One reason eBay Z's don't sell for much...
see what you mean .........and agree a bit more attention to detail would have made a difference as the car itself does not seem that bad condition,
-
Pics of the Z with new paint job and new TheTwinZ bodykit!!
it looks just fantastic ..........like it should have been done in 99 when it was facelifted for the final time

Am I The Youngest Zed Owner?
looking at Verns posts is seems he is a true petrol head and is not a chav boy racer ( i hope ) lets face it they ( chavs ) wouldnt pay 5 grand for a car let alone insurance :) and he has subscribed already , a Chav wouldnt dream of that .........( again i hope ) no .....fair play to him i say

Am I The Youngest Zed Owner?
Hi Mate , fair play , just please please dont stick colour changing LED's on the washer jets :))) if you search one item at a time you may find what you are looking for a bit easier ie leather retrim ...new handbrake gaiter etc etc there is a guycalled Peter who does remarkable retrims in the combination and colour leather of your choice ...comes from scotland , drives to yours picks up your seats , brings them back about a week later fully retrimmed ...i think the email is nipponauto@blueyonder.co.uk i know he deals in ebay sound bloke cant recomend him highly enough , he drives a zed himself so that makes him a better person

yes or no
depends on how fast you normaly drive it , i agree with Simon that the LWB does need something on there to finish and punctuate the swooping lines of the back end , however the SWB looks far better butt naked you dont really need it unless your going stupidly "please ban me officer" fast ...so its all a matter of personal tatse , end of the day its your zed , have it how you like it i would change the rear lights though to 99 spec , i am in the process of doing mine while teh car is away having an upgrade , but i am converting mine to LED nice car by the way

Recomended mechanics/tuners?
if its just a clutch slipping , i would be tempted for the few extra bucks to uprate to a RPS max or if your planning serious upgrades in power a Carbon carbon clutch , Smithy / DTA on here can supply them , then go to a decent garage in your area to have the clutch changed, Clutches on the Z32 are very near the limit as stock with the power these cars produce and can produce, if tweaked slightly the standard clutch even if in very good condition will slip, so an uprated clutch is deffo a recomendation if your changing it anyway ,you only really need a specialist like Zworld or Zextreme when it comes to servicing and fault finding , enjoy the Zed and welcome to the club

Zero compression number 6 :(
only way Jimmy is do a full test on all 6 that way you know its only the one bank or its the equipment your testing with or it might highlight other cylinders that are low who knows ..............anyway you will definately need to know for Scott when you call him as for sure he will ask about it good luck

Zed at garage
it does sound familiar :) intercoolers and better venting of the engine bay would greatly help as well ....i know and i think Funky Si has seen in teh states that the rubber lip seal on the windscreen scuttle panel that the bonnet shuts too is sometimes removed and it aids air flow and heat loss and is a no cost Mod

Today is crunch day
hang in their Chris ...its along haul getting these cars right, but the way they still turn heads and go and sound and make you feel when you rip the doors off the pikey in the Cayman S at the private traffic lights officer is just too good to give up

Finally replaced the Zed
stunning car .........the only thing i would ever replace my zed with i think

what's the highest a modified Zed can rev to?
Cheers Steve , you have PM mate
-
what's the highest a modified Zed can rev to?
i think but may be corrected that one of the main limiting factor to revs is the VVT system ,is not man enough for uba high revs, so its you that is keeping my Zed from being done is it Steve :) ....havnt discussed Bearings with Andy yet , do you think you could get me some white power bearings ? if i give you the money first of course :) and when Andy knows what size etc etc Steve
-
What Bhp
What rate spark plugs are you running Dan ?, have you made provision for removing the cast flashing in the water ways in the block ? a bit of nitrous to assist the getaway wouldnt go amiss :) it would also help to cool the charge ! also running that kind of power the heat build up under the bonnet will be substaitially higher than standard especially at higher boost figures ..i would give consideration toa vented bonnet or custom vent your own to dissopate some of the heat also for the price it would be worth while changing the wiring loom in my opinion good luck mate Steve

Perfect Zed
the brakes appear standard !!! .............obvioulsy built for a suicidal decendant of a WW2 kamikazi pilot...hating the interior .....Volks are very very nice though
-
coooool runnings
check the direction of air flow of the fan the fan in our cars suck air through the rad front to back not blow. if the fan has been put on back to front it will be blowing not sucking , also did you keep the fan shroud as that really helps to keep the cars temp cool

Important Petrol Tips! ~A must read!~
a change in about 8 degrees C of fuel temp realises a 1% change in volumetric amount that you buy so given the the ground temp at minus 10feet is roughly constant at 13 degrees c and the air temp is 22 there is aleady a 9 degree change , plus the extra temp change due to flowing petrol and pressure loss. so if petrol is cautiously pumped the fuel saved could be theoreticaly as high as 1 litre in every 100 ... steve

Its A Boy

My exterior
i like it but as others have said it needs the ride hide seriously dropping and some carbon tricky bits to augment the graphics to complete the street racer look . well done for being different steve

Help!!!!! Need a garage to fit turbo's
andy duff is near you , great lad but very busy and you may be pushed to get it in at short notice tubs is not a dificult job its the fact that engine needs to come out , so along with that you have the usual disconnections of cables etc etc and the problems that can bring !! but while its out ther is lots of time and trouble saving jobs you can do as well , do a search on engine removal or jobs to do while engine out ... good luck mate
