  1. Keen to hear the exhaust. Thinking of moving to a single exit myself
  2. so i'd this up for sale for a few weeks as I'd decided I didn't need 2 project's and was going to put more into my ae86 But as people came to view the zed I realised that I was going to be waaaaay sad to sell it lol. Then fate decided that someone made me a MENTAL offer on the ae86 (ireland loves its ae86's) and off it went to a new home. So the zed lives on and I'm pretty happy about it!! Plans are new brake discs into 2022 as the Mtec ones (less than 5k on them) are badly warped, and even after they where machine skimmed (again showing how badly they where warped) they still aren't right after another 1k. I'm putting it down to below par quality etc. Looking at stoptech or similar to replace. Im toying with switching out the miltek for something with a little more 'personality' although with the Y pipe and decals the miltek sings rightly on WOT but the itch of a big ignorant single exhaust is there lol.... video of the miltek on WOT after this the tires are going to be switched out to the new TOYO T1r's (had them on the '86 and was seriously impressed with grip and feel) From here plan is few mondello international trackways into next summer.
  3. Came to my senses and sold the project lol. Had people come see it and was sick to my stomach when people where poking round it. used that as a sign lol mod’d fee free to Lock and thanks to kind words above
  4. Any interest guys? Open to offers etc and can work with folks on transport etc of car
  5. Selling due to lack of use and another project. Rev Up Engine (single intake version) Approx 310bhp with 7.5k rev limit Car has been meticulously cared for, serviced and carefully and tastefully modified Bodywork and paint is 100% blemish and ding/dent free & Arches/sills etc are perfect. I purchased the car 5 1/2yrs ago and from that point have worked to try and create a subtle but purposeful looking 350z. Car spec is listed below. 67656k (might increase slowly as car is used at dry weekends) Upper & Lower suspension Arms replaced at 65k Whiteline Adjustable control arms at 65k Xtreme Clutch & Single Mass flywheel fitted at 62k Below work at 60k Whiteline ARB bushes Whiteline Uprated W Brace Nissan OEM kidney braces Braided front and rear brake and clutch lines MTec uprated discs and stoptech pads Full fluid service inc diff/gearbox/engine oil Plugs replaced at 55k Car has a full resonated milltek exhaust and JW Popcharger intake. Very subtle on tick over and daily driving but on full throttle it sounds as a v6 should. Zero motorway drone Front bumper was smoothed and front plinth removed, inc in sale for MOT's etc. Zunsport front grill delete The rear of the car has a genuine KBD Polyurethane Ducktail spoiler. Side skirts are subtly extended with tarmac sports skirt extensions. Front lip is a ‘Mines’ fibreglass replica painted gloss black. No speed bump issues. Car is lowered on eibach progressive springs. Nice drop but not crashy or too stiff. The wheels are very rare 19” genuine nismo staggered LMGT4’s (8.5” & 9.5” rears) tires all have above 3.5mm thread Interior remains fairly stock with a few age related marks sub not cracks/rips or damage Rear glass and rear quarters are tinted by pentagon NI. Are perfect with no bubbles etc Steering wheel has been upgraded to a jack royal hand made alcantara wheel with subtle orange stitch Gear knob is a rare south bend clutch billet aluminium piece with a nice feel and weight to it. Sound system less than a year old with a full pioneer setup inc sub/amp/components and tweeters. Sounds incredible and professionally built. Personal reg will not be with the car. Pictures speak for themselves You will not find a cleaner better cared for example of a car that is getting rarer on the road and more collectible. Thanks for looking Located in Northern Ireland But 10 minutes from airport and port. Can work with potential buyers regarding travel etc have sold a few cars to mainland and its a nice day out for the new owner and I can collect from Airports/docks etc Priced at £11000 but open to offers and will work with Forum owners on price Photos of all the work inc clutch etc can be provided to potential new owner
  6. I’d say they’d look incredible. Mine Are the 19” staggered Option. that Nismo looks lovely. Think it’s one of the few cars I’d leave my zed for
  7. Was sent this of my car yesterday love how it’s sitting right now. Away this weekend for a subtle sound build
  8. I didn’t know he also did repairs?
  9. he has been saying no one is able or wants to tackle his broken zed roof motors.... anyone have any ideas who could do it??
