Im trying to get a good number to get through to goodridge but keeping getting sent around the houses!

Unfortunatly ive failed in my hunt! Bloody goodridge honestly! The only way i can see around it is to get a female nissan threaded end flared onto some new pipe, and the a male goodridge threaded end onto the pipe. But it wouldnt be a very eligant soultion to the problem! Managed to get the following info on threads from the place i was hoping would make an adapter "As far as we know the thread normally used by Nissan on brake pipes is M10 x 1 on standard 3/16 od pipe although we do not have details for your model to confirm that. Nissan use two types of M10 x 1 male fittings on their models...one threaded to the end and the other with a 2/3mm lead. Both are standard fittings used in the trade for brake pipe for most manufacturers. You will need to go back to Goodridge to check the thread of the fittings on your hoses before we can advise you further and also let us know whether the hose fittings are male or female." So from that im guessing I need a female M10x1 end with 2mm lead? What about the male end for the goodridge pipe?

Is the standard nissan brake line thread 3/16? Im looking at the section out of the car that terminates in a male end where the rubber flexi hose joins to go down to the caliper? (I am trying to get an adapter made to convert this into standard thread to finally get my goodridge hoses on.. If i can get a good solution i should be able to get adapters made for anyone with the same problem for a few £)

Il be heading down as well.

My zed failed the MOT for the rear subframe bushs. Seems to be a common thing as the cars are hitting circa 15 years old.

I did wonder if they added any power, but as the car has one fitted might as well have it connected in the right places

"Just like most ground wire kits, power comes from where you ground the wires. We found that grounding near the alternator and spark plugs works great but placing them near crank triggers tends to make power erratic." Found this info while searching the web and wondered if anyone had tried moving round the grounding kits on the zed? I brought my car with one already fitted so no idea where they should be, just wondering what other guys have grounded?

451/452 great rubber and sensible prices to be honest. Could do alot worse!

Seems a good plan and something the club could manage. Would just have to make sure the big/decent importers know we have sorted it then more 99spec zeds might make it to the uk

Doesnt anti-lag also massively reduce the life of your turbos?

:tongue: :tongue: Funny... sounds like should be a good zed turn out.. il get booking my tickets and trying to borrow a tent from somewhere...

Sounds good, room for one more zed around your place lol?

Rear sill, rear wheel archs, sad but true! Fuel tank straps seen better days as well, but not too bad

Same here as well. Been happening few times recently, maybe one of the admins can chase it with the zed isp?

Sounds a nice job for me when im feeling patient! (Wont be pulling the zed appart anytime soon then lol)

You heading for the whole weekend? Im thinking about doing the lot, tent +beer in light of me missing jae!

Just think id give up working if id had 6 crashes in a year! Just not worth the banter!

Need to do mine at some point soon, in a spanner rating (esq. Haynes...) what do we think? more fiddly than difficult?

How many people heading to Ultimate street car? Looks the best of the bunch IMHO

All sounding good, think il make it to at least one of them, hopefully where there are a few zeds + beer n tents!

Doubt it can do 0-60 in under 2 secs, looks ok but i wouldnt spend the cash they will be asking on it. Interesting to see if they do reqork the bug though

Cool, sounds good, didnt see it listed in the national events section here though.. many zeds going? same deal as in over the weekend, bit of camping and beer?

Just the 30th or are people stopping over the sat night before? Few beers maybe?

Hi guys, just looking through all your pics from JAe and seems i missed a good party (seats aside!). Damn mates wedding saw me driving south on the a1 as everyone else was leaving on sunday on the othersdie of the road! Just wondering where the next big national event would be zed wise? Cheers andy

Thats not bad at all and the finish on your wheels is great!
