Darren-B Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 unluckily for me, the phrase 'I need NOS' is one that i keep hearing the 'dark passenger' inside whispering Im ruined Very nice car, and great build story.. to see this in a forum garage will be good NeilP has recently moved over to the dark side, so why not more people. It's not the whole hog FI, and it's one step beyond N/a. I think you should both man up & get blown, then use the laughing gas for a little chilling On a tangent to NOS, I was having a play with my mazda yesterday & decided to create a new map, " The meth map" now running 20% meth in the fuel tank, & a progressive 100% meth injection 110cc per minute on boost. took a while to get the fueling & ignition right but my god its quick. :drive1 with all that extra cooling & higher octane I`ve been able to advance the timing 6deg of the stock setup & run boost Now does anyone know if theres an easy way to advance the ignition on the zed?

Wasso Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Okay so it's been a while since a modification, although after the previous painted body kit being fitted and the paint not matching the oem paint, the car has since come back to me from a holiday at RT Performance. Something Taras found out, and to my surprise..... He used 4 suppliers for obtaining B17 (Azure) - painted 4 panels of plastic which would represent the bodywork. He showed me the examples and each sample was different to the others, so 4 suppliers providing ONE paint code, yet the finish resulted in 4 different shades!!!!! So for all you people out there thinking about having your bodykit painted or oem body panels, make sure your sprayer is aware of potential supplier differences. So... now that she's painted I guess you want to see the results..... I am dead pleased with the match and how it should now look. Okay they are just driveway pics, so sometime soon I'll be getting her out to have an improved backdrop photoshoot. Comments regarding the finished paintwork welcome Some may notice the bars on the front bumper are now Azure instead of Black. So.... what's next? Well, the NOS has been sold to Keyser, which will pave the way for a future mod which I think I am a whiskers hair away from completing a deal. There are some small cosmetic interior mods from SpursMadDave which will be fitted by the end of the weekend and I'll post pics thereafter.

ATTAK Z Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I like but why is the front plate offset ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 I like but why is the front plate offset ? I have the Nismo V2 air scoop to the right of the plate, so that's the best I could do without making it look really daft. Reason for location was because I don't want to drill holes into the bumper to mount the plate, neither do I like those stick on plates. It's not the best but it'll do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 I was thinking more like Zed1 but it'd probably cost the earth and some. Cheers for the offer but I can't relate myself a great deal to the word Attack?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thought it was time for an update with the recent modifications. Engine Bay Bolts - Red (Tarmac Sportz) Before After Suspension - Meister R Coilovers (Jabbles), Eibach Camber/Toe arms, New Drop Links and Super Pro Eccentric front Camber Bush purchased and fitted, including alignment - (Horsham Developments) Rear adjustment extenders taken through the rear strut by the gents at the Zed Shed (Chris & Bob) A new decal from Mr Biscuit New Engine Cover and a new decal courtesy of the Zed Shed NOS has been removed - to make way for a superchager (sometime in the future - once I find one!!) OBD2 Wifi Link Installed - iPhone with screenshots. This shows some of the screens available on the dashboard of the App, along with other areas of the App showing fault codes, and many other readings. I've yet to setup some of the other settings within the App so that I can get fuel readings and other information currently not showing New LED side lights Before After New rear carbon strut brace cover And to finish off, a new 350z Tax Disk Holder from Spursmaddave (yes Dave still have other bits to fit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 need to let us know how the new suspension feels? did the rear adjustment screws fit perfectly through the holes already in the rear strut bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) need to let us know how the new suspension feels? did the rear adjustment screws fit perfectly through the holes already in the rear strut bar? Feels great to be honest, very solid. I think it ranges from 0-34 steps on the stiffness. I have it set to 9 front and 10 rear, and that's on the softer side which is still really firm. Set it to max and christ, suspension, what's that!!! Cornering is fantastic, and mixed with my lower compression bushes and ARB bushes from Superpro - it makes for great road holding and feel in the corners.

Sized Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Looking very cool Wasso Just wondered, where did you get your original black carbon engine cover from? There seems to be a massive variation in price of the ones I've found on the internet, so don't want to end up with a piece of crap one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 The engine cover you see there is Blue carbon, which I've taken off to replace with a Red carbon cover. The reason the prices vary so much is due to the quality. Both my Red and Blue I believe we're made by an ex member Carbon Coops. The problem with these is they don't last forever as the carbon will lift a little due to the temps from the engine. You pay for quality and that's why there's such a difference in prices.

Wasso Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Time for a fresh update - its been two months and since I'm not working I may as well work on the car. Step one was to re-polish my plenum, and whilst I was at it I decided to do my ARC Intake and removed my GT Spec Strut to return a polished OEM Strut bar. Before After Then whilst I was there I thought about starting to polish my Timing Cover. I've only polished part of the left side but to give you a comparison I've photo'd the left and right sides. The rest will be completed in due course. Then I installed my new Mishimoto Coolant Reservoir (iPhone pics sorry - I'll post better pics at a later date) The Mishimoto Power Steering will go on soon, and will update accordingly. New Carbon Battery and Brake Fluid Surrounds courtesy of Introspect 'some' of my engine bay bolts added. Still have plenum and strut to replace. Also added one of my new Tommy K badges, one on the rear strut is fitted, the boot one is causing issues as the boot isn't flat so I need to source some foam backed double sided tape. Items to add tomorrow: Nardi Handbrake Cover with custom red stitched Alcantara handbrake and gear boots. Ready to install ARC V2 Catch can, just waiting on vacuum breather cap. Awaiting Parts: Red Samco Air Intake joints Remainder of Pro Bolts Red Brake Callipers Rare JDM Engine Cover Earls Braided Hoses to replace the horrible black oem pipes As a lot of this is preparation for Wales there will be further updates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
