What's the next thing to be done to your zed?

My engine has a 'torque problem'..... :x



This is the central rear differential bolt (m14)..... it snapped :lol:

Now to find a stronger bolt... [/quot

Ouch!!! Let me know how you get on. If i can i will help out I could knock something up out of Ti for you. You would just have to pay material costs postage and a few beers for me

Sadly i think the new year will be the my next mod... Which will be to return it to standard as we'll be parting ways[emoji17]

fed up of it or just time for change. i was thinking of a 635d that maybe her indoors might be able to sit in?


or ill just give it a wash. all my modding budget (is admittedly small for the Z as im not interested in adding any bling for it) is being spent on the new engine for the westy maybe get some wheel bolts for the spacers i got of MM a little while back.

my next mod will be the quad exhaust system (next week) then lower it and maybe new front bumper. but the exhaust is first.

Titanium wont be strong enough. Ti is strong regarding to the weight, but not regarding to the size. I'm bound to the m14 bolthole.
But If you can find a M14x1,5x130 bolt in 12.9 grade steel please inform me (the stock bolt is m14x1,5x130 10.9)
I can find a m14x1,5x120 12.9 (which is probably too short) and a m14x2x130 12.9 but both are not exactly the same size. The m14x2x130 12.9 will fit (with a new nut), but the 2mm pich means that the bolt is less strong (the core is thinner due to bigger threads) and I have to use a larger torque setting.

It is a metal fatigue issue btw, not a peak power snap.
