GMballistic Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 You remember how to drive now though don't you Matt? If you need any lessons let me know, ...£250 an hour in my supercharged Zed or I'm sure Chris can teach you in the Radical for a very reasonable £300 an hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Well she's alive With the biggest thanks to everyone involved getting my car back on the road. Link to the engine replacement for future reference - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/93388-another-christmas-tale-from-the-zed-shed-update-p4/page__hl__%2Bchristmas+%2Btale So just wanted to give a bit of feed back. Stillen Headers They are a gem! Add an awesome sound to the car, basically makes the top end of the revs sound even more aggressive. Problem I have is, I can't tell you if there is any increase in performance or what the results are when I get it dyno'd again, as a new engine = new BHP. Competition Stage 2 Clutch / Competition Fly Wheel (Single Mass I believe) This is one of the best purchases I made! (Doesn't top the BGW) It's a rattly noisey bugger, but it transforms the car. - Clutch pedal is lighter, Biting point is sharp and straight to the point. You either stall or you pull away, there's no turtle speed with this clutch - Now the issue I have again is, With this new engine, the headers fitted and the clutch upgrades.....I don't know which one it is (Could all be factors) but my car feels so much better than the previous engine. It pulls better, feels stronger and faster. But if I was to have another Zed, Stage 2 clutch and fly would be the first thing on my mod list to do. Mods I've done this year... Only one, thanks to Bodyboarder for my Christmas present - Z Burger badge What do I have in store for 2015? I'm almost where I want my car to be, in terms of all the big stuff I.e. once that's out the way, I'll do the little upgrades, LED bulbs, interior tidy etc. -Full suspension upgrade, So coilovers, Anti Roll bars (Cusco set awaiting to be fitted atm), and full bushes set. -V3 front bumper. Not asking for much, that's all I want for this year - Unless Bizz finishes mocking up his body kit design, then we enter a whole new game But anyway, it's great to be back on the road!!!!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Little update So it's time to finally leave the Monster Truck club and sort out my suspension Just ordered Some BC Racing BR series coilovers - http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/350z_BC_Racing_BR_Series_Coilovers_/BR-D-17-RS_.aspx After doing a bit of research, picking coilovers wasn't easy as I thought But eventually after speaking with BC I found out they did make a set that have a separate Dampening/Spring on the rear. So these are not True coilovers (Like the image suggests ) Main reason was after speaking to a few people, the difference in drive was minimal, and having true coils would involve strengthening the rear Top mount to cope with the additional load on a single place. Along with the Coilovers I'll be fitting and testing some new Cusco Anti Roll Bars To go with the Coils and ARB's along with keeping the MOT guy happy, I've got some White line Adjustable Drop links coming. And to finish it off, I've got some drift works front and rear camber arms on the way This should hopefully transform the ride a bit Fear not, I won't be scrubbing the ground on 90* angled wheels Just looking to reduce the 4x4 arch gap Looking forward to this all arriving. Should be all installed by the start of March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
