  1. I havent wheel spun once personally, but my car is fwd. studs IMO is OTT plus with winter tyres you can drive at 5c at 70mph nice and peacful not much wear either. studs would out super quick and they are noisy and they would give you less grip when its not deep snow. Love to know how they are on a 350 though.
  2. I have winter tyres on and they are great for snow and water aswell. Today was snowing really heavily in my hood but it was all melting where I work. The roads where pretty much flooded with some snow still on them, how do the snow socks deal with that? Does the sock stop the water being pumped out by the tyre? I might get some for my 350
  3. I have the Continental WinterContact TS 790. they are fitted them to the 172 and they are awesome. No aquaplaning. Have driven them in -4 so far and no problem. No onebit of wheel spin, even in snow.

    accelera tyres

    Uniroyals RS2 arent an out in out sports tyre IMO but its quieter than GSD-3's and are epic in the wet, really really good. Dry grip is 7/10 but wet grip is pretty much equal to dry grip no joke. The sidewalls are a little soft and they dont have the best grip outright. Also I didnt find them as good as any other tyre when hot they perfer warm/wet.
  6. Ive got a jdm, so Il be cleaning mine, then etch primer, chasis paint and then some dynax UB and dynaz s50 for the arches.
  7. IL try them for you aswell if you want to send me some free pads.

    1 Eibach spring

    That's why I'm pretty miffed. I doubt they will pay for labour costs my point was if you got in contact with them they would probably replace the springs saving you £££ I have but its a complicated procedure because I bought brand new from a forum member. Thanks
  9. Don't have any pics but there is a 350z that runs over a cat in American dad. The one where Steve gets the old scabby cat.

    1 Eibach spring

    Im looking for an Eibach spring. One of mine has broke and it needs moted. Any help would be much appricated.
  13. Im not condoning this im just curious to know how it works, is the traction control flared up by incorrect sizes or incorrect sizes front and back? yeah i reckon it is front to back on a pre06 car. mine are a bit out due to available sizes in the width i wanted, not as much as suggested here but i made sure they are the same amount out front to back, never had any TC problems. Ah ok I think i read it has about a 4% tollerance before it gets confusued.
  14. Mad motors are good. I bought my dc manifolds from them

  16. During winter no, but 99ron usually gets you more mpg plus the car feels smoother.
  17. would it matter if both tyre profiles where changed?

    Rim Wax

    +1. plus with FK1000p you can use it on the rest of your car, so one less product to buy.
  19. But then you will have to stop and take them off won't you? I reckon useful in Sweden or somewhere like that but not over here... I think its like a get me home type thing. If you want to keep driving your zed in winter, get winter tyres. It the only real option.
  20. You could buy a IB sub but these ate usually less efficient. Why not just amp your fronts and do without the rears? Would be cheaper and give s better sound.
  21. For the fronts go for 6.5" comps (separate woofer and tweeter). Get 6.5" coaxs (woofer and tweeter built in). You might need mdf rings for the speakers to sit properly on the front. In regards to a sub get a 8" or 10" sub made for small boxes. 300rms is loads for a small box also. How much is not slot though? Get on TA and look at the for sale. I have always bought 98% of my stuff on there.
  22. 1 colour on each side, e.g. green on drivers side and yellow on passengers side.
  23. Wow, that car is beatiful.
  24. Wasnt being a fussy so and so just trying to make your ad look as good as possible
  25. Good luck with sale mate, but this line "This model is suitable for the earlier 350z engines and not the non rev up engines." shouldnt it be "This model is suitable for the earlier 350z engines and not the rev up engines." ?
