rickya Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 The reason it has taken me so long to post these pics as some of you may know is laziness; bad weather & offcourse our new little baby girl who arrived a few weeks ago! Anyway I have at last taken new pics today with my 19" TSW Thruxtons, which I fitted about 6 weeks ago. I think mine is the first zed yet in the UK with these wheels They may not be to everyones taste being a little different form the OEM style japanese offerings etc, but I do like the not so understaed US styling! Apologies as it rained inbetween & the car is by no means gleaming due to no polish/waxing & rubbish light conditions. Iv owned the zed about 8 months & wasn't planning to do any mods really, that was until I discovered this site!! Anyway: Mods so far: -19" TSW Thruxtons with Toyo Proxy rubber -Impul 933S Rear Wing -Fujitsubo Titanium Hybrid Exhaust -Nismo Grounding -Stubby ariel -Made cold air feed to standard airbox -Refurbed gearknob with paint & clear laquer -Made missing towing eye cover with black plastic -Chrome indicator bulbs -Fitted UK style front plate with no mount plate -Changed rear Fairlady & burger badge - Z badge for bonnet /Z mats -Fitted rear view camera (with nightvision) to existing lcd screen -Carbon fibre front air dam -Rear window tints Definite future mods: Paint & fit my Nissan plastic Splashguards Order & fit Motordyne's 'ISO Thermal 5/16th Plenum Spacer Not so sure mods Kinetix High Flow Cats (Wish list mod, if I still have the car a few years down the line: Vortech or Greddy Supercharger with ECU!!! ) Enough babbling on, here's a few pics: How she started life in the UK. Thats me about to buy the car! Today: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev-the-Rev Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 For someone who hadn't intended do any mods, you've certainly done a U-turn on that decision. It looks great though and you must be pleased with the outcome so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickya Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 yay at last, looks good dude. Whay exactly did they do to your knob when it had a refurb? Mines looking a little worn too. . . . (sexual connetations besides) Jamie My knob was beginning to peel & corrode a bit due to the previous owner resting their sweaty palm on my knob too much. I sanded it down a little; 2 coats of paint from a touch up brush; & two coats of laquer & my knob is now shiny. So if you want a shiny knob like mine, just touch it up a bit & itl shine like mine.

leep1981 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Looks sweet mate. How easy is it to switch to a UK style front plate? Thinking of doing it with mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 just purchase the number plate holder parts from Holdcroft or Mr.F at MJP with forum discount. Easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickya Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 for comments! As Mike says just buy the UK no. plate holder & fix it on, very easy. I prefered it without any holder, just two screws & sticky pads on either ends. I prefered this more flush look without any holder but either will do the job.
