What did you do to your zed today?
Just here but on the inside edge:

What did you do to your zed today?
At the back where the little return lip is for the bumper mount. The arches are rolled up to that point but this is contacting the tyre on compression. It's not even the tyre wall, it's the top corner area of the tread about 7mm in.

What did you do to your zed today?
I took a gamble to fit some wider tyres on the rear, but they rub [emoji36] And whilst I was there I had it back on the hunter for a fine tweak! If anyone is local to me, the guys at tyre-smart in Witham are excellent. My new "go-to" place for anything wheel, tyre and tracking related.

Oooooh, where has this old girl been hiding? Looks like a nicer colour version of the original... [emoji848][emoji57]

I have no words [emoji15] Has to be my favourite car in the club, for me this is the most desirable Z32 in the UK (at least), great work as always Pete. And yes, stock wheel with a BLACK and silver Z badge, none of that pink business that those guys have!

Hmmm, tough decision. In that particular style, I would be drawn to the 19 inch version. What are the current widths, offsets and tyre sizes of your TSWs (including spacers)?

Yes thank you Stephen for organising this again and thanks to Howard for taking the batton [emoji106] I didn't take many pics as I didn't have my camera! Here's some random snaps: Evansss'ss' car was looking mighty fine also, nice execution of the subtle mods on that one:

This was my personal favourite car of the show: My only criticism of the day was that our location didn't seem as good as the previous years.

Thanks buddy, apologies we didn't get to meet properly.

Another great day, always like this event. Thank you to everyone that voted for me in the club competitions and the People's Choice Award, absolutely delighted that the car is appreciated. Also a big thanks to the kind people that were in the right place at the right time in a gusty moment! There's nothing to see under the blue cloth, nothing to see...

What are you all waiting for, I left for this show ages ago! There aren't many other cars like this that will fit a mahoosive tent with all the luxuries (like a fridge and decent cooking facilities), 2 kids, a dog and a wife are there?

What did you do to your zed today?
Yesterday I went on a road trip to Jimmer's for a smoke/boost leak test, replacement hicas ball joints and a 1 piece prop. The jury is still out on the 1 piece as I suspect some prop generated resonance at high rpm has been induced into the cabin but I need to confirm. I have a few other niggles to take care of as the car isn't running quite right at the moment but no time to investigate before Beaulieu. Today I took the car for an alignment on the hunter to setup the replacement hicas tracking:

MOT advisories - future preparation..
My passenger side had slight play in the hicas ball joint and Jimmer replaced the inner and outer joints for me the other day. The system shouldn't have play so best to get it fixed up.

ECUTalk gauge analysis help
I would lower the TPS voltage slightly down to 0.44v and some investigation is required into the AAC % as I think 52% when warm on idle is too high.

What did you do to your zed today?
Some fresh blood today to accompany my recent power upgrades. A road trip to Jimmer's is on the cards tomorrow for a smoke test, hopefully a clean bill of health and a couple of other bits and bobs. I also found the last piece of the puzzle to retrofit my cruise control. The harness that goes from the actuator in the engine bay to a plug in the cabin was on a spare loom I have in my Z cave. It was part of a main body harness so I carefully unloomed it to make a separate retrofit harness. The 3 blue wires will be de-pinned and installed into my plug but I've left them all in for reference.

wheel size
Not sure what Simon is on there but 10.5 ET5 would leave plenty of clearance inside the arch, so no fouling there. The problem you will have is that they'll stick well over an inch outside the arch! An arch roll wouldn't suffice, it would need arch extensions or a wide arch kit to fit (unless you're the kind of guy that likes extreme camber!).

Coming Back to the fold!
Welcome back matey, all is forgiven and I'm sure you'll soon forget about that glitch with a beaut of a Z like that. Congrats [emoji106]
