Car.Mad

Well what a day I have had and OMG!!!!!! how much I love the zed, I cannot believe I was thinking of selling it. The zed had been pissing me off for some time now. Under any boost it was popping and banging and basically I had no power what so ever, but off boost she was as sweet as a nut, but I was only getting about 9mpg :( This happened ever since the new chip went in and 550injectors. So I was thinking of selling but it looked just so dam good and everything out there looks :xxx: so I was going to pop in the std injectors and be happy again. But then I was like no, I am going to get this fookin thing running right if it kills me. Browsing the net and other forums some guys had had the same faults and it turned out to be the gaps in the sparkplugs were wrong as well as the heat rating. I was like can a simple sparkplug cause so much trouble?? the gap of stock is 1.1mm and with the new plug it should be 0.8mm which is nothing, Anyway I bought some new NGK Iridium IV heat rated 7 for £50 and fitted them this moring. Straight away I noticed it was running smoother. So jumped in and off to town to put some petrol in. So put £45 in and off i went for a little spin. Well the car was driving AMAZING!!! no hesitation what so ever. A little spin turned into a 4 and a bit hours around Snowdonia and a total of about 135ish miles and I have got between 21 and 24mpg wft!!! :shock: As some will know it's tight twisty lanes mostly 3rd/4th gear then some fantastic new nice smooth sweeping roads, also rapidly got rid of the new impreza hatch back, the guy looked over and his face said it all " you cannot possibley overtake me" well i did and i was gone :lol: Only seen about 30 cars over all those miles, so what a day it is and I love my baby again :thumbup: I will pop some pics up of a dirty zed today. So after all that in the end I was going to sell the zed because of a couple of spark plugs :blink: Bit of a long winded boring thread but im chuffed to bits. Only taken about a year and a half!!! End :lol:

Looks sweet mate!!!

There needed because it dosnt fit and needs to be pushed into shape :lol: Its a horrid looking bonnet and will only ruin the look of your car ian. if your worried about cooling take off the rubber trim at the back of your engine bay. or even add bonnet spacers wich still look daft imo :biggrin:

I dont think it is open. it just dosnt fit :lol::lol: Ive seen soooo many cf bonnets like this.

No not got a clue sorry. But imo i think the black ones you have are 100X better.

Gutted ive just scraped 3 of them with half decent kumo estas on. just last week as well :(

only down the road from me :)

i did mine last month and i used tiger seal :) http://300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=155072

i just close my eyelids and that seems to work :)

looks crap just like the real thing :lol:

I bet it will feel quick when you are on it. about 6" off the floor and doing about 50mph with nothing around you.

Front yes, Rear no :tt2:

no not at the min, Need a new mould sorting out.

Its a TT lip guys. but will also fit the na as shown on martys. The vents are the same as the oem ones. so 3 in total the same as the genuine lip ;) Sorry i dont have any more pics.

or you could fit the smooth boot spoiler skin :)

i bet you cannot sleep with all the excitement :lol::lol:

fookin solid mate. I managed to get mine off. But when i tried a 2nd time they dont budge lol!

looks like a relay for aftermarket front fog lights. piaa specialise in bulbs etc.

I dont have a clue but because i had just bought new wheels i was going to get spacers lol!! I think to get a wheel with the correct off set will be expensive as some will have to be custom made etc, Best bet would be to get some nice wheels as close as you can then space them out??

Go on it will only be a fiver :)

I will take the headlight panel if you will post??

I think it has the wrong offset :lol:

Yeah Std in the US i think. Its comfort and sport setting. Dont know why they got it and we didnt because our roads are crap lol!!! It was the same for the mk3 supras as well

Looks like a used tampon :lol::lol:

Good man :wink:
