is it silver or gm?

WoW! do you have any more pics? What tyres you running?

would those vienna's fit? they look wider than mine.

They came off a widebody 350z that was running spacers in the front and even wider spacers on the rear. The wheel width is actually pretty sensible, especially when it comes to getting tyres on without having to resort to stretch or crazy tyre sizes etc.

I was thinking maybe 18's front, 19's back, if i cant source any more 19's for now?

i definately want 19's on if possible, so if i cant fit the -43's on the front or back, then i might just sell them and try and source a more conservative offset for the front, because i dont really wanna mess with the arches.

might have to space the rears out then...

docwra, according to my calculator 10j -18 extends the same as 8j -43.

so are are you sayiing i'll need to get arch work? as i dont really wanna modify the car at all tbh.

They havn't got any tyres on at the moment. rears are 10.5j offset unknown but im guessing around +20ish. so the fronts will stick out more than the rears. will this mess up handling?

19" 8j et-43?

non brembo, oem suspension.

how could it have that much power?

maybe it was the persons fault rather than halfords, i got some new bmw colour with metal flakes and an under tint made up on a sunday as everywhere was closed. came out spot on and the guy making it up was testing it and asking if it was the right colour.

hey guys, just a quick update. thanks agian for everyone who offered a spin in their car

I wasn't happy with the quality of the paintwork on my car so im im still without a vehicle.

A mate of mine took me to view a jdm automatic fairlady. I did like it but it but noticed it didnt have the gold brembo's that i want although the brakes seemed good when i test drove it.

The Auto box had a nice kickdown although it didnt have as much topend as i hoped for but i have been driving R8's and M3's lately so probably been spoiled there lol!

There was a strange ticking sound coming from under the car when i parked up and switched the engine off, the owner said this was normal when it is cooling down???

Just need to test drive a manual now, but im liking the ease of the auto especially as the japs put the indicators on the right it means i can drive with only using my right hand.

lol, nice one guys. I couldnt see any local to me that i would want to buy and i wouldnt wanna test drive someones car under the pretence that i was looking to purchase it if i wasn't (dunno if they'd appreciate me giving it some beans either lol).

If i do like the way the z drives i'll be making a few trips to look around at some.

I have put my car in for a respray before i advertise it, so I shall be pm'ing as soon as i can drive out to meet up (sometime this week).

Appreciate the kind attitude on this board already

I am 29 years old now and wanting a faster car looking to buy a 350z based on the looks and what i have read, but i have never actually been in one. If i dont like it i may have to get a bmw/audi instead.

I am looking to buy a 350z and was wondering which is faster of the two?
