  1. cheers paul . thats the fella im after. and thanks for the info on the brake upgrade . i was looking at mine again today and parked next to a fiesta you could hardly see any difference in rotor and caliper size . i know the original wheels were 16 inch but for a car running 280bhp as standard i cant help but feel that nissan fell way way short of fitting the zed with the brakes that it needs to haul in them horses

  2. How fast?? ... fast enough mate... lets be honest, when are you ever going to max it out?

     

    i agree mate . as i said my bottle went way before i was anywhere near those speeds . its just a curiosity thing knowing how fast the old girl would go . i,d never max her out even if i had a 3 mile stretch of private road . any ideas on the 0-60 times as we all do these .

    i remember a while back a for sale thread on here for a timer that sat in the car recording 0-60 , bhp and various other readings . not sure what to search for on ebay but would be nice to have one

  3. a job im planning on doing over the winter is a brake upgrade . ive searched through old posts and forum comments regarding calipers and discs etc etc . up to now im edging towards evo 8 calipers with 350z discs along with the neccesary relocation brackets but are there any alternatives from other doner vehicles . i read somewhere that jimmytt used porsche calipers . i cannot justify the outlay for a specific taylored set up like the d2 big brake set up so what are you guys using . caliper , disc combinations . any help on this would be much appreciated ie which caliper matches up with which discs and the work involved in making them fit .

    i have looked at some bigger discs which use the original nissan calipers with relocation brackets but these look a total waste of time to me as there is no increase in the friction area .

     

    thanks in advance

  4. right ive just had a zedworld chip fitted and a blitz sus induction kit fitted . the car has a free flowing exhaust although im not sure what make . the cars running at 13.5 psi with boost jets . im just wondering what sort of figures the car will return . i gave it a bit of a blast the other night but lost my bottle . i wont say how fast i was going but needless to say my liscence would how been taken away .anybody running a similar set up with figures

    Engine condition check

    Fault code check

    Timing check

    Boost leak check

    TPS check

    Throttle balance check

    Service level oil, fuel, air

     

    without having all of the above checked and if needed adjusting are you going to have the confidence to use the extra horses . i personally wanted the full health check on the engine first

  6. when i first bought the car a couple of years back i thought it was bloody quick but it turned out to be running in safety boost , got the necessary repairs done and the car was fantastic in comparison as you can imagine . now with this new chip fitted its taken it to a whole new level . i cant recommend the upgrade highly enough . there are plenty of cheap nasty chips available on fleabay for a few quid but with the zedworld chip you get all the necessary checks and tests to make sure everything is working as it should to get the best out of it and make sure its not going to kill your engine .

  7. after 2 years of ownership i finally got round to getting a Zedworld chip upgrade done today .

    Truly Awesome is the only way i can describe it . on start up she sounded smoother and a bit quieter . ran her around for a few minutes to get her warm and then gave her the beans on a straight bit of road . the difference was amazing . she absolutely flew , i nearly shit myself and the mrs squeeled like the time i came home from work early and caught her sitting on the washing machine .

    every zed owner should have one of these fitted . i thought she was quick before but i reckon she must be at least a second quicker to 60 now .

    go on boys treat yourselves .

     

    thanks jeff for the thrills

  8. if you are running with hubcentric spacers the spacesaver will not fit . i learnt this today while refurbing my wheels . done the rears fine but when i tried to swap the fronts over i found out they wouldnt sit on the hubs due to the spacer bolts . ive never gave it a thought before but tomorrow im out for a can of emergency tyre repair to carry in case of front puncture until i can get some shims made up that fit over the spacer bolts .
