Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I’ve currently had this nightmare problem for the last two years.

A long long journey down to Pembrey at the weekend for 2 more days of Sprinting. around 650 miles drove in total and over £200 of Shells finest but the double win was worth it.

I always use mytyres and then go to my local place and see if they can beat/match. If not I use them. Been using that site for maybe 16 years

Decent price I think nice find

Hi and welcome along. Nice looking Z you have.

4s available here

Thanks to everyone for replying. I have decided to get some PS5s since I cant find PS4S :/. Having them fitted in 2 days and hopefully wont die when they are fitted

You might not be trying but you come across as one. No wonder this place is dying on it's arse. Its pretty obvious a slick is better than a semi slick is better than a road tyre. No 5hit Sherlock.

Okay so I live near Gatwick so it got cold-ish during winter and we had the occasional snow shower. At times it was a few inches deep but obviously not as much as up north. I live on a hill where we get more snow settling than surrounding areas and most people (likely due to them being scared), don't attempt to go down or up the hill when it's snowed. I used to run MPSS (a predecessor to the current Michelin Pilot sport 4s and 5) all year round and they could handle everything well. However when I decided to get a second set of alloys (£250 for the standard non rays) to run Michelin pilot alpin tyres in the winter (when temps drop below 7c) the performance was transformed during the winter and when it snowed. The grip was outstanding in cold dry a d cold wet weather. It felt like I was driving in the MPSS in the dry. This one time at band camp... When it really snowed down here and a few inches settled, I was easily able to overtake Range Rovers having issues in their summer tyres. If performance all the time is for you, get 2 sets. One summer and one winter. Definitely worth it. If not then I'd say just get a good set of high performance summer tyres like the Michelin pilot sports. Most people aren't lunatics like me and wanting to push their car all year round especially when it's pouring down with heavy rain.

Not trying to be a dick here, but when someone is asking for help on tyres to be used all year round then recommending something you’ve never tried in the rain (why???) isn’t exactly helping him. What did you have on before the SC7? Also they won’t have mental levels of grip, as that’s not what they’re designed for. I don’t doubt they have good levels, but the phrase mental might be over selling them a tad: they’re not a semi-slick which I would happily class as mental on the roads 🤣

Pirelli have long traded off their association with F1 rather than, y’know, actually making tyres that are any good. Until you hit the semi slick range, you’ll find like for like that Pirelli lack grip in dry and certainly wet conditions, and importantly feel as well. I’ve yet to meet one I would actually spend money on. 4S are sportier than 5, but a quick google will give you more detail on that. As I’ve yet to try the SC7 I can’t really comment on them over the 4S.

As far as I’m aware, Cougar Store hasn’t been active for a while now, so you may struggle to get hold of them through the old usual channels. If you’re after parts or work doing, it’s worth posting up what you need as someone here will likely point you toward a current trader or recommend an alternative.

350z on 2nd episode

Continental ContactSport 7s. Fitted them in the summer, incredible in the dry, mental levels of grip. No idea about the wet, the car doesn't leave the garage if its raining.

PS4S buddy

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...
