Hey, been looking into a 300zx for a while now and going to have a look at this one tommorrow : http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2082127.htm

I was looking for any advice on what I should be looking for or asking about when I go to see it? Not sure if it's anyone on the forums car.

 

So hopefully I will be joining the fold at some point :clap:

Hello and welcome to the forum. For a good guide on getting a zed check this thread out for a buying guide.

Welcome to the forum mate, keep us posted :D

Hi,

 

Thats archies zed, he lives just round the corner from me !

 

Can tell you about it but rather do it off the forums ?

 

Where abouts are you based ?

Well I bought Archie's Zed on saturday and I'm loving it so far :) Only thing is I may have reset the Greddy boost controller back to the stock settings -.- So if anyone has any experienece with them would be much appreciated!

 

Didn't know there were so many as close, I'm from New Cumnock dude be good to get a meet up and talk Zed's im sure you can teach me a thing or 2 :D

Well done, it's a smashing zed !

 

I didn't actually know his zed was up for sale as he never mentioned it to me!

 

Think were gonna arrange an Ayrshire meet as there's another guy in Kilwinning

Just bought a zed too!

 

If your up for it and my zeds out of the garage you up for a meet this weekend !!

wish i could this weekend but i need to go to aviemore and get the rest of my stuff from the house..split wif the missus recently.

maybe next weekend for me

Definitely, only thing its my birthday on sat so will be going out for it haha! Oh and if your wondering who the weirdo with the veilside email address adding you to msn is, its me :)

 

Gutted I messed around with the boost controller before reading the manual! Hopefully get it sorted tommorrow.

Sorry to hear about the missus but a zed is a no bad trade !

is the zed a nice birthday pressy for yourself

definetly not a bad trade at all

least she wont moan at stupid stuff....i hope

Best birthday present ever I think Zhood! Bad times about the missus tho :/

 

Only been out in it for like 2 hours max so far and some guy came up in a 430bhp Evo like "Want a race" but I kindly declined till I'm off stock boost.

 

Question for anyone here... If the Greddy E-01 has been reset to factory settings and I've currently set it to off... Will the car just be running stock boost from the ECU?

Reason I'm asking this is im worried it will overboost for the amount of fuel being put through and pre-detonate :/

a zeds a good trade for a women . they get your heart going a lot faster and much cheaper to run.

cheers

ur lucky av only drove mine for 15mins then it was on a trailer for 4hours back from aviemore 15mins of fun though between a accord type-r and an r-33 gts surprizing how far u can get before the skylines turbo lag goes away(av got a non turbo)

hopefully we can all meet up soon though

gd luck with the boost controller

Do You have an aftermarket boost gauge? With the EBC turned of it should run 0.5bar or 7psi or there abouts. Which is less than standard boost which is 9.6psi IIRC :)

Depending on the specs of the car but if its standard (I assume it has a chipped ecu) turbos with standard injectors you shouldnt really run any more than a max of 1 bar or 14 psi.

just think though two turbos ill even it up sumwot

Well my first zed was a na then I opted to get a tt after!

Yea it has an aftermarket gauge reading in BAR I'll need to check what it's boosting too tomorrow. When it's ticking over it hovers at -0.5 if thats any help?

 

Not 100% on it having a chipped ECU. I was thinking of using the AUTO learn setting and set the boost to 14/15 PSI, is this advisible? The main thing im not sure on is, if and/or how I alter the fuelling if I start altering the boost :no:

You cant alter the fueling without a chipped ecu, i.e its a different fuel map on the ecu.

 

The minus figures are the vacuum that the engine is generating. -0.5bar sounds about right. It will get to 0 very easily and quickly! Anything above 0 is boost i.e greater than atmospheric pressure in the inlet manifold. Im not familiar with the E-01 as I only have a poor mans Spec b 2.

Any pics bud the pistonheads add has gone and welcome to the club

Will be giving her a clean tommorrow so will hopefully get some pics on the go as it has totally different wheels on it now :)

 

Been googling my ass off all night trying to find some info on this controller on a 300zx but to no avail :S

 

According to the user manual you can set everything manually or use the AUTO programming mode. Quick rundown on what it says about the AUTO mode is basically you set a desired boost limit i.e 14PSI then take it a full throttle pull in 3rd or 4th gear. The controller then sets the base stock boost.

Next step is another full throttle 3rd/4th gear run and the controller gradually builds up to the 14 PSI and sets everything else accordingly, well according to my understanding of it.

Heres a link to the user manual : http://www.xspeed.com.au/manuals.php

It's the Greddy E-01.

a zeds a good trade for a women . they get your heart going a lot faster and much cheaper to run.

 

What are you driving an NA :lol::lol:
