Don't think I could eBay the car, amount of idiots I get when trying to sell something simple on eBay will no doubt lead to drone of morons contacting me. Will check it out for price guide though!

Looking on AT and PH it seems 2004-2005 with under 50,000 miles are going for anywhere between £7-9000 realistically. I do wonder how long some of those have been up for sale though as £9000 for what looks like an OEM zed seems a bit far fetched!

Forgot to add that it has full service history at Nissan garages or specialists and the most recent service was P3 in December where I even had all the spark plugs changed so it really won't need anything for a good couple of years, except for the minor P1 service in December! Think I might try advertising as is for £8500 and if there's no interest in 8-12 weeks ill start stripping it back to OEM. I didn't think it would take long for people's interest in the wheels to be known What's a set of Rays worth with decent tread on tyres? Think one of the wheels has slight bubbling but no kerbing, £500?

Original vs Current

Yes! It's been remapped and on the rollers twice. Currently running 302bhp which was after the HFCs were added. Both times at RS Tuning in Leeds and I have print outs. Is it worth advertising as is or removing the spoiler/bumper first? Not sure if advertising as is then re-advertising without the spoiler and rear bumper might out people off.

After 2 glorious years of being a zed owner I might be forced to sell the car as I'm looking at buying a house. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to let me know what my car is worth if sold private, roughly. The car is modified and I think I'd be selling the LMGT4's separately as well as removing the rear spoiler and rear bumper but wondered what it would be worth as is and slightly more standard. I would be leaving the Nismo V2 front bumper replica on as the original one is peppered with stone chips.

I'm in no massive rush to sell and expect morons offering their Corsa if it goes on AutoTrader.

Cheers Dblock, ECP it is this week! If I manage to get the car started this morning would that mean the battery is alright or do I still need to get a new one if RAC battery tester said is knackered? Where's the 25% discount as well? There's 20% off on their site using WEBSAVER20

Will look into Odyssey batteries, any others? Bosch any good?

Didn't think leaving the car for 2 weeks would kill the battery but looks like it has! RAC offered me one for £105 but I assumed I could get one cheaper elsewhere. Any recommendations? Is it just a 005 I need or something more specific? Thanks!

Ignore the red thing, was just so I could make sure I could get it back out! MDF + felt fabric + jigsaw Has worked great but now I need to make a new one as my new phone (iPhone 5) doesn't fit

If you're within driving distance of Westway Stockport I'd take it to Lockwood & Greenwood instead. Been there twice, definitely recommend them over a Nissan dealer. And you still get a stamp that says Nissan as I think they're Nissan approved something or other.

If you were up North, around Manchester, I'd be interested. Just move house

I asked for a price on a few parts a while ago, well before Christmas, got a price back, said yes that's fine then never heard anything back from him

Went with 245 & 275 in the end. Tyre fitters have managed to scuff one of my wheels, they've offered to pay for the refurb but still a pain in the ass. Need to find out whether the refurb should be painted of powder-coated, they're satin black LMGT4's.

This happened to me a lot last winter, had to stand outside for ages pouring water over the door. I never worked out if it was the window being stuck causing it or the internal lock as when I pressed the fob nothing moved! I've solved it this year by deciding to work from home for the next 4 weeks

Tyre just arrived, thanks a lot! Saved me £40

Tyre paid for via Paypal

I'll take the tyre! Will PM now.

Currently running 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 and one of my front's is bald on the inside. Wondering is there any real world difference for daily driving between 245 and 235 as 235 is 20% less cost wise. Not trying to cheap out on it, just wondering if there's an actual difference for the extra cost. It's on an 8.5J LMGT4.

If you've got an iPhone/Android phone try this - http://www.cameralert.com You just need a PocketGPSWorld subscription which is £20 a year or free if you spot a camera, add it, and it gets approved!

I saw it and thought it was a zed!

Without wanting to start another thread, I've got a front end knocking issue on the drivers side and it's not when I go on gravely road or over multiple bumps, but when I brake and release. When I'm coming to a stop, whilst I brake, nothing, when I've stopped and let off the brake I get a single clunking noise. Any idea what it is? It does occur going slowly on to my drive but I've noticed it nearly every time I've used the brakes today, even if I've not come to a standstill.

And you thought my post was dodgy?

These are up in the toilets at Anfield, always nice looking at a guys crotch when you're tying to pee!
