  1. Ya performance is my main aim, but a bit more noise would really be good..... but not too much! Anybody have any sound clips of a xyz pipe and standard exhaust?
  2. But are they really that good? And will it make the exhaust sound any different?
  3. Hi everyone I am looking at getting a exhaust for my zed....... i spoke to abbey motorsport today as i want to get a remap after the exhaust is fitted. Very helpfull indeed, spoke to mark and told him my plans. I was thinking of just a scorpion system, as i just want to hear the v6 a little more. His thought were to not get a scorpion but a xyz pipe, at around the £400 mark. The trouble is i dont think i can justify spending that amount on that. I know it would be very good quality but i am pretty skint at the moment ! I was wandering if i could get a custom y pipe and desilenced mid section made up and leave the back box on? What would this sound like? and what would be the best bore for the pipes to be?........ What is the standard exhaust bore and does this differ from say a japspeed ypipe or xyz one? Thanks for your help
  4. alessandro- Ya that would be good thanks
  5. Hi where can i get a side "z" badge from? Do nissan do them? Cheers
  6. Ya that sounds good mate! You around this weekend sometime?
  7. Anybody got a pic with the rear badge off, to show how big the holes are?
  8. Ya a little too far , but thanks anyway. As it happens i am in reading tommorrow, but i will be up trees all day long!
  9. Does anyone in hampshire or close to southampton have a scorpion exhaust on there zed i can have a listen too ? Just really want to hear one in the flesh to make sure its not too loud , and what i am after. Thanks
  10. Bit of a mini hi jack. Was wandering what the rev limiter kicks in on my zed? As i have the rev light set at 7700 rpm , but dont know where the limiter is? Its a 313 engine, thanks
  11. Looked really nice , had wheels and a kit on it. We were in a euro golf mk1.
  12. Just found this thread- Looks like a right dick licker
  13. Ya same here mate! The mk1 is really cool but rattles like a ..... rattle snake, but he gets loads of looks in it. He also has a bmw e46 325m sport which he uses in the week. ( Works for esso , and gets paid too much!)
  14. Only pic with anything done is the last one with some sort of soft effect on it. All taken on a digital kodak £200 jobby. Cheers for the comments , they really do picture well
  15. Cheers everyone! All i have done is put some wheel spacers on ( Thanks cs! ) which has made such a difference to the stance, money well spent. Next is exhaust ,tyres, wheels and spoiler ( sprayed)....... my list keeps getting longer
  16. Thought i would show you my new zed and my brother inlaws mk1 20vt, which is faster than mine! Hope you like......... now heres a real car...

    Spacers

    Yep cs is your man, great service
  18. Well i went to another dealership today as i wanted a 2nd opinion. This place said somthing completly different to the first one! They seem to think its the thrust bearing, also i am now getting a whine at 80-90mph from the gearbox! Its all in there hands now as they are going to nissan uk to see if its all covered by warranty, which they seemed confident that it would be.... we will see. Should be getting back to me on friday. Crap new i should have got another s2k

    Scorpion

    Come on .... someone must have a pic!
  20. Looking for a scorpion exhaust in good condition, thanks.
  21. Thanks for your input mate. Looks like its all pretty normal, just annoying as i always like things to be 100% right! I guess i will buy a scorpion exhaust and drown the noise out!
  22. My car is on a 57 plate , should these recalls have been done on my car?
  23. The car is on a 57 plate with 17k on...... i will speak to nissan again and maybe get a oil change just for the peace of mind. Whats the cost involved in getting the box and diff oil changed by nissan? It is not making the noise now as i have been only doing shorter trips in it, but the gear change from 1st to 2nd is quite notchy for the first few miles but once warmed up seems fine....... another zed trait ? edit- just been reading on the site about recalls of 07 plate cars with the slave cylinder , should mine have been done on a december 57 plate?
