  1. Me having an absolute breakdown in heavy traffic last week... i'm not normally this grumpy looking!
  2. I'm in possession of these particular decat pipes. I bought a zed a few weeks ago and these were thrown in as part of the deal. I also have the S/S exhaust manifolds listed by the same seller. I will consider selling if there's interest.
  3. Keeping an eye out in the for sale section but just thought I'd place a wanted ad here too. Looking for a full set of Rays With or without tyres Will accept a set that needs a refurb but asking price must reflect this! I'm in Dublin Ireland but I have a guy in the courier business who can collect if not too far off the beaten track. Not needed urgently so even if you are thinking of selling down the line do get in touch
  4. delz0r I spotted your car in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre a couple a weeks back- near Halfords! She was looking great!
  5. Good driving yankeesiter... You saw it was going to happen a mile off.
  6. Mine has a slight burning smell when giving it a hoot. After a bit of slow town driving, then hitting the dual carriageway at full blast you get the smell. It's not a continuous smell after every hard acceleration. Normally just the first one after tame driving.
  7. Cheers CS, well actually Alex supplied the arm to me so maybe I just should have asked him hopefully he will be on or someone who has tried it might be able to give me a few pointers.
  8. I should have specified, I have a replacement arm. So it's a straight swap. It's brand new so the bushes should be 100%. This should be pretty straightforward so? I must be getting confused, I thought the ball joint needed to be pressed out but it's in fact the bushes I'm thinking of so that shouldn't be an issue.
  9. I have a lower compression arm that I need fitted to my Z. I was wondering if this is a DIY job with non-specialist type tools? I'm thinking not- as I'm a assuming I will need some kind of a hydraulic press to remove the ball joint but just want clarification. What do you guys think?
  10. I have Falken 453s on the rear of my zed. So far so good. Good price vs performance. A little bit edgy in the wet but they have a predictable feel about them. Had them on the track too- it was a very hot / dry day though. The Vred Ultra Sessantas are class tyres. Amazing grip in the dry and wet. I ran them on my GT (225s) so I have no idea what they are like on a Zed. The soft compound of them means they didn't last too long. I think I got about 8,100 miles out of them on a front wheel drive with 140bhp /120 lb ft torque.
  11. I hope there were no Zeds on board this bad vessel.
  12. PM sent delz0r! Cheers Will yeah I defo need a stubby aerial, it's on the to do list
  13. Interesting. Was the soldering difficult? What guide did you use- looking at the pictures there are 4 wires in the OEM connections- 2 of these wires on each connector are being soldered to one of the two wires on the new fan shroud?
  14. Hi all.... I've started looking at some mods depending on my available funds- I have unconfirmed Zeditis symptoms: > Thinking of getting a Stillen Front splitter for the OEM bumper in carbon. > I'd like Berk HFCs > Exhaust system- (will be posting here for some advice soon) Thanks for reading.... and of course some pictures:
  15. Do you guys in the UK get taxed on gains you make selling the shares? Over here it's as high as 33% on the gains over what you paid. So that in addition to your buying and selling fees can add up quite a lot. Keep that in mind.
  16. I really like that Nismo gauge cluster. Not very different from the OEM but nicer with the way the illumination work. I presume that is a direct connect replacement to the OEM? GLWS!
  17. I spent nearly 40mins on that web page in work today. My god it's addictive
  18. I don't anticipate I'll be going 180mph lol! Thanks for the picture- my Zed is blade silver so it's nice to have an idea what it will look like and it really does look great. If I go ahead and buy one of these then I've finally succumbed to Zeditis as it would be my first mod
  19. I figured the aero gains would not be massive but was just interested in if they had any real world gains, even if marginal. I agree they look very nice especially with the turnbuckle connectors That's a good point Dedman... fibreglass ones wouldn't last too long I'd imagine.
  20. Like this one: http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/350z-stillen-oem-front-splitter.aspx Do they genuinely increase downforce or are they more style than substance? I am thinking along the lines of some aero upgrades for track use.
  21. This is turning into a thread about showboating contest for the highest MPG in the Zed... it should be about who can the LOWEST mpg!
  22. It could very well be just a bit of brake squeel Indy. Could be a sticky caliper on the rear?
  23. This is the best I got with the cruise control on the motorway yesterday: It didn't last long. I'm already down to the low 20s after a hoon around the local backroads.
