  1. Very true but spacers aren't too pricey if the wheels are cheap enough!
  2. Another nice set of wheels that would probably fit a 370Z: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251865008124
  3. Could be a great looking set of wheels for a 370Z, assuming the hub bore is large enough: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251865512542
  4. You def want it with the auto anyway, paddles are quite good! Suits the more GT style of the car. Not sure if they maybe did a manual overseas? I think that's a shame, with upgraded wheels, suspension and exhaust it could be a nice alternative to a 370Z. I'm just not old enough for an auto just yet.
  5. Does the G37 Coupe only come with the auto gearbox in the UK? I haven't seen any manual ones advertised but there's so few about anyway I'm not sure if they're just really rare!

    will wheels fit

    I think the wheels are the standard ones from a Skyline or Infiniti G35 and are the same sizes and offsets as the standard 350Z wheels so should fit no problem. Tyre sizes should be the usual 225/45R18 front, 245/45R18 rear although those odd sizes might work. I agree though, way too expensive when Rays can be had for a lot less.
  7. This is what it'd look like: Looks good but unless you want those particular wheels I think 19" all round would look better.

    wheel nuts

    The 370Z Rays use a flat seat nut. I think the Nissan part number was 40224-JK00A last time I looked into it, no idea on price though. If you want locking nuts then they're Nissan 999W2-JT000 or McGard 21153.
  9. I've not used them but would have thought something like these would do the trick: H&R Hub / PCD Adapter With 25 mm Spacer - Nissan > BMW
  10. The two interior photos aren't of the same car!
  11. I've still got my one if you can source another three from elsewhere: Rota Centre Cap - Gunmetal Medium Top
  12. I still have mine available: Grey Rear Strut Cover PM me if you're interested.
  13. Yes I've still got it, £10 and it's yours.
  14. I've run those same winter tyres for about 4000 miles over the last three winters and I've found them great in snow, ice or just cold, damp and slippery. Mine cost me £666 if I recall so these are an absolute bargain.
  15. The grey (they say it's silver) one in Burton isn't rev-up, the rev-up would have the newer headlights, rear lights, front bumper and interior of the HR but without the bonnet bulge. That Burton one has none of those things.
  16. The high tax kicked in on 23 March 2006 so a few early 06 plates will be in the lower bracket. I just checked the vehicle enquiry page and that grey one was registered on 15 March so you're in luck.
  17. When I was last looking for a 911 about 15 years ago I went to see 911Virgin, seemed like a nice guy but I was really put off when he told me he'd clocked a yellow 911 to help it sell as high mileages put people off. I presume they've moved on from that and are now a more honest and professional business?
  18. A 275/40 tyre might look a little chubby for your needs then so go with 245/40 and 265/40. If you want some stretch then 235/40 and 255/40 should also be fine with the VDC but would make your speedo out by a bit more than ideal.
  19. Don't know about those, they're suitable for 9.5" wheels but otherwise quite small and similarly sized. I'd say that you'd be safe with 245/40 front with 265/40 rear or 255/40 front with 275/40 rear. Both would retain a similar front to rear ratio and overall circumference of the standard tyres and be suitable for 9.5" rims. Would depend on your offsets and how low you are though.
  20. You might get some ideas from this thread, there's a few that look like what you're after : Multi-Spoke Wheels - Why Not?
  21. Unfortunately it's 2cm too long to go in the post and a courier is going to be around £10, so even at £20 I'm only getting £10. If you'd like to collect then you can have it for £10, can't say fairer than that.
