What did you do to your zed today?
Forgot to say, the inner edge of the exhaust tips is beveled or angled, you can see it in the clean photo of mine AndrewG posted. It does however get filthy quickly so just looks like a black hole in photos generally.

What did you do to your zed today?
Good spot! Mine is secured in each corner but is done much cleaner, see below. I wouldn't be surprised though if there was improvements or updates during its production life, there certainly was with the veilside systems (I've seen a couple variations) & they both look to have been made by the same supplier, the H pipes are identical bar a couple of small braces. I can't remember if the Abflug had it but the Veilside had a laser etched model number on the H pipe. My Abflug also has a small plaque under the drivers side muffler with the brand & type of exhaust, model no. & batch no. The colour is the standard AH3 Cherry Red Pearl, just well polished! Thanks for the kind words all. cheers!

Nah mines the same, just a single spot weld in each corner

What did you do to your zed today?
That one looks correct, details are all the same as mine & has the engraved plaques on the outer tips. That's very expensive though, hence why it's been for sale for over 6 months! Keep your eyes open , they do come up cheaper. There's a full turbo back veilside system on there at the moment (front pipes are pretty rare, I've got those too) for a very good starting bid.

What did you do to your zed today?
Thanks very much guys, I'm very pleased with the result. Exhaust is an Abflug Power Superior, had a veilside evolution previously but just love the quad tips!

D2 Coilovers
D2 are just your standard budget coilovers out of Taiwan like K-sport, etc. Certainly here in Australia UAS stopped selling them years back due to quality issues, they're possibly better now but still a risk.

Rare parts thread
There's plenty of imported Japanese TT's here but definitely only the 2+2 NA's sold locally. Perhaps canada did a 260km/h TT option then

Rare parts thread
Australian spec zeds (all NA 2+2 targa's) came with 260km/h speedo's or "clocks" So if your's don't have a boost gauge & look oem then they'll be from down here

Gearstick progress
Good work there but these are fairly easy to find, would it not be worth just buying a genuine one? I searched "impul" on yahoo auctions & these 3 were in the first 2 pages. http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v475770963 http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b231828856 http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j408952623 Great zed to have though, congrats

5 grand seats in a zed!!!!!
There's a vendor on the Aussie & US forums, kmahmood of interior innovations, who does handbrake handles & boots, gearknobs & boots, plus pretty much every other interior part in leather or syn leather. Pretty much any colour leather with whatever stitching you want. I've got handbrake handle, gearknob & both boots in black with red stitch. Quality is great & pretty cheap prices, check the old group buy thread on aus300zx for photos & prices. Cheers, Tim.

another photo member 1BADG35 on 300zxclub.com, as you can see above he's since painted the harness guides to match his interior. They're genuine porsche carrera gt / gt2 carbon buckets, he bought them off a friend who was selling his gt. Here's his build thread clicky cheers, Tim

Re rear diffuser
If you want other rear diffuser options look at the winfactory / driven authority bolt on one or simtec make a more 'race spec' one thats integrated into the rear bumper. Personally I've played the waiting game & have a twinz in need of paint!

I'll show you mine, you show me yours!!
Hi Gary, Aus delivered zeds came with the same rear bumper as the UK versions so yes quite a few around down here. All Aus-spec zeds were 2+2 Na Targa's, mines a 5spd. cheers, Tim
