Hi guys just to let you all know that i now have my zed

 

she is a late 1992 k reg been in the uk since 2002

 

Unfortunatly she is a N/a but i can wait and rebuild a T/T engine and drop it in

 

172000 kph

 

All the usual toys

 

all for the sum off £950

 

BAD POINTS

 

Heater matrix needs replacing

Needs 1 new tyre

and the Front bumper / Spoiler needs a Respray

And Same with the rear bumper and spoiler

 

But other than that she drive nice i must say ve been a kid in a candy store since i picked her up on friday night

 

Best thing ive ever done is by a zed

Glad you've got one :D Make sure you come to the big meets matey, that's the best bit of ownership :D

Glad you're pleased with it.

 

Converting to TT isn't as simple as dropping an engine in though I'm afraid.

Enjoy mate, we are all canny on here and it's always good crack. :D

cheers guys i will be at the Reading jap meet tonight so i hope to see you all there

 

As for a t/t conversion there aint much more todo to stick a t/t in a N/a Just need to add and change some parts

Just add and change some parts? I never realised it was that simple!

in breif you need to

 

change/ modify the lower mounting for the rad

 

new rad , oil cooler, intercoolers , swap part of the engine loom, space the starter motor a N/a manual gear box has a slighlty smaller casing so the start needs spacing oh a you need to have the ecu chipped and set up other than that there not much else to do, unless you want a real t/t with the hi cas and other toys, but most people change the rear subfram to a N/a for drifiting perpuses plus the N/a has a more active powersteering so there is a tighter turning circle on it ill post a link to the info, if i have got anything wrong then please let me know

looks like you know your stuff mr madmodder. mr craig davids awfully quite now lol.... congrats on your zed buddy.......

Curses silenced by a newby.... although off the top of my head I heard the brakes might be different for one thing (calipers and discs). Not sure on the other details - the only trader who ever quoted me for a TT/NA transplant wanted £2000 labour to do the swap. So I'm guessing it's not simple.

 

Still Madmodders is good for 176000 kph already so I'm sure it'll be fine. ;) :tongue:

 

 

Only joking really mate - good luck with the swop - you sound like you know what you're doing. Topping up the screenwash is about the limit of my ability.

could of got a TT for the price of conversion parts and buying the car, the way the prices are at the moment and would of saved the grief

I've got a heater matrix for sale mate, TT engine (modded) intercoolers etc...

Well it going to be my on going project any how what fun would it be just buying a t/t when you can do a conversion,

 

i read on the brakes and there the same dont know how true this is but as im going to be adding a big brake kit i don't think it really matters

 

just got back from Reading Jap Meet and met a few z owners from the forum and they could not belive the price i paid

 

well i just hope my car gets up there with the rest off the zed owners on this forum would be a real shame to keep the car in the state that its in so rebuild / rebore and modds are all the way forward

 

i hope to meet some more of you guys at the other meets

Welcome, and Congrats. Bit of a bargain price there, well done.

in breif you need to

Keep the NA rear end, its lighter and the Gear ratio offers a nice accleration improvement.

 

Instead of swapping the EFI loom just fit an Electronic boost controller as, only difference is the boost selenoids wiring/connectors.

 

The best way is to get a Complete donor vehicle, rather than souring parts seperatly as there are lots of smaller items like Intercooler ducting, brackets..etc that are easily forgotten about until your half way through the job.

 

Brakes are the same providing NA is newer than 1991. Sway bars are thinner on the NA and spring rates are softer. However they are all parts that are worth upgrading anyway rather than fitting stock TT parts.

yeh but the only problem with the na rear diff is you lose some top end, i dont know how much you lose but i know you do lose.

 

but should be a good little project for me just been doing some pricing up for the parts she needs and hopefully i can get her look half good again in a matter of tme
