GT4 Zed

Just to piggy back on this👀 I'm after damaged bi-xenon that are no use to any body. I'm just after the shutter mechanism to compare with LHD cars and possibly replicate this to offer a simple conversion kit for the Depobi-xenon headlights as a cheaper solution than buying OEM bi-xenon from Nissan. I will pay for postage of course😇

Dan, for a Z33 with M6 V10 and E90 GB I wouldabolish any sentimental attachments with the MR2 if I were you 😉 Hell, in fact it would be the first to get the chop to release funds. This would be such an amazing car. More amazing than any of the unrefined but proven swaps like Rb26, 2 jz or LSx. Please do it😎ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Old vid. Well summed up fella. He's only 6mins of the pace of a GTR on a dry track🙀😇

It comes down to budget really. What's your budget?

Do you mean getting the Bilstein dampers only and pairing it with the Tein springs? That would be ok as the tein springs are designed to work with OEM dampers and the bilstein dampwrs are an upgrade on the OEM. I would consider the B8 which is a monotube damper. However if you want to focus on performance/sportiness then the B12, 14 or 16 would be the choice as theses are complete with matching progressive springs with good road compliance.. The B16 would be the most sporty.

Bilstein are up there with the best in terms of suspension tech and they make great products for road cars from their Motorsports know how. If you really want a track day damper then you need to get thier clubsports package. The lesser variants are focused on fast road sportiness and the occasional trackday and they all use the factory soft top mounts and progressive springs to maintain daily driving compliance which is what made me get rid of the KWs which are comparable in terms of quality and performance. Ohlins also are in the same bracket so either of the three will be perfect but I would consider meister R which is UK designed and manufactured and tuned for our roads and then track performance.

Shinnyness 😇😇!

Fingers crossed she passes and you can make that trip to Spa👠I may want to tag along with somebody who knows their way there so I can properly attack that track.

Can't wait for this build to come together😎 good job and tech stuff to keep us entertained. I really admire your DIY attitude but if I had your skill I would have gone with the mid mount setup and substantially reduce the issues with turbo selection, plumbing etc. Subscribed.

Good job to all at team zed shed to make this happenðŸ‘👠@Grundy: mechanical sympathy is the word👀

Bonne anniversaire RTB🎉🎉 Je te souhait aussi un joyeux Noël et prospère nouvelle an😎.

To increase oversteer or reduce understeer Though I'm pretty sure the op wants to do this for looks It would not affect TCS if the tyre rolling radius is within 2.5% of OEM for both axles.

Any reason for wanting the widest wheels? Ideally for performance you should be matching right size wheel to the tyres you plan to use. There's are multiple guides online that recommend the smallest, ideal and widest wheels for each tyres width. As already covered there are many factors to consider to fit the widest wheel tyre combo. FWIW you can get a 345 tyre in the rear and a 295 in front with the right ET and design. You may find this link useful. http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

If you really like the OEM setup why not just buy the same thing again. ie both DMF and OEM organic clutch. it will still be cheaper getting it from the states. Using braided clutch line will make the clutch more direct/responsive as there is no slack in the system. This is what we perceive as improved feel but it will change ever so slightly that OEM character you are looking for though not as much as going with a HD clutch or SMF. The same caution for the nismo roller bearing. It would likely increase noise within the system as I suspect it did on mine. I have a JWT HD +500lbft rated clutch with SMF, CZP braided lines, motul RBF 660, Nismo roller bearing, chromoly pivot ball and while it can handle everything I've thrown at it in the last 2.5yrs including being supercharged, it is evil! The rattle/ chatter is louder than similar setups I've heard (excluding the roller bearing so not sure if this is the cause). It's also very grabby and there's only a smaller engagement window which if you miss stalls the car or results in terrible judder and bounce. I'm used to it so not a problem except in reverse sometimes. Trust me I'm hardcore but I really don't like this about my zed and I've been trying hard to kill this clutch so I can go with a multi disc setup like exedy, OS Gikken or Carbonetics but it doesn't even want to die. I have considered the willwood master cylinder upgrade setup and will do this when swapping engines but purely to make bleeding the clutch easier and secondarily to further improve feel. Doing this together with the Zspeed CSC upgrade should beef up your clutch hydraulic system and improve engagement and feel without adding noise as the OEM CSC is known to fail frequently. https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=4592 https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=8843 But as already said, since you have so many concerns, you should replace everything like for like OEM and you can go with the stage 1 clutch for a bit more longevity. It will stiffen the pedal presure a bit but for me it's a good thing. - OEM or stg 1 organic clutch(exedy, JWT, ACT etc any will work. - OEM DMF - OEM throwout bearing - SS clutch line. (Any branded one is good except eBay knockoffs) - OEM MS or willwood upgrade - OEM CSC or Zspeed upgrade. Just remember that you are asking people's opinion on a very subjective matter so be prepared for a varied response and the only thing you can do is to have a drive in as many setups if possible or minimise the risk by making the smallest amount of changes. Nissan has already done the leg work for a GT cruiser. BTW there is some slight chatter/rattle in the OEM setup :wink: Hard to hear when driving but if you are stood out dude its there.ðŸ‘

Best wishes of the season to all you zeddites and your families 🎉🎈