  10. i find his energy and enthusiasm refreshing. Yes he can be a bit full on in certain ways but he isn't afraid to laugh at himself and seems to seriously have a decent broad knowledge across a good few car types/brands and scenes. I glance through his car park meet stuff but I think that's his bread and butter for content. He has done a few very good show videos over the last little while.
  11. Few Photos from cleaning recently after the MOT
  12. Well been a weird 6-7months with the zed. Feels as if it’s been 1 step forward and 2 steps back in every department. But sometimes that’s how it goes. Below is pretty much an update from last October to today.so last autumn the car was prep’d for going away during winter months. Washed etc, headlights cleared, cleaned and treated by local detailer at PMG and new badge popped on front to freshen up the car. the car was suffering from bad brake shuddering, and despite the pads and discs less than 18 months old They where badly warped. They where skimmed, car sat on stands for a week. then it went under cover with a trickle charger Summer 2020 has seen the bumper smoothed and rear ducktail fitted but before it went under cover the rear spoiler began to react badly. Bubbles full of water. There is another thread about it and I’m not going into much more detail. so winter came and wife got me a lovely present for Christmas thanks to Reinis B Photography it was time to sort the spoiler and get it back onto road for spring.unfortunate circumstances with the painter led to Me having to sort the spoiler myself.old spoiler needed removing so out came the lidl dremel style tool and find metal wire.Then we realised the old one had been screen bonded on and 7hrs later it was off with no damage to the car.... never again Ordered a new KBD ducktail from California and the amazing AG Automotive sorted it.Had the boot lid painted at same time to freshen up and also ensure the fitment was perfect. Honestly blown away by the finish.time for mot.... ballsfailed on worn suspension bush and front window drivers and passenger side tints (chanced my arm with them lol) Must say a massive thanks to Coz at Torqen for sorting next day delivery to Northern Ireland when I forgot to order lower arms to company the banana arms. so off to Ricks Garage Glenavy to get full front end refresh and then to Ivan Kerrs to get alignment. Unfortunately due to Eibach lows it needs adjustable rear camber arms to really dial it in.... next month lolback would really recommend both Ivan and Rick that’s the car back on the road. Hope To get on a few runs and shows this year and have a trouble free motoring time too lol. Thanks for readingForgot to mention for banter I fitted a throttle controller today. Nice and easy install and sharpened the throttle response it seems.
  13. had knocking over last little while, thought no, not banana arms etc etc etc went to change lower control arms as MOT man advised bush was gone in lower arm, thought, '65k may as well do banana arms too' only seen how bad the joints where when they came off. looked and tested fine on ramps etc
  14. Very sad..... all we can hope is that their parts helped others live on .... and as more die our decent ones rise in value
  15. I’ll have that! Ship ok to Northern Ireland? Royal Mail postage is still United Kingdom thanks
  16. lol exactly. Buy for 4K ish, take wheels, stick on oem wheels, sell for 3k perhaps. cheep lmgt4’s lol
  17. maybe the plan is to break it? Wheels worth 2.5k all day going by current prices?
  18. Looks so promising. What way are you thinking of engine management/fueling?
  19. I miss Sunny days and drives! can’t wait for car meets to start again.
  20. ohhh I recognise that car in the background of this forum lol....
  21. If possible can you confirm, would this be a worthwhile mod on a Rev up? map wouldn’t be for a while down the line as it’s near impossible to get someone who can tune one in Northern Ireland. thanks
  22. Amazing level of work there. Well done. Have you an insta or anything to follow?
