Chris`I

I would need to know an exact price before moving on it. At £30-£35, I'd be in but at £48 I'd be out. +1 I completely understand guys. Unfortunately I can't give an exact exact price due to currency fluctuations and not knowing what rate PayPal are going to give us but I can give an indication as we go on and people join (hopefully). I've got a couple of definites plus me at the moment which gives a price of roughly £39 + UK P&P. This is based on $40 per pedal + $50 / 3 shipping and using the exchange rates on Yahoo (PayPal may be worse). One more would bring it down to something like £36 + P&P, 2 more £34.50 + P&P and so on. TBH it was the numbers north of £40 that were putting me off. If it stays around £35 then I'm still in I paid Adam about a week ago and the exchange rate was fine from what I remember, about the same as XE.com which I used to convert the original quote.

Theres a few young-uns on here about that age, at least sub 30s anway, and I'm only 26 First off check out the many FAQs on the forums, that will answer your questions on the different specs and also give you the names of the import versions if you come across any imports on your travels. As for Nissan, yes they are useless! Most of them deal with Micras day in day out, so what do you expect lol! They are also pants WRT test drives. Although ring around and you might find somewhere. I was told <25yrs old cant test drive them (I was 24 when I got mine), but Dan Perkins in Slough let me. So keep rining around or try a private sell, they may let you drive it if you bring proof of the trade insurance. The car can feel a bit slow, but its all very deceptive. We had a recent thread on it. As the torque curve is so flat, there is no burst of power so you dont feel that kick to get off a turbo/supercharged car. You are going quicker than you know if before you realise though. I was at a RR day with the MLR on Satuday and you'll be amazed at the amount of respect the uber flat Zed torque curve got compared to their laggy turbo graphs It is a heavy car and will no doubt be slower than the Mini you have now, but its much more a cruiser and very capable at higher speeds than hot hatches and the like. And you can tell your other half that at least with a Zed you dont need to fill it up with oil every 5 minutes Get out and drive one and you'll see why we love it

Oh in the vid it said Pulsar engine. Does the Pulsar use the SR20DE? I wouldnt have a clue

I tried asking 10 different ways but they wouldn't say if pricing is changing or not unfortunately LoL typical Nissan! I cant see the price dropping though, so I still think we should close it in time and if theres still demand maybe have a new one with the new price

Yup, its Nissan protecting you against their numb nutt mechanics! Stops you putting the OEM rears on the front

If they are upping the price, I would say make the closing date is in time to get the old price

Ex biker here too (or just between bikes - not sure ), completely agree with you. Yup same here and totally agree. My R6 has been off the road for about a year now, and I'm not sure I'll get it back on again. Just dont find the time to get up at silly o'clock to go out for a ride, which is what you have to do if you want to miss any traffic and get a nice relaxing ride.

For the polisher, a Halfords special would be good for applying glazes and waxes, but not a lot else. If you want a real polisher, try the Kestrel (matt@i4detailing sells it). I used it on my Zed with the starter pack and the difference is pretty astounding. Wax makes the flecks pop properly in the sun

Why not just keep it as a Pulsar? Was the Pulsar it came from dead so they put the engine in the Micra?

Sounds like it to me, good decision

+1 Mine are in the garage somewhere if I can find them your welcome to have them, you will need to get them repolished or painted though I sanded mine back and Hammerited them. Going to the RR day with the MLR I was embarresed they were all rusty, but in their new stealthy black hammerite, no one knew

The Delsa ones are expensive as they are real CF overlay too. I would get some clear ones from Envy/JDM Performance and get someone like Paul to solder in the LEDs for you if you arent confident. I have also seen another Zed with a proper woven mesh and it didnt look too good. Cant remember the name of the company that makes then but they are at shows and stuff. They have a Zed on their website, try doing a google for it.

The rumour is that not all of them do, but it has to be a very early model. Only real way to find out is to get it dyno'd, fit some mods and have it re-dyno'd at the same place in like a months time. See if it dialled them out. Mine (53 reg UK) did a damn fine job of dialling out my mods at the weekend. Made stock power and a little over stock torque on a DynoDynamics. Still sounds and looks a lot better than the Evo's I was there with

No one can replace Tims shirts

Try doing a TB closed position learning reset and idle air reset. They are recommended by JWT when you fit a pop charger if the idle is lumpy. Also do you have air con on all the time? Having it on really makes it idle smoother

Yeah and dont look at the underside, he scaped his y-pipe and exhaust to %$%" . And he chasis is still bent isnt it? J/K potential buyers, we just dont want Tim to sell it. Its a cracking car really

Looks like you've already go enough interest then. Are these already in stock as the site says they were expected late March (dont know what year that was though!). Also do we get any reduction in price as the site states $40 for normal price. If I had known earlier, I could have got Adam to chuck them in with my seat rails

+1 Did Sunset not go? I'll give him one of these at the next Reading meet

The Varis lip isnt too low. Its no lower than the standard lip, just it sticks out a few inches. On standard ride hight and standard wheels its fine. My Rotas run a lower RR than stock which effectively lowers the car 10-15mm and its fine most places. In fact I find that the flexy pipe in the Y pipe scrapes more than the lip. Just take speed bumps nice and slow and its fine

to be honest Chris just typing this lot out has made me think twice Keep the car, come to Wales, happy days

Abosulte f'in bargin! Hope this goes to a good home, you've put a lot of time and effort into her mate If you ever want to split some of the bits, I'd be interested in the carbon interior bits

Yes i did hear it Mike, it sounded very deep and menacing also looked ace with my headlights shining on your rear back box . Sometimes i would love to see my car drive past driven by someone else so that i could just hear the music it makes My best mates old man works in the motor trade and so he has insurance to drive any car. Hes also a very good driver which is nice as I can give him my car to drive and see what it sounds and looks like from a by standers view I think the Nismo sounds better from a bystanders view than in the car

Mine were about £20 from Phil. They rusted to f00k and had to paint them with hammerite. You get what you pay for
