Hi everyone

 

my three older brothers have owned and driven Zeds from the 240 upwards for a very long time, i wanted to be the black sheep of the family and stick to normal cars, much to their disapproval.

So... i was given a 91 ZX300, N/A manual ...........and wrap me in wool and douse me in bleach....i'm hooked .......line and sinkered.

It's the best thing my a**e has had the pleasure to sit never mind drive.

I am now complete and find myself tech talking with them now and polishing ...

It's almost like i've found religion.

The possibilities are endless and being a avid modeller it kind of ticks all my boxes.

 

i HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT

 

Thanks:lol

Welcome to the club Kris - and to the world of Zedding!!

 

Get some pics up too buddy.....

 

Richard:cool2:

Hi mate. welcome to the club. get some pictures up!!:D!

welcome mate,

Welcome to the club Kris glad you like your zed:thumbup:

yep well and truly bitten i would say, welcome to the club mate.

We want pictures............

welcome alomg mate :duffer:

Welcome matey :)

nice one mate

welcome home:thumbup:

Are you kris or KR1S the 250 two stroke bike?

Welcome to the Z Cars club :)

Haha, welcome mate:)

welcome to the club!

Boy!

Some of you guys out there either have some d**k lengthening motors ...or got some great pictures to pretend with.

Thanks for all the greetings.

I wanted to put some pictures up but i couldn't, maybe i need to subscribe or be a member for more than a day. I will put some up though, not that mine is anywhere near the level of some of you guys but somewhere out there is a guy that is using a picture of someone else's car and to him I'm saying.......... " HA " ......." Mine's real " .

The first issue I'm about to address is the headlamps. What ? Did Nissan used to make fairy lights back in the day, and had surplus stock ? . I have been told to upgrade the bulbs, What are you guys using 'cause most of you have kept them original. RIGHT.........sensible answers only .........i have kids....and a wife ..........I'd like to keep it that way as long as possible.........( as soon as them kids move out i'm getting a full interior trim job done, already picked out the leather.....just 10-12 more years to go )

What's the point not being able to drive at night? I get more illumination from my smile.

P**s poor, someone should have had their fingers rapped for that.

Was it too much to ask for a shield or harder plastic/leather combination to take care of the lumbar bit of the drivers seat ( RHS ) that wears into a hole on every Z I've seen?

But the ride.............and the looks you get .........well worth it

Has anyone else noticed that men driving Jags and much more expensive cars always step out at the petrol station and do that " Leaning sideways walk " towards you and your Zed? and they wanna have motor talk like " Bet she goes well? " And you're like " Ennit ", Also when you're at the lights and people spend so much time looking at your profile till they don't see the lights change ? ..............And you're like ....." Ennit ".

Or when you an the missus are driving with the Targas out, and you drive pass some " NOT as good as the wife ( wink wink ) but not far enough from her to make you go eeeeyuuk! " ..sort of woman.....and she's staring at you and the car and you look at the wife and go........." Ennit " 'cause you know you gained an extra inch or two Ennit?.

( EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T NEED IT ) just to broaden my friend base with the less confident of our members.......you know who you are.

Right I'm off

Thanks to you guys that replied.

welcome, what colour is your Zed mate? look forward to seeing some pics.

 

with the headlight issue they are poor, a lot of people have upgraded their bulbs with a HID kit, i bought mine for £37.99 from ebay, and they are like second suns, well worth the upgrade haha and also with the 'fish eye' projector it doesnt cause too much of an issue with other drivers until you come over a hill.

 

but im using 6000k at 35 watts, and they are powerful enough trust me :innocent:

 

but depending on wether its an import or not you will require i different bulb i think uk spec is H3 and import is H3c. Easy to fit upgrade and well worth it.

 

enjoy your Zed

on each picture there are 4 URL/links pick the bottom one called IMG and copy that into the thread replies :batman:

Verrry nice Zed fella! What's that thing in the boot? Is it a Sony Xplod bass thing? I am on the lookout for something small but powerful as I have a decent Sony stereo and pants speakers

Hi Janus,

 

Yes it is an sony xplod amp, I would normally go for JBL but this is what i had laying around.

I may not know a lot about car mechanics but i do like ice and will try three or four speaker and amp combinations to get the acoustics of the car correct . I love clean sound without noise.

i have modded the doors to fit better speakers and ran proper cable to them from the head unit , there are plans to install an amp up front for those.

The parcel shelf at the rear is 1 inch mdf with ported boxes on the back, i'll send you some more pics if you want.

Your audio hardware selection should be governed by how many speakers you plan to use, amp power and speaker location, once you know what type of sound you want then work each stage one by one testing at each stage till it's done. Use good grade speaker cable though.

 

HOLLINGS is this what you meant????

Welcome to the forum! Nice Z, It's got to be Infinity speakers if it's clarity your after and throw in some Alpine V12 amps :)
