    Leather seats

    Im not sure but the wires may be underneath the seat already so once you have the heated seats all you need to do is plug them in. Are the switches blanked out on non GT's in the middle bit.
  2. You can buy it but traction control will NOT work. Yes it will Plenty of people here and in the U.S run a square tyre setup with no issues. Theres a guy called Dan on here that had them and I'm pretty sure DjTimo also run a square setup for a while But I have heard a lot of people who run the same size and have problems. I myself had this problem, when everytime I would go around a corner slowly the traction control would apply brakes to the front of the wheels, its scary! You can avoid this by just removing the traction control completly. As far as I know once the rear wheels are spinning quicker than the front the computer should re calibrate it self and will be fine which is why some US people I know run 245 front and 315 rear.
  3. You can buy it but traction control will NOT work. Buy it, sell a pair, and then get 2 225 45 18" for the front.
  4. Im sure they will be fine, but this will affect your handling, traction control and computer. You will need to have bigger tyres for the rear so that the computer knows that the rear wheels are spinning quiker than the fronts or else you will have problems. Why not just stick to the original or if you want something wider in front go for 245 40 18, and then 265 40 18
  5. Considered the OEM alloys on some BIG CHUNKY tyres BUT firstly cost is higher as diff would need to re gear, would need a small body lift, suspension lift, tyres wear quickly and are horrible to drive in the wet, loads of road noise, too much body roll and I dont go off roading Thats why I went for this look!
  6. Tyres are all 305 40 22 Pirreli Scorpion and in TOTAL cost me £150.deliverd All part worn with 6-7mm tread on them. The thing is these tyres are only used on Hummers and big US trucks so are very cheap on second hand as no one wants them.
  7. Get a Toyota Landcruiser my friend! More reliable and maintanence is cheap, IF they do have issue (which they never do) parts are cheap and they are easy to work with. I own a 1997 Toyota landcruiser colorado, through owning it the past year I have gone through a lot of pads, recently changed disc and steering rack Bushes. Thats all and with 150k on the clock still going strong. They are good for all round and good fuel consumption (30mpg) Heres mine and yes it does have big rims but I dont need it for off roading! The UK models come standard with centre diff locks and a rear diff lock and you can pick up a good one with less than 120,000 miles for 3k or opt for the latter D4D model with more grunt which will set you back about 4-5k. Or you can go for the 80 series amazon, a good one will set you 4k but high mileage and they are quite thirsty.
  8. It has 3 seats at the back which splits and folds up to the side.
  9. -Because I need 8 seats for when we all go out. -Because 4x4 landcruisers are the most reliable thing..... -I need nice wheels on my cars, no matter what they are -Need something to commute to work (50 miles) when it snows/ bad weather. Plus I live in Milton keynes where low profile tyres are good. And I have not once got stuck with my 20" in about 1 foot snow, or thick mud. Plus I personally think it looks awesome!
  10. Have you noted the location Yup, Never go off road, and live in Milton Keynes (Roundabout land).
  11. 20" were looking to small on my cruiser so I thought I would go for the 22". Only problem was that the normal 295 30 22" were too small diameter and would have led to a bad ride, so I opted for some Pirreli Scorpion 305 40 22" Bad Boys! (Just had to do a small Mud Flap Modification to stop if touching! The wheels are 22" 10" wide Team Dynamics wheels with a 4" Stainless steel Dish! Before! After What do you guys think?

    143 350Z Gt4

    The yellow they use on these zeds are very hard to match, but that still is no excuse to a poor match. I re sprayed mine and got it right on my first attempt!
  13. Welcome, I am too From Milton Keynes, I guess I'll be seeing you around.
  14. Im running 9.5 all round with an offset of +15, with 265 front and 285 rear. No Problem!
  15. I have these on my zed to, look awesome and are doing well. I have had them in my landcruier for the past 5 years as well so they last long as well. Well recommended!
  16. I thuoght that if your TREAD on the tyres stick out it will fail the MOT and you can get fined by the police as spray is sent back to the person behind which is dangerous. I spoke to my MOT place and they access the tyres. But only if the actual tread protrude.
  17. When I first starting driving mine it was off, I didnt realise it was really meant to be on.... so I got used to it and never use it.... even in the wet.
  18. How long are you planning on keeping this "winter vehicle for"....? I own a landcruiser, and from prices I have seen for them you can get a good one for around 3k, and they will strongly hold there value once kept in good condition.
  19. As far as I know once the computer reads that the back wheels are spinning faster than the front wheels it will recalibrate it self so you should be fine.... However are you going to use winter tyres in front as well????
  20. I recently re sprayed my zed my self. For best Results I would say that after the respray the paint would have been left to harden for a couple days before a final 2000 sand and compounding. After this it should then be left for at least another 4 weeks for the Lacquer to fully harden. I would advise to do little to no driving as stone chips can be formed a lot easier as the Lacquer is still soft, and it would be worth taking the chances. Once 4 weeks are over, you can do what you want regarding detailing!
  21. I have the same issue, it gets loader once going past 90. I have tried the window reset procendure with no luck at all, so I will give this Lube thing a try.
  22. You could wire them up to the side lights so that when the side lights are on they come on, So all you need to do is cut the side light one and get the power off that.
  23. I wouldn't personally my self, but If I did the job and ecurely put the seats in then I would be comfortable and confident in anyone seeting in the back.... but lets be honest the 350z was MADE to be a 2 seater so why go and do this with it.... Just get the g35 infiniti or another 4 dar car....
  24. As bad as it looks, a main reason why people sell there 350z is because of a baby due ect.... If you are able of getting a child seat in the back comfortably then its worth it for the right person...
