colour. The spoiler will be changed with Japslapper's carbon fibre wing. The bonnet will be carbon fibre. Vented. Not sure but I think driftworks.. The wheels...Shall I keep them as they are or to get them refurbished with the center bit to look like carbon fibre effect? That's it for now... Thanks for reading and any sugestion welcome!

saw this on the a13 today h***yy* blue(looked like rigs car) driver looked like kenny rogers :thumbup1:

Had a bit of a clunk for a few months on my z31 and I reckoned it was a knackered strut, it wasn't getting much use until the past few weeks so I just put in to the garage today to get checked out. Turns out the strut is fine, the clunk was actually due to my rear nearside spring going THROUGH my rear wishbone arm!! Its currently millimeters away from striking the driveshaft...to think I was doing ***mph in it last weekend on a coastal road trip and was due to go a 200 mile road trip to a classic car show this Sunday :ohmy: Phoned Nissan for a laugh to price up a new arm and they wanted £700+ and a months wait to get it on back order :laugh: so I phoned a few br…

wot sort of noise should it make, theres a part inside moving up and down when i shake it, but the guide ive been following says it should rattle if its good

Im starting to get excited, my zed is all mapped and running 100% fine. They have done the initial set up sorted a few minor issues out and she is puring like a baby now!. :closedeyes: Going on the rolling road tommorow then they will make sure everything else is ok and modify the exhaust and do a few other bits I asked them to. Fingers crossed she might be on the road by next week some time. :ohmy: After all this time doing it and now im getting so close to drive her. How exciting!!! show time...

Does anyone have a pic of red brembo calipers with the brembo lettering in black? I'm about to get some painted up and though white is the usual colour for the lettering I'm hoping to keep with a black/red theme throughout but not sure if it will look as good/standout clearly.... Also figured the white lettering would probably look brown before too long without regular polishing up... Thanks guys!

Started the car this morning to go to work and it fired up fine but started making a horrendous noise - best way I can describe it is it sounded like a loud vacuum cleaner. I turned it off straight away and took the keys out, but the noise continued for about another 3 minutes before it eventually got gradually quieter and then stopped altogether. Opened the bonnet while it was making the noise but couldn't tell where it was coming from. It did sound like something gradually spinning down while it was stopping. Is this likely to be a turbo failure? Eeeeeek If so, how much does it cost to get a reconditioned one? Am really hoping this isn't going to be the end of my Z…

Hi, Since my son was born 2 months ago, and despite the great weather, we simply haven't been able to go out in the Z as his seat simply won't fit in the back. There are 2 issues: 1. The seat is so long (one of those travel system seats) that the front seat has to be pushed fully forward and even then it's a squeeze. 2. The seat belts are tiny, so no way to secure the seat. Has anyone managed to get a baby seat in the back safely? Which seat did you use? Looks like a lovely weekend again and I must find a way of getting him in there! Thanks.

Thats it the cars gone, cant believe i cant drive it around now, To the bodyshop that is!!!

Hi all, New ZX owner here and I just have a few questions... The cluster on the left hand side that switches off the wipers, clock, mirrors etc just turns off. I can't find the fault as the fuse is fine. Any ideas? I'm also looking for some good weather strips for the doors.. the ones that sit on the glass. I'm looking for two back boxes... preferably the big bore ones as it's got a performance exhaust on. Ta, Rob.

Don't shoot me down in flames here please... :angel: Does anyone know if an R32 GTR rear spoiler has been fitted to a Z before, and do you think it would look ok? Or even better a picture. I'm aware that the R32 is a very square design in comparison to the Z, but I think it could wear it well maybe? :donatello:
