Millzzz

It's used most days when I can't be arsed to cycle the 10 miles into work. So . . . . Yah! I know. I doubt I've gone above 70 since then lol. Funds have prevented from sorting the issue but I'm going to throw a bit of money at her to get her sorted . . .

Cheers for that Irh, very informative. Looks like 18's are the way to go then! Ok, now onto the "which wheels" advice bit, which 18's on a standard PPW Z? I'm really indecisive about this stuff & would really appreciate suggestions . . . I like black, but can easily change my mind if a wheel suits the car enough. Oh & within the £900 WITH tyres I couldn't tell you ATTAK, forgot to ask her lol. Haven't you just spent a grand on some rather funky wheels?

and ??????????????? And a lot more expensive is not a good thing Also the perception is that bigger wheels will fill the arches more, which is incorrect due to the lower profile tyres........ I'm struggling to see one benefit of 20's........................ This is the sort of help I was after. They seem like a good deal & look nice on white Z's. Okay, I'll spell out my whole situation. The rubber on my Z currently is waaaay too low (It JUST passed the MOT last October) I don't thrash it about partly for this reason, but I think it's time it got changed. I got a quote of around £530 for new tyres all the way round. This would do fine if I didn't want to start modding it in the next year or so. Cue my "I may as well just buy some wheels WITH tyres" way of thinking. Budgeting £900 for wheels, I really like the Rota Torque Drift in black w/ red lip (18"). Unfortunately they cost (from what I've found) around £900-£950 WITHOUT rubber. Not ideal... Found these - http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=36857 - on here & really liked the look of them, plus they're within budget. Suggestions? Cheers for help so far

Ok to live with then? How great is the power loss? Sexy as f**k? YUS!

Do you think 20" might be a bit OTT for an everyday, non show car?

Thinking of getting some new "shoes" for my Zed, Liking a set of wheels a member on here's selling, would just like to know however what significant changes it'd make to the car? Ride quality, performance etc. Also things I'd need to consider for fitting etc. Any advice really. All suggestions/advice welcome. Thanks in advance

PM'd Cheers.

That last bloke is a jedi in parkour

Big fan of the VXR8. Had a little 'play' with one down the A47 near Norwich a few months back Don't quite know what the 2.0l diesel 1 series Beemer was thinking when he joined in though lol.

nice!

At least it shows you're enjoying it

I fell asleep behind the wheel in 2005 (Didn't own the Z back then). Rumble strips in the central reservation woke me up, I pooped myself, looked at the speedo - 97mph - Oh crumbs, checked the rear view to see a strip of blue LED's flashing their arse off. Suffice to say I got a rollocking. They thought I was drunk so had the test, which was 0 (I don't really drink lol), fortunately. Just got 3points & a £60 fine! I actually thanked them after, not only for their leniency, but also the fact they probably saved mine or someone else's life! Shockingly enough I don't take the risk to drive tired any more . . .

That vid's quality Husky! Paintball's for girlies, airsoft's where it's at for painful replica firearms Casing point . . . Let me know, I can hook you up

Just an update. Trainings going well. Completed a 67 mile training ride Wednesday. Me & another completed it in 4hrs. Only stopping to check our navigation (Maps, no Sat-nav nonsense! lol). Not so good news is that the event's had to be postponed until July due to poor sponsorship. SO, with renewed vigor, ANYONE WANT TO SPONSOR ME?! lol If I can raise £500 from this club alone, I'll see what I can do about printing the club logo on me jersey If that's not an incentive to donate, I don't know what is!

(I did do a search on this, but couldn't find anything useful) Ok, some of you know I've been having an electrical 'issue' with my Z (2002 JDM). - Battery drains VERY quickly, as in, it's dead if I leave it connected for a few days... I resort now to disconnecting the battery every evening when I get back from work (I'm on my 3rd battery in a year). I thought it may of been due to big car, small battery, but surely it shouldn't be this bad? It's been getting steadily worse over the last few months too. I popped into me local Nissan Dealer to pick up some wiper blades & had a wee chat about it. The bloke said it could be the earthing cable's corroded & needs a replacement. Pretty simple thing to check apparently. For those that know . . . Anyone know? lol. Would love to eliminate it from the possibilities if it's not it . . . Cheers, Chris.

Very nice mate, I also have a white Z (pre facelift though). Bloomin' lovely ain't they?

Thankyou Russ, just because I saw this thread & your pics, I decided to go outside in the beaming sunshine & give my Z a nice wax after getting it valeted this morning.

S*** the bed, Going to have to wait a few years at least then lol

When you say "FI", I assume you mean forced induction? There goes my future of supercharging

Good old search button lol. Was wondering this myself actually. I'm 24 & have owned my Z for a year now, love it & always have loved Z's. Can't quite contemplate how 20yr olds have Z's! It costs me an arm & a leg to insure so I duno how you chaps manage it lol, especially with the amount of mods on Ians!

+1 That now means any little chav that is a sore loser for losing . . . . . *ahem* I mean, anyone discontent with being overtaken in a completely normal & legal manner can get me an ASBO with a bit of moaning?? Bloody ludacrous!

Maybe take your willy-waving elsewhere?

Good gawd I was sooooo joking! I've already abused one car in my modding history, I'm not intending to do the same with the Z! lol 2012 . . . Shall be the year I can start affording to mod the Z . . . Either that or the world's going to end

Might have to get one of these to go along with that electronic dump valve I've got on the way . . .

Good god Marky is that your Z?? I take it that pics from when you had it's sprayed? Didn't know they take it apart that much lol!
