Whats wrong with Pirelli? And what are the differences between PS4S and PS5 and why would you recommend the 4s over 5? Would the SC7 be better than the PS4S too?

I live in Buckinghamshire, so like south-east England.

As above, can't go wrong with some Pilot Sport 5's. They're very good.

Please don’t buy anything with Pirelli on, for a start. If you can get Michelin PS4S in the right sizes, do that. If not, then PS5 will do you nicely: I ran them for two years on my daily, and they handled baking days as well as torrential rain and the snow happily. Currently trying some Conti SC5s, and they’re okay but don’t excel in anything like I felt the PS5s did. I wanted the SC7, which would be worth a shout as well, but couldn’t get them in time for an MOT.

As per the title, I'm looking for the sidelight bulb holder as one of mine is damaged and not making the proper connection.

Welcome aboard, that looks like it's going to be an absolutely gorgeous 350 by the time it's finished.

Howdy, What part of the UK do you live in?

Hi and welcome 😁

I recently bought my 350Z and have found that some tyres are showing some age. Figured I should replace all the tyres just to be safe, since I have the money for it. I am looking for something that can handle all year round uk weather. This is my only car, and unfortunately I am DAILYing it. I want to maximise performance in the summer but not die in the winter/rain. I might take it on the track, and if the tyres can handle it, then maybe I don't need to buy a new set just for track. I have seen some recommendations for the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3, but I am sceptical about the price of it on some websites. Can anyone recommend some tyres that would fit my needs, please? Thank you in advance. My size is Fronts: 225/45/R18 and Rears: 245/45/R18 Also, my first post, I don't know if I posted in the right category sorry.

Doesn't appear to impact Zed's, no DPF, no GPF (as it's port injection) no EGR, Adblue, and if you delete the cat you wouldn't get through an MOT legally anyway 90s JDM fine But if your toy of choice is a modified BMW M2/3/4, Audi RS2/3/4 etc though, with GPF delete and you like a pop and bang...

What's first on the plan?

The fun police strike again 😕

Hi just bought my first z trying to bring her back to life

Interesting...

Hi Paul, if you’ve got a set available it’d be worth dropping Sarah a few details — condition, colour, and whether they’re definitely UK RHD fitment. Sarah, just a quick reminder to check the hinge/spring action and the fixing points before buying, as the outer handles can get a bit tired with age.

No, the misfire stayed (again only when hot) but the car refuses to give me a misfire code with any code reader so I cant see if the misfire has moved cylinder

These are prone for coming loose, so firstly check that the 6 fixing bolts are tight. (manifold to head) Unsure of specialists in west midlands, however any decent indy garage who know there way around a 350Z should manage this for you. What TT set up are you running?

So Cranfield would be road testing the new Z if HQ can get it approved. I think 4-5 years into the cycle is a bit late and they wont sell. Better of only bringing the RZ34 Nismo and Special editions (Heritage) both in Auto and Manual. Dont bother with the base or even performance. Cap it at £50,000. Moving onto a new model by 2029 and/or new platform. But I doubt theres any money for that after this heavy facelift and 2027 manual Nismo introduction. Many Chinese companies have new models every 6 months with huge investment.....maybe Nissan can sell some stake for better management since they got denied for partnership by Honda and co. Chinese investment focuses on electric arm and hybrid tech and stops overreliance on Renault who no longer need Nissan and are already a superior run company. They can contribute to development of hybrid engines for next generation. I reckon the emissions and green agenda will balance itself out if the politics go where it looks to be going. Many manufacturers are giving up the pure EV hype. With Chinese investment Nissan could get a hybrid 3.0T or 3.5T hybrid 450-500hp newly designed Engine into a new platform and refreshed body design. Maybe also consider all wheel drive additional drivetrain will pass Euro 7 emissions if done right. Well thats a huge investment for a serious company. I dont think Nissan are there. A "bored art student" has rendered this an homage to the original Fairlady Z

Sorry are you saying you swapped the coil packs over and the misfire went away?

Hi

Hi all I have a 2004 350z that is twin turbo that is unfortunately blowing out of the driver side exhaust manifold gasket, is there any garages/specialists westmidlands ways that anyone can recommend to sort it out.

Couple of days back i noticed a misfire on the car when the car was hot. During the misfire the smell of fuel was incredibly potent. If I let the car cool down, it goes away. No eml.was illuminated. It was suggested that I try unplugging the maf and running the car again, this did not seem to make any difference other than illuminated the eml. Left if for a day, arranged recovery, during recovery the car was code scanned and showed: Air mass and temp i understand are part of the same and a result of me unplugging. Cylinder 3 misfire I suspect coil pack. Now, i thought ill swap coil 1 and 3 nusg to see if the fault follows but now the car refuses to give me an error code? Despite trying 3 different scanners from cheap home Bluetooth to professional equipment. So i cant actually see if the fault moved. Whats the chances a coil fixes this? What else could it be? How can I get the car to spit a code at me...

My concern was the PS pump, pretty sure it's not tyres, I know that rubber-rised squeal sound well lol!

Nissan have, or had in the 00s, 3 engineering centres, one in UK (Cranfield) one in Japan, one in the US. Development was a collaboration but each NTC tailored the models to their markets (as well as handling things like regional regulations). I'm going to guess that's still how they work.

Interesting, they have better roads although they use more concrete. Is it just the market demands for comfortability? Expect Japanese spec would ride different. Especially the Nismo.
